he's Jeff Russels son......of course. (1991 AMA Nat Enduro Champ) and he has become a real player in the GNCC series. Another 2nd Gen racer kickin' butt.
Wow There sure is a difference between they way I "race" and these guys "attack". Mike Alessi says in Dirt Rider this month that in another 5 years when he gets too old for MX he wants to try his hand at off road. Be interesting to see another "old" guy (ala Mike Brown) jump in to battle this wave of youngsters.
It's funny you say that. I'm not scared of trees it's this high speed west racing that makes me nervous lol
Where are the ferns, big trees, elevation changes and technical stuff? That guy is fast and made some really nice passes.
Fun to watch him race.... Got a chance to play around with him about 10 years ago here in some of the local SERA racing. He falls at the start, gets up & hauls the mail.
Yeah.... The times I've gotten myself in trouble wasn't in the technical stuff. It's always been the wide open, 5 gear stuff when I crash & burn.
Can you imagine how much fun, and what the 1-2-5 was put thru during one of these? They are fast and furious...
LOM, its all about race choice, 90% of what what we are (choose to) riding and racing in our SoCal/N. Baja zone is actually tighter, but lined with more forgiving bushes in addition to the occaisional tree. That course is fast and unforgiving. Its great to watch top tier pros thread and shred trails!! Most ammie h-cam viddys are boring by comparison. I love this post and others where we can see how fast the top tier guys go.
Here's another great POV from Josh Strang's helmet from the General GNCC, full first lap. Skip ahead to the 21 minute mark and watch the man in the first video come blowing by... amazing! http://www.digitaloffroad.com/2013/03/20/josh-strang-general-gncc-gopro-video/
