RACING A PRO NATIONAL ON A STOCK BIKE - Millville National SM12

[@DUBYA-DUBYA]

God bless and keep fighting on that badass stock yz450..

[@OtisFlint]

I would love to see one race / season where all riders have to run a bone stock bike.

[@nickwukmir9853]

There prity close to factory bikes all ready. At this point rider is everything.

[@webrappin3314]

@@nickwukmir9853not true but yeah

[@nillebob2665]

Honestly i think about that For years...i think everyone needs the same Bike....then you really See WHO is the best...✌️

[@JohnDoe-nc5dt]

Dude it works edition bikes were actually factory they would be $100,000. Where tf do you get the idea a common rider has any business on a real race bike.

[@mazza159]

@@nillebob2665 put them all on the same bike/stock bike the results would be pretty similar to now I would bet Jett would still be leading points - rider plays at least 70-80% in this sport

[@Roach838]

I love the Mobile 1 sponsor. The bike looks awesome. I hope we start seeing more outside sponsers 🙏🏻

[@Kawiboy]

[@Realhighlife]

[@wayneboyd2682]

That was an excellent performance! I hope you leave the bike stock and say more about the bike in future videos. It's amazing that you had such a great race in your first ride in a while. Look forward to seeing you at Washougal and then seeing the follow up video.

[@twincam88br]

11th out of nowhere is phenomenal. 2nd moto reminded you that it's Racing

[@discipleintheword]

Very inspiring video! Go get em this week. You got this!

[@randymeredith3048]

Praise God brother! Let it rip!!!

[@lindellsiler5994]

Thanks for not being a prima donna and showing up for the love of the sport. God Bless you and yours Brother.

[@ShaneMcelrath12]

Thank you sir 👊🏻

[@arniesun4437]

Love to see it! Sorry about the 2nd moto. That track looked epic this year. Alex and Jeremy must've been involved aha

[@Brian23471-o]

I swear your helmet paint job is so familiar to my TLD helmet paint job is crazy. Its like the same color scheme. May the lord be on your shoulders

[@dougderby9454]

Stock bike. Scores points. That’s Bitchin. Keep it up.

[@HillBilly1905]

You started 5th on a bone stock 450. That’s awesome and great video

[@zardportugal]

Moto1 SM12 was on the money. Great video. Cheers.

[@JacobSnover]

McElrath out here showing people, YES it is your technique and not your bike!

[@juanjosepauta1154]

Well done Shane ✊✊✊✊✊🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jasonboche]

Great ride and video!

[@Brian23471-o]

Dude! You made it out there. So pumped.

[@rowantrefz8906]

Good stuff, Shane!

[@skinnyboy400]

Shane are you considering enter the 2 stroke challenge for the next outdoor race? Good money on the line!

[@jamieayers-cg7py]

Are you racing Unadilla ?

[@VonSutho]

Great job and the stock bike idea, forced or no, it is a great concept for getting fans, as is the vlog. I would like to hear a bit about the Mobil 1 connection, family connections, great marketing skills? Chat about the difference between the stock parts and factory without running down the OEM I am sure would prove popular as well, with fans and OEM alike. Some good vloggers not in motocross are Billy Bolt and Matt Green from hard enduro in Europe and maybe that will help with sponsor profile awareness, which in turn will help you in the long run? Cheers

[@ShaneMcelrath12]

I appreciate the kind words and encouragement!

[@samwilson3633]

Such a sick edit. And solid ride on a stock bike. Youll be back keep that head up

[@gusschillig855]

Remember seeing you ride at the wnc ag center cheering you on forever

[@Brian23471-o]

Your set up with the white bike and zoneal gear is si k!!

[@adamkaschalk1882]

Good luck at washougal. Holeshot!!!

[@HP-hm3pn]

Great job in moto 1! Don't trust those stock wheels for long. Colin at FasterUSA can explain....

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

good stuff... i love your story .. i subscribed to help you!!!!

[@ShaneMcelrath12]

Thanks!

[@brianloeffler2245]

Best of luck to you Shane I hope nothing but the best for you. God Bless Bro !!

[@showtime287]

Yeah, Shane!

[@thomashoglund3472]

How big different is it between a stock and KYB a cit? Is it 2-3 seconds per lap?

[@mxriderdakar]

Bike of the year, periode. 😊

[@wtwoffroad]

Will never forget when i beat my dad to the gate early at the 2013 southeast llaq at ncmp and you swept my gate for me lol. Ripping ✊🏼

[@BERZERKERSV4]

Unfortunately from a television viewership perspective, more people will tune out if it’s another Lawrence Brothers Show…Fortunately the camera crews so the battles taking place behind … I think we are all rooting for the little guys… SM and TM…

[@straighttimestirrups]

The biggest thing the production crews could do for the sport is to spotlight 3-5 privateers at each round.

[@LarsvanBerkel]

Always good Shane boy

[@lmtada]

Be like Hannah. Win race. Auction it off at trophy presentation. Next race. New bike. 🏁

[@ballou1777]

Did he use spec tires and race fuel?

[@ALDAVISON231]

Great Ride! God bless!

[@petertothRC-FPV]

Nice work 🤜💥👍Just be in the fight stay upright

[@scottburgle4889]

If I recall correctly….Shane Watts did this with KTM motorcycles in the early 2000’s. He won many national races on a bone stock bike….many times he wouldn’t even wash the bike prior to racing!

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

Congrats Shane what a great ride, from listening to this video it sounds like the privateer is doing ok in payback money? I see the promoters making all kinds of money so I'm going to assume it is trickling down. (The riders are the show!) They charged a parking fee for each day this year, a fence fee charge to save my spot, crazy camping charges even if I'm in a tent and I am assuming that there will be a pit bike / golf cart charge next year...you just watch. If the riders are getting their fair share I'm all in, if not it is sad and the riders need to band together and get their piece of the pie!

Well done mate

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

What's up with the AMA not giving the TWO STROKES to have a fair and equal chance in both 450 and 250 classes ? 300cc to 500CC BIG bores in the 450's and of course 250 two strokes running in the 250 class ! BAAHRAAAP 💪😎🤙

Thats awesome

[@EVIILASEVIILAS]

McElrath wonders why he isn't picked up by a decent Team. Obviously his results are so bad in US Supercross and Outdoors but McElrath is a creepy looking guy who finds it hard to put a sentence together.

[@matjj676]

11th on a stock bike (that he has minimal time on) is a bad result? Looks like you're just here to make personal attacks and stir the pot.

Great ride Shane! AMAZING results on a stock machine. You're the man.

[@MMACHMP]

Would be cool to see Shane run a YZ250 2 stroke at washougal and win that $25,000 cash for top placing 2 stroke.

[@JoseLeon-fh1qd]

They should have a stock category at the nationals
