Brilliant line choice and a nice little I'm the man pass at the end.

That was a sweet vid. But damn, racing nowadays is "how to take him out" rather than "skill to get around him."

Kids today need to race flat track. They'll learn real quick not to hit he guy next to you.

He was not taking anyone out. The guys getting passed knew they could not hold him off and tried to block. OK for the last turn before the checkered but BS fags for the rest of the race. Excellent video. I am finally getting my 125 in a week and wish I could ride it pinned like this guy. Notice how he makes up big ground entering turns. Nice.

I guess I'm just old. One of the best examples of this is the Carmichael Vid in this forum. Windham & those boys never got physical in passing. But I've been racing since the 70's and I see the change.

I wasn't defending the blocking. I watched it again and everytime he was going for a pass the other rider would block rather than race. I wonder if this is due to the four strokes. Seems like Nascar. I looked up the rider and he is an expert who qualified for a National. These weren't C or B riders.

What I thought I was watching was a 125 that was comfy on any line a d the f bikes  being restricted to just one. And yes the was block passing going on all the time.

there is a big difference between a block pass and blocking to try and not get passed. a clean block pass with little or no contact is legit to me. what these guys is BS. I think all the 250 guys were embarrassed to get passed by a 125 and would do anything to keep him from getting by. Great video. Great 125 rider.

we vets perfer no contact, but for as long as i've been racing the 125 amatuer and pro classes have been ruthless. shoot even the nesc 50+ class act like 125 amatuers. if there is a problem pay them out either on the track or in the pits.

What I liked the most is he was on the gas 1/3 going Into the turn. The 4T's weren't on the gas until they were almost all the way through.
