Would be dope for you to keep one XC steed in the shop. GNCC races could be good prep for the moto season!
Agreed, either take your current bike (or the two stroke or both) and woods them, and get a new one for the nationals next year. If all this is possible of course.
He doesn’t need it though. Like he said, “I don’t know what I’m doing”. And he doesn’t need to leave off the hand guards for anyone else to know it. Not knocking it either. Racing is hard.
GNCC races can be done on moto bikes. It’s not hard enduro. Skill will account for %90 of where he ends up in the pack. Any lightweight moto bike will work.
After that maybe the quarter second advantage of the fast battery crank will help.😂
Glad he’s racing, cause it’s fun, but accounting any if this whatsoever to equipment is just silly.
You moto guys cant handle gncc. Most of you barely make it one lap bc your out of shape and cant ride In mud,rocks roots
After my first 2hr race my wrists and hands were crying. haha. I was on a stock suspension Cr250 with an overbored, ported, and milled motor. I immediately had my suspension revalved and got a flywheel weight. I felt like it was trying to kill me the entire time. haha. Also, speaking of berms and tight turns in the woods, a lot of the pro woods guys will actually use trees on tight turns...theyll slide the back tire into a corner and use tree trunks to stop the back tire and shoot off of it. Kind of a scary concept at first. haha. The people and community around these races is unparalleled! Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
Off-road is definitely a blast. Did moto for several years then took a break away from it unfortunately, but when I got back into it I got into doing harescrambles. Absolutely loved it. Loved how I was out there for a long period of time instead of the hurry up get to practice, do a couple laps, then sit, then hurry for 1st moto, then sit, etc. also love the unknown for some reason on the first lap. In moto you walk the track. Not on off-road. Definitely learning how to not wear yourself out right away is key. Come up to New Jersey and do some harescrambles and enduros with the lafferty boys. They will give you some good lessons.
Dude you did awesome I’m proud of you man, God bless you and keep you safe dude!!!
Respect. Love it when Motocrosser's race off-road! It is a much more laid back atmosphere and more seat time on killer terrain is a blast👍👍
My first local hare scramble turned into a National Hare and Hound event between the time I signed up and the race came. So the track went from 22 mile lap of moderate terrain of washes, ridge lines, and roads, to 25 mile laps of gnarly ridges, canyons, hill climbs, and super fast whooped out roads...fun but brutal..
I saw the 841 but thought for sure “why would he be here”. Good job, GNCC and in general woods racing is fun.
Gotta love the GNCC Mud Fleas. Next year you should hit up Snowshoe.
It's amazing how this could be the video for my ftr experience as a moto guy. Literally word for word man. Multiple crashes on the first lap then none after that once I figured it out. Passing a bunch of guys only to have them pass me back over and over. I finally got a KTM 300XC and trust me when I say this... Ride that bike if you can and it will have you hooked on woods racing. I did mine on a 450 and it was hell in comparison.
If you’re wanting to set up the 250 SX for woods, look into XCGear for pegs, clamps and about anything off-road. Also, for the hands, try a different compound grip to lesson the damage you do to them during a race. Hope this helps you in anyway.
I found switching from Renthal Twinwalls to a Fat bar with no cross bar is a lot easier on the hands for tree roots and rocks. Moto valving would not have helped. Good to mix it up and have some fun to keep things fresh.
That’s awesome love watching your content. All off-road racing is a different breed, the riders and fans are more like a fraternity of the sport. I’ve been riding and racing since I was 6 and I cherish my younger days when my parents let me have fun and travel from minis to big bore…it’s a cool race environment. My all time struggle was Big Buck in SC when is was muddy as hell. Being 13 years old on a KX100 jumping a big river gap into muddy roots was something I don’t know how I came out with no injuries every year. Lol
Enjoy the people and culture, it will help you release and get back to just having fun.
Woods racing is the bomb! Get a 300, add the guards and a steering damper will help with the abuse off road feeds back to the hands. I like the Odi pillow lock ons for grips. Get suspension set up for woods, ie soft
Pretty fun stuff. Old man here. Raced my first one a week ago. Smashed a tree and killed my chest cam go pro... had to pick it up and put it in the backpack... passed by my entire group:(.
Fell no less than half a dozen more times. Definitely gonna take some getting used to.
Awesome vid man. Keep up the grind.
