Could that be done any faster on a motocross bike? I doubt it.

Yes, I agree with you. I used to race dirt bikes and it seems to me that the huge difference in weight would make a dirt bike slower and more difficult to control.

You can see he is "in the zone" and just plugged in to that bike. Smooth and flowing ..... the narration was great, too.

I also agree a dirt bike would be slower. The bike, with it's light weight and very light wheels can change direction much quicker than a motorcycle. That's also what makes downhill mountain racing so doggy .... that skittish bike, iffy traction and the rough trail.
