- 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!

@3:19 oh my god, that two stroke stadium echo brings back so many memories
2 stroke in the stadium 🏟
The Sound of Heaven on Earth 🤙
God that bike sounds awesome echoing through the stadium! Chad giving the people what they want! Him back on the Yamaha on the SX track! Brought back good memories and I'm sure great ones for you too, Chad an Ellie! Glad you landed that sketchy one!
Indeed! I would pay A LOT to see a race with all the old giants like McGrath, Carmichael, Reed, Travis Pastrana together. I hope someone can make this happen. And OF COURSE they need to race their old bikes too!
I would rather see adds for Race Tech, FMF, Pro Circuit, etc. Not YT crap that will cut chad off mid sentence. Support what is left of our free market in this industry, not YT state run commie crap.
I miss that sound!!
@@JeffJackson86 me too
15:15 brought a slight tear to my eye, the icon that got me into this sport, hitting a supercross finish on a two stroke one last time and celebrating... great to see one last time
Man hearing the echo of that 2-stroke gave me goosebumps. So glad I grew up in the 2-stroke era.
Nothing beats the sound and the smell of a 2 stroke. Well maybe 20, 2 strokes!
LOVE THAT ECHO! You reminded us of how much FUN it used to be watching these 2-strokes indoors. That wonderful smell of small engine oil, and that thunderous echo of almost 2 dozen bikes all throttling at once! Pace did awesome.
Greatest smell! The smell of my childhood. Definitely brings back some great memories.
@@markrosenquist8259 Remember that they still sell brand new 2022 125, 250 and 500cc 2-stroke dirt bikes💚👍
THEY SHOULD HAVE A 125 AND 250 CLASS. THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORY IN THE 2 STROKES. IT HONESTLY JUST SOUNDS LIKE HOME.
You don't understand the force of the EPA. "They" will not do it. "They" don't think this sport is needed or "essential". It is up to "We the people" to save what we built, but "we" don't understand what is causing the decline.
it would be great to see a 2 stroke only class

@@EarthSurferUSA but dudes can floor their chipped out diesels.. okay
The one handed whip over the finish is the same one handed whip for 04. That’s awesome!
I was cheering for Reed when he was battling with Stewart in ‘09 for the SX title. He’s a freaking awesome human being. A true champion not in just motocross, but life. It’s athletes like him, is why I love this sport so much.
Nothing beats the sound of a two stroke on the pipe. It just gives you chills.
That Pro Circuit sound over the whoops is mesmerizing! Nothing like a good old 2-smoke!
they still making them and I'm so glad yamaha was one of the only 2 big brands still making it love my yz
@@linkinpiatak6669 Same thing I said, they still make brand new 125, 250 and 500cc 2-stroke dirt bikes. Just wish KX and CR still did💚👍
@@danbosman2246 who makes the 500 cc?
@@linkinpiatak6669 Service Honda and Kawasaki 💚👍 make brand new 2- strokes, 125cc , 250cc and 500cc👍 I'd love to show you a KX500 2-stroke in a KX450 frame, but can't send pics on CZcams
The champ on a 2 stroke, brings back some awsome memories!!!! Thank you for thise 2 laps Champ!!!!!!!
crazy at 30 years old i can remember seeing you killing it when i was your kids age, brings a little tear to my eye seeing you out there sending it. im sure as cool as it had to be for eli riding beside you, you had to feel the exact same way riding beside eli. two of the coolest guys in the sport! love to see you send an outdoor or even a1 next year.
Sal !!!!!!!!!!!! Dude 1st Phorm and The Frisella Brothers are LEGIT ! Everyone in the country needs to hear Andy and REAL AF podcast !!!
REEDY looking good and still ripping it up. Glad to hear the 2-stroke sounds awesome. I miss those days.
Literally got the chills hearing and seeing you ride in the stadium on a 2 stroke. By far one of the coolest things. Wish I was there to witness it.
That gave me chills. Was so awesome to see you rippin the supercross track again. Nac nacs and one handed wips.
Just like you never left. Good job homie Everyone needed that ✊️🤙
This is hands down the greatest video ever! The amount of emotions I felt getting to see a childhood hero back out there on the two stroke and hear the echo was overpowering!
