Who do you all consider some of the all-time greats of the opening ceremonies besides K-Dub? My pick is DV. Those wheelies where he stood on the seat were pretty cool.

josh hill, because his intro song on the dj system kicked ass

But on another note... MCGRATH!!!! Only ride to come out to a legit ass song "Bad to the bone" Hands down best intro ever in my eyes plus he threw the nac nac out there.

I remember seeing MC and RC doing a hot lap to "Blind" by Korn while throwing nac nacs, can cans and whips. I think it was Vegas but it may have been Salt Lake. Epic as shit.

I thought the way JS7 was introduced in Atlanta this past year was really cool. He was dressed like Prince and there was a video to watch before he even got on his bike. I think they played "Let's Go Crazy".

JS at San Diego goes for a step-on to nose wheelie during opening ceremonies and goes over the bars from the top of the step-on over the backside and down into the g out with his bike on top of him. Man He was so gracious about it when they asked him. But it was the funniest thing I ever saw.

Then DV falling off during a seat wheelie.

JS7 carry the Japan Flag after the Tsunami was very cool I thought too.

But nothing gave me the chills like MC doing his thing....we will NEVER see anyone like him again in SX. Blessed to have been there every year!!

I remember that one. Definitely a powerful moment.

Another is when Nick Wey came out at Bercy with a chainless chainsaw.

Travis Pastrana's at St Louis in 2009 was pretty cool.

Trey Canard's "Smoky and the Bandit" at Atlanta in 2011 was awesome too.

Ryan Villopoto coming out to his season ending crash from 2010 at A1 in 2011 was a good one.

Kevin Windham definitely takes the best one though. Pretty much anytime he's in the Opening Ceremonies.
