    This and other minibike videos of mine got featured on an episode of #DieselBrothers on @Discovery! If you found my channel from that episode... Welcome!

    Dude, that is AWESOME!
    I'm kinda new to the mini bike world, just getting into it with my son. I've been watching videos so that I can teach him how to fix his own machine when it breaks down. I look forward to doing cool stuff like this. Keep on rockin gentleman!!

      Thanks! I did the race again last year. Good build video as well. I’m about to start the series up again leading up to the race this year.

    I like how the guy that towed you didn’t give a damn. People were crashing right behind home and he didn’t care.

  • @victoryfirst2878
    @victoryfirst2878 Před 4 lety

    You guys should of used a Heath-kit Baja bug mini bike. Would be a much smoother ride and a more controlled machine. Also, you do not need high H.P. engine, you just need one that is high torque and 2 stroke for lightweight. I see you guys love the dust and dirt.

    I grew up in the 50s and early 60s with minibikes and go carts , I have ridden Harley Davison's from 1966 to 2008 .and I am now 68 years old still going to tractor supply looking at the Coleman minibike that they sell. I can afford to buy 10 of them but do I dear buy or ride one in my woods or dirt roads??

      Vince Diesel I a.m. 66 Vince, trying to schedule some off road racing this year myself.

    • @xrick76tube
      @xrick76tube Před 5 lety

      I put the header pipe on my Coleman with the K/N style air filter and the bigger jet in the carb then went with the bigger rear sprocket then put a zip tie on the inner governor spring located just under the gas tank for higher revving and put Harley Davidson foot pegs on the bike it’s fast on hills and dirt I got all those parts from go power sports .

  • @warlockrakaul
    @warlockrakaul Před 6 lety

    Did you build the bike yourself and follow-p Q if so, how much? That looks like great amounts of fun.

    • @JasonExplainsThings
      @JasonExplainsThings  Před 6 lety +1

      Hey Joe! We did. I did a video about building the bikes that you can see on my channel. The bikes brand new are $500-$600, and less than that used. I think I put around $150 in parts. Building the bikes was just as fun as riding them. The "Camo Joe" bike is trashed now. It needs new front forks and clutch, and other things. But the entire experience was awesome.

    What type of bikes did the best in the race?

    • @JasonExplainsThings
      @JasonExplainsThings  Před 6 lety +1

      The winners were riding CT200U-EX bikes that had torque converters and such. They came with multiple bikes, welding equipment, etc. Must have a dealership or something.

  • @johnbarner180
    @johnbarner180 Před 5 lety

    Would love to see a tear down and rebuild on that engine that finished. If y'all don't want to, I'll buy that engine for $45.00 & $25.00 shipping, a total of $70.00
    After the air filter incident, I can assure you it will need a complete rebuild, or if you are not into that, a replacement.
    Being associated with Jimmy Rivers, JRPW Racing, I can assure you it will be back on a mini again.
    $70.00 shipped to Georgia, 30907, what ya say guys?

    • @JasonExplainsThings
      @JasonExplainsThings  Před 5 lety

      Lol... not a bad idea. I may do that. I’m going to see if I can get it running. Probably will just do a Predator 212. Stay tuned to the channel for more minibike episodes this spring.
