The video is the 8th picture down the page, right above where it says "the test". It has a bunch of trikes from Trikefest.

Just seen the video and I loved every minute of it ,thanks ATV On Demand !

[King Trikester]

Awesome stuff, love it

[bigmac]

I wished they'd race it against that 350x they redone

[RIDE-RED 250r]

Thanks for sharing.

The first paragraph, well said.

[slashfan7964]

I have to say I am throughly impressed, and I absolutely loved the fact that it was stressed that you need seat time to learn to ride these things properly. Very, very well done, and I am seriously looking forward to the 200X videos, whenever they come. I've been spreading the link to the video around like wildfire, and getting some very positive responses from people who had little to no interest in these machines. You guys do wonderful and I keep watching these over and over. The action shots are so very well done.

I can't believe I was on the same video with Jimmy White!!!!!!! :Bounce :Bounce

I tell you what, as long as I have been playing around with various powersports toys from sleds, to bikes to wheelers, it never ceases to amaze me how fast the R evolved. From the last year of the 1st gen in '82 to the first year 3rd gen in '85, it's hard to imagine how much changed in just 3 model years. Talk about an industry on fire!

[slashfan7964]

One can only imagine how much further it would have gone had the CPSC not stepped in. Such a machine that never had the chance to evolve further could have been monstrous.

Not to say any of the 3rd gen's aren't. Hell, I'm afraid to jump on one. I'm working my way slowly up haha.

@Rob

Awesome riding as always. These few videos I've seen you in, you never fail to impress me. All the ATC videos ATV on Demand did that you featured in I have spread around and quickly pointed out:

"That! That is how you f****ing ride a three wheeler!"

:D

[Billy Golightly]

Very cool video Joe, thanks for sharing!

[slashfan7964]

Billy, you should feature this on the home page of the website here. :)

Awsome article and video!

[redsox]

wicked cool, man. love it. awesome job from top to bottom.

[ATV On Demand]

Thanks so much for all the positive feedback. The response to the 350X videos really had Rob and I looking forward to the release of this video. I missed the three-wheeler thing the first time around, growing up on Mickey Thompson ATV racing in the late 80s and early 90s. Its been a lot of fun reading and talking to so many people about the history of the sport.

We really appreciate Allen Knowles from CT Racing and Jimmy White for sharing some of their experiences from back in the day. Also, Mickey Dunlap from Four Stroke Tech was kind enough to chat with me for a couple of hours about racing back in the day to help us get our story straight.

The 200X will happen at some point, but first we have a project ATC250R to produce a video and article for.

[wisconsinite]

Very cool. Nice bump for trikefest too. You know, a 250r/tri z/ tecate shootout vid would be sweet!:naughty:

[Super350]

class act, 100% :TrikesOwn

You guys deserve it, these videos are phenomenal and really turning some heads. I've shown them off well and will continue to.

As far as the X, alright! Can't wait for the other R video however. Do you have a time frame for the 250R?

All would have to be final gens though to be fair :D

[three50x]

Slash, We are currently going through the build list, the video is uploaded for editing, the story is being written, and we hope to have a Rust to Glory 1986 ATC250R project test ready to go within two weeks.
