@@DesTroy818 the thumb throttle is not common but obviously works for you. I’m curious why you use it? Did you grow up on quads? Do you think that it helps throttle control better? I’ve never rode quads exempt just playing around so just curious if you don’t mind my asking.
Also curious. What gear are hitting the step up? I’ll jump the step down in the back straight a couple turns before the step up, but mostly worried about over jumping or underjumping the step up. I hit the backside step down in 4th but not hammering hard cause I’ve over jumped that too to flat landing. I’m old so being careful 😂.
I didn’t actually grow up racing quads, but I was always around them because my dad raced them. When I started riding again back in 2016 I decided to try the thumb throttle and just really liked it. Helps me feel more connected to the bike and focus on riding the bike with my legs. And on my 450 I do the whole track in 3rd gear. On the two stroke I’m shifting to forth in the back section and before the step up. But I’m coming up to it fast enough that I’m letting off pretty early. I can easily jump it 3rd gear on either bike. It looks intimidating but its a super easy jump once you go over it.
@@DesTroy818 cool story on the thumb throttle. I’m getting over the step up next time. My very first lap ever on that track I was just trying to get over the middle jump and landed hard into the 3rd one, so I know it doesn’t take much. I’ve also seen someone land at the bottom with bad results. My daughter tells me to not be a puss and send it. 😂
When you ride a 2 stroke keep your middle finger on the clutch lever at all times and use it to pull in and feather those turns. You will be a lot smoother and faster through your corners and will be able to keep rpm's up
You have inspired me to get yz250. I have in fact got Yz250. Thanks, love your riding
That’s awesome man! Glad to hear!
@@DesTroy818yo can you do a video with like a whole view of your bike I wanna maybe try and make a graphics kit based on your bike.
@motox69696 you can add me on Instagram and I’ll send you a picture of it, I don’t have that bike anymore! troyknight818
Dude. That triple after the booter. ❤️
That one is fun!
And do you have a quad throttle on that bike?
Wtf i was looking at 😂😂

@robertwaynereoo3636 thanks man!!

@@DesTroy818 my thumb would be purple by the end of my sessions if i had a four wheeler throttle 😂
Hey Bud, did you switch to the Yamaha YZ250 or do you have both now KX 450 ?...Nice video by the way .
Thank you! And yes, I have both Yz250 and Kx450.
Thumb throttle hitting different
Squid status lol
I wonder if that is the intermediate track?
This was the main track, but is no longer there. They took it out to build a couple supercross tracks
The brakes...nice riding
Thanks man! And I know, brand new EBC pads, not a fan at all. Squeak squeak
When was this? I was out there Sunday the 24th.
This was October 16th, and yes sir it’s a thumb throttle lol

Thanks for the tip!
Nice
You straight up rip bro
Thanks man 🤙🏼
I gotta get some balls to hit that triple
Fuck yea.. Running a thumb throttle haha I also run one on my yz250... Way more comfortable, twist throttle svares3 the shit out of me
Yeah man, I like it a lot!
Makes me feel like an idiot sometimes but its better than getting whiskey throttle and being fucking dead haha
What brake lever are you using? Mine hits the throttle housing so I have the brake adjusted kinda goofy, I'm also using a trx450 throttle
