Racer X Films: Washougal 125 Dream Race

On Saturday, at Round 9 of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship from Washougal, a special 125 invitational race was held during the event. Former pros such as Ivan Tedesco, Ryan Huffman, Racer X's David Pingree and Jason Thomas, as well as current pro Josh Hansen and a host of riders from around the industry were invited to compete. Amateur Carson Brown took the win over Tedesco and Pingree. Watch the entire race from Ping's perspective.

DAMN! that was nostalgic. my 1kW home theater cranked at full power. thanks Ping. i wish i could give you a million bucks.

[@Starface111]

I did the exact same thing with my big screen and surround cranked up!!

[@dirkharvey]

I don’t think there will ever be as good of a production as this. The film, music, design, is just mind blowing.

[@yamalink1891]

Ping and Ivan's interviews were humble and keeping things in perspective. Thanks for the awesome footage.

[@drp818]

That was jus straight up bad ass shit right there ..you can see that sparkle in pings eyes when he was on the podium dude was reliving it

[@joenobody2580]

Full gate of pro young bucks and the 2 og's took the podium 🤙

[@_luca.rosa17]

2 stroke! The best sound of my life!

[@jasonprocai1020]

That race is AWESOME, I wish they would promote and air stuff like that. People want to see old pro's racing 2 stroke's....... great ride PING.

[@dreyn7780]

Wrong. It's going to be all electric bikes soon. Riderless racing too.

[@FabienWhite]

Loved it, they need to do more of these!

[@kx65andyx85rider]

Lol doubt them fuckers ever will

[@dreyn7780]

This is how not to ride. I'm serious. He only uses the throttle When the bike is on a straight. Around every corner He's a danger to himself and other riders. You must be blind.

[@justlucky8254]

@@dreyn7780 it says it's been 2 years since you replied to a bunch of comments here with rambling nonsensical BS. Have you beaten your addiction yet? Tweakers aren't cool. Or am I wrong and you suffer from serious head trauma due to your parents dropping you daily as a child? Whatever your issue is, there's help for you out there somewhere. I'd tell you that people care about you and want you to be better, but that would be a lie and I'm too honest for that crap. Good luck to you, if you haven't taken the long walk off the short pier yet.👍🤣

God damn this is cool !! Bring back 125's and save motocross !!

[@kevinh6918]

Best racing going that the AMA wants to act like does not exist....Cmon AMA and grow a PAIR !

[@dreyn7780]

He's rolling the bike around corners. He should take up drag racing instead cause he failed at every turn. I'm not joking.

[@BraapMedia]

now this is real motocross, keeping those 125's pinned. i could almost smell this through the screen of my laptop.. so proud of still owning a 125.

[@chrisgleis2821]

Great ride Ping. Great to see you podium and happy.

[@alexzanderarmstrong]

That was fantastic to ride along with ping!!!!

[@xhozerx]

so rad to watch ping he has amazing style, I hope 2 strokes make a huge come back, I been seeing more smokers at local tracks :)

[@dreyn7780]

His style is all wrong. Electric bikes are here. Insurance will kill off racing with riders on the bikes. It's too costly to have riders. ALL racing will be driverless on silent electric vehicles.

Excellent riding ping. you still got it for sure

[@rcafmaintainer3723]

I'm impressed as I'm sure is everyone, Ping can still haul the mail!! I van is no slouch and Ping kept him sight and even almost showed him a wheel!! Go Ping, way to represent us old dudes!! They should invite James and RC to one of these races.

[@GASBASSASSANDBRASS]

gota love all them two strokes at the gate

[@jdatwood7086]

Go ping!! Man that Yamaha is nice, they should bring back that late 80's retro look right at the factory.

[@scottmorgan6099]

So awesome!....You did well, Ping!...👍

[@jmicm13]

Great ride Ping!

[@dannydevito3259]

best video I've seen in awhile

[@dreyn7780]

These riders turned off the throttle all the way round every corner on the track. In a straight line all brands are the same. They rolled around every corner with NO load on the suspension. They have NO control over the bike around every corner. They're a danger to themselves and all people at the track.

[@SchleichHorseLover200]

Love two strokes

[@Adideva01]

This is Great, need more of these... 2T Awesome! thumbs up! for the guys at the podium.

