and oddly enough i'm going to agree with ZX!!!! It really does look like the slowest group is out on the track. most of these guys aren't even attempting to hang off their bike and carry some speed around the turns!

What do you mean oddly enough...Im always right

Because you could do that at ten, I'm sure.

Gotta love how just because he's good, people say "LULZ, shitty riders make him look good, lulz"

so yeap tha kids got mad skills. I have an eight year old with a 100 cc dirt bike that can ride the wheels of it. so it doesnt surprise me.

I watched the video again and they arent kidding. The kid needs new tires. Over 400 laps on em..

What impresses me most is that the kid has all the corner speed you could want. He doesn't have straight away speed, but when they hit any of the switchbacks, he is gone. It is also impressive that he is riding like that when the front and back are fighting for grip the entire time.

That little kid is bad ass if i would have been there i would have been lapped by him before finishing my first lap easy

Watching the video for a second time, I noticed that even though the other riders appear slow you can tell by the scenery passing the camera bike that they are moving along pretty well.

This really makes me want to get some track time in next year. That kid is awesome.

or pray the video of him waxing me isn't on youtube.

and I guarantee those guys in that video are all giving it everything they've got. I've been to enough trackdays to know how the beginers ride.

Lol! That doesn't answer the question. But, yeah I get what you're saying. I would just look down at my bike like something broke! Will almost flung himself off twice on acceleration. Did you guys see any of the other vids? I mean freaking awesome. By time the kid is old enough to turn pro he will have raced on and know every major track in the U.S. and possibly Europe if he gets snatched up to go race in the mini GP series over there.

I was told today by someone that Jason Disalvo at that kids age, was running 1:12's at the track I go to. do you know what I can only muster? a fucking 1:20.

ped · 08-31-2008, 12:56 AM

yep on a 125cc gp bike too.

pntbutta · 08-31-2008, 09:29 AM

Ahhhh...... The wonderful joy of learning corner speed on small displacement GP bikes and under powered bikes. Let off and you die! Weeeeeeeeee! To be young and fearless again......... Lol

It's easier to go fast when you are ten and have never been injured and oh yeah, when you are fully sponsored, by mom and dad... just sayin. Not saying the kid wont grow up to be the next superstar of the sport, I hope he does. I am saying though that I personally would be riding slow when the there is 10 year old cutting up the warm up lap. Yup, no responsibilities or fears, it's impressive what can be done.
