Really cool to see Ricky Carmichael interviewed by the Off Camera Show and the interviewer Sam Jones seems to know a good bit about Supercross/Motocross

This is the best video I've ever seen on vital.

I know both the families, and there is so much respect between those two riders.

Story:
GatorBack
Ricky riding 1st 125 national
During practice

Riding over to the Stewart camp- along the spectator fence: canapy next to me (10' away) on the side of the track (before the elevator), to talk with ?big James?

James is like 11 years old. Didn't hear the words.

These guys are friends - like it or not.

Any problems will wash out with time.

These will be old Men soon with racing stories.

Now that would be cool. Get both of those guys in a room with a camera and a host like this Sam Jones guy? That would be one of those shows you never want to end.

Pretty self explanatory I thought.

But if you need your hand held, there's another video there where he explains that halfway through the first year of racing him they started to anticipate how each other rode/passed, which in turn led to better racing (and bubba not landing on rc as much after unadilla)


Bit annoying that the interview is uploaded into 6 different videos, but that channel is pretty cool!

Thanks for that... still not appropriate use of the phrase. The way he phrased it would have been more apt for describing the length of time he raced Reed....

Reed was never a thorn in RC's side like Stewart was.

Are you fucking kidding?

You're either being a dickhead to wind me up, or you never watched SX 03-07?!

I mean, FFS, Reed won more races his rookie season against RC. Bet RC loved that shit.

On a side note, RC has definitely been doing some media training. He's gotten waaaaay better over the off-season. Wander if that was what he was referring to as his goal.

Ha ha! Agree. James caught RC at the end of his career while he was just having fun. RC and Reedy. Full-on warrior mode.

Even if he said it about KW. Yeah it's a minor phrasing thing... but going back to my other post... well.

PED's never hurt either did they Ricky?

But the defenders of his legacy will be up in arms with what I say...just like they defended Lance to the bitter end...

Shots fired.

Do people seriously believe that though? Wouldn't that mean RV, Dungey, Musquinn, Anderson, Osborne, Weimer, Rattray, Bagget and Ciancurulo also did it?

Couldn't be just hard work and he was really fucking good could it?

I took it to mean that, the last couple of years that RC raced period, racing against James was fun.

Really? And what exactly is your proof? Oh yeah that's right. None. You are just slandering him. Do you get some kind of weired enjoyment slandering people? Hope you don't abuse animals too.

Are you a joke or are you a joke? There's really only those two options based on your post.

Yeah...it could be just that. RC set a new standard for "training your ass off". He hated to lose more than anybody, because he always knew he was in better shape and deserved to win...no matter who he competed against. You don't go from being a chunky little freckled kid to a lean fighting machine without putting 100% into it.

I'm a JS7 fan, but I give all the credit due to RC...he was a freaking monster!
