was that the year RC crashed in the whoops at A1 ?
Yes and raced the next couple of rounds with a broken hand I believe.
MJ and Tiger I would add to it. Tiger basically hit what most would call their peak and stayed there for a decade. Unreal. Same with MJ other than taking a year off to play baseball.
That’s what I’m thinking, when RC got walked off the track by two guys one under each arm. I think Ramsey won the race on the new CRF450. Rc was still on the 250.

Same season different races.... Ramsey's win was at Pontiac. A great watch.
M. Jordan is the obvious comparison to Ricky. LeBron is on year 24 as a pro and is still trying to catch up to some of Jordan’s stats. Similarly, Tomac is a top 10 goat of sx/mx, on year 17 as a pro compared to Ricky’s 11yrs, and is nowhere near Ricky in most stats. If you don’t count his weird late career comeback, Jordan had a nearly flawless and compact 12yr career of utter domination basically just like Ricky. McGrath is the MJ of sx. Ricky is the MJ of the entire sport of dirt bike racing period.
DV won that A1 race where RC crashed out. I was 11 years old at the time and sitting in Kawi seating and still remember how loud those boos were for RC for switching to Honda lol
If you want to talk about RC's near misses, the injury that saw him miss the 2004 SX season was a blessing in disguise; he wouldn't have won that one.
But what happened happened and he retired undefeated. RC is the GOAT and will always be the GOAT.
Easy to say but RC had switched to the 450 right before doing his knee. Windham won like 5 races against Chad on that bike. Hard to imagine Ricky doesn’t have that plus more covered. Gotta err on the side of the GOAT. I don’t think Windham beat RC 5 times from 05-retirement
RC, I’m pretty sure was still on a smoker when he sat out the 04 Supercross season to get his knee fixed. When he came back to ride 04 outdoors, I believe he started riding the 450. Went undefeated and then went to Suzuki in 05. I’m positive Reed was on a smoker when he won the 04 SX championship. Seemed like 04 there were still a lot of guys on smokers. KW was on a CRF though.
Nope. He was going to ride the 450 in 04 SX
He's always said his '04 450 is one of his favorite bikes ever
I think the year he won his 125 SX title was also a perfect season in that championship.
