  • What's better than the sound and smell of a 2-Stroke? Hearing and smelling Chad Reed's '04 Championship Bike during the opening ceremonies of St Louis Supercross!! Chad ended up spinning several laps around The Dome at America's Center, and led all of the modern bikes with his old-school premix machine!!
    Thanks to @kardyphoto for the thumbnail shot!

      I thought so too, I love carbon fiber stuff. But the white plastic around the eye opening? Big, cheap and robotic looking. I would rather just have good rubber edge molding, like Bell helmets of 1979. You will be cleaning that white plastic more than your goggle lenses, and it makes a great helmet look cheap to me.

We didn't even realize it was a triple crown until we were almost there. Then to top it off got to see Chad Reed live! AWESOME day for me and my boys. Watching Reed ride was what got me into watching Supercross so many years ago. My first favorite rider. Still a fan! So is my wife. She was bummed she didn't go. Can't wait for next year! Was 30 feet from where Wilson crashed. That injury was nasty! Could see the blood running down his pant. The look on the Alpine Medical teams faces said it all. Glad he's doing better. Awesome video!

    • @EarthSurferUSA
      @EarthSurferUSA Před 2 lety +1

      To ride a 2-stroke fast, you almost always keep a finger on the clutch and front brake levers. Stop it at 5:17. Yes, he used the clutch, and I can tell he is a bit out of practice with it. But these tracks don't need the best corner speed anymore, and he let it bog just a bit and just touched the clutch to make the jump. I don't have to see it, (can't see his clutch finger after 5:17). I can hear it.
