Drop some more video ideas below!
Simple....Get RC out there with ya a few laps....maybe even Bubbles? Ill grab
a toolbox to fix the internet after that.
more 250 2 stroke action please
You should get rc out there
Head to head, 250sx and 450sxf
@@chuckmcentee6387 boom!!! RC4 CR22
You should set up a 20-lap 2-stroke only race with you, RC, Bubba and K-Dub. That race would sell some pay-per views
With POV cams, that would be awesome.
Maybe a 10 Lap Main, Don't think K-Dub could keep pace up for 20 ;)
@@douglaskoonce2097 more like endurance 😅 they got the technique and skill to ride supercross again it’s just endurance
I agree, I'd love to see that!
don't forget , DV12 !!
Imagine if he took the championship bike to a supercross at the end of the season and got her into the main. I reckon that would definitely receive a standing ovation.
Would be sick
Unfortunately the AMA only allows a bike to be 5 years or newer to enter into a pro event like a Supercross. And yes, I’m extremely fun at parties..
And then he told matthes, keefer and JT to suck it afterwards
Too bad there's a homogalation rule I might have spelled it wrong but it means you can only use bikes that are so many years old but there's plenty of other series we could race that bike against others
Would be just as exciting if he qualified on a KTM or modern YZ, any 2T.
This is the peak! It cant get better than this! Chad Reed on a 250 two stroke and that factory Yamaha. I get goosebumps all over!
Old school Reed! King of the world on top of a Yamaha. Thank you for the memories! Love that 2 stroke braaap! Back in the days when you showed the world you came to work and did not disappoint!
Lord have mercy!!! That fast POV lap at 4'30, man! Chad still has hit, and hits it hard!
My new best vid, hat down!
How I missed that roary sound of the 250, thank you...
Always thought of Reed as an enemy being a R.C fan. But man I've really grew to appreciate Chad Reed and love the 2 stroke stuff keep bringing the 🔥 🤙
This is everything... this is what motorcross needs to be again.. thankyou chad and Ellie for this
Smiling. That’s what 2 strokes do to a rider especially remembering the good ol days. We need more videos like this.
The sound through the whoops is like a walk down memory lane. Perfection
Sincerely, no words. Everything Chad does in this video is his expression and his life's passion. Anything we could say would be an injustice. Thank you, Chad Such a blessing to all of us! "Human first, athlete second!" Sovereign words to live by.
This might be one of the best videos on UA-cam. Clear, crisp 2 stroke sound and good riding without any annoying music to ruin the mood.
8 minutes of pure joy. That's all the sound track we need. 👌
The sound of that 2 Stroke and Reed Blitzing through those whoops is insanely awesome!!!!!
I ride an 03 yz250 simply because of this man. Wont go to an aluminum frame ever. Mad Love REEDY💪
These factory 2 bangers from back in the day are to supercross what the v10's were to Formula 1. They are iconic and define the sport and the era. And 2 strokes in general put a smile on your face in a way no other bike can, you can just see it written all over Chad's face.. Nostalgia.
🔥that’s the chad reed I remember as a kid and growing up. Yamaha 2 smoker. Love it 🔥👊🔥🏍🏍🏍 u look faster and more into the Moto on that bike boss. Just unreal how many wins and Laps u have on those bikes. Maybe one day u show us your trophy and helmet collection
Brings back memories for a lot of us! Thank you for all the entertaining years! Remember little Deven with the blue hair? He did a photo shoot with you for a catalog. You wrote him a personal letter. He still has it. Sat on your bike in the pits at Anaheim back in the champion years. Those were some memorable years for us. Thank God I ended up with your signed jersey when you were the champ. Dev and I still follow you. We were there from the start and enjoy watching your videos of the family. Keep it up Chad! You Rock!!!