...That blue machine still sounds like pure magic...💙💙
This is the nostalgia I needed
That was hands down one of the best videos of chad ever!! I loved the finish line it looked so much like y’all’s closing of him winning back in the day so awsome!!!🤘🏽💯
thats so badass that Chad Reed jets his own 2 stroke
oh man literal chills hearing a two stroke on the whoops!
Cha d and his wife are super nice.My son had to have his attention to show the sign he made for him at Washougal mx.Actually the only kid with a sign that day.After all the signing and hoopla was way over,Chad and his wife came out to give my son a moment, I never forget that.Thank you Reeds.
Hairs on my arms and neck were standing on end watching CR22 riding through the woops....very emotional moment .... awesome
That 22 YZ pounding the whoops was such a cool flash back
"Here comes the up and coming young Chad Reed, he will be one to keep on an eye on"
Is what I heard at the Brisbane Entertainment Center in the late 1990's... and I have "kept my eye on him" ever since.
And even more awesome to see him with his kids at this age, stage of his life too.
that perfect 2 stroke sound thank you Chad
So cool! I didn't realize that you hot-lapped it with Tomac. It's gotta be pretty surreal out there on that 04'! Even crazier to think that when you were killing it in the 04' Supercross season, Eli was only 11 years old! LOL
Holy shit that sound is so crisp clear.
One of the cleanest looking factory bikes everrr! That thing is ripping...
That's what motocross and supercross are supposed to sound like.
That bike sounds amazing 2STROKES RULE
The Echo!!!! F’ing amazing!!! Thanks Chad!!
Just the sound alone gives me chills reminds me of my childhood watching him tear it up
Ooo straight goosebumps when he started echoing in the stadium !
Man he pretty much flatlanded off the huge table top jump when he was having throttle problems......and barely a wobble. Chad's racing was always exciting to watch as he always seemed to give 100% to win.
Luv hearing the YZ 250 2-stroke echoing through the stadium for the pre-race !! Your Awesome Chad Reed ! Your a Awesome Dad and husband ! Always a world- class Rider !!
Thanks for being the Good in this world !!! 👍👍😎
Glad you saved it and didn't get hurt. It made for some awesome footage though.
They gave you the flame treatment there to. Must have felt pretty good.
Chads helmet was sick!!!
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.
Been a supercross fan for 30 years. Finally made it to my first race. Was amazing to watch this live and just imagine the sound and smell of 22 of these things ripping like my childhood.
Such a great event! The smell of racing fuel and dirt! We were right behind the guys who run the spider cam. Right above the third to last whoop! 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!
🔥right on cr, just awesome to see you out there shredding dirt on that bike. As a kid all I remember were the 250 smoker days.. you really look solid on that bike, like you never even parked it🔥👊🔥🏍🏍🏍 so cool man love it all
Chills n tears of joy
Seeing the bike in person and hearing it in the stadium was what made my first supercross experience the best. Thank you for that experience chad!
How cool was that thank you Chad Reed awesome 22 family braaap 🏁👍👏
That was an awesome experience for Pace!!! And loved hearing the
2-stroke!!!!
Go Chad , Gooooo!!! If you love it,DO it !!!
Listen to your old man , kids. He is a true champion.
You know that steel frame flexed in all the right places. Before you flat landed, those reeds were singing. You landed with just enough wheel speed to keep you going forward, from a 22-foot fall.
Man this was awesome love that YZ 250. Brings back great memories. Chad Reed was awesome.
Scary moment with the throttle. A mortal man would have panic and faceplanted. For Chad, probably scary but his natural instinct trying to correct the bike and himself and actually ride it out, technique of a champion.
And what is there to say? Two stroke’s factory tuned it simply cant get much better. #22
Wow best thing I've watched in ages. You rock Chad
The last clip of Chad on the smoker was wild.
Still has pro speed on a 2t
That slow mo over the finish gave me the chills so awesome to see that 2 stroke rip!!!!
😍😍😍 The sound of a lone 2 stroke in the stadium 😎😎👍👊 Really hope he has a crack at one more SX at 40, that short interview sounds like the fire is burning bright to do it.
I feel like we need chad, Ricky and bubba doing pre sx demo's together!
