Red Bull really dropped the ball on the best story here, Jordan Ashburn riding a 20 year old stock Kawasaki KDX200 and finished 11th overall is nothing short of amazing, Red Bull should pay a bit more attention to more than just the top 2 riders of an event, take a chance with some more personal and compelling stories than just the same cookie cutter coverage that everybody does, a little creativity and effort goes a long ways.
Red bull never makes mistakes with their videos homeboy
100% agree with you. I noticed the KDX in a couple of shots and was really impressed he was keeping up with all those fancy machines!
@@chrissanger 11th place out of 15 in the final. 26 pros total. Not bad on a 1998 KDX!
Kawasaki and KTM and pretty much everyone else especially redbulls preferred sponsors do not want to showcase that. That would not sell new bikes.
@@chrissanger
Nnb
My guy on the KDX is the winner in my book.
Yeah lol I gotta kdx 250 idk how that guys doing it
FOR REAL. Having owned a KDX...I almost fainted when I saw it.
There's a reason that Jeff Fredette raced the ISDEs on KDXs for the last 30 years :)
💯
Bro honestly 😂
Jordan Ashburn, a guy riding a bike that hasn't changed since 1995, going up against factory supported racers, on the latest high tech bikes, and coming in 11th in one of the gnarliest races in the world. Ashburn is a beast IMO!
Thats who was on the kdx?
@@ethanhopper432 Yes, Ashburn was the only guy on a KDX in the 3rd race. There was also another rider on one but didn't qualify for the 3rd race.
racist film makers
WildAzz, you still got your KDX?
I’ve seen some guys in Germany they competed in a enduro World Series event on their original 87 factory MZ bikes ( they won the 6 days race that year)
They were still quite competitive
God bless that crazy bastard riding around in the RBSS on an old KDX
There were actually two KDXs! One of them ridden by Jordan Ashburn made it pretty far.
On that course a KDX isn't going to be a disadvantage. They are barely moving anyway. The only thing he is giving up is the electric start.
My KDX was the best 200 cc I ever raced . I had all types all brands.
Still love Husqvarna though.
Cody Webb: *get on screen*
Commentators: *LONG LEGS intensifiles*
With due respect to all riders, The Legend here has to be "Jordan Ashburn" 11th place riding an H-Series KDX Kawasaki , An awesome bike that did not change from 1995 - 2006, and here he is in 2020 competing in a "Hard Enduro" Race, I take my hat off to you Jordan You & your bike are both Legends!!! Awesome Result .
It's great he is getting his money's worth out of that bike, but if you look at what they are doing the only advantage the new bikes have is electric start. If he placed in a GNCC, that would be a feat. I raced a KDX for 15 and they are great at the slow stuff.
That's a awesome ride right there buddy I'm telling you that joker right there where you was at a disadvantage riding a motorbike like that but I'm telling you what that was some kind of good riding if you done that good Levin place on a stock kdx200 I used to ride one of them but I'm big and fat now but anyway man you done great man that was great
Would’ve honestly rather watched his POV of this race
This legend on the KDX chasing the guys on their brand new bikes. A better bike might have helped him at least 5 places.
Should be a trophy for that , call it " the KDX challenge"
Hahah I saw that right at the beginning and couldn't believe it. Dude is the 🐐
Well, that thing was less HP than the newer machines, less wheelspin, violence, less strain on wrists & elbows, less fatigue.of course, it has more primitive suspension, but in this chunky terrain, more go isn't necessarily an advantage. Dude also has less pressure to perform, no one was expecting him to do well;
Props to him for a good ride!
Good riding is more important than truck hardware
I love my KDX, wish they would bring it back with just touch more power, a few pounds less but same low seat height and same compliant suspension and chassis. Also it was crazy at my last race, of all the bikes in the pits everyone was most interested and talking about my KDX, they all loved seeing it racing with the new bikes.
Got to respect the KDX for sure. Looked completely stock down to the graphics. And not to mention it's kick start.
S/o to the guy braving this course on a KDX
Why won’t the casters talk about that bloody legend?
@@markmartir6932 I know that anoyyed me dude needs needs some respect thats impressive
Jordan ashburn professional gncc rider
I did a double take!!
I still ride mine competivly..... Love her she is my old dog....
*price of old KDXs go up 250%*
38:31 best coverage of Jordan Ashburn on that old KDX. ....and pucking out coolant
I did this for 25 years and it was the best part of my 65 years except my family.
the ads every 2 minutes and cut away/commentary bits every 30 seconds made this hour long video insanely watchable
The announcer takes me back to when i was a little kid glued too the tv watching twitch and all the og riders on xgames😂🤙
You know you’re old when you remember when Selema had dreads at Xgames Lol
And when he used to go by just “Sal” hah
@@lucasblanchard47 I honestly thought I was going crazy thinking that he used to go by Sal. Threw me off when he said his full name.
