That is an amazing video!

Some great footage of jumping two-strokes... you left some pinger sounds in there so folks can hear that sweet noise.

Did you ask why the switch to the four-stroke? Or any questions about FMX riders using them?

Not that I would expect them to say it while on camera, but just curious if it was brought up.

Thanks!

Thank You!

Jeremy, along with Nate Adams used to get bikes from Yamaha. When Yamaha didnt offer them free bikes, Nate went out and bought his own YZ250's, while Jeremy hooked up Kawasaki's through his agent (who happens to be Ryan Villopoto's agent as well) so thats why he's on the 4-stroke now.  His 450 is dialed in with factory Kawasaki parts and ignition mapping though, and he told me he doesnt miss his 2-stroke.  Sucks because I liked him on the YZ250.   

At least it's still Robbie Maddison's ride though... and man did his YZ sound good that day, running a high compression head, race gas, and jetted... it sounded razor sharp as you can probably tell a bit from the video when he's doing those big turn back whips.

Would be awesome to see someone do freestyle on a new Maico.  Would be even more radical to see someone do it on a 80s Maico 490!


Modest beginings start with a single blow of a horn, man.

That wouldnt suprise me, i've never done a backflip and never will, but i've tried my heart out to do a good whip and i know it is not easy, especially whipping it like some of those guys do.
