Fresh Dirt
We’ve got another solid mix of content for all you dirt junkies, so kick back and enjoy. We’ll call this one bi-weekly semi-fresh dirt since someone napped on it last week.
From stopping for a brew in the middle of a championship race, to breaking world records sideways. . . We’ve got double this week so get your dirty fill on this!
The Wall Of Death is Still Alive.
Guy Martin, one of the top road racers in the world, breaks the world speed record on the biggest wall of death ever made, with G-forces of around 6x his body weight at the time of record-break whilst going 78 MPH.
Is Something Detonating Here?
Jarryd McNeil’s 1979 Yamaha YZ250 is an antique, and old. . . But unlike your iPhone 4S, FAR from obsolete. The guys at Vurbmoto got the sights and the sounds.
Dad of the Year?
This offroad dad becomes a high-tech simulator for his young daughter and, well just see for yourself because it is pretty rad, and I’m sure if you have kids you are going to want to try this one yourself when you get home.
This sport of ours has come a long way and still isn’t as popular as it should be.
Shown below, In the 1988 Moto GP, Hakan Carlqvist pulls over for what at first seems to be him breaking down. However, what he’s actually doing is getting a quick brew. . . Which is totally normal and common in a Professional motocross race. Champions like this are what makes this sports’ society so interesting, and fun to be a part of. Enjoy.
UPDATE: The Impressions of a 2016 KTM SX-F Factory Edition
Last week we gave a sneak peek of what we were testing, and now we’ve got a quick article on it before we roll out an in-depth test. If looks could win. . .
Backward Nose Wheelie?
Phil Smage is more than a goofball on a dirt bike. Not only does he have a goat and a pretty funny instagram account he does things his own way. About the nose wheelie he said, “Ever since I saw @danny_macaskill do a backwards nosewheelie on his bicycle I dreamt of learning it on my Moto bike. I finally gave it a go and ended up crashing, a lot. I still have a long ways to go but I didn’t give up after the beating I took this day, so I’m not giving up now.”
Did you get duped on April Fools Day? If not, Honda is making a three stroke motor.
But they are only going to use it for lawn mowers and weed wackers according to sources.
