You guys asked for the video when we loaded up the photos from Chad’s house this week, so here it is. Rather than the regular music dubbed to riding, though, this one is straight up full-speed action. Enjoy!

WOW, Chad man you are really hauling this year. Just a matter of time before you get that first win.
January 29th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
Damn fast! Go Reed
January 29th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
San Francisco starts the Chad Reed express train, sorry bubbles, your run ends this weekend.
January 29th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
I hope he gets a good start this weekend at San Francisco. I want to see a battle emerge! TWMX ROCKS!
January 29th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
screw music dubbed to riding. being able to listen to the bike is so much better
January 29th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Chads on it this year! Dont know about beating Stewart all year though….
January 29th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
video quality sucks!
January 29th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
haha yeah, was this shot with a cell phone?
January 29th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
quality is horrible! looks like a digital camera video
January 29th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Daaang! i know chad is fast and alll…but that shouldnt be the reason the video is one big blur to me! i cant see anything!…hardly
January 29th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
see what happens when you get off yamahas kids? you go fast….
January 29th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Man guys! Once again, sorry this FREE video isn’t up to your high quality standards. It was shot on our not so killer smaller video camera, since I traveled to Florida with studio lights to shoot a feature for the mag as well as all the needed camera equipment. I don’t even want to get into the time it took to figure out the technical difficulties I had with the camera. At least you even get to see what it looks like to be on the side of Chad’s personal SX track while he’s testing.
January 29th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
HA HA ! That was a low blow to yamaha peeps out there!
January 29th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
That whoop section is so gnarly….id be tired halfway through..
Awesome video though!!!! PROPS!!!
January 29th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
His bike sounds like a ttr with the baffle cut out.
January 29th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
TWMX, thank you for finally putting a video up without music. The videos are much better for us riders who can’t ride as much as others (I live in MN, so there isn’t much winter riding!).
The video was good enough, I’m not complaining! At least you got us a sweet video of Reedy hauling some serious rear.
PS: What an awesome guy on top of that…had a chance to meet him in the pits and he was very courteous and even talked to us for a bit last year at the dome. GO REEDY! #1
January 29th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I thought the video was rad. Thanks! Chad is looking sikk this year.
January 29th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
sweet video!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Killer video! Thanx, keeps an Idaho guy up to his but in snow goin! Don’t worry bout the whiners, you guys are awesome!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
yeah when u get off yamahas u get beat by em. retard.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Hey Lutes great video.Thanks for filming it and putting it up.Reed is an animal on that Suzuki.He is so in tune with that bike.Im sure he will work out the kinks in his starts.I cant wait till Reed and Stewart get off the gate even and battle it out!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Thanks for the video Lutes! Love watching Chad ride. Thats all people do anymore is bitch. Thanks again for the video my next bike just might be a Suzuki. They look so damn good this year.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Nice job Lutes!
This is badass.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
yeah right!! when you get off Yamahas you get beat by them LMAO. I ride RMZ450 but i had to laugh at that. goofy but true
January 29th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Hahaha Lutes it’s a tough crowd! True the quality isn’t great and I imagine it’s absolutely horrible with a bad connection but it’s not that bad on mine. I definitely enjoyed it! Thank you.
Keep up the Reed videos he looks really good on the zuke.

January 29th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Man you complain too much! Great vid I dont care who wins this weekend I just want to see some scrappin’.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
looks kinda like Bubba’s track. How much money do these guys make? first you gotta buy land then build tracks. I wish i had it like that.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
WOW! Reed was was haulin’ a**! Hey Reed’ If your reading this’ I would just like to say. Dont be afraid to line up next to Bubba and bang some bars on your way to the holeshot!!Bubba’s like 4ft 2!! I think I read somewhere your like 6ft? Use your size advantage!!LOL All I’m saying is lets see you take the gloves off and get down right nasty!!LOL
January 29th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
anyone that complains about the video quality is no doubt a knob! like really? are you serious? TOOLS!!!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
cheers lutes,great work
January 29th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Great!!
Wicked fast through the whoops, unfortunantly thats the only thing he has on Stewart at the moment.
