Dungey is much better than he gets credit for.

One year at Millville, that big downhill, Dungey was carrying crazy speed down that hill, yet he was smooth as silk doing it.

Herlings on a rough sandtrack.

Would be cool to have that feeling for a moment, instead of you’re self when you hit every hole and bump Grinning

Would have said Kdub, period. End of story. But Jett and prime Pourcel definitely make the podium

Sometime back in '87, I was spectating at my local track when the local boy, Mike Craig, put on a clinic. He was wearing that red, white & cyan JT gear on a Yamaha and busting out a ridiculous double made of two tabletops, coming out of a right-hand turn. He had a small, half mullet waving in the wind out behind his new-for the times full-face JT helmet. I don't think I saw anything as cool before or since. I wish I could ride like Stingray: loose, relaxed, fast and totally in control.

Y'all ever watch Chad Reed in '04 Supercross on his YZ250? His style was silky smooth at that point. I'm sure it would feel incredible to flow through an SX track the way he did.

Outdoors? When Tomac is on, he destroys a track like no other. One year at Washougal, either '18 or '19, he absolutely decimated that left-handed 180 after the finish. That looks pretty fun as well.

Or perhaps Danny Hamel!!

But actually it'd be Billy Bolt or Graham Jarvis.
Danny Hamel, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. RIP.

Cole Seely or Lil Hanny in the modern era.


But the way Reed rode that YZ250 in the early 2000's looked so effortless and would always dip the front through sections. just looked cool hhaha

The way Hamel used to hang way out over the front of that KX Five Hundy while wide open across the desert was something else! And I think he had x-ray vision or something and could see through turns, hills, brush...nobody could read terrain like that guy...Another legend gone way way way to soon.

Kenny and Stefan.

Arguably the finest race of Kenny's career thus far:



Typical Everts. Just look at how he is at 5:20 vs say 33:05... No difference. Seemingly on a trail ride while he marches away from a very determined and fast Josh Coppins.

Christophe Pourcel
I remember a few years back at the Muddy Creek National he did 1 lap for qualifying, came back to the Husky hauler and walked out with his dog, eating an ice cream, and he took the pole position, he walked over to the fence and watched all the others cutting laps. He also nodded to his mechanic while walking out, and my 8 year old son got a front number plate. I'm a fan.

Gordon Keck. Not a pro, not the fastest. But always looks like he’s having fun. Super talented

Travis said riding with Kevin in practice was like riding with God, but race day it rarely showed up. I’d pick James or JMB.

How is James not the obvious choice here? I get wanting to ride like Hanny, but James can do stuff no one else can.
I love James but I also enjoy not being in the hospital.

Jett. He’s going to learn so much in the next couple of years.

not a lot of good video of him but Marty Tripes made it look easy. I'd like to ride like him.

JLaw was fun to watch when he was feeling it, I'd like to ride like him too.

Windham, of course -

Arvee had that cool steer with the rear wheel/balls out all the time thing going but I don't think I'd like that for me.

#377 -- so smooth.

Active riders I'd say Webb or Eli. Eli on the YZ is different/better, so Eli on a YZ.
