Is riding on sand as easy as Joe thinks?
The first time I rode my WR450 on sand ready for the Weston beach race, Joe said I made it look really hard. Today is his chance to see how easy it really is!

My first time entering the 2024 Weston Beach Race - probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done!
Переглядів 3,9 тис.21 день тому
This was my first time entering the iconic Weston beach race and only my 2nd time ever riding on sand. It was incredible but so difficult, I struggled on the first lap taking a good hour and falling off 8 times however I managed to complete 4 laps and came 549th out of about 800! The little KTM 200 did me proud especially considering it’s 23 years old. Thanks for watching and please remember to...
Riding on sand for the first time - can I do it?
Переглядів 172Місяць тому
Having entered the Weston beach race I thought it would be a good idea to try riding on sand before I go. The sand was so soft which made it really difficult but it was great to have a go. Weston should be interesting! Thanks for watching and please remember to like and subscribe to see how I get on. 🙂
Can Joe finally beat me around a MX track?

On our last outing Joe said I was only faster than him because my Yamaha WR450 was faster than his KTM 200 EXC. Today we find out if it’s the bike or the person! Thanks for watching and please remember to like and subscribe to help us keep growing the channel. 🙂
Can I beat Joes time around Cwmduad motocross track.

2 weeks ago Joe did a practice session at Cwmduad mx track on the Ktm200 exc and stated “ you won’t beat that time, not even on the Yamaha Wr450! “ so today I went to see if I could. Thanks for watching and please remember to like and subscribe to help us grow the channel 🙂

Starting motocross at 47 years old, Stupid idea?
Переглядів 4322 місяці тому
This was my first motocross race and only my 2nd time ever on a track. It rained at the start which made it really difficult but brightened up later and the track dried out. All in all a good day and I was pleased with how I coped with the conditions and definitely made good progress.

Riding a loop including Strata Florida. This is our 3rd attempt after failing twice before. This time though we have a couple of our subscribers who have reached out and wanted to ride with us. Although they haven’t done many green lanes and trail riding they have done plenty of trials and it certainly shows! Thanks John & Bush for a great day out!

The STRATA FLORIDA Disaster: What REALLY Happened
Переглядів 1453 місяці тому
We had another go at Strata Florida after our first fail and it went about as well as the first time. I fell off the Yamaha WR in to a massive puddle and then the battery died. Joe got stuck in the mud on the Ktm exc then had to tow me back. Luckily managed to bump start it after a while. Another fail but all good fun with some stunning scenery!

Testing the Dji mini 4 pro drone around Nant y Moch green lanes in Aberystwyth. Great day out on the Yamaha wr450, Suzuki Dr250 and KTM 125exc. The drone was amazing considering it was our first time trying it and I’m sure with practice the results will be spectacular.