Cant wait for the next race!!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
fastest man alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
The video quality on mine is all good. Those whoops are far out long man, and hes pinned all the way thru, haha nice.
January 29th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Yeah, at least if you both go down you know your bike will start!!LOL
January 29th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Great vid TWMX. Thanks for not filling it up with crappy music.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Awesome video Lutes. The quality is no the best, but Im not complaining. Being a mechanic it would be cool to see more of the shop. Keep up the good work.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
5′ 8″ vs 5′ 10″ . You spend too much time on the internet looking up garbage info.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Good job lutes, your definitely improving in your video skills!
January 29th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
REEDS THE MAN, JUST A MATTER OF GETTING A GOOD START AND STAYING INFRONT! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO TWMX!
January 29th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Most banhing booty alive!!
January 29th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
Hes the fastest out there for sure this year but he just is getting bad starts. hopfully he’ll repeat his title win
go speedy reedy!
January 29th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
amen
January 29th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
i like durtbikes and motorcross
is good
January 29th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
If you dont like the quality then stfu and click the back button.
January 29th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
hahaha kyle just got told son
January 30th, 2009 at 12:34 am
amen amen
January 30th, 2009 at 12:36 am
who cares about the quality. If you want HD than go buy a video. Please keep the FREE vids coming. They’re much appreciated.
January 30th, 2009 at 1:45 am
Reedy is smoke, he looks fast, smooth, confident, and like he is one with that zuk. I love Stewie, but I want to see these guys eat eachother up on the track, I hope this weekend won’t disapoint!!!
January 30th, 2009 at 2:26 am
all he needs is to dial in that start
hes got the speed to beat bubba!
January 30th, 2009 at 3:10 am
Yeah!!!
This year you are the faster guy on the track.
January 30th, 2009 at 6:49 am
I appreciate the videos… but like others have said,
the crappy music isn’t reallt adding to the video. Hearing
the engine is much more gratifying.
January 30th, 2009 at 7:49 am
These guys go through all the trouble it takes to book a session with the ride, setup the camera equipment, get the right angles for the video, host it for FREE and you guys want to complain? If you don’t like what TWMX does then don’t come here, we sure do enjoy the free videos and I think the quality is great.
Keep up the excellent job and thank you for the videos!
January 30th, 2009 at 7:54 am
Chad is ripping it this year, always either posting the fastest lap time or within 0.0045sec of it, yet Ralph still calls James “The fastest man on the planet” Ralph, you need to shut that crap up and let Emig talk more.
Chad, you look fantastic man. You are by far the fastest on the tracks thus far in my opinion, keep it up, the wins will come.
January 30th, 2009 at 7:56 am
Yeaaaahhh.. This is why he have the Number ONE plate…. Very fast!
And the video is perfect! who loves the real motocross know what i am talking!
January 30th, 2009 at 8:26 am
Brendan, there’s nothing to apologies for. You used what you had, I’m just glad to see the video, whats to choose on? I’m just glad to see one of the greatest riders do his thing.
/Mike
January 30th, 2009 at 8:33 am
retard, get off your moms couch, get a job and learn to appreciate stuff. great job TWMX
January 30th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Man I really don’t like Reed. But there is no denying the fact he is fast as hell. This is already one really good SX season. Can’t wait for outdoors!
January 30th, 2009 at 10:09 am
Well if i went through all that trouble to setup that equiptment, get good angles, book the session in the first place then im pretty sure i would want a quality video coming out of all that hard work don’t you think? Either way, the man still gets paid regardless.
Hopefully reedy can step it up this week. Stewart all the way!
January 30th, 2009 at 10:13 am
Chad faster then Stewart?
Houston:
James stewart: 49.150
Chad reed: 49.626
January 30th, 2009 at 11:15 am
this is the best switch for reed…hes faster than ever.unlike bubba he sucks this year on a yamaha..
January 30th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Yea and reeds best laps were faster for the 3 rounds previous and he is leading the points… was over a second quicker at a2 coming through the pack.
