Josh Grant and Cody Cooper ride the JGRMX supercross track July 7, 2009. Grant rides a YZ250 two stroke to prepare for X-Games best whip. Heavy D is on hand as well.
Seems people are forgetting that you have to know how to ride when you throw a leg over a two-stroke. When you hop from a 4T to a 2T, yes, you will experience "bottom end loss." But what makes two strokes great, especially two stroke riders is that they have to actually RIDE the bike. You've gotta know your bike, where the power band sits, and how to keep the engine at a steady RPM to keep it screaming. Once you've got it dialed in and realize how much of a supreme experience it is to throw a two-smoker around...you'll never want another 450 again...well, that is; if you aren't lazy ;)
i personaly would like to see JG race a 2 stroke instead of a 4 stroke it would make me happy to see someone having fun on a two stroke and bringing dirt bike racing back to its roots
He was not able to race due to his shoulder being very sore from the crash practicing the Tuesday before the race. He got last because he did not start.
Too bad Josh Grant is always hurt, JGR was a good team for him. He is fast outdoors, not so much in supercross. Still I enjoy watching him ride..............
LOVE that sound! Cody would look good if he road it for an hour. Guys are spolied now on the long draw of the 4 bangers. Of course...Cody anit payin to rebuild his 450!!! I had to and it was the last one I bought! BBRRAAAAPPP!
@hernandezMX10 ok, 4 strokes are more suited to the incompetent rider as they are so easy to ride you dont need to work the bike that hard where as the 2 stroke you need to be constantly up and down the box working the bike to get its full potential and if they are for girls i take it travis pastrana is one since he prefers the 2 stoke
My 1991 cr500 puts 56 hp STOCK. with the FMF pipe and silencer its about 60 hp. If you cant feel the power on a two stroke then ur riding it wrong. Like Grant said, keep it pinned.
@den2531 well seeing as your asking this question i'm going to go on a limb here and guess your not a big rider, if you grew up riding bikes and started with 2 strokes its definitely better to run a 125, easy and cheap rebuilds just not a bike for everyone to race. but the 250f is 100% more easier to race constant power dont gotta clutch alot for corners, but if you kill a 250f its gunna make your pocket sore
it just seems that every generation is getting lazier. they want it eiser and soon there is no challenge to it anymore. Yes the 4 strokes are alot esier to ride, expecialy on a tight track, but it takes the fun out of the challenge, and WTF? electric starter on dirt bikes. When i was a kid playing a video game and you died, you started all over from the begining, now it's like infinant guy's and dieing is only a minor set back. but i will say that nothing beats the sound of a fine tuned 2 STROKE
i think they should make a yz500 cause im 12 and i ride a raced out yz250 ive done every thing i can do to get more speed out of it fmf pipie v force reeds and a 270 bigbore kit and high comprsion rings in it and still dosent have enofe power for me
I hate listening to them talk about the 2-stroke powerband. "oh theres no low end blah blah" what you rode 4-stroke your entire life? Gotta be kidding me
@m1n7y i dont really care which kind of bike is better... i prefer to ride a 450f than a 250s both bike are aswome if you know how to ride them... i know how to ride them both i just dont like 2 strokes no big deal
its because the 2 stroke has no engine brake.....so your corner speed is alot faster and thats where all the time is made up. i have a 09 kawi 450 and a 04 rm 250 and my lap times are faster on the 250. but the 4 strokes are so much easier to ride, makes people lazy
i dont get what josh is talkin about. i guess if he hadnt ridden it in a while then he would have a hard time transitioning. but i race a 125, 250 2stroke, and a 450 all in one day... six motos and its not that hard to transition...?

Separates the men from the boys.
i miss the days at the Anaheim sx with that premix race fuel smell and the sound of a killer bee hive.
Last whip was insane and the sound of that two stroke on the whoops
watching someone ride a 2 stroke is so much more exciting in my opinion
josh grant- favorite rider
i personaly would like to see JG race a 2 stroke instead of a 4 stroke it would make me happy to see someone having fun on a two stroke and bringing dirt bike racing back to its roots
grant is badass.
he'll get a win this outdoor season. i gaurentee it.
I love Josh Grant! He's not a top 3 rider week in and out, but he's fast, got great style and a super chill dude.
This is the bike all pro's should ride!
a beast + 2-stroke= BRAAAP
josh grant can whip that 2 stroke pretty good, must be because its so light, haha, BRAAAP, 2 stroke for life
He was not able to race due to his shoulder being very sore from the crash practicing the Tuesday before the race. He got last because he did not start.
I can walk to this track 😭😭😭literally right up the road
LOL dude that 2stroke is NASTY !!! its soo much sicker than the 4 !!
wow that bike at the start sounds sooo crispy lol :)
two strokes sound so sweet in the whoops
Too bad Josh Grant is always hurt, JGR was a good team for him. He is fast outdoors, not so much in supercross. Still I enjoy watching him ride..............
the echo from the 2 stroke is unreal, makes me wanna go riding now!
Ill take DAT good ole sound of DAT 2 stroke on Dem whoopee cushions all day !!!
well said , i clutch band 4 days on the 2 stroke that's what makes it fun
I agree with MRGOAT a 2 stroke only supercross would be SWEET!
sick video. 2 strokes all the way
that cat watering truck is sick haha
Listen to the echo of the 2 strokes whoaaaah nice to hear
ahhh music to my ears
cool vid. i wish you got more video of other parts of the track then just the whoop section & triple but still great vid.
yeh they do design the tracks for 4 strokes but i give guys on 2's that many more props for being able to tear up a track
hes practicing , hes gonna enter x games best whip contest
goin through the whoops: wa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
music to my ears.
it would be awsome to see 1 supercross race this year where it was only 2 strokes that would be cool
LOVE that sound! Cody would look good if he road it for an hour. Guys are spolied now on the long draw of the 4 bangers. Of course...Cody anit payin to rebuild his 450!!! I had to and it was the last one I bought! BBRRAAAAPPP!