@@TrippyRaptor86 right?!
Who is the guy on the kawasaki? I have never seen anyone participate in an hard Enduro race on a kawa. Big props
jordan ashburn
@@ryansmifh Is he NOT a factory Beta rider anymore?
@@hemisuperzee1287 His bike for some reason was not operational so he borrowed the KDX from his dad.
Is it a bird ?.A plane??
NO ITS KDXMAN🤟
I'm still riding my 2004 kdx 200 after all these years... Been on the new bikes but for the money, I can't get off of it quite yet.
The beatings and comebacks when exhausted are nothing short of the real SICK! Damn Tennessee looks tough.
I've grown up riding in Tennessee and it is really fun but it's also super dangerous, you can be on a flat one second and the next your almost going straight down.
Enduro is prolly the best thing ever.
So they basically just had a really long mma fight with their own bike.
Jeez, am I the only one imagining trials bikes crushing this course with relative ease?
ith not with ease but yea a trials bike miigth woek very well for this
This is so tough that 99% of the people playing it on PS4 give up.
This is some of the best XC riding filming i have ever seen... THANK YOU!
These are the bikes on craigslist listed as " Wife's bike for sale, she stopped ridding so I'm letting it go, lightly used" lmao
Welcome to Tennessee, lived here my whole life, still not use to the heat.
Agreed. Been in East TN about 18 years now and still not used to it! 🤣
I wish enduro riding got more play. A man and his machine, name another sport like it!
The host was awesome!
I’ve had lots of Mx bikes. And kdx is still my favorite over all bike. Also I’m born and raised in. Sevierville Tn. Lil over hour from where they are. Most beautiful place in the world east Tn. Mountains
Jordan Ashburn not even having an electric start is brutal, stalling it in a weird spot happens all the time in this kind of riding and since the kickstart is on the same side as the rear brake taking your foot off the brake to kick the bike can make you slide down the hill because just the front won't always hold you if it's steep and slick
That's some nasty terrain that will really test and push the limits of ones skills.Does look like what id call fun riding..
Lucky for Cody none of the euro riders aren't there , this makes him look good lol.
Excited to see Jarvis or Manny come race it; show em how it's done....
Yeah!!! U saw that thing and said to myself wow!!! I used to have one of those KDX 200,s Rock solid bike!!!👍
Looks like it would be faster to leave the bike at the start line and run instead
It would.
An awesome rough terrain race. Well done young man 🤙🏻🇨🇦🏍
Well done all riders
Grew up in these hills. Riding since I was 12. My advantage was a strong grip and forearms built from stiff arming 12 ft 5/8 drywall for 20 yrs.
This group is radical👊😎🇺🇲
Este grupo é radical👊😎🇧🇷
Felicidades Benjamin Herrera en una competencia muy exigente lograste tercer lugar 👏👏👏
Love seeing hard enduro growing in the 🇺🇲
Watching Sipes struggle at 31:00 makes me feel so much better about my riding.
KDX rider 💪 RESPECT 👍
Who else lives 1 hour away from the TKO? If so where you there? It was awesome if you haven’t been you need to go it is awesome.
I'm 1.5 hrs away. Been there before. I just need a sponsor bike. 😁
When you realise that 90% of the real hard enduro riders are NOT from the US :D
It’s been a popular sport in Europe for a long time, it’s very new in America.
and Then you realize that most of the Real riders arent even at this event.
Because there aren't very many trials guys out there and all the top hard enduro start in trials.
@@nostranger2u Not all. Wade Young doesn't have a Trials background. But definitely the vast majority
@@joshuavanzuydam5044 Nearly all at the top ARE former world- class trials riders.
After seeing some of the terrain Trystan is practicing on in BC, I see why he's getting so good!
We do have some of the best riding up here in BC eh.
@@ryanhobbs3362 we talking revelstoke?
RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS
The announcer guy said 15 huge complicated words just to say it's slick out in the woods 😂
Gonna be a PITA - The TKO is not held in the Great Smoky Mountains.
So why didnt you folks even mention the KDX rider ,,can only think might be a bit bias ,,looked like he did a hell of a show,KUDOS KDX RIDER,,Any sponsors yet???
Hes a GNCC regular top 5 finisher, a AA pro from that series. Must have stuck in on his old fav KDX dirt bike as its not in his GNCC series contract id guess. Was a factory Beta rider a few years ago. I dont keep up with who rides for who anymore.
Was cody webb injured last season. The announcers didn't mention it.
Kawasaki! Where is our KDX300? I vote for Cody Webb to lead team green 👍
Sounds better than a KLX300......
Welcome to the south boys!!!
Holy crap I remember Sal Masekela from when I was a kid at X Games VIII. So cool to see him still around the sport
Roses are red voilets are blue this is cool and so are you
Enduro is life.