The sound of how free reving that engine is in the air and how crisp it is when it's barking 4th gear out the turn before the whoops and just gets straight to the pipe after it gets on top of the whoops, it was truly an art to ride a 2 stroke and Chad was/is Picasso
Yes on those memories! Even for moms/wife’s whose guys rode those 2 strokes back in the day. The sound makes me smile.
so wish they would let you race a super cross on the ol blue. Still would make the mains easy. love it..
Awesome! 2 strokes are so much more satisfying to ride and watch! 🤙
This makes me so happy. You’re a legend Chad! Long live 2 strokes.
You cannot convince me that current factory bikes sound better than this. Ugh eargasm!!!
Watching you rip on your old bike is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time for real. Still know how to get in there and get it done. That Yamaha sounds absolutely amazing . I could smell the premix oil and race fuel through my screen. That smell burning my eyes never gets old. Thanks for putting this amazing video together for us to enjoy Chad Blessings to you and your family brother!
Awesome
Would love to see Chad rock an AMA Supervross event on that beast
So cool to see this 2 stroke 250 and thr emotion it brings out in chad and Ellie. You don't get that with 4 strokes.
Would love to see some more in depth videos about the bikes.
bringing back the memories as a youngster for sure!! Was my idol for racing and keeping fit! 2005 bar to bar was absolutely epic!! Best season in my opinion!!!
03-04 this bike was hitting woops and turns faster than covid hit the world lol
This takes me back to when I was little and rooting for you to win that Championship. Amazing video man, 10/10. Best "return to 2-strokes" ever.
Ow my gosh chad that brings tears of joy to see you ripp it on the yz smoker the memories flooded my mind god bless you sir god bless you 22!!!!!
Best thing I watched today! So snappy and crisp!
Legendary rider & YZ... must be insane still having the bikes and reminiscing!
It was so cool to see Chad riding this past weekend in St. Louis. It was the Highlight of the night. I had my favorite riders to be in the tope 10 and they all did what they needed to. The other cool part was that MM25 won overall. Well-deserved and I am sure Tomac thought that was cool but wasn't going to give his spot away in front on the last moto. Marvin tried to get it, but Eli was on point.
Chad you are a great Ambassador for the sport, and you can see it in your face, you Love everything about being on two wheels, Your Kids or you or your Wife supporting you on the sidelines, Your Like JS7 with that grin of living a dream.
That was the best 20 lap main event I've watched in ages! Helmet cam footage especially was mint as 👌
Right on !!! Luv seeing you on the 2 stroke Yamaha !!! Thanks for sharing this with us !!! 22 is Awesome !!
Chad you are the man!!!!!!!! Never lost a step and still got it, great video keep the coming.
Ah yes, the memories of days gone by. Still sending it I see. Love it!
Favourite bike and rider of all time, what an era of supercross that was.🙌
I died and went to Heaven. Yup, this must be the music the good lord plays for our ears. I know what you and your wife mean with turning back that clock. What would I give to know what I know now at 42, and be 22 again. That made me tear up a bit Chad. Great video.
Fastest man to ever hit the whoops, love to hear his bike go across them. You go Champ!!!!!!
What a great video, no overdubbed music or anything just straight 2 stroke music for 90%, also great to hear your thoughts on the bike now vs the 450. Would love to know what Chad was thinking about when he said he’d do things a little different if he could go back in time?
CHAD THATS WHY YOUR A LEGEND BROTHER,THAT WAS SO GOOD.YOU SMASH THE WHOOPS AND THE SOUND OF A 2 STROKE IS THE BEST.
Absolutely awesome! It's funny how you know the mannerisms and styles of these top riders and they never change. Same legs when going off a jump, same butt, same arm position and body position. Only Chad Reed looks like that. If it was Ricky, same thing. Great production, Chad, I know that took some time with all the cameras and editing but it came out great! Fricken miss 2-strokes! I was pissed when it went to 4-stroke. I would go to the nationals and it felt empty. My girlfriend who never rode but went to a few races didn't want to go anymore after 4-strokes. Same with some of my friends.
