Lazy Springs MX: Roughest Track in SW Florida?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 ноя 2018
- Day 3 on the new bike at Lazy Springs MX in Fort Myers, Florida. I swear this track hasn't been groomed in over a month at least, but I love it! Great place for suspension testing which I did a lot of today.
People forget camera's make it look easy af! The track must be really gnarly in real life 😌
Donny Groothedde this is my home track lol it super rough sometimes
@@jazzersl1076 same live 10 mins away
the greatest thing about youtube moto vids are the comments of people with their 1990 yz80 that they cud ride WAYYY rougher tracks with at twice the speed of which the rider in the video is going. like just shut ur faces and enjoy the riding of a man well above ur own skill level
It's awesome to see a rider with such great feeling on the bike. Suspension is always the hardest part of testing but the most beneficial. Not many youtubers can ride as good as well as describe the changes as you do. Keep up the good work!
Sick Riding jeff, Keep on hammering thoose corners like you do! and that speed, goosh! Really fast!
Nice video. Thanks for taking us to these epic spots. Come to europe to see tracks that have not been maintained in a long time.... this looks super flat. 😎
You absolutely shred man. I love your videos.
I just started riding mx bikes and I live right next to there it’s crazy how slow I am compared to you.😂😂
Beautiful bike bro!✨🙇🏼♂️
Nice riding. Track looks fast and rough.
Holy smokes you’re fast. Always so impressive 👍✌️
Watching this make me feel like I've never left first gear before
Very satisfying to watch! Makes me wanna ride again :(
That place looks incredible 😍
I went there 1 week ago it was so fun great vid!
i had armpump just by watching this video,you make it look easy those tipe of sand rollers/bumps kill my arms/hamstrings ...good job dud!!!
Nice pilot, nice ride, best point of view (no joke, I use the same), love that chanel!!
Looks like a dream ride too me.
nice, looks super flowy
I'll try to throw some maaaad schmeezers for you next time, you legend
@@JeffWalker84 love the vids bro keep up the good work
Rough..? You made that shit look smooth as butter brotha!😎🤙 Keep it up
that 450 looks like a peewee 50 on you and you ride so good on it!!
First off...great riding...so fluid! I'm guessing you have "image stabilization" turned on? People will not be able to tell how rough it is with it on...the cameras naturally fatten out terrain anyway but with the stabilization setting on the camera...makes it look deceivingly smooth. I'm just an old super noob but I turned it off so folks could see some of the violence that happens when you ride.
Great video and riding!
That's the track I learned to ride on. It's also the track my bar risers failed on creating whiskey throttle resulting in a torn rotator cuff but if you can ride LAZY you can ride ANYTHING! You know it's a tough SOB when Jeff Walker isn't pinned 1/2 the time. For all of it's faults, in the summer when it's raining every day this place handles the rain and will be open when all others are closed.
one of the best mx channel ever very fast guy
Nice riding man!
Dayum son you can ride! Keep it up ;)
Dude, I got arm pump just watching this. Looks rough AF but fun!
I just got the same goggles two months ago I love them
GoPro needs to hit you up for their promo footage lol what settings are you using as far as ProTune or colors? Definitely subbing. Excellent riding and explanations! Jealous Iowa has winter 😒
Your a beast bro 🔥🔥
Thats crazy your right by me. Im in punta gorda/port Charlotte area. No bike anymore though had to go safer route and got a jetski. Plan on getting another one though.
Dang I live right there too
No big jumps but looks like the most fun track ever
Great riding!
How much do you use your front brake?
Man i just moved next to this track.just got another crf450 few a weeks ago so havent had a chance to ride this track yet.. anyway nice vids need more like em.
Just subscribed, nice vids! ✊🤙
Love all of your content! I was just wondering, how tall are you?
Really appreciate your Videos!
Are u using any griptape on the airbox?
On rougher tracks beeing hard on the throttle, my ass hardly touches the seat.
I always try gripping the bike (yzf 250 2017) with my gaerne sg12 boots but i cant find any good grip on the side plastic covers... and then im fully exausted after like 13 mins full throttle...