January 30th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Chad faster then Stewart? You betcha he was….
A1
Chad Reed 59.480
James Stewart 59.929
A2
Chad Reed 58.816
James Stewart 1:00.015
Pheonix
James Stewart 51.848
Chad Reed 51.911
Chad has definitely stepped up his game this year!
January 30th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
yea because bubba didnt have to push himself dumbass… y would bubba push himself to run chads time when nobody is catching him and oh yea… he is out front so has no1 to pass either. if chad caught bubba he would have stepped it up to the same pace jackass. when u start in last you dont have much choice but to ride lap times that fast
January 30th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
dude why are u complaining? dirt rider doesnt do this
only transworld puts up the most recent and amazing news, vids and pics. GO TWMX U GUYS R AWESOME!!!!!
January 30th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Now if he could get a good start… we would see a great race.
January 30th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
fast faster fastest
January 30th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
More kudos from frozen Idaho! Thanks for giving us something to keep up going until it thaws out up here!!
January 30th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
I heard that…
January 30th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
It’s not the bike its the rider. Last year stewart won on a kawi now on a yamasuck and is goin slower.retard
January 30th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
MAN I WISH BUBBA HADN’T SWITCH TO THAT GARBAGE YAMAHA!!!! He’s goin so slow this year. I wonder what he would run on a honda or any EFI bike
January 30th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
thanks for the awsome videos TWMX, Donn Maeda and Lutes!!!!
works great on my laptop, and you are always putting fresh videos for us, keep it up!! it’s very appreciated!!
Chad is getting faster and faster!! he is a true champ, riding through those shoulder injuries, I really respect that!!!
January 30th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Siiiiiiick that was rad. Reeds found the former speed of being on the 250 again he is f***ing ripping.
January 30th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Uuuhhh? if I’am not mistaken. Didn’t Stewart sit out sx last year? Not too hard to win when the dude that can smoke you with a bumm knee doesnt race.
January 30th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
PREACH ON BRO PREACH ON!!!! I COULDENT AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!
January 30th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
BOY OH BOY THATS THE FASTEST GARBAGE I’VE EVER SEEN!!! WAS THE SWEETEST BIKE ON EARTH(YES YAMAHA) GARBAGE LAST YEAR WHEN DORK BOY WAS ON IT? BE SURE TO REMAIN A HATER WHEN BUBBA TAKES THE #1 PLATE ON THAT GARBAGE.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:44 am
chad keep up da hard work…looking really fast…u will get your first win really soon…
January 31st, 2009 at 1:04 am
Never been a Reed fan, till this year! He looks great, by race 6 or 7 he’ll have put it on Bubba.
January 31st, 2009 at 5:57 am
The Track is awesome!!!
January 31st, 2009 at 9:04 am
Now, compare that to Bubba’s video, and I’ll say Reed looks way faster.
Which is true, should be a good race this weekend.
January 31st, 2009 at 9:46 am
Awesome video! The sound of the motor is the best fitting soundtrack ive heard yet (: That idiot was just triing to get you fired up Lutes lol we all love the vids!! Transworld EFFIN ROCKS
January 31st, 2009 at 10:15 am
Dear LUTES: the vid was much appreciated, quality was not! you boys have set a standard, raised the bar to new hieghts for your craft. its a given to expect vids on this site that are top notch, and when you get one like this that doesnt belong on the site, its a bit of a let down. i know you guys are capable of much more. a quality set of pictures rathen then a vid of lego man on riding on chocolate cake would have been much rowdyer and enjoyable to look at.
in the future, maybe run the vid by me, ill give it the “ok” or the “nuh-uh” before it gets posted!
January 31st, 2009 at 10:29 am
Reed looks much faster than last year. Anyway if he wins its because Stewart isn’t familiar to the yamaha yet
January 31st, 2009 at 12:22 pm
he reminds me of the bubba on a kawi. not the style over any jump n through the corners, but through the whoops and how he prepares for the corners. maybe its just the speed, but he definetly isnt riding like reed from 07′, or 08′ for that matter. poor rc in the back, im sure he even hates practicing at less than 100%
January 31st, 2009 at 5:02 pm
holy shit twmx you need a new video player…. i dont think this video could have skipped anymore….
