Who make a better rider, MX or Off road guy??

[Rack]

Not talking pro level, but the average guy. A guy who has been riding 5 yrs for instance.

What about adding a street bike rider to the comparison

My group had a street bike guy come out...ONE TIME...years ago. He was on a NEW KX500, wearing cowboy boots, jeans and work gloves. He didnt see the need for proper dirt attire. His tongue was swollen by the time we got 40mi in out in Spangler. He was gassed and just wanted to get back to camp, but had no idea where that was. We got him back at about 50mi. As soon as he could get his strength back to load his bike he was gone.

So what's the verdict

So what's the verdict

MX - Big doubles, no troubles. Off-roaders like it wide open!

Hmmm, I don't like jumps, I rarely get out of 2nd or 3rd gear when off road.................

If you let me do some wrenching on your bike, I can help with that.....

I have a 5th WR gear just for desert.
I have a 1st WR gear just for woods.

2nd 3rd and 4th are all YZ.
You think he got out of first?

That guy "Rocks" literally. Talk about clutch control and balance. I bet he has a huge flywheel on that thing.

Ok, if you want to call testicles, a flywheel, I would have to agree.

Funny thing is as I looked at that as a two stoke vs four stroke observation.
Anybody think that a 530 could have done just as well, not being sarcastic either.

So I guess we are looking for some rock sections to test that Gold Fish out..

Not the way he was bouncing that thing up and over rocks. 2 stroke would be my choice. If they ever bring back the "Last Man Standing" I would ride it on a 2 stroke.
