Swap recently caught up with the Red Bull Honda’s Andrew Short while he was putting in some motos at the private Honda Supercross test track. Shorty looked great on his new EFI Honda, and also in his new flashy Fly gear, new Fly helmet and new Scott goggles. If you think Shorty looked good in this video, be sure to prop it. Andrew’s Red Bull Honda teammate got 12 props on his video last week…

December 12th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Hells yah the colorado kid.

Great vid Swap. Shorts looking good… since you have 2/3 of the healthy team honda riders on video, have you seen Tedesco out there? Hows he comparing?
December 12th, 2008 at 2:03 am
I don’t think Sauce is in town… I’ve not been able to get ahold of him. Or maybe he’s just gotten really cool this winter.. haha
December 12th, 2008 at 2:17 am
does anyone know what the hell happened to ben townley? is he still riding for redbull honda or what???
I loved that guy. he was amazing!
December 12th, 2008 at 2:19 am
He is hurt, but expects to be back in action in time for the East Coast SM Lites series.
December 12th, 2008 at 7:30 am
Shorty is looking good!
December 12th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Great video, good intermix of the music so we can still hear the bike bust some berms. How about some Rush.
December 12th, 2008 at 8:58 am
i know he’s going fast but it sounds like he’s clutching it trying to get that motorcycle of a dirt bike up to a usable rpm range
December 12th, 2008 at 9:02 am
I’m digging the new gear. Although Shorty shouldn’t be surprised when he’s dubbed “Toucan Sam” for the ‘09 season…
December 12th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Damn the new hondas are ugly as hell. Short is looking fast, ive always had alot of respect for him, hes a really humble guy. I like the videos with the BRAPPINNNN in the background. You guys gotta put some new swollen members in there for sure.
Nice vid swap
December 12th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Short looks fast, but that gear is terrible. Maybe they should rename the team: Honda Rainbow Warriors.
December 12th, 2008 at 9:28 am
hes riding the lites class?
December 12th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Swap your videos keep getting better! Keep up the good work, watching Transworld videos keep me going when it is suppose to snow up here in Oregon today! Boy does Cali weather look good!
December 12th, 2008 at 9:49 am
The honda sounds like my dyson vacuum cleaner. The gear is kick ass, its nice to see something different. Get’er done Toucan Sam29!
December 12th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Shorty is sick! and looking sick in that gear!
December 12th, 2008 at 10:39 am
hey swap you know anything about Kyle summers? Great vid man keep up the good work!!
December 12th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Swap: Great video, solid music!
Shorty’s gear is rad! I think he’s one of the best in the business at the seat bounce! Hope he stays healthy this season
December 12th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Great vid, riders - study videos like this. No big whips, just clean text book fast-ass riding! And that Honda track looks very slippery to boot.
December 12th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Right on DEF LEPPARD. Whats up with that header pipe, looks like a 2-stroke, speaking of 2-stroke i miss the sound of one pinned in the whoops, braaap da-da-da-da-da-da braaap
December 12th, 2008 at 11:23 am
He has that track dialed. I look for shorty to be on the podium alot this season. The gear looks cool, it is his gear from the U.S. open with a vegas neon sign theme. The red bull helmet looks good as well.
December 12th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Id just like to thank everybody for not making lame comments like “he is losing a tenth of a second in his corners” or “he needs better whoop technique” or “he needs to go faster” like we have had in the past with a certain RV2 video. Keep up the good work guys, great comments!
December 12th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Def Leapard… Word! I’m more of a photograph kind of guy.
December 12th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
SHORTY IS JUST A BOSS!!! i mean. the riding style to the gear to how fast he is. JUST PURE BOSS…
… CANT WAIT FOR SEATTLE….
December 12th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
no creativety….. and the song please! so bad!!!
December 12th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
wow shorty is looking awesome! so smooth i really hope he does well this year…
December 12th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
he’s running a gear high going into the whoops, so that he doesn’t run out of power before he gets to the end of them. Otherwise, he’d go on his head.
December 12th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Wow! It’s hard to believe that Shorty hasn’t won a Supercross. I mean the guy flat hauls!!!
I really hope he gets a win this year!
Good Luck!!!
December 12th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
best twmx video ive seen. about time some decent music is put in.
December 12th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
dont Fu&king watch it then
December 12th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
I continue to be amazed at the throttle response of the new EFI bikes. You can just hear the quick and clean transition from closed to open throttle when these guys are on the way out of the corner. To get that kind of response out of a single cylinder engine really is something else.
December 12th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
lame lame lame!!!! need better songs and some slow motion whips or somethin!
December 12th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
he rides a gear higher than davi
December 12th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
i’d like to see shorty’s times compared to millsaps, short looks faster in the turns and whoops
December 12th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
short is cool the song sucks but its sick
December 12th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I think Millsaps is a bit faster on that track…
December 12th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
I’m gunna be honest, the first part of this video with short standing and smiling next to his bike, was about as gay as the volleyball scene from top gun, other then that is was a pretty good video.
December 12th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
^^^best comment EVER!!!