Sal's gained some weight since the series started years back.
Ok dud dont be mean to him
He cut his hair so his actual weight has stayed the same.
@@believe8263 i miss the dreads
@@jordanlund3132 He’s probably saved them in a box somewhere. You should ask if you can have them.
That's cus it's not Sal, it's Selema.
I know all about that heat, being in florida that humidity is no joke, they didnt even mention having a blazing hot engine under you and heat rises. Had an hour ride home in the midst of summer along beachside in shorts and a tee. 60-70mph and I still could not cool off, had to stop multiple times. Anxiety comes into play lol. These guys are freaking warriors man.
couldnt even imagine how my clutch hand would feel after this lmfao
Awesome coverage! More of this sport!👌
Excited for this year!
hi
When is it?
@@Drayelam21 Aug.13-15
This race was just one county away. I didn't even know it was going on😟. Maybe next year.
Why don't you do such a beautiful service anymore? It's a real pity.
That moment when you realize you're gettin old, and miss the good times of biking watching this clip.... 😒
go get a 450 and enjoy life
Its this love. I am feeling. Its this true love. There Ill be searching for. Its this love. What am I feeling. Its this true love...
Quoting White snake??? Seriously???
Looks like a 2001 KDX love it
Fun to hear GL announcing hard enduro!
Been going to Tennessee for decades. All I can say is “ look out for the ticks and chiggers” they are brutal as the humidity !
Felicidades un super evento 😊
Was that an old Kawie in that field i think i got a glimpse of it an old bike at the fallen tree... doing it proud .... and more so to the rider Jorden with the smoke coming out HAHAHA , WTF,,, l just read down the comments not going to change my post causes they are all right , great job dude really good job mate !!!!! ...
Looking sharp Sal. Like that shirt. Greetings from Carlsbad, CA.
Tennessee looks like a rad place to ride! will have to check it out.
can these bikes use Recluse clutches?
I love Red Bull for this content. You are the best!
Cory Ashburn 13th on a 1920’s Kawi?
Got a kdx220 my self there not as heavy ss yall think and with the proper mods are absolute woods weapons. Ask jeff fredette have won many on his. Shoutout to this dude showing everyone up on the old kdx. Been looking to do a enduro with mine.
I raced a KDX220 in scrambles for 15 years. They people claiming it is at a big disadvantage at this race don't know them well. The only major disadvantage is the kick start.
Much more of this please !!!!
Good riding from Trystan Hart go Canada :)
I live close to the trials training center and I can say it is very slick no matter where you are
Is it open to the public?
Yes. It's open to the public. Just call ahead make sure they're open.
@@Jlow67WV Thanks!
Minute 15 some crazy guy in a Kawasaki kx 500😂😂
These guys are in for a shock when the European riders come to town.
So, Keith Curtis is 32 years old and he has won THIRTY snowmobile world championships in his life...so...how many snowmobile championship races are held each year?!
Different classes 600s vs 800s stock, modified, open modified hes the type of guy that enters all of them and then wins half of them.
It seems being talented on a motorbike isn't enough.........fitness and athleticism definitely counts too
So, was that 4 manufacturers in the first 4 bikes? Awesome to see the variety in the lineup for the finals.
Screw that track. These guys deserve better!
i've walked about every inch of that course and the camera angles don't do the drops justice. it's a mess in there. Very hard to ride it and I grew up there, riding it.
Grande Herrera!!!
Masha'Allah, this channel is excellent, I recommend it.
Dang that’s tough!
Dat KLX doe!!!!
Awesome skills!
It never looks as hard on screen
The announcers need to be given a map this race is held a good 2 hour drive away from the Smokey Mountains. It's actually held in the Cumberland plateau area of the state close to an area I spent many days in riding and hunting in when I was a kid. Its in the community of Sequatchie Tennessee on Coppinger Cove Road. We had a cabin when I was a kid up in Indian cove which was a few miles past where the blacktop ends on this road....
That humidity is a killer.
The fact this is my average riding everyday on these trails makes me wanna enter next year lol
Record it and prove it
Incredible win✅✅✅✅✅
Para los que quieran competir en una KDX recuerden modificarla para hard enduro , instalen un electroventilador,coolant jjj y protecciones metálicas,un kit de pistón especial para la práctica porque el sistema KIPS sobrecalienta mas ya que no fue pensado para trialeras
I remember watching red bull signature like 4 years ago and it is still the same guy salemA
Awesome KDX @ 4:47 & 5:52 :-)
Billy bolt will kick all their assess
Tennessee laughs at your bikes. Tellico would've been more of a challenge but they shut that down awhile back
Dude you rock, Great win man. God Bless you.
Someone should give whoever chooses the corse a mental evaluation.