Had a throttle stay open a couples of times. Really scares you at the time and trusting it wont happen again. I've just restored a YZ 250 1989 and a face lift to my YZ250F 2003. I'm an old chap and do vintage mx (Aus) now and then. My brother pointed out my race number, 103. I think that number was Chad's number when to he first went to SX. Cheers.
MAN. This was awesome! We need James back out riding a little too!
How refreshing to hear an MX bike
Goosebumps! Love the two smoke blasting through the track! So awesome love this vlog and everything about it. So cool you guys showing the Frisella family around the race scene
This shows the importance of a true Patriarch. Props Chad your a G
So rad. Its like going down memory lane. This is why the duece duece will always be one of the greatest of all time!
Watching chad reed on a 2 stroke is like watching bob hurricane hannah in his prime !!!
Man that first run when the stadium was empty sounded sweeeeeet.
I wish we still had a 2 stroke class..... Always appreciate you stopping by my Channel and thanks for the SUB. I'm making some longer videos for background music for the holidays. Just look for "FOCUS" music on the thumbnail.... the last one is set to Piano
so cool to see a guy like this talk shop with his kids
My favorite Chad Reed quote: "I hate being told what to do. I absolutely despise it."
That is actually the great American spirit we used to have. :)
hell yeah it's good to see Chad Reed againhe's one of the all-time greats is one of my favorites
Grew up watching the champ decimate riders. Seeing him old n grey with his boys passing down the knowledge. Nothing better. Apologies for the Old and grey reference Mr Reed 🙌
The hardest part of the track for most current pro riders. Is not even an issue with you Chad. Nice job. Not to froggy pal.
The TwoTwo hasn’t skipped a beat! I miss watching Reed throwing a leg over the bike. ✌️✌️
This was so amazing. Loved it so much. Thank you chad reed22
That was insane when the throttle stuck, but as usual you had it under control, love seeing you back on the track on a smoker! 👏
So awesome. Love seeing Ricky’s reaction when Chad walked in the booth. All the guys from that era seem so stoked to see each other which is just so cool to see. Great vid guys, they get better every time!
They need to bring the 2-smokes back in their own class man. That’s the sound I remember when I was 6-8 years old on the stadium
Crazy how when I was in highschool I disliked him so much and now he's one of my favorite people. Amazing Career CR22! How awesome it would have been to see you take another lap.
Hot laps were sick!! 🔥🔥🧨🧨
Still got it Chad absolute legend ❤
Just when you think Chad couldn't be any more badass.
Hell yeah bro bring back the 2 strokes!!!
I’m glad I was there to see it!!
Thank you for this one Reedy!!
Simply awesome! That had to feel good hearing that crowd cheering.
Chad is the man.since first meeting him back at broome tioga in the early 2000s and then when I'd see him every yr at broome or unadilla he always remembered me and showed my respect. Dude is a class act and a legend .this gave me goosebumps
Gotta love the sound of a Pro Circuit
Love that 2 stoke hell yes
one word MAGIC!!!
Such a mix of feelings! I remember Chad when he raced the lites class and then moving up, raced Ricky and then James, those times where awesome!!! I don’t think those battles exist now! That was pure heart racing.. I gotta say I was not a fan of Chad at that time but I’m a huge fan of the sport and what they did for the sport is huge! Massive respect for the thunder from down under! Btw we are the same age! 1 day older than me 😅
That throttle stick was like riding off a two story building flat lander.
Glad it turned out ok.
So awesome to bring out the old smoker and show today's kids what supercross is all about. I can't believe more past champs don't do this.
Gave me goosebumps.. love it
Awesome vid. Chad is such a good dad. 👍
Awesome to see you back out there
Love the video and bringing the high revving 2 stroke 250 back flying !! 🤙🏻
What a legend, he still looks like he could compete! And what about the the sound of the 2 stroke in the empty stadium!!! Wow 😳 Also can someone tell me if he clutches or not coming out of the turn right at 5:20 cheers 🫡
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.
EarthSurferUSA Cheers mate, that’s exactly what I thought 👍🏻
Insane. Watch the this was a blast. Seeing chad around rubbing shoulders with ian, mitch plus the rider's was heart warming
Thankyou Ellie and chad for this... I relived so many memories of my own racing and watching sx/mx thankyou so much
Very cool love seeing and hearing the two stroke in the woops. It brought me back to 04