Im trying to find any grip tape that doesnt destroy my boots that much.
Would be cool if u could share some experiences.
Greetings from Germany, Nueremberg!
That's gnarly. Thought I recognized your name. I've ridden with you at rtmx. How does motoland compare to this track?
seriously good riding
I’ve been to lazy springs it’s so much fun
This track looks soo gnarly
Dude, you can ride!!! U need to make your way over to Australia one day and race one of the biggest sand races in the country, The HATTAH desert race, you would kill it. by the way, you bike looks and sounds awesome , even on video. Great description on changes made too.
Thanks man! Traveling the world to race dirt bikes has always been the dream. I'd love to head to Australia some day, and if the opportunity ever presents itself, i'll be there in a heart beat for sure!
GoPro hides the bumps like a champ, but it still looks sick 😍
Dang your so fast. What GoPro do you use? And what do you use to edit?
Thanks Carter! It's the new GoPro Hero 7 Black Edition shot in 2.7k, 30fps, superview fov, and with hyper smooth enabled. I just use iMovie for editing.
Jeff Walker I figured, quality is so nice!
Actually wish I was this good but on my 2 smoker
Damn that bike sounds good! Did you come up and race gator back this past week??
I race in the professional outdoor championship during the summers, and pros aren't allowed to race Mini-O's since it's an amateur national. I always loved racing there as an amateur though!
Nothing like this in Wisconsin. Super jealous.
Really awesome stuff Jeff.. looking fast! What mount is that? Where does a person get one like that? Thanks in advance! 😎🤙
It's a custom mount I made using a spare Bell Helmet mouth piece, a standard GoPro flat mount, and some JB Weld. I basically just stuck the mount on the front of the mouth piece using the sticky backing, and then threw some JB Weld to fill in all the gaps where the mount wasn't touching anything. I posted some picture in this thread on VitalMX www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/Honda-CRF450R-Works-Edition-First-Ride-Impressions,1349475
Maybe mount a gopro down low on your fork so all the youtube armchair riders can get ground perspective on how big the bumps are.
Lmao
When Looking at roughness on a GoPro video, you have to look at the movements of the bike, not just the track. Honestly, to me this looks like a standard Scandinavian track, on a week day. Tho, tracks in the us seems to be much flatter then in Europe as standard.
You know how these RUclips watchers who don't leave their house stay inside and have the most to say
@@MLGtroll365 lmfao so true!!!
TrollMaster300 yea, those kind of people got to much air. With my comment, I wasn’t saying it wasn’t rough, I just was just saying that’s standard scandi rough.
Looks like they changed the track I liked that big hill in the back that was fun a shame they got rid of it
Hey Jeff, Great videos brother.
Any recommendation for a 29yo wanting to learn MX riding? Like what are some tips and tricks etc
Zailey get a bike and go ride my friend. Push yourself but know your limits but push past those limits
Dope! ❤️💪🏍

Hey man I have a regular 18 450. How tall are you? I’m having the same front end issue but I don’t have the handlebars that you have if that helps at all. Your videos on this bike have helped me out because the 18 isn’t that different. The constant changes then seeing how it rides immediately is very helpful for me because it’s winter time and I can’t go test settings.
Hey John, glad you're liking the videos and finding them useful! I'm 6'1". I've always hated the Renthal 971 bend bars that came stock on the Hondas (I assume you have these on your bike) and I used to switch those out immediately. Something about that bend really did NOT gel with me and it always felt awkward. My favorite Renthal bend was always the 999 McGrath/Short bend. It's really low, flat, and wide so you get great control and stabilization over the front end. A ton of pros run that bend! Obviously the 2019 range switched things up with the 839 fat bar coming stock, so I decided to give it a try and i'm actually digging them so far! It has very similar specs to the 999 that I love, but they're about 10mm taller and slightly narrower.
