Those new fangled 4-strokes!

[Okiewan]

For all the noobs to the sport... there are some new-fangled 2 strokes in there. "250 Greeves (2-T) and 440 BSA (4-T)"... you think the displacement rules are new? Watch it to the end, it's worth it. :cool:

AJ, don't you know Jeff Smith?

Very Cool! That was a great race. Thanks!

FWIW, one of the riders, Vic Eastwood, was at the '76 USGP, which was the first MX race I ever attended. Eastwood was the guy that Rex Staten brawled with.

By '76, Eastwood was riding the only 4 stroke in the field, a CCM.

Having learned to ride on early 70's bikes, watching this video was a blast from the past. Watching Bicker's weight the outside peg in the turns was showing how much skill it took to ride those under suspended bikes. Great video.

Wow ... pretty hiliarous when #3 lost the bike, he spread his legs wide open haha

very nice video, thank you !

I watched it, and it only proves one thing, it has always taken double displacement for a thumper to keep up. They're just all faster now.

Yup, there was first the 4-T, then the 2_t came and was such and advantage with it's skank burning exhaust, it was half the cc's.

A few observations:

1) That Greeves sounded sweet.

2) Maybe OLN could hire the announcers and camera crew.

I knew 2 strokes were faster!
