Just finished watching TGO Another Perfect Season and here's how my brain works:

1) I forgot just how GREAT RC looked on his Hondas. The guy beat the crap out of everyone that year!
2) James Stewart is THE baddest mofo to EVER ride a 125 2-stroke mx bike - period. I realize there have been some other great riders (O'Mara, Barnett, Wardy, etc), but NO ONE was as good as James.
3) Ivan Tedesco looked amazing on his Pro Circuit bikes! I really wish IT9 would have been able to step up when he stepped up to the 450s.
4) Davi Millsaps was just too big to ride the 250Fs.
5) I miss seeing Ernesto Fonseca racing. I hope he's alright these days.
6) Matt Walker had BIG balls the way he dealt with Mitch Payton to get his PC ride that year.
7) I feel for Chad Reed - The guy was/is above MOST EVERYONE ELSE, but he had NOTHING for Ricky outdoors. *sidenote: I've really become a fan of Chad's the last few years.
8) One of the coolest 10 second video clips is in the David Villuemin section where they show him in slow-mo, full throttle exiting a turn and casually reaching up to pull a tear off - love it.
9) Broc Hepler needed a helmet that resembled those blow up sumo wrestler costumes to keep him safe. Too bad the kid kept scrambling his brain. I was never really a fan of his, but it seemed like he had potential to kick some serious ass.
10) Kevin Windham - enough said.
11) Did I mention how great RC looked on his red bikes???

Feel free to comment on any of these or to add any of your own. Feel free to tell me to shut up. Start your own thread on any other cool videos...

I love the TGO´s, I own them all, but MAN i´m sick & tired of the slo mo orgies. TGO2 was awesome where they had a section where Brent Myron starts screaming "come on buddaaayy!" as Brown gives the PC 2stroke a handful in a turn. and the Glen Helen part is also awesome!

All in all, good movies. But the slo mo needs to go I reckon

Agree totally with point 9. Hepler had so much potential, and he was flying on those Suzukis, damn shame he couldn't stay healthy, I hope hes doing well these days.

1. Johnny O'Mara.

2. James Stewart.
