Once you ve been there you will never forget the scene during the start. Something between the trumpets of Jericho and the Riders of the Apocalypse! Gives ne instant chills!
For sure. I’m exhausted just watching them for ten minutes. I would be “hungover” for days after. Don’t ask me for anything and someone please load my bike for me lol
I love it ! At 6:50, after rounding a corner, the camera is angled so you are looking at the riders from behind, and all you can see is every bike throwing roost, you can hardly see then riders for all the roost being thrown up !
I had no idea Le Touquet was still running. Back in 1982 I bought a 490 Maico that had been built to run the beach race, (A&S Racing, Portsmouth UK) It had 63 bhp and weighed 243 lbs. Only MX/Enduro bike that ever scared me when riding in the woods .It was geared for about 130 mph, only ever had it over revving in top gear one time ,a firebreak that normally made front end get a bit light , flat out was about 40 ft in the air. I thought I was never coming down and had plenty of time to think what would happen if I missed the sheep track and landed in the gorse, At 'altitude' the track looked like a pencil line on the ground (probably 3ft wide though) Took it home and fitted standard motocross gearing, about 85mph max seemed so much safer
Yes it's in France.. i went there in 2010 from uk ,and couldn't find anywhere to park ! So i got back in my car and drove to the nurburgring and had a great weekend there instead 😄
Unbelievable , need more races like this in OZ. Great riding by the bloke making others look like theyre standing idle. GreT spectacle for the punters in the crowd
Good day to you! I am a grandpa rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan. Enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. Your PDC video is so nice! Awesome! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!
Fastest I saw was 157kph. That is just shy of 100mph. I seem to remember a record set by a KTM 495 2 stroke of about 128mph in Baja or somewhere. I am not sure if anyone has beaten that speed.
I was wondering that same thing. Seems like this track could be somewhat compatible with older bikes. That whoop section wouldn't be so good for an old machine, but seems like everything else could be done. (To me anyway)
Imagine it for 3hrs... being a pro, trying to win, getting tired, risk of fall because of shit condition and sand, worrying about competition, potential engine probleme, riding as fast as you can and having to care and be super careful with these 900 other amator rider than you have to pass always asap for 2h50 of race... because dont mistake out of 1000 riders, 100 are professional and here for the win and are super fast, the rest are amators here to complete the challenge of trying to finish that race. Every single amators are completdly inpredictable and could ruin your race so quickly cause they dont see you coming super fast behind them... such a cool race. Between pro and amators, that the beauty of that race
Imagine being first for 9/10th of the race then hitting a slow rider you lap, and coming off! A hindrance when there’s so many 100s of riders competing!
🤣😂🤣 Так даже на долгой прямой, огромный разрыв в преимуществе. Между теми кто в первом ряду и в пятом, из-за такой плотности те кто в пятом не смогут дать полный газ. Сразу начинается толкотня и давка, а про задних и говорить нечего. Так что тот кто в первых рядах заведомо в выигрыше.
@@user-ui1wb3sm9pпосмотри на второй группе , между теми кто стартанул первым , и теми кто в задних рядах. Пока тронулись задние , первые уже были на километр дальше, и что тебе даст прямая ?
Awesome riding by Todd Kellett No2 and he wins it by 2.5 minutes. Such control and speed 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is an awesome race, I've never seen or heard of this race here in the US. I love the straight away. Those guys are flying through there !
You’ve never seen or heard of an enduro race in America??? Wow
The Mx touring
Yeah this is new to me
How fast can they drive their bikes.?
@@juliosoares9309 around 160kph (100mph)
The exhaust fumes for the guys sitting in the middle of the pack waiting for the start must have been epic.
As an American that loves outdoor motocross and supercross. This race is epic to watch! Very cool watching them rip down the beach wide open!
yep straight away speeds look to be 95-110mph on the factory support bikes . . .
Dude what is this race this is awesome. Wish we had something like this in the US
@@williambutler7312 Factory or not, that shit looks fun, i must invest in to it god damn.
We need these top speed dirt bike races in USA! So cool!
Once you ve been there you will never forget the scene during the start. Something between the trumpets of Jericho and the Riders of the Apocalypse!
Gives ne instant chills!
That is some crazy high speed for those 450s
Beautiful chaos
Well laid out course
Thank you for posting this
All the best

The Brazilian have some similar...they call it Velocross
You’ve gotta be in incredible shape physically, mentally and one hell of a bike crew ⚡️⚡️🔱
Paging Dr Obvious. Lol kidding. You must have the crap kicked out of you, after a race like that!
For sure. I’m exhausted just watching them for ten minutes. I would be “hungover” for days after. Don’t ask me for anything and someone please load my bike for me lol
I live in San Diego California born and raised so I'm used to the Baja 1000. Guys like Mouse are my favorites. Surf bike Brink rinse-and-repeat
weird how guy out-front actually looked pretty relaxed.................
What a great footage from the helicopter! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Такого я ещё не видел! Крутая пляжная гонка!
старт прикольный
Потом песок доставать будешь даже там, где его быть не должно ))))
Да интересная гонка😀
Согласен и гонка и трасса, крутые!
Поддерживаю коллега)
2 minutes on full throttle, that’s a long assed start straight.
As a Yamaha fan, seeing two of them run the pack made me happy.
Honda rules over here
My best well spent 15 minutes in 2023 already, was here.
That amount of bikes in the same race, never seen this before, now that's how I like to ride 😅
I love it ! At 6:50, after rounding a corner, the camera is angled so you are looking at the riders from behind, and all you can see is every bike throwing roost, you can hardly see then riders for all the roost being thrown up !
Same as "Enduro del Verano" in Argentina. Amazing races!!! Love Enduro ❤️

those at the front on 450cc 4-stroke-weapons I reckon, fantastic footage, grazie mille
In den 80er Honda CR500👍🤘

Still have my YZ 490 , never get rid of it
Unreal how much faster the leaders were!! Awesome race to watch!!
Never saw,anything like that.unreal
90% are amateurs who can hardly ride a bicycle
factory bikes vs everything else
If only they could do races like this in America. 😂 This is a beautiful setup . I think it’s in France 🇫🇷. Awesome.

