    Videos of my son racing his 125.

    I'm gonna just post his videos in this one thread from now on, so I don't clutter up the forum with multiple threads.

    Here is the helmet cam video of Bradens last SX race. He allowed himself to be pushed out on the holeshot and let his nemesis on the DRR in front of him and wasn't able to get the lead back, but he made a last second push at the finish line and came very close to snatching first place. I still can't get him to down shift coming into the turns. lol.

    All of our races down here in NC were cancelled due to rain, so we decided to drive up to Breezewood Proving Grounds in PA to hit up there outlaw race. On our way there we had a caliper lock up on the motorhome, so we were late getting to the track. we got there 20 mins before the first moto started, so the kids didn't get any practice in, and we have never been there before, so we were a little nervous. but it all turned out great and we had a lot of fun. Braden got 2nd in the 90-125cc class and Shelby got 5th in the 50-70cc class.

    Here is Bradens helmet cam video.

    We finally had some great weather on a race weekend this past weekend. The bikes ran well and the kids had a blast. This was the first race on the +3 A arms and they def seemed to make Braden more comfortable. even though they are not long travel, he said the seemed to absorb landings better too.
    Braden ended up coming in 2nd out of 4 kids in his class. Not too bad for having the least amount of HP in his class.

    Here is a video of moto 1 I shot from my phone.

    Here is the helmet cam video of the first lap of each of his 2 moto's.

    He was a little wore out after a long hot day of racing.



    The kids were all proud of their hardware.

    Braden had another great weekend of racing. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the track was great. It's a very sandy track, so it gets pretty deep ruts in the tight turns,but he was able to make it through every one of them. He was riding even better this week than last week shifting more before the turns and leaning his little butt off through them. lol he ended up coming in 3rd in the first moto as along with the one boy that usually beats him, another very fast kid drove down all the way from Allentown PA to race this weekend. But in moto 2 Dylan, the boy that usually wins had the CVT rear its ugly head and caused him a DNF. The CVT is the biggest reason we don't race them. even when you maintain them regularly, they are still prone to failure. The Raptor may not be as fast, but they sure seem much less labor intensive. So Braden ended up finishing 2nd in moto 2, and 2nd over all.
