It can capture a moment in history, an era, or simply define the sport of motocross. Post your favorites!

As a kid, one of my favorite memories of James was seeing him scrub Henry Hill for the first time at Budds Creek.

RC opening up the 2004 season with a 1-1, that would later become another perfect season.

More shots from that season.

JMB

Villopoto's historic ride at Budds Creek

This signifies the MXDN in my opinion.

Speaks for itself.

Two legends.

The famous 86' Bailey Johnson battle.

Does anyone have the full-sized ad to this?

and this..

The GOAT

James crashing out of the 2003 Las Vegas SX (and removing any chance at winning the outdoor title)

You all know this one..

and this one..

Dungey got a lot of slack for "riding conservatively" to win titles, but he also had the grit and heart to dig down deep, too.

A young James celebrates his first pro motocross win.

I have more, but figured I wouldn't steal the show either. Post your favorites!

Thanks, I figured there was a topic like that somewhere but couldn't find anything right away. There's a lot of golden shots in that thread, too.

Stewart on a 125 hitting laroccos leap

To me watching him have to ride this bike to its absolute limit of performance seat bounce the hell out of it and still have to bring the front up like a sail just to get over the leap is way more badass than watching the 13th place guy hit a quad in supercross on a 450.

Glad someone shared this. To me this is the most iconic pic in our sports history. The two greatest of all time, one on his way out of his career the other on his way in. This was one of the most important times in the sports history as well. To me it always will be. I remember this hung on the wall at the local mx shop when I was racing as a kid and it was like the same effect as hanging Jesus on the wall in your house. I remember the changing of the guard from the king to the goat as it was happening and it was incredible.