Hopefully this will motivate your kids to feel like, whoa, that was powerful! I want to go that fast. That's what motivated me back in the day.
Thank you for all you give I’ve seen you as a boy and a man and it’s still amazing to see you now love you.
Just a clear reminder on what Mr. Reed can do on a two stroke. Thanks for bringing it Chad!
That was so awesome to watch and hear!!!!!! As much as I love my 4 stroke, I will never forget the sound and all the years on a 2 stroke!!! Thanks for that video!!! 💪🏽💪🏽
Oh man I love it, when chad took a lap at the supercross race when he went thru the whoops I got chills all over nothing like that sound
Takes me straight back to when I was 9yo watching you take on the world, Aussie Aussie Aussie 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
You so badass Reed, and man Mrs Reed the emotion at the end there was beautiful. You two are such a pleasure to watch
Gosh what I’d pay to see a full gate of these race a supercross track again 🙏
Not a single dislike. Who could hate this? This is pure nostalgia at its highest point.
YES!! so good to see Reedy on te Awesome YZ250 Dinga!! , brings back some great memories , Dam dude you still got it
Absolutely LOVE seeing and hearing this!
So satisfying watching and listening to that 2 stroke. Happy to see you ride that bike chad
Chad looks so comfortable on the 2 stroke, dare I say it I reckon he would be faster on the 2 stroke than his 450 4 stroke, would be awesome to see you race this bike again
Seen the title.. I clicked, watched , Impressed! Chad the video was perfect! Now I’m going to watch it again
Wow man!
Still a “Bad Ass” Chad!!!
Always great to see you on that bike rippin’ a supercross track!
All hail the 22 on the 2! 🔥🔥🔥
That 250 sounds super crisp! I turned my volume up. 2-stroking rocks! You still look smooth and fast to me bro. I grew up in Gboro not far from yall. Im 52 now but i gotta get over there and hit the track next time im in town with my KX! Things look great! Thanks for the Vids!
The Thunder from Down under back at it!!!! Love it!!!!
I love hearing your thoughts and opinions on bikes. I've always preferred the steel frame over aluminum myself, I'm pumped to hear one of the greatest ever to race has the same preference.
For real though seeing you on a yz250 brings me back to the good Ole days as well!
So awesome to see!!
Man I just had major flashbacks! Good times! This was my golden era!
So Rad!! One of my favorite bikes the YZ 250! I wish they still raced two strokes.
I really enjoyed watching you at St Louis in person, you were working it hard, Thanks for the memories.
You're definitely making the main on this thing! 🔥
Holy crap!! Chad pounding the whoops is a thing of beauty!! The whoops aren't afraid of Chuck Norris, they afraid of Chad!!!!
So awesome reedy would watch you race every Sunday in Western Australia.
Loved the listening to your thoughts and memory’s of back in the day 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺✊🏼
Best video on UA-cam!! You were my hero in 03 I was 15 my mom supprided me with a 03 yz250 with racetech suspension set up for Scott O Herret who was a privateer sx racer who had 50lbs on me and it had procircit platinum pipe with r304 looked just like your bike with the factory style graphics and I was stoked best bike I ever rode to this day best suspension I felt invencable also had the Thor gear I had to get you looked sick in! The blue white and tan! I had poster of you and your bike with mag cutouts all over my wall you a legend I hope to see you at a race some day✊👊🙌
Love it always a class act and such an awesome family. Thanks for the videos
huge fan of chad and 2 strokes....Guy cooper once handed me my trophy at an areana x in Canada....and i had beers with Art Ekmon and Larry myers....and David Bailey in the pub after seattle suppercross....KINGDOME DAYS👍
Nothing beats the sound of a 2 stroke. Back when you had to ride the bike on the limit
Respect man you've still got it.. number 1 always x
Chad you would break the internet if you could qualify for a 450 main on this! 🤙🤙🤙
could... did you see him ripping that thing! guarantee it would be in the main. i doubt ktm would let him though unfortunately
@@randytrevor3935 is he still with KTM? I doubt it since he rode that Yamaha. They would never let him ride it within a contract. If he were standing beside of it would be one thing but to let him break ranks, which is also considered promoting (both KTM and Yamaha make competing 2-Strokes) for another Manufacturer, would be against Regs. I think he might be promoted by a local dealer which is a completely different deal than being promoted by a factory even though that factory supports that dealer. It’s still not the same.