[@bruin4937]

Damned good race! Thanks for posting! Really enjoyed watching this race!

[@dreyn7780]

Wrong. He failed to pass. Every corner was a disaster. Rolling round corners is NOT acceptable.

[@SOLDOZER]

This race needs John Dowd.

[@raymondsiewert2720]

Impressive that Ping kept Tedesco in sight, and we know about Carson and Washougal .

[@VlogEpicness]

I wish the AMA went back to 2 strokes.

[@MOTO809]

The AMA never banned 2 strokes. You can still run a 250 2 stroke in the 450 class, or a 125 in the 250 class, if you choose. The 4 strokes are so powerful nowadays that a 2 stroke can't really compete to the extent they need to. If you watch the races, every once in a while you hear a privateer on a 2 stroke.

[@jeffboatwright7738]

Dam ping u still got it like that got to like that old school two strokes on the edge cool video guys

[@rad9693]

bad ass video, Ping looked good

[@motonorcal9938]

Ping-bro showing a whole lot of speed here. Very impressive. I watched Stank Dog's helmet cam for this race and the contrast is interesting. Ping a little less hyper.

[@jolding]

That was captivating. Really wanted Ping to pass Tedesco!

[@markme4]

Ward,Omara and Lechein would have wipped today's 450 Pro's on their one two fives !

Ping is fkn fast on a 125. Any decade bike. Love the 90 retro look on that YZ.

that shit was doooope...love the two strokes, pinned all the way

[@CIMIOTTI196]

Bella gara!!

[@maverick2242]

Really looking fwd to the 18 All Stars series, (shame it’s no longer called the Dream Race series) but maybe that’s a good thing to continue the march back to 2t classes at all levels.

[@MrIh8hondas]

That was awesome. Hot Sauce's bike looked sexy as hell too.

[@russheins6458]

Awesome video, for me they kinda killed the sport whith the switch to four stroke stuff. The sounds of screaming factory 125 machines on a National Championship track like Washougal was simply unreal!!! Not the same experience now

[@dreyn7780]

Wrong. You're the fault. Silent Electric driverless bikes are the future. You didn't legislate.

[@jaredbatchelor3561]

one of my favorite tracks if riden on

[@dreyn7780]

And it was disrespected by these riders. They didn't experience any corner on the track. They just rolled through every corner and started to race when they got to the straight parts. They just THRASHED the track and their bikes.

[@preciousdurant2674]

love to hear that stinging sound and the smell of premix

[@kickerman8]

It's so beautiful

[@brycewalker6110]

Everyone's talking about Pingree and Tedesco killing it, but Carson Brown was so far ahead you couldn't even see him on the GoPro..!

[@robertgandy87]

he is a kid that rides them at local races. plus 17. vs ping that works in a buildfing at racer x. and just does test on 4 strokes for the mag. ping is at least 40 or very very close. or maby over 40. he kept ivan in check. seeing that they never really raced together when they were pro . ivan won 450 mains. or 250 s stroke mains against mcgrath. and ping kept up with him , even was very close at one point. im sure he got tired. but i a happy for u ping

where do u think stank dog would have finished in this race? I'd say 10 sec ahead of carson

[@93Viggen23]

I think he would have won for sure. Carson is super fast. He rides a 125... Most these dudes like Ivan haven't ridden 125's in years. Kids super fast for sure though.

villopoto wasnt good on 2smokers, just ask alessi about it..

that was a long time ago, ME and his group worried to much about other riders instead of just racing the track. Actually I believe ME downfall was his dads big mouth or bad advice

[@johnnybgood4603]

Damn, i wish Bubba was there on that Kx 125

imagine Tomac,Dungy and Roczen battling on 125s ! this sport would blow up like NASCAR. 450s are amazing but boring to watch

[@fieldy25]

pinga still got it

[@andysautounion1]

is it just me but are the 125"s clearing the same stuff as the 450"s ?

[@wasabiemans]

The limit is the frame and suspension not engine most of time

I had a 1987 YZ80 that looked like that

looks like Dave needs to lose a few lbs. that gut'll sneak up on ya. I raced a 125 at 155lbs, now I'm 190. poor 125 can't haul that around.
