Michael Lindsay my question is not really related to your vid but it’s your most recent, just asking for some advice... I’m 15stone (210lbs 5.11/6ft, not fat!) 😂, pretty new, do I go 250 or 450? and good luck, I want to race this year, in my head I’m brilliant! But will put a lot of time in to improve, congrats and good luck with your team

@@TheDing11 New racer? 250. They have plenty of power to pull a 210 lb guy. Yea, you have to jump what the other racers are jumping, but as soon as your corner speed is better than theirs, you probably win. I think the 250 will force you to keep the gas wide open more, (it is amazing how many people race half throttle), where a 450 could be too much for you to practice that. Personally, me a bit heavier than you, if I were to race again, I would do it on a 250 2-stroke, (less expensive to buy, and maintain, and much easier to work on). You won't even have to win, and people will be watching you. :)

EarthSurferUSA thanks for the advice, I think your right it will be either a 250 4 stroke or smoker, I’ll just get the suspension set up correctly (correct rear spring for my weight) and away I go!

LET'S GO RACING BOYS! So thankful for this opportunity Michael. I think I speak for everyone in saying that what you're doing for the sport is incredible. One more week!

What the heck is up with the dislikes?? Maybe riders that were hoping to make the team, but didn't? Jeff Walker was a given. Chris Blose is pretty much a household name in the sport, so good for both of you. Jerry Robin is new to me, so one more name to follow, which makes the races more interesting. Justin Starling I'm familiar with since watching his Wife Swap years ago. Last but not least is COTY SHOCK. I'm most excited for this guy after getting turned on to his story maybe about a year ago. He seems like the nicest, most humble, and down to earth guy around .... and FAST. SOO glad to see some good support coming his way. If you are not familiar with his story, check out this series about his background and story. The series is called FOCUS, and it has six parts. Here is part number 1. If you like it you could continue with the others. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKOburFxqszdhso.html

Michael Lindsay, I don't care what riders you have, What bikes you ride, I am just a fan! For what you have done for these guys is Honorable mention of 2020! I hope all goes great and I will support you guys! In my eyes, Team manager of 2020!

I’m proud of you man! Merry Christmas to you as well!!!

Broh, you THE most BADASS dude in the sport! Keep it cranked and I'll keep cheering! You are a saint.

please make this like a behind the scene of your team kind of like how IB Corp did it a couple years ago. I really think that style will blow up. Just hire a camera guy who can edit them and it will make your life a lot easier because you will already be super busy. I miss the IB corp videos. i really think that will blow up

Now that’s what I like to see a team giving lower ranked riders a chance to shine in the spotlight , well done to you fir doing it 👏

Best of luck for the coming season, I truely hope it goes well and doesn’t wreck you too much.

Pretty cool you're doing this. Really cool actually. Pumped to see how everyone does especially Jerry. Good luck everyone. Pumped up for A1!

Great picks ! Jerry Robin is coming into his prime and he is capable of top 10. Cote Shock is another sentimental favorite that could use some help to reach his potential . And Chris Blose is a top 5 rider all day long. Can't wait to follow your team this year ! Great job ML !

So stoked about Jerry Robin. Been watching the guy since he went to Loretta’s on his 80s cr250 and pumped that he will have a ride. Cool what you’re doing for everyone else too. Really hoping that it works out well-especially for Jerry.

We need more people in our like you bratha!! Rock n roll! See you at A1👍🏻🤪

Congrats dude, the team riders sound solid and good oil, def a good coupe with CB as team captain using that to mentor is very smart and good for the younger guys clearly and for him, he’ll grow with that too. Stoked JW is not doing SX this season, he is a very smart young man and he’ll grow into that, I was worried he was jumping in too soon and we see potential future champs ruined in the first year who don’t have an SX background, Lawerence kids come to mind, be interesting to see how Jett goes, but Hunter did it tough last year and he had more experience than Jett) so for JW smart move to focus on Med school outdoors and take time to learn SX, don’t know much about the others the first young guy you talked about sounds good so looking fwd to following him and the whole team, instantly followed you and team on Insta, best of luck preparing and for the season, 2020 just got a heck of allot more interesting and exciting. 🤙🔥..

God bless micheal. Love what he’s doing for these guys.

I wish you and the team the best of luck... one of my dreams is to see a non, full factory team make podiums... there has to be more than just throwing money at an issue. The 👍

Why move him straight to 450?? Could he not try and stay on the 250 and push that abit more???

@MichaelLindsay

4 жыл бұрын

Budget, rider size, and amount of factory bikes. In the 450 class, by about the half way mark of the series there's usually only around 8-10 factory entries in the class and we can build a bike that's competitive with it in that setting. 250s however, the budget required to be competitive outdoors is much larger than indoors...especially with J-Walk's size. Also, with the 250 teams being so large...there's around 21-24 factory bikes to deal with and by the half way mark there's still around 16-18 left. If someone wants to gift me another $20,000 or so, we can get him good enough 250s for outdoors haha.