January 31st, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Yeah, so fast he hasnt won yet!! LOL
January 31st, 2009 at 7:48 pm
He is so hott!!!!!
January 31st, 2009 at 7:59 pm
bubba is better
February 1st, 2009 at 4:39 am
so ur saying kyle is a retard? lol
February 1st, 2009 at 2:20 pm
well at least we can all say reeds track has whatever track stewart was riding coverredddddddd
February 1st, 2009 at 8:10 pm
yo bro i think the video player thing u had b4 was a bit more clear this one seems blury
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:17 am
I can´t open the videos and I can be before.
Can you help me? Thanks.
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:04 am
You get to hear bikes better when you ride them. I agree that bike noise sounds good at times in videos but editing riding to cool music takes a lot of time and skill and when you get it ride i think the video’s look amazing. Riding without music is quick to edit but can be quite boring. Music selection is also important. I dont think the guys at Transworld use music that match the video’s to well. Just an opinion.
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:01 pm
he has a badass track.chad reed is damn fast he just needs to get the wholeshot over stewart and hell have it.i wanna see him or villopoto win for a change.
February 5th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
amen yo. hearin the bike on its own screamin is just badass
February 5th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
haha. The old guilt trip, huh Lutes? Lutes, i have made about 4 of these comments, and they have all been deleted within the day. So this time I’ve learned my lesseon, I’m saving this, and I’m just going to keep saying it, over and over again for about 2 or 3 weeks if you keep deleting it. So here it goes, in a shorter version: Nothing is free. This is not a favor. These guys are on the clock like you guys and your parents. If Brendan here wasn’t getting paid he wouldn’t be doing this. THIS IS NOT A FAVOR. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HE IS DOING TO GROW THE SPORT. HE IS DOING IT FOR THE SAME REASON THAT THE PAPER BOY DELIVERS YOUR NEWSPAPER. You are coming on this site and paying a price. You are getting cookies put on your temp internet files. Cookies work like this, for example: Pathmark wants to see how many people are going on their site instead of Acme, they pay TWMX to put 2 cookies on everyone’s computer for every visit, TWMX gets paid by Pathmark. I will not even get started about how they want you to buy the magazine, the more obvious, and upfront form of income. So to end this, this is not free, Lutes is NOT doing you a favor. He is doing the same thing you do, go to work to put bread on the table and he wouldn’t be doing it if he didn’t have to be doing it. Don’t let him tell you to not complain, he just doesn’t want his boss yelling at him because, we, the customers, YES, the customers, are upset.
February 5th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
lol. and TWMX thinks you rock too. You are giving them revenue. The more people that come on the site, the more Pathmark will pay to put cookies on everyone’s computers. So every time you visit, TWMX reports to Pathmark that another person has come on, they get paid more money for putting the same amount of cookies on your computer, your computer eventually crashes. TWMX wins, Brendan makes people feel guilty because he is not doing is job right, and you buy a new computer because you watched too many poor quality motocross videos.
February 5th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
lol Lutes, don’t start crying the blues please about how you had to overcome tech. difficulties, that’s not our problem. We do our job right, you do yours right, provide us with some quality vids.
February 6th, 2009 at 12:57 am
Reedy flies thru those whoops. Too bad they are building Bubba tracks for SX this year. Anyone notice the whoops at San Fran??? They looked nice and big and rough all through both practices. JS had a tough time even getting thru them. Then they cut them in half for the night show. Not so much as a bobble by any rider all night long. Maybe James Stewart Entertainment is paying the track builders.
February 6th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
2nd fastes man alive
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Lets get some photos of his shop!
March 2nd, 2009 at 8:37 pm

May 3rd, 2009 at 9:22 am
You guys are a bunch o whinners. Your gonna put down video clip and the fastest rider in he world. Lets see you do better. put your money where your mouth is. There all fast and faster than you are so deal with it. Get off the couch and quit whinning.
August 10th, 2009 at 2:37 am