Anyways, my first suggestion to anyone who's struggling with front end instability is to make sure your bars aren't rolled too far forward. For reference, I always start with my bars perfectly in line with the angle of the forks and go from there. 99% of the time, I end up rolling them back slightly from there until I find the sweet spot where the front end stops twitching.
Jeff Walker Im also 6’1 and prefer the 999 over any other bar. This was video was super sick by the way! I’m new to your channel and was curious if you’ve had past models of the CRF? I recently sold my 2017 crf and was wondering if the 19 was any better than the 17.
Drop fork height in clamps and drain some oil from forks..night n day on Honda
You ride very well. How tall are you? What Renthal bar mount is is? Ricky High? Just curious, because at ^-foot-2 I have to mod my bike to make me fit on it as well. Thanks for vids! Thay are great!
I'm 6'1" and I'm running the Renthal 839 bend that come stock on the Honda. My usual bar is the ProTaper YZ High bend, I just haven't switched it out yet.
The front end twitch will be interesting to see what works to resolve. I've spoken with yoshimura and they don't recommend baffle removal... HRC bikes run baffles.
Interesting! I'll have to look into it. I can't imagine it makes a huge difference, but i'm sure Yoshimura and HRC know what's best haha. Thanks for the continued support!
My first time riding an MX track was here haha.
Nice video. I was there once about 5 years ago and the track was shorter and the jumps were all eroded. Looks much better now. Have they expanded the trails any?
Electric start dirt bike. Ain't that some shit. Would have loved that on my XR-600 back in the day.
Nice !
Did you have to drop the forks in the triple clamps at all? I just dropped the forks a couple mm's on my 17 and that helped me a lot, you're at a much higher skill level tho
I dropped the forks a few millimeters, but they definitely have room to come down a little more. Solid suggestion man, thanks!
You go through clutch springs in 4 hours ?
Did you hit Florida Track & Trails ?
I live in cape coral and did not know that was there
You are Fast 💪🏻
Jeff, what is your opinion on the KTM Factory Edition 450 vs the Honda CRF 450 "Factory Edition?" Is the quality between the two pretty comparable?
In my opinion, KTM and Honda are not trying to accomplish the same goals with their Factory/Works Editions...KTM uses their Factory Edition to make improvements that they'll use on the next year production bikes such as frame and engine revisions. A standard 2019 will be almost identical to the 2018 Factory Edition which kind of makes it pointless to spend the extra cash on the FE unless you REALLY want those Redbull graphics. There's nothing exclusive on the FE that you can't buy the next year. Don't get me wrong, if you're going to buy the seat cover, clutch cover, and exhaust anyways then it's a great deal! What I like about the Honda Works Edition is that you're getting exclusive parts like the HRC ported head and mapping as well as a custom Yoshimura exhaust that you can't buy on your own. You're also getting the Kashima-coated suspension which you can technically buy, but must be shipped to Germany in order to get done. Honda's WE is a proper race bike whereas KTM's FE is just a blinged-up stock bike.
Damn bro you are tall as hell
What age did you start riding Jeff
Aren’t you from Michigan? I feel like i races with you at Baja acres back in 2013
Nothing like having the track for yourself
Well that's florida for you! Soft sand, lol
It's one of those tracks that make you feel like you can't ride , but it's a good thing
Looks somewhat rought but in SC we have tracks that get ruts up to your brake disc and muddy but i can see that being rough for florida
Most of the tracks in florida are pretty sandy and rough like this. Hard rock in ocala is all hard pack clay from a old quarry but that place is straight dangerous. Rocks the size of baseballs laying everywhere, all blind jumps on clay that's hard as concrete. Tires will actually squeal while braking
Don't you just love riding after a good rain
So how many hours you have on the bike
i live across the street from there 😀👍
Great riding! What camera do you use? And what settings you using?
I'm using a GoPro Hero 7 Black edition. 2.7K, 30fps, with Superview field of view and Hypersmooth stabilization enabled.
nice track
looks like an English track, only ever groomed once :)
Yooo I live there ‼️
Great riding ! Why don't you run a scoop tyre in the sand?