There’s something beautiful about this kind of racing. They definitely don’t do this in the US but should
Isn't this basic a hare scramble? Without the trees haha.
They have hard Enduro races here. Along with mx endurance races.
Guys ive been SETRA since 1985 and raced in 9 states. We dont do a beach of 90 mph mayhem for what seems like miles
Top demais 🇧🇷🚀
This is one of the most insane things I've ever seen!
Holy crap! I don't know who Kellett is, but he dominated this race. Absolute confidence
The photography is spectacular in this race.
Has to be one if the most tiring endurance events on the planet. The way the elites blow past lapped traffic is incredible.
Great race, never been, Southport is closer! Anyhow, the racing is much the same, but look at that crowd, the attendance is unbelievable.
I used to ride at 7 years old, I miss it a lot.
Unbelievable , need more races like this in OZ. Great riding by the bloke making others look like theyre standing idle. GreT spectacle for the punters in the crowd
Go❤❤
This is nuts!! Imagine the sound in real life 🤯
Really cool bro!!!! Absolyely love this sport!!!! Thi riders areinsane!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤💪💪💪💪💪❤❤❤❤❤
This is the most beautiful motor race I watched.
Haven't you seen this year's video....
Even if you're lap traffic, this kind of racing is so much fun.

Ahhh! Just like a duet in my ears!
2 stroke tenor
4 stroke baritone!
Couldn't be better!
Damn,thats a mile & a half or 2 mile str8 away. Thats a long ways at full tilt. Damn near need rings after that!
You must ride a kawi
Why are they all 4ts?? Anyone know?
@@matthews852 because they are better all around. 2stroke wont finish the race and are from the past nowdays...
@@tna-- I heard one 2T in the crowd revving
50 seconds in the video there is a two-stroke revving

Его до сих пор не могут остановить.
@@staskemerovo42 👍🤣
As an American MX rider, this looks absolutely amazing and like the most fun thing we need to start doing over here
Впервые вижу такие гонки. Неплохо
That Yamaha and rider dominated..
Yammy power! 😎🔥

This is awesome. Probably the best rag dolls ever happened in this race. Damn
Crazy to think that there are this many people willing to enter competitions like this!
Yeah man literally anyone can go wide open in a straight line. Doesn’t require much skill
Wish we had something like this in Australia! Would be great to ride!

This is wild! Amazing to navigate through all those riders
Panjang sekali pantai nya,luar biasa ..
150 km / hour in the sand . Ooft

not in the sand but on the sand bro 🗿
Et on nous fait chier tous les jours à coup de voitures électriques
Hahahaha
I liked the motorbikes the best
These are the things to watch!
WFO on the straits good stuff. Reminds me of Baja
That's an epic shot 4:15
4:15 is such an epic shot. Just imagine seeing this, coming towards you!
so true kkkkkkk
It's amazing how much better Kellett is than everyone else around him, it's not even close. Those last three minutes could easily be part of a movie.
Awesome 👍
You can tell it's going to be good before it starts 🎉
this race is fucking epic! how have i not heard of this!
Its a pretty big deal in france, me and my brother attend that every year, we camp in the dunes with friends, there is also a quad bike race
Hai ragione e EPICA LA FANNO DA DECENNI da ragazzino avrei voluto esserci !!!!!!solo pazzi fanno cose del genere 👍
Que hermoso video
Wow from USA i am mind blown. Would love this in USA
Looks like their running about 95 mph…that’s flying across the sand like that…
Top 💯.. gostaria de ter participado .! 😃 🇧🇷
Thats a lot dirtbike..damn...looks awesome.
Thanks for the video. Where can I watch the full video. Cheers!!

It was like I was watching “Excitebike Live Action” - so cool.
Something about those Yamahas, they are of another breed altogether. I love it. I’m buying new 2024 wr450, hope it’s great too.
That's some hard core shit right there!
I love racing in deep sand . My Best races won in such .
Sweet!!! Glad you get to do it bro!!! Racing a jap bike right? Cheers!!

Никогда не мог понять, как тут можно определить победителя. Ведь у тех кто в первых рядах, шансы многократно увеличиваются.
для этого и есть долгая прямая в начале

Staggering to think how many moving parts are on that beach.
I'm sure I heard a two stroke in there 👍
Whooohhhh! Music to my ears!
that was new and fun for me!
Gotta get some paddles for these boys lol, this is sick.
Лидер гонки на 2м круге в пробку попал, как по городу в междурядье простреливал🤣
Waoo, its very wonderful. I just known n neverseen the racing like this with so many riders
The guy overtaking at the end... Crazy!!
Brutal 🇺🇾
Видимо, подготовка моцика на первом месте, тк круговых обгонял, как стоячих!!!
Там физическая форма куда больше нужна думаю... я не мотоциклист, но общаюсь с такими. На крутом байке сдохнешь и не поедешь быстро.
Lovely love the sand races
Great camera work!
