I'm not sure how it would make Reed feel. First off, RC put it to him when it mattered (which isn't now).

Second, RC doesn't ride or train like he was when it was still his full time occupation. I'm sure he's still following some sort of regimen, but nothing like it was.

I just wonder how much more speed RC picked up "by the end of the day".
Why don't you guys get your own lives and let Chad and Ricky live theirs.

All this bullshit came up because someone thought Chad (which he said nothing) looked like he was enjoying passing RC.

Nothing wrong with that.

Kinda different situation. McGrath was still training, racing, and trying to win titles.

Reed's beating a retired RC who's doing little more than helping train the team riders.

Great video. Love it. You can tell it was bugging RC to not be able to really beat Chad there, and he said how he'd get there by the end of the day!
I thought that was funny as hell how he said he would get there by the end of the day. What do you think was going thru Reeds head when RC said that? Hahaha!!

Ricky has always been humble. Yes it might suck to get passed easily like that. However, he is there to do a job remember? His job is to help Chad and from what everyone has said, it was a positive thing. I bet it was loads of fun. Quite fishing.

The sport just hasn't been the same since RC left...I have lost virtually all interest in pro mx/sx, since then, and I used to follow the sport religiously.

It's good to see the big ol' numero quatro on the track again...good to see.

Optimism is nice, but reality says no.

You didn't see the "Let Reed Bye" sign DeCoster was holding up?

Reality? Whos reality? You guys are handing JS the title before the first gate falls in Anaheim. I will be the first to say James is the best SX rider I have ever watched, but hes human and his body is just as breakable as anyone elses. One accidental digger and it could be sideline time.

One critique, you need to do these more often. I really look forward to your films and this one was great. I like the part where you were showing the young guys and then RC, Reed and fade to DeCoster. Also very nice colour and clarity, wish I had your talent.

I wish i had Reed's talent ... or even what talent is in RC's big toe.

It had to be weird for them both at the begining, they were fierce competitors and RC's old mechanic working for the enemy.

I'm sure it took a bit of readjusting.

RC and CR would've been having a ball without all the pressure, just cuttin' laps.

Yep. That's where he really needs to make up ground on James, cuz James has got whoops dialed. He's looking good!

That was sweet, good to see RC all tired and out of shape. He could probably still beat every other pro besides JS/CR. I bet there's a small part of RC that didn't like being passed by Reedy, but he's done what he needed to do , the guy has nothing to prove.

Note to Ricky "DON'T FUCKING GO GETTIN HURT NOW" go enjoy your shitloads of money and fame, and if you want PM me I'd love to go whoop it up with you and your crew.

How long has Reed wanted to have RC on a track (esp his) with a set of big whoops?

Reed had to be thinking this was 2002 or 2003 again!!!!

It sure is good to see RC on a bike for sure. This has been a good week of MX videos, first MC, then RC and then Reed making RC look like a back marker.

Thanks again!!!

I'm a James fan all the way, but I see Reed getting closer to James this year. Reed has alot of confidence in that Suzuki. He did not have that in the Yamaha and he was never comfortable on the Yamaha 450. His confidence in his bike will almost get him to James' level. I just hope James has as much confidence in that Yami as Reed does in his Suzuki. If that Yamaha boggs the way Reed says, it could be desaster for James at the speed he goes.

Then I would say that you are an RC fan rather than a motocross or supercross fan.

Nothing humble about Ricky. That’s one of the qualities that have helped him become the champion that he is.
