    Such a great watch! I feel like you definitely got better riding a lighter 2 stroke and figuring out the technique. Solid riding and racing!

    Nice job man! I think the bike helped you, Sherco is very good in technical areas. The next race will be in Romaniacs 😊

    I’ve taken a class with Cody when he was on a borrowed bike with non-gummy tires and stock suspension… he still embarrassed all of us. Ditto Jarvis, who has won races on bone stock Huskies. The pros bikes are set up well, but they are nothing magic. Their riding/speed is awesome because of their skills and experience.
    That was an awesome finish for your first hard enduro by the way. I don’t know what your background is, but you’re definitely no slouch on a bike! Nice video!

    I read an article about an aussie former pro who won a hare scramble against modern bikes on a 80s XL185. Its the archer, not the arrow

    You’d get a much better feel for a pro bike if you got Cody’s shock and forks instead. Those guys travel with their suspension, it’s what makes the pro bikes so different. Great vid!

    Those lower pegs make a surprising difference. Especially for taller long legged riders. Combine that with the Astra Jarvis bend bars.

    Great video! Well done at Silver King! What tires did the bike come with? Did you swap them out? If so, with what? I look forward to your progress on Cody’s bike!!

    • @IsaacJohnston
      @IsaacJohnston  День тому

      Thanks! The bike came with a Michelin Enduro extreme gummy on the rear and a Dunlop MX 53 on the front.
      I switched to a IRCIX09 on both the rear in the front for the race. The rear was amazing and the front was terrible. I don’t think I’ll ever ride a gummy on the front again. The rear IX09 is the best tire if you have going to replace your tire every 15 to 20 hours lol

    • @dirtbikerwv1313
      @dirtbikerwv1313 День тому

      That is the rear tire I run as well! I run a skinko mx 216 in the front . It’s a great tire and very predictable.

    fun video! I once bought a bike that had been set up and raced by a pro (Alan Gravitt). it was a stock bike with all stock parts but set up very carefully; I could tell the difference between it and if I had set it up myself with the knowledge I had back then. That said, it didn't make that much difference; It ran perfectly, sure, but off-road, the bike doesn't matter all that much. I could have swapped bikes with the guy who won the race, and still would not have been able to beat him. the best things I did for my riding had nothing to do with any particular bike; they were to take riding clinics from pros and to buy a trials bike and practice on that.

    I doubt the bike has the factory parts that Webb had. His mechanic most likely made the bike « stock » again before selling it.

    • @IsaacJohnston
      @IsaacJohnston  День тому +1

      Some of the parts were for sure. I didn’t have his throttle, bars, skid plate and some other things. Most of what makes the bike perform like his was included.

      @@IsaacJohnston Pro racers have insane suspension. I am pretty sure you didn't got his special suspension, you got the stock Sherco suspension unless you paid an insane amount of money for it. You most likely have the Keihin carb and not his Smart carb too.
