Ox Motorsports wins the 2017 San Felipe Baja 250! This video highlights the aerials captured by the SciFly helicopter using their gyrostabilized Cineflex rig.
@@ridered7262 i know, myself having privateered an IT250f, against factory teams husqvarna, honda, ktm. our gearing was i think 1 tooth up on the countershaft our top speed on the asphalt couldn't have been much over 70 or 75, and we came within minutes of overalling the first 3 in the score series. even though our bike looked like it should be mounted on the front bumper of a Winnebago heading for a good sams club park, by the 500 we had class21 in the bag. the bike was basically stock. it was a support ride, and that's all the help we got. you can gear a bike to do 115 on the pavement. but for some strange reason, average speeds are always 50s and maybe 60s? there's one tip though Ronnie Nelson taught me, when going into a corner wide open, where's you would normally back off, count to 1 and then back off. sounds easy.
i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@David Ryder i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
don't these guys preride? from the lines he's on it doesn't look like it. right down the middle of the most beaten path. they look like they're on a poker run. seriously, is that laguna salada, and riding sitting up? laying on the tank picks up MPH, unless of course the speed sitting up was more comfortable, did they have fried chicken and macaroni and cheese at the pits?
Buck Wheat - You’re watching the best riders in the world with full factory rides. They are so good companies pay a helicopter to spot for them over a 250 mile race. I’m pretty sure at 3:11 the rider took a pre-identified shortcut, so, yes they pre-ride. Hard to memorize 100 or more miles of trail after riding it only a few times. Just have to remember the tricky/extremely dangerous parts. Plus these guys are hauling ass the whole time not just for a few minutes like when we race our friends back to camp.
yeah i know they're paid as the best in the world. i had the opportunity to gather some parts with a yamaha support ride in the late 70s to give it a whirl class 21, and think it was during bob hannahs motocross show that yamaha wasn't a factory participant in score races that i remember. terry clark's house was butted up to mine as little kid watched him in hodaka days to number 1t plate, if you know anything about that, it was the show then. any way there was a bunch of champions that lived nearby that i used to hang out with or pick up what they talked about, ronnie nelson, mitch mayes, hannah ( me and my wife went riding with him or where he was riding once.) but clark and hannah had tracks less than 1/2mile from my house, that i got to ride as much as i wanted to. i was riding a 76 husqvara 250 cr for a couple year and it broke, and for some reason yamaha offered me this support ride, it was 1 IT 250 starting with E class every 6 months with 500 dollars in parts at cost. they retailed i think for 1200. plus the parts you could almost assemble a whole bike for parts at cost, i wasn't interested in that, i made up wheels for pits in baja, the days of massive short cuts were gone but speed limits in the pits and stupid things like that weren't around. and so to do any good that preriding could do one and even to this day can majorly benefit to pick up on what i focused on. i didn't even really know about going to the outside of corners to go around them faster until ron nelson told me. i was working with ron on an earthmoving company, why by the way paid for everything other than bike to preride. we were basically privateering it and won the first 3, parker 400, mexicali 250, and the baja 500. the strategy i noticed then will still work today. because i seen the factory teams pull up with semi trucks of bikes and parts. only i didn't see anyone preriding or taking i serious. the IT we rode looked more like it should be on the front bumber of a winibago heading to a good sams campground instead of racing baja. i doubt it had a top speed of 75. maybe 70. jeff kaplan and rick finger i think was a favorite class riding husky. we'd go down partying our butts off except when pre riding. i'll admit that having my particular co rider was chosen specifically on account of his more than brutal riding style in solid dust with a huge smile. i had him start and at the half way point i'd take over, we had pipe benders in the pits knowing he'd crash hard a few times but the bike was in physically 1st place class 21 and mere seconds from class 22. all i had to do was what i prerode about. even then since the short cuts were basically marked to shave off any seconds came in finding those millions of .10 second plus shortcuts in the small corners. we'd take each leg 60 mile approx etc and ride it (whoever's it was,) and ride it as many times as needed, maybe 3 trips to dial in the lines. not like worlds best today they're fast but to beat them is to follow that exact method that i figured out then. we weren't expected to win. they probably laughed at us. i know they weren't that worried about us until after the 500. and to make it more hilarious. yamaha wanted their bikes back. they dropped me that year. i made more money working moving dirt. me and my partner got 50 percent to split. parker paid 1800 that was 450 each. that was the high dollar one. i know the place is torn up nowdays from the trucks. . oh well sorry about the long story, but it's my only claim to fame, and nobody listens to it anyways. we didn't have cameras and youtube then. i've been riding ever since then but it might be over as of recent health issues just a week ago.
Best Baja video yet.

Nice Job .. high definition perfect
These guys are crazy fast, it's a lot harder than it looks. Most riders can barely ride in sand at all, let alone at speeds of up to 110 mph.
in the sand? 110? c'mon man. asphalt maybe, that must be where the sand is you're talking about.
@@buckwheat7424 Kennon is telling the truth, Especially these guys.
@@ridered7262 450X will not go 100 mph in sand

Great video, wonderful scenery, great shot selection, amazing biking! Thanks for posting. Hopefully is not the last one... I didn't want it to finish.

SciFly!!!
Really good video! The helicopter view does not do justice to how rough this course really is. 19 haters? (KTM jealousy)
KTM Kant Take Mexico
wats the name of that song?
what is the name of the first song bro?
What is the name of the first song?
Would be super cool if they could somehow show the speed of the bike.
these look like stages from richard burns rally.
The Video Is Great! The Audio Not So Much & You Could've Recorded The Actual Sounds With A Go Pro.
🤠🇧🇷👍

Blasting fire roads for 250 miles... Welcome to baja?
No
Yes it's a great video but for me the music is so anticlimactic, felt like the music never got out of first gear and went anywhere.
