I don't know about the whereabouts of any video - but if my memory serves me

directly...... I'm thinking it was EZRA LUSK that started that habit of clearing that

people-tunnel-with-no-lip-that-lands-you-into-a-rolling-whoop.....

Never before - in the (very recent) history of motocross, has a rider had the audacity

to make such a unique and damning statement as he did - at the start of moto-two

at Mount Morris. The track , she was rough, the ruts were punishing and there was

nobody (250 or 450) thinking about performing the Carmichael'ian task - of

launching that tunnel - jump. I'm pretty sure it had been ruled out since the days of

the number 4. He didn't NEED to do it. But he did. And that's the kind of schnizzle

that makes these legendary moments - in our fantastic sport - so dangerously

colorful - and unforgettable. We were anticipating Bubba to fill that enormous void

in our sport, when Ricky left motocross and took a BIG chunk of it with him -

but it has been this wild-eyed Frenchman with the crafty dance - moves - that has

gotten our attention. Rock on #377 - and thanks for busting that out.
Dungey beats him for a championship and you bring up one race. Pfft.

Pourcel won 13 motos and Dungey won 7.

Pourcel had a lot more bad luck during that championship and that's the reason why Dungey won. The better rider doesn't always win.

I definitely could have been quoted saying, "holy shit! that was rad" when he busted it. Bad man on a bike. He'll become a fan favorite before he's done I'm certain.

What he did on that jump head in front of all his 250f class to see, head f**ked the rest of his competition into realizing he is on a totally different level. Of course most of them probably knew it deep down inside, but tried to ignore it. However, you can't ignore it any longer when someone launches a jump like that right in front of your face.
LOL.......Cheerful

He is on another level in the 250 class. You can tell(esp in SX)he just sits back there waiting for the rider in front to make a mistake or crash. He's a very heady rider. Absolutely unflappable.

It will be real interesting to watch Pourcel in the 450 class. I think he will-with his smooth style- be a sensation right off the bat. He will also be a very hot commidity! ($,$$$,$$$) Honda!??....you want to return to the "glory days"....here ya go.
Pourcel and Canard.Woohoo

not to mention the little personal adrenaline/mental boost he got from doing it in front of the whole pack... the only thing better would have been to do a look back one hander while flinging the sweat off his chin at the 39 losers behind him Smile

Yep, a couple times.

I think RC was the only one to make it routine, like donuts in a cop car.
