    Ice race video of R vs yfz450, banshee, 2 raptors and a trx

    We took some video yesterday. This was a pick up race. There was no official start. People started running laps and it turned into a good race. I went out on the track to join the race and quickly got ahead of everyone. I slowed down and let the quads pass me, then I let them have it. I'll link it up to my website in the next couple days.

    It was good fun. People watching the race couldn't believe it.

    always happy to see you start a new thread Chris!! (usually means another vid.) It sure was nice of you to let those guys on the quads see what is like to be out in front, even if it was only for a short while. ---Joe 8)
    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    Thanks

    Hi Guys



    What's the saying?..."teaching golfcarts a lesson"

    I love sharing this stuff with everyone. Especially those that say "250R's are junk" and advise people to get 4 stroke quads. This was the best race, but I'll check to see if I can get another good clip out of it.

    I'm acutally upset about it. The battery on my helmet camera died so I couldn't get more video. It's really fun to watch the action after the races. We all huddle around a 2" screen on my camcorder in the bar and talk sh#t at each other....who beat who and who had a great pass, etc.

    Matt: I have a huge comprimise when I shrink my videos. The quality sucks. I record them into my computer as an AVI (high quality) file, but they end up being 78mb files. I then shrink them down using a windows media encoder. I downloaded it from Microsoft's webpage (It's free.) However, the videos are OK for now.

    If anyone knows any better solution, then I would love to know it. I have to shrink them down to make them downloadable. I also only have 25mb of free storage on my website. So far I haven't considered renting extra space and don't want my site subject to advertisers by using the "free" storage sites.

    250r's JUNK ??? No way man!! I have a well set up 86 250r atc and to be honest I don't even hardly think about my 350x anymore.

    The 85/86 250r atc's are the best machines out there. Honda can build 4 wheelers till there blue in the face and never even touch on the old trikes. In fact I"ll even go so far as to say that the fact that the trikes got outlawed doesn't matter cause Honda cheapened up everything after 86 to the point that the crap wasn't hardly worth owning. Look at the newer 250r fourwheelers. JUNK.