I’m still ripping my 04 125 with my son on a 14 250 lol love it can let go of the best era
Damn !!! looking good and will forever love the sound of a two stroke 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Very cool video. Good luck tonight Pace have a great time. I'm sure your mechanic will have you ready.
I’ve been thinking about quitting riding for the past few months because I feel slower and look slower then I was when I first started riding 3 years ago. Seems like everyone around me is getting a lot faster but I’m slowly going backwards but after watching this it brings the fire back into me, just wish I could take it super serious but I’m lucky to ride 5 times a year which is probably why but I’m extremely low on money and it’s hard to find a job when you don’t see yourself working their for more then a month
The bark the race spec 2 stroke motor makes is badass. Miss that sound.
That was cool! Brings back good memories.
Nostalgia!!! Thanks for that! You’re still a badass!
Great intro... and the sound of that 2-stroke was awesome!
Best 6:16 of audio on UA-cam! 🤘🏻yammer hammer just ripping around Moto 40! So cool!
This just made my night ! Cheers man !
This is the best video on the internet right now.
I can hear Limp Biz kit ripping in the background from the hot dog water days! You are ripping on that YZ!
Chad we always loved see you race at our local tracks back in early 2000’s at Brooke Tioga and Unadilla!! Thanks for sharing what a 2 stroke should look at sound like 👍
Scary how comfortable you look on that bike. Look like the Chad of old with that MC style. I miss that sound.
SO SICK! LOVED THAT ERA
This was badass 😎 22 YAMAHA 250 2stroke. Nothing but gold. My kid's grew up watching Chad Reed. Awesome memories ❤.
That was awesome thanks for sharing! You made the whoops look like cake on that bike!
#22 on a YZ 250 are the best memories ever with Chad. 👍🏻
As GOD intended it to be... Chad just looks at home on the "Yamerha"😁
That was awesome. Simply awesome.
It brings me back the Nostalgia road so bad. Watching Supercross in the early 2000s and that yz250 #22 was killing it so hard.
I allways through that Reed's peak was that 04 Yz250. Im still sure Carmichael wouldnt have beat him in 04. Even in 03 Reed won more races than Carmichael...
Love it!! I raced a 2006 YZ250 (bored to a 295 for open class) in the National Hare and Hound Championship, I got 2nd due to one DNF (I decided to race my KX450f in one and cracked a piston, bah!!!) If I was riding the trusty YZ I would have had won the championship in 2014..20/20 hindsight they say! One of the best bike ever for a 250 2 stroke was the YZ, there is good reason it was nearly identical from 2005-the current model.
Love my 06. Just freshened her up and ready for the season.
That braap sound in the whoops.... NASTY!!!! So freaking awesome!!!
What a freaking Chad. Born and bred a Chad. Rides like a Chad.
One of the best ripping sessions ever seen 👊
The best vid I've ever watched!!
Looks so smooth in the whoops like it's comfortable
Cool video. I was like, who did he get to ride that thing for him. LOL
It reminded me of the good old days when the two smokers still rule the motocross scene.
It's good to see you still have the old bike and still riding it. Thanks for taking us along on a quick rip.
Only you can rock the dad bod like that on a 2-stroke and get away with it.
Nostalgic as fuck. Best video to hit the internet in years. Love it!!!!
Looks like a madman on a mission. complete badassery!