Great story. I totally plan to run a GNCC or three after my broken legs heal!
I have an extra SXF 350 if you want to give the Florida harescrambles another shot!
we need more jwalk GNCC’s
Famous last words of any woods race “I’ll just avoid the trees” 🤣
I think you would have a blast! Get that 2 stroke setup or maybe a new 300 smoker???? Let's go!!
As someone who race's harescrambles professionally, bike set is key. Motocross suspension is wayyy to stiff. I found that out the hard way my first time. Otherwise you did pretty good for your first time. Maybe one day I'll see you at the starting line at a gncc or hare scramble!
Harescramble professionally huh? What series and how much do you make because there is a huge difference between gncc pro and local pro
@@johnnydoeboy9301 That is my personal business that I don't discuss with random people. I have also have raced xc1 pro in gncc several times. And xc2 on quad.
Ehh moto suspension is about right, yes you'd want it dialed down, but gncc races are 3rd gear all the way around.
@@luken4490 yea that’s funny because I know for a fact you are not making living off of racing unless you are supported by your parents.
@@dhdyrjfmenrydka I do find it hilarious how people do this. 3rd gear huh? Wow. C class or B do you races 🤣🤣🤣🤣
J-walk woods racing on a 2 stroke?! XC gear Maco 360 clamps, suspension, 18 inch rear tire, oversize tank and the 250 will be sick.
Dam good result!! Definitely need to build your 2strk for GNCC
When I first started racing HS, GNCC, etc. I noticed my moto skills especially in rutty turns and through rough were much better. You learn a lot in the woods or in the desert.
I would definitely like two see you do a two smoke off road build that would be sick
Dig it! More more more!
Nice ride man!
Day 75 of Cheering on Jeff: GO JEFF!
see you next week brother!
Day 1 of cheering on you to cheer on Jeff: GO BRAP.Bryant
@@JeffWalker84 maybe 😬
Jeff, come do the ftr series!!!
Wow ,that's crazy that you did that good, especially with all the crashes. And yeah ,fans are awesome. Come race the wild boar gncc with us
Great job Jwalk!! Way to show them moto boys can off-road too!!
Fantastic Jeff 💪 🔥🔥🔥
You did so good buddy
Woods racing is the best adrenaline on the edge riding you will ever get
So gutted your camera fell off 🤬
2023 GNCC J WALER 🏆🥇 bring it on
Glad you had fun. If you're wanting to do some more woods racing, look and see if there's some local harescrambles in your area. Even more chill than a gncc. Maybe a fun way to get some cross training in. Being out of your element, some of the local pros may give you a run for your money.
I'd love to see you do more off road races. Gopro footage would be sweet.
Man you aren't lying about it being a different kind of sore. When I get off the track I feel like I did a work out, when I get off the trails I just felt like I ran a marathon. Home to see more of this stuff and I sure hope someone finds your camera.
harescrables will make you feel like you got jumped its so damn rough
@@nathanw5431 I sure hope to find out some day. I will probably be getting another trail bike next year. I have just been riding my KX250F or CRF450R on the trails, but mostly the 250. I got rid of my WR450 because it was just too much for my skill level at the time and the tight trails in general.
I purchased a Anti-Gravity battery too, they are awesome !
Come to New England and run a J day! There is nothing like it, half track and half woods/extreme sections. Webb just did one this year
garage looks epic!!
No way a an MX racer can compete with a top GNCC racer. GNCC is a much higher level of athleticism.
I know it’s a different breed I race them all
Sick man so stoked to see you do an offroad !!
PLEASE do more off-road races. They are sooo much fun.
I like this twist. Can't wait to see more woods racing! Shit will make a man out ya 😂
Dude so sick. These races are great for cross training no doubt. Bike setup and body position is keyN
yeah I liked seeing ya doing something different.. and a good result with it.. good stufff..
Check out US sprint enduro. The season starts in January I think. They are a lot of fun.
Ironman this year was so ruff. Congrats on the finish. Hopefully see u more next season.
Pretty sick. Stoked to eventually see you run supercross.
Ha nice one 👍 hard enduro next ? Loving the merch just got a hoodie
Dang that is an awesome result from your first GNCC on moto suspension!
It was in the amateur race
Get that 2 smoke built and come race some michigan sprint enduros. Would be an awesome format for vlog videos.
