    Looking good! I'm 55 and been riding for a year, myself. The only difference between you and I...my YZ250 is a 2001. Old dirt bikes...cheaper than a shrink!!! Keep charging.

    Pushing 80 and have ridden and raced since a teenager. Woulden't trade one lap around the track, for a lifetime as a spectator.
    Nothings more exciting than a first turn or the start of a desert race.

    Honestly, Thank you! Im 24 with not much experience, just switched to 250 2 stroke from 250f and im honestly pretty terrified! 😂 i love riding but im not that skilled, i have to focus on going slower and having better posture and healthier riding habits. It seems you dont trust the turns like i do either! One guy told me to go faster and look further ahead in the turns, was a super unnatural feeling but i have to say it was much smoother! I cant wait to try new things. I have so much to learn! I havent even taken my new bike out yet, so it's especially cool for me to hear what it will sound like aswell. Cant wait to see more!

      Thank you brother. That two stroke is very fast as you will find out. Be careful

    #Mrsoulspeed… setup suspension F & R properly & Balanced. Sit forward on seat/tank area in turns. Stand up on straights. Shift more often. Use that gearbox! Speed / momentum is your friend in sand! Add a flywheel weight to slow engine revs. Nice video and riding! Have Fun!

    I just turned 62, I’ve ridden and raced on and off since the mid 70’s. My first bike a 77 Yamaha YZ 80 D
    I bought an RMZ450 but felt it was a bit too much so traded it for a KTM 250 SX 2stroke. Have yet to ride it 😮

    Can I ask what made you get a 250 over 125?
    Wouldn’t a 125 be better for a beginner?

      I was a state mountain bike champion and road cyclist and sponsored Triathlete in my early adulthood. Have excellent bike skills and I’m 200lbs these days. Need the power. It’s a bit much at first but I’m growing into it