That's a nice 2 stroke dirtbike you got there
It's possible, sorry if I infringed on your copy write. It just really seemed to fit here. And I'm prob gunna wear it out cause I like it so much....
@hernandezMX10 ok, 4 strokes are more suited to the incompetent rider as they are so easy to ride you dont need to work the bike that hard where as the 2 stroke you need to be constantly up and down the box working the bike to get its full potential and if they are for girls i take it travis pastrana is one since he prefers the 2 stoke
you can hear the sound of the two-stroke echo
My 1991 cr500 puts 56 hp STOCK. with the FMF pipe and silencer its about 60 hp. If you cant feel the power on a two stroke then ur riding it wrong. Like Grant said, keep it pinned.
If you aint mixin gas you aint kickin ass!!!!!!
heavy D does it dirty
things sounds tuff
Grant makes coops look like a slug on that heavy and slow four stroke...
yes
real cool vid untill 2:06 when you hear the dumb 4 stroke haha!
the 2 stroke going through the whoops sounds soooo nice.
listen to that diesel. I'd take the 2T anyday
she sound good
Nice to see Grant getting it done on the 2 stroke....awsome..Question..is Cody Guy Coopers son?
well said
because 2 strokes rulesss !!! ahuahauhaua
black kid at the end goes hard
i love 2stroke im keeping my cr125 forget a 4stroke
Heavy D has a dirty whip!
@den2531 well seeing as your asking this question i'm going to go on a limb here and guess your not a big rider, if you grew up riding bikes and started with 2 strokes its definitely better to run a 125, easy and cheap rebuilds just not a bike for everyone to race. but the 250f is 100% more easier to race constant power dont gotta clutch alot for corners, but if you kill a 250f its gunna make your pocket sore
I have those pants Cody has on lol

I'm thinking of doing the same thing
heavy d cant talk too good, but he can whip purdy nice
cody is my brother and sisters cousin, not mine as we have different dads but yeah, he's a good kant, can make a sound like a tasmanian devil lol :D
to feel if the bike is fully warmed up
@Katoom144sx ...actually you do
yeah i wish my kx still sounded like that i gues its time to repack the silencer LOL
Go Yamaha!!!
He rode a 2 stroke for the best whip contest because its lighter
im sure he is
The 4 stroke sounds ridiculous when there's a 2 stroke on the same track
i think they should make a yz500 cause im 12 and i ride a raced out yz250 ive done every thing i can do to get more speed out of it fmf pipie v force reeds and a 270 bigbore kit and high comprsion rings in it and still dosent have enofe power for me
@hOnDaRaCeRr
he sure is. (:
@AirsoftDemon1 hahaha hey mabey it doesnt have enough power cause you dont shift to 2nd gear
2 stroke is music
sucks he came in dead last in saturdays race right behind reed. i would like to see grant do good, if not win this season
I hate listening to them talk about the 2-stroke powerband. "oh theres no low end blah blah" what you rode 4-stroke your entire life? Gotta be kidding me
is there any vids of heavy d actualy riding?
@mluman83 HAHAHAA awesome
@m1n7y i dont really care which kind of bike is better... i prefer to ride a 450f than a 250s both bike are aswome if you know how to ride them... i know how to ride them both i just dont like 2 strokes no big deal
Love the bike?
I wonder what modsnare on grants 2 stroke
@pcyz250 i kno what u mean. 4 strokes are so predictable, there no where near as exciting to watch. especially when that someone is pro :D
Why do people put their hand in front of the exhaust? 1:20.
to warm it up
the only thing wrong with this vid is the dirty 4 stroke sound in the background !!
@m1n7y i dont ride 2 strokes....those are for girls
u ever ridden a stroke hernandezmx10?
its because the 2 stroke has no engine brake.....so your corner speed is alot faster and thats where all the time is made up. i have a 09 kawi 450 and a 04 rm 250 and my lap times are faster on the 250. but the 4 strokes are so much easier to ride, makes people lazy
fmf or procircuit?
...tank's for no music...
i underestimated heavy D lmao
Heavy d go away
Mods are*
i know that, his a good rider but he cant ride the yz 250 like stewart was on the ride with the fan day, now let me get back to finish this video lol
Why is there a 4-stroke on a 2-stroke ride day??? haha
Whay is there a 4-stroke ona 2-stroke ride day??? haha
If you want bottom end get a 500.
@BAYAREAMX if the 450 is so slow why dose every one ride them hhmmm
i dont get what josh is talkin about. i guess if he hadnt ridden it in a while then he would have a hard time transitioning. but i race a 125, 250 2stroke, and a 450 all in one day... six motos and its not that hard to transition...?
bang*
im gonna make me 60 dolla
it shouldnt be that hard. just get the people that run the 2 stroke nationals to run supercross.
Pisses me off
Got no bottom end this that the other
Jg with the regulations 250 vs 250 you would of taken the the 2 stroke over a 250f
All day
lolllll
fmf
we meet again overused comment .........
Who was the young heavy D? did he race? Where is he now?
it aint fast if it aint mixed gas!!!!