Did awesome brother! Question though cause I’m thinking of running my first GNCC as well and already have numbers. Did they make you cover them up or strip them since you have to run one of their own? Or are they pretty flexible and not care lol don’t wanna throw my numbers down the drain for other series I race in. Great ride and review of it!
Look up AWRCS, it's a local harescramble series around PA and OH, if you wanna do more racing.
Fun to watch you give off-road a try! Nice ride!
You should hit up ixcr in Indiana next year or come down south and race big buck or wild boar gncc before the mx season starts. You could even hit up my local series mideast hair scramble. The season starts early February usually the week before big buck
i had a starting problem too. hard start when hot. it was a worn starter sprag
FTR Florida hare scrambles run Saturday sportsman races for 1h30min and have some pretty fun Sandy turn track races that are not near as tight and rough as gncc in okeechobee coming up this year that zach osborne raced last year would be cool to see you come out!✊
Heck yeah big dogg love the off road riding 🤘
If you’re not doing SX, there’s a few good desert races out west that are super fun to do throughout those months. Check out BITD. Best desert series state side.
Get some Fasst handlebars. They are tought and so great at reducing arm and shoulder fatigue.
getting wild in the woods
Whenever guys show up to ride with me in the woods and they don't have handguards of some kind. I immediately say to myself you're going to have a rough day buddy!
Buddy took a rip in my specialty 🤣 fr goodjob tho man it seems like every harescramble is gnarly and you were killin it
Ayy thanks dude! 🫡
Jeff, funny question but what’s your color of choice for the orange ktm ? Just bought my first ever ‘22 ktm and I can’t pick color 😂😂😂
Man i love ur videos keep up the good work!
I would love to see a two stroke gncc bike build!
Would love to see some more gncc videos!!
Rocking the VetMX hat. 🤘
you should get up with zach o or kr and see whta theyre running for suspension. would be very interesting to know just how different the suspension setup is for pro mx vs pro offroad. I know the setups vary wildy just between skill levels in offroad alone, my suspension setup for A-expert class on a yz250 was way stiffer than that of a 250b or even a vet A rider.
So sick!
Tech inspection like at all amateur races 😂 so hilarious
I subbed after I watched the first video you are awesome
Which bike was that? I would assume it was not your new pro national race bike?
Gncc are awesome events, I’ve been to a few of them, and generally race harescrambles….
Dude! Get over the pond and race GGN (gotland grand national) worlds biggest race 😁 3 hrs of dirtbike fun 😁
You did great despite the adversity also I know you get this asked every video but tickets just went on sale for sx and was wondering if you’ll be racing in Houston?
Suspension, maybe different gloves and possibly different grips will greatly help the hands.
Jeff, Pull up the 2020 Iron man GNCC. You'll see what I consider the perfect off-road race or gncc !
Check out MSXC. Plenty of gncc style racing this winter.
Love it man!
Are you going to be there this year?
New Zealand GNCC is next level
What camera are you using during your battery install? And do you run the lens protectors on your one rs? I'm scared to mess the actual lenses up but the protectors kinda get scratched easily..
absolutely run the screen protectors! I have a Canon EOS M50 for my blog camera
@@JeffWalker84 that's interesting, how often do you replace your rs protectors? Btw great riding out there, love your content! Keep it up brother! 🤙
So cool to see you at ironman. Hope you come back again
Damn this video was cool as shit keep up the woods racing 👍🏻
you should ride some GNCC with Highsided Films!
Yeah the end of the season races this year we’re crazy dusty.
Any reason you haven’t switched to a 2023 model KTM? Or any 2023 in general?
this is my kind of racing!
You should come out west and hit up a desert race, desert is another breed
Looks like a killer race 🤘
You should try a hard enduro sometime or maybe a round of endurocross next season
Would be awesome to have an enduro side to the channel!!!!
its a different world
Outdoor prep for next year! GNCC starts in march
Many top mx pros have gone there and got destroyed, totally underestimated thing to do ⚠️
I ride a race bike on enduro and sometimes it’s frustrating but it’s fine
Totally different type of riding. Still super fun tho
Red Bull Hare Scramble Erzbergrodeo
Would be a good race😁
I forgot kaleb Russel the goat of off-road racing was there
Bruh you still got 14th overall that’s freaking good
I just don’t my first one last year. It’s def a experience u will never forget lol
How do you like the anitgravity battery?
So how crazy was that hill in person??
