Not the best, but 2011 Washougal stands out to me. The hometown boy RV was riding his aggressive ass off. Dungey on the other hand looked like Kdub out on a joy ride. RV got schooled in the end that day.

I'm not that high on his Southwick ride... We've seen guys come from way back in Nationals before and he got to 7th on a sand track... It was great but not herculean, just dramatic because the way he was caught out IMO.

Two good ones chasing down RV, Minneapolis 13 and Vegas 08. RV was the man and they were two occasions where Dungey actually ran him down.

He was also on fire the end of the 14 nationals trying to catch Kenny, was riding with a lot of fucking intensity.

Southwick. Being an RV fan I was laughing as I watched the pack leave without him. Then he started and just got closer and closer and closer. I gained more respect for Dungey that race than any of his previous achievements.

Southwick for sure! Also the day at freestone his gas boiled, just because I got to witness it first hand. He absolutely made everyone look like amateurs that day. Also one time I think in '11. He caught and passed RV at spring creek one moto. He was on fire. He passsd RV so hard without even touching him, RV fell. Epic.

SX: There were some races towards the end of SX last year where he pretty much had the title on lock and could have just mailed it in, but he wouldn't let Ken have any of it. That was peak Dungey. Vegas 15 against Tomac was pretty impressive too.

MX: 2009 MXdN, that was impressive for his first 450 race. 2011 Millville moto 2 where he passed Villopoto who proceeded to crash.

Not sure about the best ride of his career, but his first pro race ever on a 450, and first MXdN ever-as team CAPTAIN no less-was in 2009 at the MXdN in Italy, He went 3-1 to win the MX1 overall individual title and lead Team USA to its 20th victory on a track he had never seen, and he did it in his usual way...be top 3 fast and don't crash.

Southwick! He was ready to punt his helmet, he was so mad and his mom was there yelling at him to relax. Got on the track just before being lapped and finshed second. Awesome ride!

I went to the Minneapolis race where he caught and passed RV at his home race. The entire race as they made there way around the track each lap, the crowd would stand up and cheer as they passed each section. It was like watching "the wave" you see get started in big stadiums following them around the track. It was unreal to watch! And how load the crowd was, was insane too. Then after the race I was at a bar across the street and the entire place was yelling "DUNGEY, DUNGEY, DUNGEY!!". The atmosphere was electric. It was such a cool experience.

He had a few season saving moments this year. If he didn't give 100% after he hit the deck in those few races, that 5 point gap would have easily given the season to Tomac.
