We're from the S.F. Bay Area ..My dad was a team mechanic for his friend, Joe Leonard back in the 1950's. Joe was three time AMA Grand National Champion, 1954, 56 and 57 before racing Indy cars from 1966 thru 1973. So anyway, I raced AMA Superbikes in the 1980's ..and I think these more complex tracks is a great direction for the Sport, simply because All of Americas past Moto GP champions, from Kenny Roberts, Spencer, Rainey, Lawson, Schwantz, Roberts Jr. and Nicky Haden ...were the last of Americas true flat track racers/champions and I think its fundamental for our boys to get back on the dirt, to pursue more MotoGP championships. Go JD Beach...
@@matthewlewis9996 East coast guy? The name sounds familiar ..didn't he race production classes in the WERA Suzuki Cup series back in the mid 80's?
@@BobbyOfEarth im not sure about that, I'll have to ask him. He was around the Illinois area then Florida. I myself would love to try flat track. I have a 94cr500 that runs like a champ. Im in northern California 45min north of Reno. Doesn't seem to be any tracks around here.
@@matthewlewis9996 - They used to run flat track in Lodi every weekend at the Lodi Cycle Bowl. I don't know if they still hold races. LCB was an institution for many years. It would be hard to imagine that it died.
I miss racing MX. I'm in my late 60's so that was almost like a dream, when I was much younger.
Congrat's JD!! Love seeing the emotion pouring out......you deserved that win 100%!! One hell of a ride!
If you didn't have a smile on your face in JD 's interview your not human ,cheers from down under.
I've been smiling every since I read that he won it and more smiling just now watching it finally.
JD we are cheering for you all the way!! Keep up the great work!! So proud of you, from Mark n Dawn Wilkinson!! Whoo Hooo!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!! :)
BEST TRACK EVER! Keep up the GREAT TT races. Very good racing in all the classes at all of the races so far, it sure is nice to see different riders at the top every week instead of just the same two every time. Now if SUPERCROSS can do the same thing(using there head) or let a rider design the track.
GO J.D. Beach! Come on H.D. your getting there keep it up.....
Being a YAMAHA MAN...... this is awesome.... blue crew #1
Congrats JD... And getting Yamaha back on the Board
I was at this race, I'm pretty sure every single person in the crowd stood up and cheered when he made that pass. Hell of a race.
Thanks for posting these races and for taking some risks with new track styles, I think this is a total winner!
"I don't feel like riding today. Said no motorcycle rider ever."
Gotta love that!
Finally get to watch the race. Love it! Now if AFT
and get a program going like Supercross and Motocross or Motogp,
I'd buy that fast
All these young riders never had the chance to ride the old school TT track in Castle Rock, WA. That tunnel jump was what separated the boys from men.
this is awesome, bringing back the American Classics
I’m watching this from New Zealand, we don’t have racing like this. I really enjoyed this, I reckon kiwis would love this type of racing. I’ll definitely be watching more!
Great show AFT
Nice job jd now kick ass at vir... yeah man.... Hell of a racing.
Bad ass track AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT 😆
Wow ! I dont have pay TV, although I seen highlights, I was hoping this would come up on UA-cam. THANKYOU,THANKYOU ! Hats off to everyone involved, great coverage ! Great racing ! Awesome TT ! And you could feel the excitement from JD ! Congrats to all the racers and teams for a great job !
Awesome races.
Was so stoked to see JD win this then back it up with his first superbike MotoAmerica win!
I knew Shayna and Bromley had been training with Aldon Baker. Didn't know Briar jumped in with them as well. Wonder if Bronson or Jared did as well?
Yet Shayna was outperformed by a 57-year-old man coming out of retirement.
A 57 year old was in this race? You're kidding. What was his or her name?
@@noairplanewaseverfoundatth4336 - It was AMA Supercross, Motocross and Supermoto champion Jeff Ward. He didn't make the main. Meanwhile, Shayna didn't even make the heats (top48 in qualifying)!
I love this sport and want to see it continue to grow. However, for that to happen we need tracks everywhere that kids can ride on and grow into the sport. My kids would've loved this but in south florida there was nowhere to do it. So they played hockey, lacrosse, and football instead. Would be nice to see kids riding dirt track too!
EXCELLENT RACING!!! Love it!!
Beach had way to much fun in that race.
Ascot tt ,held 1'st Saturday every mo.was a good race to spectate until the 500 singles started whooping up on the heavier 750 cc twins ( beating them) then it became boring❗Guys like Eddie Mulder, and a little later Skip Van Lewin were great to watch, along with all the other competitors ❗🎯
@1:00 Nicky Hayden RIP 🙏
I'm a motocross guy. I came for Kristen Beat... ;)
That’s bike life 🤙
Ride safe and ride fast👍
Thats nice TRACK
Very cool Track.
