44 years old, won his first 250 championship in 1993 and still looks smooth hammering out the Anaheim Supercross course in 2016. Unreal...

I'd say the dude will still be capable of hitting everything on the track when he's well into his 60's. Now that would be cool.

I was never a big fan when I watched him win everything. But now, what at awesome MX/SX ambassador of the sport!!

I agree, I don't see it ever happening.

I'm a little biased, but he really makes that Thor gear look great too...

It's going to take a smooth hard hitter that comes out winning from the start with no injuries along the way to even get close to his win numbers. Probably never going to happen, in fact probably none will get close to doing it. He unleashed an incredible reign of terror for many years. Truly the King of Supercross.

Back when it came out, that clip changed my life. Seriously, had i never saw that, the last 15 years of my life would have looked completely different.

Who was the idiot at Honda to let him slip out of their hands?

What an asset for Kawasaki!

Any Video out there? I saw him just a couple of seconds in Anaheim. Nice to see him ride.

Bingo! MC will never be topped. He's the coolest of the cool.

the level of coolness attained in that clip will never be matched by a moto video.

The "king" of supercross, but Nick Wey is 100% better at the onboard lap IMO.

The barbed wire fence huck at 00:24 was an ode to Steve McQueen (The Great Escape).

I doubt Dungey knows who Steve McQueen is.

Great post, complete with Face To Face musical accompaniment. It seems like 100 years ago when motocross was that cool.

Agreed. All props to him even though I wanted LaRocco to wax him.

You're probably right. It's unlikely that Dungey wastes much time watching movies. Hannah would say, "He's got the blinders on."..... When he starts being a film buff, maybe he'll stop trying to break Bubba's legs and all the whiney boys will be happy.