Strata Florida Wales July 2023 ~ it’ll be fine they said… it wasn’t !!! Fail !!!
Well done buddy stirring effort 💪
Thanks, wasn’t sure I’d even make 1 lap when I walked it the day before… nearly didn’t 😂
good on you mate, age is just a number! far too many of us work too hard and dont have enough fun. cracking vid glad the race went well
Thanks, I think I’ve finally got work / life balance right. Need to do these things now while I still can. It’s true, you only regret the things you don’t do!
Great work! This is on my 2025 bucket list, just short of a bike and all the riding gear 😂
Thanks, Christmas soon, ask nicely 🤞😂
Youre on a 450? Jesus you need to slsp yourself... not being funny , im a bit of a noob aswell but me and my xr6 woulda run rings round you! Im there this weekend btw...
I feel for you. That is a hard race. Well done.
Thanks, it’s definitely a learning experience. Looking forward to next year already 🙂
Reckon it’s something that needs to be done?
Hell yeah! 😂 maybe just the once though 🙄 I think I’ll be doing it again next year now I’ve learnt what’s what. Got to improve and beat Joe when he does it.
@@crashbangbikers I’ll have to buy a new bike. My stark will need charging after second lap 😅
@@ScottDoingBits-c6m buy an old one and sell it after 👌😂
That was me trying to pivot turn behind you when you got stuck 😅
Sorry 😂😂😂 I was trying to get out of your way. 😬 At least I saved you going in that bit!
@@crashbangbikers 😂😂 I managed 7 laps this year, my first time doing it, hoping for 10+ next year 🤙🏼 see you there!
@TPI_Kon250 well done, excellent achievement, hopefully I’ll get a couple more in next year. 👍
Brillant vid buddy keep up the good work the music did me in a bit 😂
Thanks, sorry about the sound issues and dodgy music. Hopefully get it sorted for the next one 👍
Same. The music was rough
Yeah, I know. I’ll sort it next time. 👍
Looks fun but also hell lol! I’d still love to give it a go. What I’m interested in is how much work the bike needs afterwards? As in what’s the damage from all the sand? Good effort though!
Sorry, I know! The audio was so bad I had to cut most of it so it would have just been silent. I was gutted as you could have heard how much I actually struggled. Hopefully I’ll find a way to improve the GoPro sound for the future. Give the bike a good pressure wash and it’s fine. No brake pads left on the rear though, and a slight dent in the exhaust otherwise fine.
It looked brutal but on my bucket list well done
Thanks, just do it, you only live once. I can say I did it for the rest of my life now. It’s only brutal if you fall off and get stuck 😂
@@crashbangbikers I do bogs but that looks brutal yes definitely next year the bike doing very good that must be an old O2
@kennyshardenduronortheast6408 2001 and not had much done to it. Don’t make them like they used to 😂
@@crashbangbikers I had an extra one with an auto loan probably one of the better bikes I have owned
Good effort! I was getting so angry at the beginning when no one jumped over to help! I know its part of it but if someones struggling in that i had to go help 😅
Thanks, yeah it’s all part of it. At least I had the satisfaction of knowing I managed to get it out myself. I’ve definitely learnt to take my time and choose a better route next time.
@@crashbangbikers Very true! I did leave them a min to see if they could manage. Hoping to have a go at the quad race next year
@kylekaye9147 good luck, let me know if you do, I’m sure we’ll be back next year. 👍
Great video! What position? Theres me thinking ill do it next year and aim for 10 laps 😂😂😂 going to re think that number!
Thanks, unfortunately the audio was so bad had to put rubbish music over to cover it ☹️ 118 out of 176 in over 40’s and 549 out of 775 overall. More than happy with that! If I’d been smarter and not had so many issues on the 1st lap could’ve done a few more easily. It’s all about picking the right route. I’ve learned a lot so hopefully can improve if I do it again next year. Definitely do it, nothing else like it 👍
Great video brilliant effort well done 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@greenlaneduo thanks, are you going to do it with us next year?
@@crashbangbikers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i may be safer spectating not sure if richard would like to have a bash😄
Quality Start, I could feel the frustration in the walk off haha.
I found it funny, Joe not so much! 😂
Keep her pinned and get more onto tank
Ok I’ll try thanks. I was trying to keep my weight back to keep the front end light so it didn’t dig into the soft sand, is that wrong?
Good day
Great place, highly recommended!
Such a fun video to watch! Really enjoyed it :)
Thanks, I’m sure there will be more to come 😂
You crazy pair! Good film and edit too.
Thanks, we do have a lot of fun!
The best tip for riding Strata is stick to either the left or right of the puddles. Reason being is it's heavily used by 4x4 and if you try to move out of your left or right side your going to come off. Also if you stick to either side you can use your leg to balance against the bank if needed. It's a good lane and I'd say definitely have another go at it. Just stick to the sides and you will be fine.
Yeah you’re definitely right. Thanks for the advice, we did have another go and we finally made it. (Watch our Adventurous day out video) Also found going through the water slower was better!
Probably! But a brave soul - well done!
Thanks, I think you might be right, but its something I’ve always wanted to try but never had the time until now. Let’s see how it goes, I’ve signed up for the Weston beach race in October 😬
@@crashbangbikers you really are going for it. Good luck!
@Trickynickymarts thanks 🙂
Well done jo?👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks 🙂
This is good ,this is helpful!Rich Larson just seems to balance wheelie on the approach and then blip over the obstacle.I do it when im dreaming sometimes(not kidding ) and wake up really happy😀
Glad you enjoyed it, plenty of practice and you’ll get it. Some people just make everything look so easy but it’s really not!
