I don't know the names of these stunts well enough to name them. But honestly I was proud of myself for being able to getting them in the center of the shot about 90% of the time. And in focus with a slow one shot camera.
If anyone knows the names of the stunts comment and I will put it in the title.
Taken at the 2014 World of wheels in Kansas City, MO.

I'm guessing you haven't been riding the newer 4 strokes?
The newer 4 strokes (450 & 250) rev like you wouldn't believe. All motors made after 2005 run in the rpm's. Except Honda who is still a torque monster in the high performance bike and fourwheeler world. But they run through the rpm's and hit rev limiter as fast as you shift. A 2005 Yamaha YFZ450 that I ride, I ride it like a 2 stroke, it even has a hit, it revs past 13,000 rpm's for sure.
The new world of 4 strokes is nothing compared to yesteryears 4 strokes. And a bonus of the 4 strokes (most newer bikes after 2009) have EFI that you can program with a simple piggy back style programmer. So when you up side down, or in the air a while, you don't have to worry about lag or cut out.
Not saying 2 strokes don't have there place, I have a KTM 250xcw and it's the badest 2 stroke from the factory that I've ever ridin. And it's an enduro, so it's de-tuned a little. They are lighter, faster, handle better, but they are more to maintain, and very intimidating to most. The 4 strokes are more forgiving.

It depends on what you consider "newer". I've owned an 07 KX250F and an 06 CRF450R, but of course neither of those are fuel injected. The newest bike I've ridden is an 09 KX450F (the first or second year Kawi offered EFI on the 450s, can't remember which), and even though I only got to turn a few laps on it, the difference was night and day. With the KX there was enough power down low that I could corner in 3rd gear, get on the gas, and clear the doubles out of the corners on the track I was riding. The difference in lap times was huge. Like I said, I prefer 4 strokes for racing, but the 2 strokes do have a weight advantage, which is why they still make sense for FMX.
