What is Christian Craig Looking For on His Husqvarna FC 450? | Racer X Films

We break down one of the smoothest/silkiest rider's bikes with a seemingly seven foot tall mechanic in Jared Warrick. Keefer and Warrick walk you through Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's Christian Craig's machine. We shot this at A2, but according to Christian, we need to update this video later this year as he now has changed his spec! Look for part two soon!
Note: this video was filmed on press day before the Anaheim 2 Supercross.

Love these segments with Keefer. Keep them comming

[@ropedb]

He's looking for the color blue with some kind of star

[@stangbanger6445]

Hahahaha!! Best comment! Truth

[@robertortiz3755]

He’s one of my favorite riders, I think if he’d stayed with Yamaha it would’ve been different right now, meaning more upfront finishes if not podiums

Husq-var-na three syllables. Not sure where the four syllable version Husq-uh-var-na comes from?

[@goldmx1229]

Getting arm pump while dressing 😂😂

[@rumblebudgie2085]

Hey Kris, what is a Husq'A'varna? It's pronounced hʉ̂ːsˌkvɑːɳa. 3 syllables, not 4.

[@Frontporchsittin]

Get back on a blue bike. Problem solved.

[@georgecarmel6114]

I think for people getting burnt out on riding moto bikes for racing, an electric bike might be the way to go for a playbike. Easy for riding track and trail.

[@CaptainKarma8]

Old Huskys were better

[@IvarEriksson83]

Its about time the grown man is racing other men. Now that he is racing other men you see his qualities as a rider.

[@mullaway5746]

U have no clue what your talking about

[@rollforeverderbs]

Comfort

[@chrisellerton1199]

Good rider,but not topline no shame in that!

[@deyton2123]

When I was watching him in Houston his cornering was bad no where close to him on the yz

[@forevr2wheels]

Why aren’t any of the ktm gas gas husky guys ride 350 in supercross?

[@jasonstryjski3533]

Just a disadvantage on the start and having to seat bounce out of a turn, etc…

[@IvarEriksson83]

I agree Christian can’t handle a man’s bike. Better put him on a boys bike and let him cruise around on a 125cc 2 stroke or the 350 getting 10th-20th place.

[@forevr2wheels]

@@IvarEriksson83 I think some riders would be faster on a 350. They can produce some power. They don’t need 450s on an sx track

[@mullaway5746]

@@IvarEriksson83 what a stupid comment 😂😂

[@IvarEriksson83]

@@forevr2wheels that’s why I said put him on a boys bike. A 350 is making as much horsepower as kickstart kenny stock RM450. Christian might even be faster on a 250. A 450 just has to much power for a rider with his qualities.

[@matthewmuellner]

Chain looks very loose Go christian!

[@lizzydog5728]

Christians problem is his mind! Period! His thoughts are running him ragged? It happens to most people? Mindful meditation = calm fast rider!

[@ronaldtravis970]

He should have just stood on 250s , but what ever . Nice knowing ya 👋

[@kYnTso]

According to the vlogs he is having a mental battle every event. Obviously he aint racing kids anymore and the bike aint a YZ either. He can put together a top 10 lap time in qualifying but when it comes to the race he somehow ends up in the back after the start or manages to go down atleast once. I can see him getting into the top 10 at some races but he has no business on the podium. Overall getting some depressing vibes from his vlogs.

[@DC-oj6xg]

Imma need his girl tho. She can stay with me…

[@chasecarter2803]

A Yamaha

[@DC-oj6xg]

🤦‍♂️ he needs to go back to 250

[@CR250rSMITH]

he did decent in 450 outdoors
