Green motocross bike

The green motocross bike from the off-road race in the Extended Look, filmed from the chase camera twice in two seconds with its rider standing on the pegs, and once more, or one finished the same way, side-on in the street parade of Trailer 1.

Both of our race frames are from behind, because both are from the camera that sits over the rider’s shoulder. The bike is a motocross machine in bright green, with white graphics on the rear side panel, a silencer running back along the right side and a knobbly rear tyre on a black rim. The rider stands on the pegs through the rough, in camouflage shorts, a dark crop top with an orange print and a black helmet.

It is a race, though our crops stay on the bike. In the full frame at 18:34.80 the HUD shows LAP 1/2, 11 of 12 and a clock at 00:16.89, with a minimap of the circuit in the other corner, and the off-road racing page reads it.

The course under the wheels is a graded dirt track, rutted and loose. Other riders are ahead in the second frame: a bare-chested rider in a green helmet on a dark bike, two more further up the track, and one down with the bike on its side.

The same bike, or one finished the same way, rides side-on through the street parade of Trailer 1 at 1:06.62, in a second pair of sightings held on this record. The front number board carries a six-character word in white capitals on black, and this is where the site’s own rule bites: on the true pixel grid those capitals measure a shade under the twenty-pixel floor this site reads at, so the word is not printed here as a reading, however plainly it seems to say what it says. The smaller line beneath it is further under the floor. A number board carries a rider or a sponsor rather than a model, so nothing on it would name the bike in any case. That parade frame also shows what the race frames hide: a green front mudguard, a black fork guard with a sticker on it, a white rectangle under the board and a rider in khaki shorts and trainers in white and red.

Against GTA 5 the class is the Sanchez, the game’s motocross bike, and this is the same idea: a tall trail machine with a high front mudguard and long suspension. That is a comparison of shapes and not a name; nothing legible on this bike names it.

How to recognise it

• Bright green motocross bodywork with white graphics on the rear side panel
• Silencer along the right side, knobbly rear tyre on a black rim
• Rider standing on the pegs in camouflage shorts and a black helmet
• In Trailer 1: a green front mudguard and a black fork guard with a sticker on it
• Riders ahead on the dirt in the second race frame, one of them down with the bike on its side
• In Trailer 1: a black number board with an unread six-character word in white

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at 18:36.82. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 844 by 864 of it.

How this was measured

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

• What the number board says. Its capitals sit just under this site’s floor for lettering, so the reading stays off the page; a board carries a rider or a sponsor, not a model, in any case.
• The name, and the manufacturer. Nothing is badged legibly.
• Whether the field of twelve is all the same machine or mixed
• Whether this race is a mission or a repeatable event
• Everything measured: top speed, handling, price, where it spawns
