Thank you Mike!! It was so FUN for me as a mom to watch my son Battle and ride with YOU.. what an honor… YOU are an amazing rider and Ammon enjoyed that so much… thanks for checking on him too… you and your family are a class act… SO fast… and fun definitely 5 am serious… #ohanaracing
Riding with Ammon made my whole weekend. It was so much fun. I know I had no business trying to hang with someone his age, but it really made the day a blast. He was riding so good and I just kept waiting for him to blow by me again. He's a future Rhino Rally overall winner for sure.
It good to see you Mike! I was actually right behind you under the power line road right before the first check and for a few miles after...Man, your pace is fast! Faster than I like can/should go...But I was really hoping to make it in this video so I was really hanging it out, trying to make myself famous! lol Then arm pump and out of shape happened...and the wheels came off. But it was fun to run up towards the front for a bit. Great ride! You haul!
It was great seeing you and your brother. I had no idea you were right behind me....you should have blown by me! I thought I did see your brother kind of pulled off to the side just before starting I-15 wash. Wash I imagining that?
@@ridewithmike962 Believe me I tried to pass you! But you are just too fast...I could make some time on you on the straights-because...450-but your corner speed is so much faster than mine I couldn't ever make a pass (we'd kind of yo-yo back and forth, I'd make some time on the straights...you'd pull away just enough in the corners that I couldn't pass you on the next straight). Then once we got off the fast roads (where it actually takes talent to go fast) you just disappeared...then I got arm pump, and dropped anchor like Mike Alessi in the whoops...and got passed exactly 487 times (at least if felt like that). :) That could have been Daniel, a rock grabbed his rear brake pedal and ripped it off, so he only finished one loop. See you at knolls!
It was 3 loops of 30 miles. Although I've ridden and raced the area before, I did not know the actual course beforehand. It was supposed to be a different course, but due to the snow and rain on Thursday/Friday, the club had to quickly change it up and mark a course in the lower elevations of Warner Valley.
"Rally" is just the name of this particular race. It's not a Rally format, just a regular Hare n' Hound style desert race where the 2-stroke is just fine.

To think you and Kyle rode the same race back in 2002 and then to ride with Ammon is seriously an honor to our family.. 😊
Is it just me, or is everyone cheering for Mike to pass the whole time !!!
Your speed is so impressive Mike. Wow! I like watching your videos just as much as Josh!
Thanks Cole. Hero dirt makes everyone feel like a superstar. It was a ton of fun.
Hell of a start mike 👏🏻
Thanks Mitch. I totally lucked out, but the new bike runs so good.
Whew!! Flyin’!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Thanks Kael. It was a fun one!

See you at knolls!
@@riodj80Awesome. Glad you had a great time. I look forward to seeing you at Knolls.
Dumb question. How many loops is that. And do you know the track beforehand? That is fast.
3 loops of 30 miles.. rhino rally always does same course variations but MIKE is the. BEST…

Amazing ride! Old man still has it! Good for you!
Haha, I think I'm watching the wrong class, you're so ridiculously fast!
Ha....my wife accuses me of not acting my age all the time ;)
Mike, have you made any changes to the bike?
I've had my suspension done by MotoXperts, but other than that, the bike is stock and it just flat rips.
Rally with 2 stroke? Is that bad after 500