JD BEACH 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Goooooooose bumps!!! 95🏁🙌🏼
race starts at 12:55
Thanks you, I was 7 minutes in and about to ditch it and just browsing through the comments, what the fuck do they think we come here to actually watch ...
looks like so much fun
JD Beach!!
JD!!!!!!!! go
This is a crazy race. you guys should put a joker lap in that track like WRC
インディアン モーターサイクル 懐かしいです!
頑張って下さい!!
Who remembers azcott! In Los Angeles!
I do. I raced there and it was hairy, fast and dangerous. Not like this pussy stuff at all.
That Yammy hooked UP
sick track
I was wondering where Sipes went. He is the first US rider to win ISDE overall
Yes...
Flat trackers do it harder...THIS TRACK IS BITCHEN!!!
I was there
Mantul dah
Looks like flat track racing has turned into supermoto.
@@markmark5269 but supermoto wasn't flat long before "flattrack" racing wasn't flat. Not to difficult to understand huh?. Baseball can't just start playing basketball while calling it baseball for baseball fans coming up to say "yeah but baseball is around way longer then basketball"
@@Davinhomx The AMA grand national series has included TT tracks with jumps since the fifties.
@@Davinhomx Well, I was watching flat trackers like Kenny Roberts and Bubba Shobert launching 10ft in the air flying 90ft at the Peoria TT in the 70s and 80s before ‘supermoto’ was a word.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
i know how to motor but i dont have like that motor that using in motorcross... im fan of motorcross specially in exhibition game
Someone explain to me how this is flat track ?
what is this i never see this sport in my life ? can u guys expl me ?
Used to be a big sport in the 70's in USA. It's called "Flat Track". It's seen a recent rise in interest, probably because the stars in MotoGP all train it alot and built their own tracks. Search for "Superprestigio" on youtube.
In other racing TT stands for Time Trial. What does it mean in flat track?
Tourist Trophy. They borrowed the name from the other kind of motorcycle racing, like Isle of Man TT
Why do these bikes DON'T have the front fender?
Front tires too big on most of them. Tradition look, some classes run no front brake as well
@@nikoschopshop Oh, that's so nice to know!! No front brakes? :O Thanks for the reply! :)
The class there racing has front brakes but the classic way is big wrap around handlebars, big front tire and no front brake
I’m so hungry
Looks closer to supermoto with a track that hard
The first minute and a half is damn near unbearable.
Look like motor ranch in italia.... the owner is no.46 😏👌
Compared to motocross this is like watching paint dry.
libertyn jeopardy Eh these TT tracks aren’t bad. The basic flat round tracks are boring as hell.
It's not even a flat track, more like supermoto , and there's way too much chatting.
I guess if your really not a motorcycle person or just a cry baby you might not like it! But there are a $hit load of us who are and LOVE all bike racing, and we live and let live instead of complaining!
@Bret Coleman : it's not a oval and it's not flat ? And the single cylinder class are dirt bikes with different wheels and tires , they seem to be moving away from the original flat track racing of old, that was the point I was making! As for a cry baby and not liking bikes you couldn't be more wrong , and the only one complaining like a big girl is you.
post a video of you riding harder than these guys even on flat pavement, then we'll talk.
ADS ADS ADS More track less yak!
It would have been nice if they actually explained the nuances of this new track, ffs. Damn, poor way to introduce a new product. Like standard flat track is....A TT track incorporates.....and a Super TT has....and is laid out with x, y and z.
they skiped 5 laps WTF IM WATCHING MOTOCROSS
So uhh not flat?
Would like to see atv lap times compared to these guys.
Jeff Ward > Shayna Texter, even in 2019! KTM Red Bull should hire Wardy, he'd get them rather nice results, specially when compared to Failna.
i you wanna jump go to motocross i think flat track should be as it says flat track .....the oldest form of racing is still the best
This is just speedway with slower bikes
/yawn
450s boring should just brake out a scooter they got there place but not flat track powder puff cc
intro total fucking b/s self serving crap video game playing .. god do better the the hype shit ... its a fucking moto-x .. what part of ''flat track'' do you not understand ..no one gives a fuck about this shit ..
Where in Arizona is the TT RACE TRACKS?...oh Chandler? 🏜️ I lived there but don't know where the track is.
Also is there more than 1 TT TRACK?
I RACED TT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
NBC/SN thanks for saving AFT by getting it on UA-cam each week. You are getting the job done.
