That drone shot that followed him over the jump was damn cool. Those little trucks were pretty bad ass, too.

Yeah! I didn't know a full grown human could fit into those little trucks. I want to know the differences between his little truck and his kids..

All I hear is my wife bitching about the dust as she slams all the house windows shut.

Maybe she just wants her own ride? Possibly a passenger seat? Smile

I thought that it was cool to see that we do the exact same thing. Except for when Mom comes riding with us. And we're on bikes, not in trucks lol

Think they are 450r Yamaha atv motors in the small trucks. His full size is probably over to 700hp.

Do you think the kids trucks are within whatever spec to be raced and his little truck is a bit more modified? I'm not talking about his Big truck. lol

1st, glad his girls are into some sort of motorsport, it was pretty much guaranteed.

2nd, am I the only one that wishes he had a boy as well? Just think of the knowledge that could be passed on.

3rd, glad his wife is looking good after health scare couple of years ago.

I like that he's on a KX 500 and not some FrankenBike AF 500

I thought the drone was going to get shot out of the sky by all the roost from the truck.

It always blows me away watching the suspension work on those trophy trucks. Incredible how the cockpit scene shows very little jolt when the truck lands off the jump.

True. He talks about it here https://www.swapmotolive.com/jeremy-mcgrath-on-the-kickstart-podcast/ at about 49:00. I think there's a big difference between a 250 in a 250f aluminum frame and a 500 in an aluminum frame. Conversion bikes are cool but there's something about a 500 in it's proper frame that just makes my heart happy. Bower's 500 is awesome too. When they add modern parts like forks and clamps, brakes, etc, it's one thing but when they start chopping frames and making something that's completely unique, while I can appreciate the craftsmanship and it is a work of art and beautiful to look at, it takes a lot of hard work and testing to get it to ride right. Maybe I'm partial growing up watching Destry Abbott on a 500? lol

destry,s 500 is one of my all time favorite bikes...

It seems like it was already to much r&d needed (Balancer shaft, massive head stays etc. back when they introduced the aluminum frame) to bring them in series, plus the down trend on 2stroke development in general
