These factory bike analysis videos are AWESOME!
What a beautiful bike! Hats off to the mechanic 👍🏻
Love Craig and think he is a great ambassador for our sport. Poor guy just had it rough last two years and I know he has the speed he just needs to find his confidence again. Win or lose he’s still one of my favorite riders!
When you keep going to bad drs you don't get cured. It's crazy people haven't figured out that when you are cured you aren't profitable anymore. The health care industry in our country are crooks. They don't want a healthy America, healthy Americans don't have medical bills. Look at every mx rider that has had surgery and then how many have complications. Yea it's insane.
Its Jared!! We rode together back in the Wellington days! Good times.
Always the best looking bikes!
☆ Rockstar ☆
His mechanic does an awesome job 👍
Really good interview👍
You're the best at this, great Job KK
Best lookin' bike ever!
Very good questions !
Lots of good info
Sweet bike love the white husky’s
Awesome bike
Dude Kris keefer is hilarious 😂😂
Its crazy how quickly the so called fans will turn on a rider in this sport because they have not lived up to expectations. Yet most of these "fans" could never do what Christian accomplished in life.
If you took all of his accomplishments away, society wouldn't even miss a beat. Racing motorcycles or being a professional athlete has nothing to do with one's importance to society. A garbage man is more important to society than any athlete or sport
@minibikemafiadowdy does construction craig did construction until he realized he had un finished business and something to prove to himself. 99 percent of these guys could 100 percent do a regular job. These guys get up at the ass crack of dawn stretch work out train work out again. They put in more hours a week training for there job than most 9-5 guys
@minibikemafia Cold hard facts
@@denniswilder3014 Okay, Dowd is one. What does he do, grading? Craig was a framer, an easy job. Bagget builds steel buildings for his dad's company, the owner's son. Dungey didn't go pour concrete for his Dad and Grandpa when he retired. Reed didn't want to be a concreter, either. Over 99% of these guys don't do that kind of work when they retire or quit racing. And they don't come from working construction to racing. I get up a couple hours before dawn, and I go home when the work is done, not when my training session ends or when I'm tired. I work when I'm sick and hurt. They train 25-30 hours a week, about what I put in in overtime. You sound like someone who's never pumped or poured concrete, raked or shoveled asphalt, built any pipelines, worked in the oil patch, or done construction at all. 100% of construction guys would trade jobs with them in a heartbeat, and 0% of professional racers would trade jobs with us. We keep society functioning so they can go race for a living, and there's a tremendous difference in the work ethic required to do that for 30 or 40 years compared to the ten years that pro racers race. Their value to society and their workload are greatly overstated.
@@jakerivets2249 im 50 framed houses for 10 years and in between i own a boat and jet ski repair shop. So do your math these guys train 30 hours a week then have to fly out the day before do a 3 hours worth of riding at a average heart rate of 190 bpm. Then work a 12 hour shift on Saturday and then fly home that night or the next morning and loose a day in the process. Boo hoo you work sun up till sun down. Willing to bet your some broom pusher. Usually people that have to announce they work long hours dont actually do it. There are what 30 top level elite riders in the world and retirement is what 30.and why would they want to work when most have made enough money or make a living on a dirt bike. There is a reason only a certain few riders get there shot if it was easy more would do it.
Thats how the the 25,5 Factory Edition gonna look like. The stock 25 Husky looks 25 years old.
Crazy... no one knew what a Christian Craig's bike looks like considering he's never on the track anymore
No kidding, I feel like he's only raced a few rounds since he started with them.
Bike looks sic..
are the lower tubes coated dlc or ti nitrite or what is going on there looks bronze
Ktm/husq/gas gas group typically doesn’t use any lower fork coatings because they don’t believe it makes a difference. Can’t tell exactly what’s going on from this video.
Christian Craig still races?
How about we get a detailed breakdown of Christian’s other ride
Now that's something worthy of breaking down.
Only 1 min in so first one may be answered, but 2 questions. He likes it soft and broken in well, why aren’t they running the new FE frame when customers own and are riding them!? 2nd sorry Christian I like him, he’s a proper class act, but why do they still give him a factory ride?
This bike needs a rider to ride that thing
Craigs hasnt got a top 5 on the husky in 2 years being with them
why is it that tall guys are not great at racing dirt bikes? Can someone explain it to me mechanically?
Loves a soft and comfy bike. Explains why his results have sucked on a steel frame!
Dudes accomplished loads and is now just turning up for the cheque that’s why. Also Steel frame is suppose to be soft and have flex, which ktm missed the mark but the new frame they have the option to run but aren’t?
@@E63s_Scott Guys a racer he doesn’t turn up for the check, he is a 250 west champion. the steel frame is notorious for being bad on hardpack because it’s so stiff, hence why it works so well in sand, it’s stiffer = less absorption from the ground.
It takes a man to race a race bike fast.
Man what happened to Christian, he went from stud to dud, I know he got hurt but I don't understand how a guy can be a 5th-8th place guy one year then a mid packer the next year, getting stomped by privateer's, unless he's still injured?
he went from star to husky, aluminum to steel, spring to air fork
it really sucks seeing his career be at the highest to the lowest
Overated
Maybe they de-tuned it a little TOO much… 👀
This ride should have been given to Blake Baggett not this joker
Yeah, give the factory ride to a guy who didn't ride for multiple years, let alone race at the highest level for multiple years. Makes sense.
@@MichaelAMyers1957better than continuing to cling onto hope with Craig doing pretty much the same thing. Maybe if someone actually paid the fucker and gave him a shot, like it was hinted at a few months ago, we might have been witnessing what we should have seen out of Baggett 3 years ago before getting completely shafted by Butler. He was a stronger rider than both Husky boys outdoors.
Maybe they have been keeping the bike detuned this whole season.
Cristian 👎
Mid pack factory rider,,,money well spent