HAHAHAhaaa…
December 12th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
good that there is not much slow-mo… good vid.. looks fast
December 12th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Whats the song called?
December 12th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
i dont like the Header on that bike, or the music…
but definately a fast rider, no music wouldve made this video better…
lol
just my 2 cents
December 12th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Awesome video Swap, thanks for not using too much slow-mo. You got some good angles too. That shot of shorty moving away from the camera on the double, double, triple section is sick! Stoked for the new season…
December 12th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
So, you would have liked complete silence when the slo motion was playing?
December 12th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Swap, you got something against metal? I never hear any good ol fashioned alpha-male metal.
December 12th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
not used to seein shorty in the Fly helmet. lookin fast though!
December 12th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Great video, It was TEN TIMES BETTER when the music was OFF!!
December 12th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I agree with TsmithMX…that shot from behind through the double double catches his line perfectly. Great video, Shorty looks good, I hope he’s on the podium this season!
December 13th, 2008 at 12:02 am
that bike sounds so choked for power
it cant breathe out of that pipe
these sound regularions are killing all the factory horse power
December 13th, 2008 at 12:08 am
loved the video…i always like the music choice, its good to get variety and what not
a while back one of the videos had some blink 182 in it…i definately think there should be some more blink in these videos
awesome
December 13th, 2008 at 12:21 am
Liked the Vid but music was rough on the ears. I wouldn’t have the guts to wear the fruit loop gear unless I had that kinda speed to back it up. Like Bubba in pink.
December 13th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Great video. Perfect combo of slow mo with music and real time with bike sound, and I like Def lepeord. Good luck in ‘09 to Short.
December 13th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Wow that bike is quiet, How much more doe’s green peace want use to lower the DB level to, And how about F1 Racing, Drag Racing, Planes and power tools like jack hammers
Whats next?
December 13th, 2008 at 9:57 am
Awesome riding video awesome bike the 09 honda is sick my dad has one he now hangs with the fast guys at the track,if you use ac/dc you never go wrong!!!peace!!!
December 13th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Gay Song…
December 13th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
sweet vid. so many douche bags comment on here quit griping about the song spodes watch the riding maybe youll learn somethin. they cant please everyone with “better songs” or “some sweet whips” go ride or something instead of trashing online videos you faggots.
December 13th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Sick vid there Swap. Guess what people Shorty ( aka Smilie
is on the gas!!!!!!!!!!!
December 13th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
ha you think you can handle it? prolly drop u on yor azz
December 14th, 2008 at 12:27 am
SURE CAN HEAR THE HONDA POP EVERYWHERE. I WAS GONNA BUY ONE UNTIL THE MOTOCROSS ACTION REVIEW. NOW, I’M KEEPING MY 06 FOR ONE MORE YEAR.
December 14th, 2008 at 5:23 am
whats the name of the song ?? =D
December 14th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Sick Song!!!! Sick Video!!!
December 14th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Holeshot…forget what MXAction had to say about the ‘09 Honda 450 and listen to what TransWorldMX had to say; they loved it. I have an ‘06 Honda 450 and the ‘09 and I love the ‘09, it is bad assed!
Short looks like he is hauling ass! I think he will win at least one race this year.
Name of song playing: Armeggeting It (don’t think I spelled that right) and it’s a great song!
December 14th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
the song matches the gear he’s wearing!
Good choice, Swap!
December 14th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
dont bag on the vid or the song. you should be happy that you
get to watch vids like this. WATCH AND LEARN
December 14th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Wow ! thoose 09 Hondas look awesome ! Best looking bike ever !
December 14th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Great vid And awesome music for this 45 year old. Great blend and love hearing the bike. Transworld Rules!
December 14th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
badd asss shit son.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
shorty’s lookin good this year for supercross.
December 14th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Short’s riding is nice and crisp. You never really see any big mistakes. It’s funny though watching the intro, after hearing James Stewart comment on DMXS that Short’s like the smilin’ assasin. He looks nice off the track, but is pretty aggressivev(just as Tedesco after the U.S. opern) when the gate drops.
December 14th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
hi
December 14th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Short is just a pure rider. You dont see him screwing around goon riding. He goes out to put the laps down!
December 15th, 2008 at 2:31 am
This song is terrible, but much love otherwise =)
December 15th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
29 looks great.As friendly as he seems i hope he does well
December 15th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I think the bike sounds tight. Swap, do riders choose the song for the video?
December 15th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Hey swap great video!This one made me wanna ride more than usual.Short is looking really good on the new honda.I cant wait till the SX season starts.
December 15th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Awesome vid! Can’t beat the tunes. Shorty 2008 Grand National CHAMP! Good luck in 09
December 15th, 2008 at 8:14 pm

December 16th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Short is looking very fast and of course always a smooth rider…its going to be a great year for him again. One of the best and most consistent riders out there. That video and song kicked ass!!!
December 16th, 2008 at 12:55 pm

March 25th, 2009 at 4:31 am
Met shorty on the plane the other day. Had no idea who I was sitting by till I got home. Class act Shorty. Wish you well
May 20th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
He is out of the country to have his injury worked on by a top surgeon, I was at the Honda race day yesterday and was also looking for him, I was dissapointed he wasn't there, mcgrath showed up so I was cool with that.
