Mx video I made

[tahitianrider]

Here's a little a video I made riding my Raptor 700r on the local mx track.
Nothing special but just having fun.
There's not much Raptors on mx tracks but I'm one of them :)

That was fun to watch, cool vid! :cool:

Nice riding too, I liked that 180...can't say i've ever pulled one of those before :p

Do you use a chest mount harness for your GoPro to catch that one onboard POV? That's a cool camera angle.

No I've mount it to my chest protector with a curvec adhesive mount.

It's a Sony HDR SR-12

wait a sec........Ive seen this video before....:confused:

In fact its been posted on here before, when the arguement about people riding raptors was going on.

TahitianRider is a very good member of forums. I remember him from raptorforum.

Cool vid man. I liked that 180 also. I've pulled one off before. Onetime I didn't keep my wheels straight and it threw me off. I wasn't expecting it to turn so quick.:D

Cool video man! Props on the 180s. I dig the raptor!

[tahitianrider]

Thanks guys ! Glad you like it.

The 180 isn't really hard to do, it's like doing a donut on the top of a jump. :D

[hondaracer_34]

Nice vid...mad props to you for riding MX on a raptor. What stage are your Elkas? How do you like them man?

[slightlybent47]

That 180 looked cool, i'm going to try that!lol

[BenHonda400ex]

I would try to but I would probably some how run my self over! :D

Thanks man !

My elka are Stage 4. I really like them, they work very well on jumps and on rough terrain as well. Plus they don't need much maintenance, just keep them clean, wear a shock cover and revalve them once a year.
Plus They won't loose pressure like Fox evols sometimes do.

raptor + elka=dominate:D

You got it :D

[Baracudaaa]

Fun vid, but your suspension set is WAAYYYY to soft for MX. Even on the little jumps your front end was packing out. Try stiffening it up, should help you get a bit more distance off the jump faces.

[tahitianrider]

Yeah I know the Hi speed comp on my Elka are allready set on max hard, I need to revalve them.
I had them set for Trails and track at the elka factory but I end up doing almost only mx track...

thanks for the tip, I'd like to go faster on some jump but if I do it my frame hits the ground on landings lol.

I need to change my rear shock too, I still have the stock one :(
