Like a ride in the park...He musta got a bit of sand up his hooter though, couldn't stop picking his nose.

Great vid. He def looks fast!

Not many youtube videos hold my attention for 6 minutes, and considering I haven't ridden a dirt bike in like 20yrs, well that says enough for me. But I'll add this, fuck that looks very impressive.

what tires does he use?

**ktm84mxc** · 3rd May 2011, 09:20

To think Herlings is only 16yrs old & only 2nd yr at GP level.
He was 2 seconds a lap faster then all riders in mx1&2 at valkenswaard, impressed, he was on a 250 2 boot.
He shud ride southwick as a wild card & put the frighteners up the yanks.

southwick is not like a european sand track, Langston and BT have said that in the past, it has a harder base than the tracks around the Benelux area, de Ruever did go very well there tho in one moto, before the humidity got to him

Fark!

I would have trouble riding that bike at anything close to that speed on a flat paddock.

**george formby** · 3rd May 2011, 11:29

He's got some serious fitness me thinks. And talent!

**CRF119** · 3rd May 2011, 18:07

He is pretty fast all tho that sand wasn't true sand it looked hard packed underneath. I was expecting super soft sand.

**browny** · 3rd May 2011, 20:13

hes fast tho

Very impressive. Like all of the top racers, they make it look so easy. I love riding in sand too. I've always found it weird that a lot of top moto-x racers struggle with it.

Yeah me too, I find it very forgiving and the lack of grip allows me to get away with lots of mistakes without the bike trying to bite back.

He's fast though... one day I too will be able to stand up and skip the bike over whooped up sections just on the rear wheel... well probably not, but I can dream...

The other thing with sand...is it's constant and predictable.

No doubt the fucker is faster than shit off a shovel though!