Wow! That's some washout @ 1.04! 😳👍
Yep, that was very scary. I’m not sure you can actually see how deep it is!
Did this about 15 yrs ago with a coupla mates. The "leader" didn't realise we'd reached the end, so we popped out, crossed the road, and promptly got lost in some forestry land for hours. In the dark.
Oh dear, well I guess you made it out eventually 😂 All adds to the fun and gives you a good story to tell.
Nice one, just discovered your channel. Done this a couple of times too and that water is just a bit over the comfort level for me! Be good if you ever fancied a small non pro group outing in the Aberystwyth area?
Thanks, it took us 3 attempts to complete it but I’d be much more confident about doing it again having done it now. Would love to meet up sometime, maybe do the Nant y Moch ride with you if you want that’s relatively easy. Email me Crashbangbikers@gmail.com and we can arrange something 👍
Is this part of the TET routes?@@crashbangbikers
Hi, yes it is part of the TET I believe.
Nice to see such gentlemen .
It was great to meet and ride with a couple of our subscribers and what total legends! Will definitely be heading out with them again sometime soon 👍
As the saying goes ''3rd time lucky'' hey .we still havnt done this one it's one we want to attempt you guy's took it all in your stride lol
Maybe next time you can come with us and show us how it’s done properly! 😀
@@crashbangbikers let you know when we get round to attempting it for sure. Think your son would be towing me out of there aswell!😅
You still got the trials bike? I think you mentioned that you were going to get a Montesa 4rt
@brows1973 still got the beta, I decided not to change it as it doesn’t get used much. Turns out there isn’t really anywhere to ride it around here so more into the Dirtbikes now. More options. Hopefully I’ll get to use the trials bike again sometime though.
Nice drone shot. Cool bike
that is stunning recordding! have a great day~ Crashbangbikers-
Thanks, the drone is incredible, only used it a couple of times, so easy!
We are thinking of getting a drone for our channel do you reccomend the model you are using? there seems to be so many to choose from on the market your footage looks good quality with the one your using.
Hi, yes I would highly recommend it. It’s not the cheapest but for me the added obstacle avoidance and tracking modes were a major selling point having never used one before. This was literally my 2nd time using it, Obviously need to practice more to get better results next time but so easy to start off with. The return to home feature is also amazing. You will probably need more than one battery though.
@greenlaneduo just watched some of your videos and looks like you’re local, if you fancy a spin sometime I can give you a demo 🙂
@@crashbangbikers sounds an ideal drone for these types of videos and if reasonably easy to use an added bonus too 🙂
Are you still riding? I just started about 3 months ago.
Hi, not so much on the trials bike anymore, there’s just nowhere to go around where we live. We’ve had to move more onto dirt bikes as there are loads of tracks nearby. Will keep the bike though. Where abouts are you?
@@crashbangbikers usa
Ahh, not close enough to go out for a ride together then 😂
@@crashbangbikers 😂 no
hey i was ur 300 sub :D love the vid man
That’s awesome thanks, can’t believe we’ve got to 300. Hopefully we’ll be able to improve the quality of the content soon as we’re learning all the time. I’ll send you a Crashbangbikers sticker if you want 🙂
Looked like you enjoyed yourselves 👍🏼 better experience all round for you than the hare scramble 😊
Yeah went much better thanks, great fun!
You nailed that last one!
Were a helmet
Well done mate, you’re really good. I’m surprised you’re not sponsered by red bull
Good video. I rode a motobike for the first ever in october then went there 2 weeks later, my mind was tottally blown and the struggle is real. My favorite place to go to when i can get out on the bike. Every time im learning something new and pushing myself
Brave! That must have been a nightmare for you! It’s amazing how quickly you improve though. I’ve just signed up for the Weston beach race, could be a mistake 😂
@@crashbangbikers honestly it tottally blew my mind, im so green to this whole thing and thaught ( cant be too bad lets see ) my god was i suprised. Brilliant place. I cant get out much at all so i takled the hills last time i was there and made it up a few of them. man iv signed up for that aswell. Iv been ridong around on a 10ten 250rx. I knew nothing about motobikes and couldnt part with alot of money knowing it was going to spend alot of time on the floor. And im using this bike for the 12 hr dawn to dusk race then weston beach race 😅
@shaneyboytkd91 you’re mad! FairPlay though. Good luck and let me know how you get on with them both 👍
@@crashbangbikers will do on your weston video as i presume there will be one 😅 have a good time
Might need to get some numbing cream for that one mate
😂 Joe said I was lucky I didn’t break a hip at my age 🤣
Fair enough
I understand your comments entirely.
Catching ya up. Keep it up
Get it in the powerband try rolling a lil faster first. Looks great fun though
Ok thanks I’ll give it a go when I get the bike back together 😂
Nice bro, I'm going there Sunday. I can't wait 😎
Great place, everyone was really helpful and friendly. You’ll really enjoy it! Have fun 🙂
Great video mate
Thanks, appreciate it 👍
One thing I learnt from another video was to start further ba k for first blip. Gives you more time to aim and get ready for next step.
Ok thanks for that, I’ll give it a go 👍
Good job!
Thanks 🙂
Is that 200cc?
No it’s a 250cc
👏
You should try the Yamaha!!!
Do you think that’ll be the easiest or are you trying to kill me? 😂
@@crashbangbikers I was going to chose the Yamaha because you mentioned it was the heaviest, so I thought it would be fun to watch! LOL Looking forward to another "man down" moment. 😂
Well if that’s what you guys want to see I’ll give it a go for you. It’s normally Joe who’s the man down and me saying it, but maybe he’ll get his own back this time 😬
