Speaking of Barcia...

RC

Wait, there is still a 1900 pro race number I can call to get updates on races without having to come on vital and sift through threads whining about announcers and commercials on live supercross broadcasts.......

I still have that RC Fox poster of him at what I assume was a test track on the Honda. Huge triple and whipped out in the sky...such a sweet poster. Wish Fox or whoever would still do posters like that. I've also got the Bubba one at Budds Creek on the 125, was there that race, I always thought that was cool.



That super popular picture of RC with McGrath... McGrath has something behind his head/back that makes him look like some sort of cyborg to me. Always wondered what that was. Cool pictures!!!

Remember watching Red Bud one year. Ricky was showing off an whipping his Cr250 over Larocco’s Leap.
For some reason, whipping a 2 stroke just looks cooler.

MC had fireworks/sparklers that were supposed to go off his helmet when he hit a button on his bars over the triple. It never ignited and RC was mid barrel roll when he looked over

I can't even imagine how many times I searched for that video on the youtube over the years.

RC’s ability to hold onto his bike and ride out a sketchy moment was unmatched. He knew how to hold on at all costs. And when he did crash he was getting back on the bike asap.

Man it's been so long since they raced you forget just how good these guys where in their day, I went back and watched some 04/05/06 era SX and it's fucking amazing RC/CR/JS like fuck there has been noting like that since.
Awesome whips on race day were just another reason why that era is still the best to date.
I can’t see an iconic RC whip photo without thinking of Reedy and Stew doing similar.

Underated about RC? It's clear as day if you watched him race outdoors.

It's his BALLS. They are HUGE!

His talent, everyone always talks about his training and how he wasn't talented, but he was a badass indoors and out before his maga training days. He went undefeated in his regional SX title...

I saw the build board in Florida in 97, so cool in real life.

Fun fact. It's been 2 (two) 450 mains since Marvs last Win.
Come on man, "can't seem to win anymore."

When Justin Bogle won at Colorado on the RCH Suzuki 450 he was throwing crazy Nac Nac’s and whips on his last lap. It was awesome, I remember yelling at the tv because it was pumping me up lol. Seeing someone winning, throwing fat whips, nac nac’s, in a pro race is just awesome.

2009 Legends Race

All of RIcky,s cr250 and kx125 whips are unreal. Nobody whipped it with that kind of aggression.

Maybe I am dreaming, but it seems like people whip more than ever, its just part of the riding style today.

Yeah. It was a really good one too. I had video of it on my phone for a while, but I was filming across the track on the hill section, so it was a bit shaky. Even zoomed in 100% and shaking like crazy it still looked badass.

That was a great day for Ken. Too bad Plessinger couldn't stay on him, because it was shaping up to be a great moto.

Scrubbing to stay low and throwing fatty pancake whips when you win are two different things
