Wild Azz Racing

Didn't ride this weekend but still had some vid from the last ride that has info I wanted to get out there.

Full trail with hero dirt! My New Channel, W.A.R.

Just out for a ride in hero dirt even though it's hot. Oh, and me rambling on a lot!

Nothing really special about this vid other than catching the fact that Beers actually went down and I sort of caught it on camera. Plus, showing Russ around Wilmot for the first time. Not much talking in this one and mainly just riding. #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3

Yup, I'm starting (well, actually will be hopefully soon) a new channel. It's called W.A.R. Auto https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG8Uakz3kLHwQfnxvRulN4g and will be all automotive related content. Mainly this will be of 1970's and older vehicles and Mopars in particular. However, there will be GM and FoMoCo stuff as well. Old American cars are another of my interests and have been since I was just a little kid. Please follow me there! Do you have a classic car? Got a channel? Have a great story? Please share it in the comment section! #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3

Between truck troubles and hot AZ weather, it's been a while since I've gotten a ride in. This is some extra vid I recorded on my birthday ride. It's not much but it's something! #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3

Out enjoying my birthday with my buds. Even Mike B made an appearance. Also managed to see a couple of badgers, a first for me in AZ. What do I wish for my birthday? Listen and find out! #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3 #badger 0:00 Practice 9:50 Badgers! 14:55 My Birthday Wish

Out on my birthday ride and came across these two critters. So freakin cool! I've never seen them in AZ ever so it was a special birthday gift from Mother Nature. #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #badger #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3

I was riding solo but then Steve and Yohaly showed up. So, time to get some speed on! Steve led out with me following. Yohaly, our local Pro/AA rider, gave us a two minute head start. Of course he caught but I felt I did pretty good for an all out sprint even though I was still off my fastest time (done on hero dirt) by right at two minutes with an average speed of 18.5mph which is 2mph slower than my best. This is just a normal ride video with very little commentary so just listen to that two stroke sing! #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3

I had been thinking about doing this for a while now. Well, I was out riding solo, and practicing the skills learned with Max Gerston, so my speeds were a lot slower and gave me time to dive in to it. Of course, this is just my opinion on what the top 5 mods are but, hey, it is my channel! Do you agree, disagree, have them ranked differently, mods you think I should have been included?

No training in this one. Watch and laugh at me getting all panicky on some of these downhills on our ride with Max! The whole ride I was trying to implement what I have leaned from Max's class. I admit, I got sketched out at times, and resorted to the rear brake, but I do plan to conquer those same sections with nothing but front brake eventually! #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3 #max #gerston #training

Here Max runs us through front brake and using no brakes (!) on a turn track and his reasoning behind the drills. Here's a link to Max's website where you can find out more about his training and what Max is up to: https://maxoff-road.com/ and his youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/maxgerston #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3 #max #gerston #training

In Part 3 Max discusses how he sets up and keeps speed through a corner. #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3 #max #gerston #training

Went to see Anthrax at this year's Pima County Fair on April 22, 2022. Haven't seen these guys since 1988 and it was good to see they still have it and put on a great show. Once in a while I'll put up something like this and I'll always list it as Off Topic in the title. So, if you don't want to watch non-dirt bike related stuff like this just skip over it. I put this stuff up for myself mainly just so I never forget a great night! #Anthrax #Pima #County #Fair #Tucson #Arizona #heavy #metal #thrash #rock #concert

In part two we go through a couple of drills and Max's perspective on the techniques and skills being learned. Here's a link to Max's website where you can find out more about his training and what Max is up to: https://maxoff-road.com/ and his youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/maxgerston #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3 #max #gerston #training

My first ever professional training class and it's with Arizona's own Max Gerston! Max is an awesomely cool dude and one helluva accomplished racer and instructor. I highly recommend Max for any off road riding/race training and especially so for desert, hard enduro, and endurocross. I learned a lot from his class and Max helped me identify areas I really need to work on. Thanks again to Max for holding the class down here in Southern AZ and spending the day with us.

My buddy, Shaun's (Doorbin Five) channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf33akn0q_i95lFEvMMNQew This is a super short vid as my second battery died. I didn't notice that I somehow changed the setting from 30 to 60fps and it really ate my batteries up. Oh well, still got some decent video of the ride! #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #gopro #hero3

Please check out my bro's channel here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf33akn0q_i95lFEvMMNQew Still getting my butt kicked riding "The Gap" with my buddies. Nasty rock sections and some mountain stream action. Hope you like my color correction as I'm working hard to make my vids look better. I changed all my setting on my Gopro and did a lot of color correction In Davinci Resolve. Still not done with learning how to get the best color but definitely getting better. That said, what do you think of it? #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #Charouleau #Gap #gopro #hero3

Riding "The Gap" for the very first time. Five us total hit this gnarly Jeep trail through the Santa Catalina mountains. Beautiful views, riding up to about 5200 feet, and even a nice mountain stream. My fear of heights didn't get to me too much but I was very aware of the elevation. Sadly, I did have a really off day and rode like crap from the get go. Plus, my leg thing kicked in again and that made things even harder. I think I'm going to go to the doc to find out what is wrong with it. It's happening way more frequently and I don't want to have to stop riding harder stuff. Even with all that, I still had a great day and hopefully can do it again soon. #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #sanmanuel #wildazzracing #Charouleau #Gap

Just showing some highlights from our last ride showing around our new club member and recently new Arizonan, Scott, around the Marana riding area. #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #pro taper #tucson #marana #san manuel #wildazzracing

In this final vid from the Trail Riders of Southern AZ San Manuel post race ride, we descend from the gnarly climb, ride out the trail, and get back for some some lunch provided by the club. Thanks to all that came out and joined us for an awesome ride, great conversation, and enjoying beautiful San Manuel AZ! #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #pro taper #tucson #marana #san manuel #wildazzracing

Finally in to the gnarlier part off Blunt Force Trauma. I had to chop a lot of waiting around and heavy breathing to keep it under 20 minutes. However, there will be one more part showing the end of this trail up until my battery died. I might show a little of the ride back depending on the length of the vid. #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #protaper #tucson #marana #san #manuel #wildazzracing

Just some singletrack, sand washes, and jeep road before we get in to the gnarly section known as Blunt Force Trauma. I promise, the rough stuff is coming in Part 4!

This is where my fear of heights kick in and my skills really start taking a dive. I still get tired way too easy since I had the 'Rona and it makes riding more technical terrain a real challenge for me now. I hope my endurance comes back as this was just embarrassing on many levels. #kawasaki #kdx #200 #220 #yz #yz250 #yz250x #yamaha #az #arizona #kelly #canyon #suzuki #honda #ktm #husqvarna #sherco #beta #tm #trail #rider #southern #single #track #off #road #ohv #desert #enduro #trs #tubliss #fmf #pro taper #tucson #marana #san manuel #wildazzracing