It would be good on a few tracks down here, but some are pretty hard packed and I don't feel like changing tires every time I go to a new track haha. The 33 works pretty well in the sand and on harder surfaces
If you think that is rough you should ride at hardrock mx in ocala florida they barely groom/water it and its litterd with boulders and massive breaking/acceleration bumbs but its a fun track
It’s a decent beginner track. I’ve rode it a few times
Are you in 3rd gear the whole time?
Do you race like the pro nationals and stuff?
Yeah, ive seen him race a few Ama nationals
Yeah I race the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship every summer
It would be appreciated if you could make a video that summarizes the changes and adjustments made to your CRF450r to compare our setup with yours. I do not want to spend for a revalve of my suspensions because I have the impression that the company have not yet tested the 2019 bikes so I think that helping each other between owners would be nice. In addition, Here the season is finished until April because of the winter so I could not test the bike.
Its the steering damping nut...please dont ride without the actual nut tighted all the way. 😁
Good video
Haha thanks Josh. Knew I wasn't using the correct term, but just sent it anyway in hopes that people would get the gist.
Jeff Walker yeah i got the vibe the way you were saying it, and that steering damping makes a big difference having it where you need it to be. Im still learning though lol
You look like a tall guy, im 6' and ride a kx250f. I don't feel "comfortable" on it in a sense of position. Do you think I need bar risers?
It's possible! I'm 6'1" and don't run any risers, but its all about your style and what makes you comfortable. Canard is short and runs really tall bars. Deano is tall with low bars. All about personal preference! I like to get really low and aggressive, so the lower bars suit my style better. But if you have more of a Musquin style (upright and technical) then tall bars are a good route.
@@JeffWalker84 I was at the track yesterday and I felt when I gave it full throttle my wrist was like bent under the grip and when I moved my wrist to a higher angle, I felt like I was on top of the grip and not "in" it if any of that makes sense. I think im going to give the risers a go.
Totally off topic but, That 450 looks small on u what size tires are they or are u just a tall man?😂(Edit)- or maybe it’s just the angle
I'm definitely tall at 6'1", but I think the angle didn't help the cause haha
Jeff Walker lol yeah u look pretty tall, I’m not gonna lie I’m kinda freaking out that you actually replied. I’m a big motocross fan and just to get some actual activity from a GREAT rider is amazing, keep up the good work and remember “Grip it and Rip it!”
What hear rate monitor are you using?
It's a garmin chest strap paired to a garmin forerunner 735xt watch
How is your GoPro mounted?
Just posted a video on how I mount my GoPro and what settings I use on the camera! Check it out on my channel
Are you located in Florida? Where do you normally ride at?
I'm in Fort Myers, so I normally ride Florida Tracks and Trails, 74 Family Fun Park, Florida Cycle Park, and Lazy Springs
Thanks dude nice riding🤙🏽
it's all about corner speed
It looks like your clutch is bandit
what gopro do you use?
Hero 7 Black!
Was waiting for the rough parts of the track?. I rode a lot rougher tracks here in Michigan. This track looked like mourning practice track after it was groomed.
Interested to hear which tracks you're riding? I'm from Michigan (still live there every summer while racing the pro national series) and none are even close to how gnarly this place is. This track is comparable to how rough Glen Helen was this year for the pro national. I'll admit, the GoPro hides the bumps pretty well, but I invite you to come try it for yourself and then let me know how smooth it is lmao
All florida tracks get real rough but this one is known as one of the roughest
You are being decieved by the rider. He is very smooth and the camera is steady but the track looks beat, Let me give you a lap and you can see how rough it is lol!
NateDogMXtv he must have the new gopro 7 black lol😁
Jeff Walker hahaha got eemmmm
Do they rent riding gear ?
I was just there didn’t ride the track but my brother did on his rm65 and he said it’s super bad and he crashes all the time , I mean he isn’t a great rider but still
U racing any supercross
Man u gotta come out to fcp
Uploaded a helmet cam from FCP a few days ago! Check it out ruclips.net/video/LRBWQIIrWbI/видео.html
