I’m trying to think of the best I’ve ever seen a rider hit a corner. Weird question, I know, but 3 come to mind for me. Marvin Musquin 7 minutes into Tampa 2018, Fro literally says “Whoa! Did you see that!??!!” And it was amazing. Eli Tomac at Washougal 2018 passing Roczen shortly after the finish line, true beast mode. Masterpool at SMX Vegas this year, Moto 2. Any shouts from the past that I’m missing out on? I feel like Steve Lamson has nailed a couple corners in his time
Everts passing Bubba standing on the pegs
bradshaw, shougal.
Prado railed a good one at A1 this year.
Deegan hit a 180 bowl turn at Glendale in 2024 at warp speed.
Not really “railing” a corner, but Bagget’s pass on Eli at Thunder Valley was nasty.
First that comes to mind is that outside pass Tomac had on Jett this year during supercross. I wanna say it was SD?

Crazy that was so recently, but I already forgot. That was incredible
Bagget’s pass was one of the filthiest things ever, good shout
Jeffery standing on the pegs all the way thru passing TC222
Roczen, I think maybe Millville… the inside pass on I think Webb… idk I can’t remember, but it was ultra clean.
Tomac has made too many too count.
RV has made some impressive passes.
The Carmichael,Reed,Stewart era was unbelievable.
Guy Cooper had an awesome one around one of those walled bowl turns they used briefly in supercross. I can't recall the exact year but I think it was '93 or '94.
That one year TP199 designed the St. Louis supercross track…he had one corner that dudes were railing! I think I remember J-Law, and Pastrana himself hitting it.
I don't remember what year but I remember watching Jessy Nelson at Glen Helen and no one could touch him in the corners. We were by the left after Taladega and nobody was railing that turn like him. I looked for a video and found this one. Mach 5 around Taladega and then check the left under the bridge, he was flying. Also a reminder of how badass the track was that year 😶
Jeff Emig...
Completely off topic, but Jessy Nelson has to be one of the most underrated dudes to ever race. The dude absolutely hauled ass.

Maybe not the best, but special mention worthy- Damon Bradshaw going outside to holeshot Anaheim 1990
Replay at about 33:30 in the video.
This is what I was gonna post. Malin's commentary for that pass is permanently etched in my mind
I think that was on Webb was at High Point? On the Honda right?
On the other hand, I just remembered this corner by Kenny at Millville in 2016 on Marv. Thing of beauty (@4:30)
Pit Row
My personal favorite
My reaction was exactly like Malin’s. My jaw was on the floor. 2018 Herlings at his absolute peak.
waaaaay to many goated corners from those aliens to only pick just a few
If you've never seen those ruts in person, you cannot properly comprehend how awesome that move was.
I feel Tomac had a crazy inside rut he railed in 2017 SX, can't remember the round, but I thought he came from way back to win
Passing Ryno
A slightly different take to the question, but this guy could rail some turns!
The opening scene on Children of a Metal God? I stretched the VHS tape
There is another one of Herlings that I can never find. It's a slowed down video of him going through a turn hitting a little bump, jumping, and continuing to destroy the turn in the air and when he lands.
That one always sticks out to me. Maybe someone here knows the one I'm talking about and can find the video.
SX, DV on RC after RC took out TP, the crowd cheering for a Frenchman
I know exactly what you’re talking about, and have no idea how to find it after looking for the last 5 minutes or so, lol
