i have a feeling we will see JB10 on the podium alot.. and maybe even pushing for a win at some point this season.
Simon, nice choice on the song! Conflict of Interest is sick! And JB looks comfortable on the Honda already. Podium threat for sure.
JB is the biggest silent killer on the track in the 450 class now. Noone pays attention to him and he does his own thing, I think he's going to open some eyes the next couple years. Team Honda and the bike will bring him up to that next level with the leaders I think.
this biatch,gonna do that
Go get em' J!
The Honda might take Justin Brayton all the way to the next level.
Seems people were giving other people a tough time about RD not looking so good on the KTM. He was defended because he has only been on the bike five days. Well JB has had the same five days and looks at home on the Honda and sounds VERY confident!
Yes Justin looks very comfortable on the bike, almost like he is having fun. Best of luck to JB10!
Nice guy , looks like the podium is in his future
nice to see mcgrath in the background, and 'OH YEAH HE LOOKS SO COMFORTABLE' guys you really cant tell from a video, and im not saying he isnt going to get a podium, but lets see, #41, 7, 22, 2 or 1, 5 and 29, 32, i say top five but to give him a podium already is a little bit to much, just saying
i want this guy to win this year.
dude has solid work ethic, isnt a tool bag and just wants to race...he has factory honda written all over him.
Yeah, you can tell he's comfortable even if you want to claim it can't be told from a video. You can't tell lap times in vdieos, but you can see comfort. Like when he is turning into the turn 3/4 throught the whoopsnor when he is laying the bike sideways and flicking the back end out perfectly onto the downside of a jump. This video makes him look VERY comfortable. I don't know about podiums either, but who knows? Anyone think Stanton was going to be a podium threat when he moved to Honda......let alone win 2 titles that year? It does appear that this change will do him good though.
Yeah JB!! Makin' Iowa proud!! Been watching him for quite awhile now and have always like this guy!! Only time will tell the story, as with everybody, but i do believe we will see him notch it up a little bit this year!! He does look comfortable, but i also think the fact that some say RD doesn't look comfortable on the KTM is a little misleading. Unfortunately there is still that stigma with the KTM that it is somehow just not possible for an American rider to do well on one, so i think people come in to it with a little negative influence on their opinion!! Hell i don't know!! Good luck JB!!
Ears!
Sometimes you can tell lap times from the videos. I thought I could, anyway, by timing the individual sections of track that they show in these videos and lumping them into a single "lap."
Last year I took a stopwatch to a couple Transworld videos--one of the KTM test track (?) and one of the track in RV's back yard--and announced to everyone that Short was faster than Canard, and Weimer > Villopoto and that I was worried about RV. I still think I timed the laps correctly, but apparently those laps weren't at all suggestive of the riders' true speed.
So...I guess I won't be doing that this year. Or maybe I will. It was fun, if a little misleading.
let's see Dungy, villopoto reed, Stewart ( if he races ), Shorty, Tedesco and figure rattray, then Brayton. Now...CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY HONDA DIDN'T WIN THE DUNGY BID! The rider they chose isn't in the same league.
@2003RACER8M What are you talking about? it's not the teams choice to who goes to what team. Dungey's on KTM because he chose to be...Brayton's on Honda because he got the chance and he took it. Hope fully thats what you were talking about cause i'm confused.
he needs to get a little more aggressive, maybe as testing goes on he'll get a little faster. i picked out a few spots where i thought he was being lazy, maybe kind of apathetic looking but he's got top 5 speed no matter what, and some serious confidence. I'd LOVE to see him mix it up for the title. Good Luck Bray10
He looks more comfortable on his Honda than RD looks on his KTM. I know it's early ..... but a guy like Brayton only needs to find a half a second to a second (an average lap) and he's right there with the big guys (at the end of a super-X final). I think he'll be up front and in the mix this year. Best of luck to him.
what a good guy!! He is whats right with our sport! I really hope he finds the podium, but if not, he will represent Honda well!!!! Congrats on your success, and stay healthy!!
Other than having his ears tucked into his hat he looks pretty good. Race pace is a little different than practice pace, but JB10's a hard working blue collar guy that's not afraid to step it up, or mix it up. Wouldn't be surprised with a few podiums, no wins but a few podiums.IMHO
Any Guy who plucks his eyebrows like this queer probably owns a pink toolbox look @ those homo things WTF!....He couldn't get it done a@ JGR what makes you think Honda's gonna be any diffrent!..He's a mid pack rider and that wont change he might get lucky and make the podium in a heat race other than that he shouldn't unpack his gear bag he wont be there long!.......
@kliffwalker.... Isn't there a Nascar race you should be watching or something?
Best move Honda could have done. JB10 will be a title threat in the next few years. With his drive and factory backed Honda, he will go places.Gunna see alot of Red on the box in 2013 with Brayton and Canard reppin!
ye JB10! He looked very comfortable from this video and fast
For the love of all that is holly! Cant anyone make a figgen video WITHOUT the stupid &^#%$ crap music!!!! Jesus, just let us hear the bikes, the surroundings, holly crap. You guys go thru all the trouble of showing up and filming this stuff, then editing it, then you just completly ruin the entire effort by putting the dumb music over it. What is it? is the average person looking at this like 14? Without the music the veiwer loses interest? Maybe they really are not interested in MX then. I get all jazzed up to see someone ride and then WAM some bs crappy music, so I just stop watching all together. Sorry for the rant, probably gonna get flammed, but I clicked on this video and then my ears got invaded by something horrible and it lit a fire.
@mxrider920......No sorry NASCAR is LAME + asphalt is to get to the track,real racing is on dirt!!...as in SPRINTCARS!!!
