This is all in fun so keep it light yo!
top 5 reasons MC15 had a better rookie season
5. Bradshaw, Stanton, Bayle, Cooper, LaRocco, Kiedrowski, Matiasevich(count the titles among those) they lined up every night...MC destroyed them...
4. 1993 Cr 250(badass mofo...take that todd potter)
3. he passed the defending champ, then beat him repeatedly, he didn't 'almost' beat him, once...
2. BMX kid turned dirtbike legend, it's just a better story...
1. 100% Cotton Jerseys
top 5 reason RD5 won this year...
5. he won...a couple races
4. he almost beat the upright defending champ, once, almost...
3. twitter, racerx, transworld, vitalmx, tv...its easier now
2. his heavily criticized NIKE boots didn't break his legs when he bailed
1. He won...thats all that matters...
I like RD5, he is a great champion(minus a meltdown a few weeks ago that required screaming at Josh Hill). MC was beast and those of us who care about this sport should remind the babies what legend is...RD5 will have to win 6 more titles in a way more impressive fashion to ever be close to remembered in the same sentence as MC. It won't happen...
kachoww!

One thing Dungey has on MC though, is that he survived a class series (450) in a class that inevitably wiped out most of the best riders in the world. How many riders were lost due to injuries on 250s, in 93? The only big crash I can recall is Stanton's endo over one of the triples in Pontiac (not sure how many races, if any, it took him out of though).
The Shop
Stanton - One year away from retirement.
Bayle - Did he race that year?
Cooper - Crowd favorite but not a title contender.
Kiedrowski - He was the only real threat that year.
Chicken - The downward sprial had already begun that year.
Keep in mind that MC is my all time fav but I really don't think he had that much competition that year.
1. Jeremy McGrath (372 - Champion)
2. David Vuillemin (337)
3. Mike LaRocco (302)
4. Kevin Windham (278)
5. Ricky Carmichael (263)
That was your year man. Finishing runner up to the king and beating the rock, the smoothest rider ever and the goat is no small task.
I can't wait till he actually starts trying then.
Guess we should put an asterisk next RC's name for his '02 championship.
The best guys would be at the top in any generation.
Funny thing about competition, when someone is kicking ass it always looks like there is no comp.
He won races AND did nac nacs on the last lap, starred in free style videos, 'played' on his motorcycle, dived out of helicopters, could string a sentence together and even had his own rookie year rap song! haha.. J-J-J-J-eremy, Jeremy, Jeremy... Jeremy McGraaaath.. Surprised clips from Showtime hasn't surfaced on here or youtube!
Can you imagine how good a champion like that would be in this day an age? Minus the shit rap song.
i know the money wasn't as good, but man, looked like the pros of the 90s had a lot of fun off of the track compared to these modern day athletes!
Don't think for one second that if you took MC in his Prime and plugged him into today's series that he wouldn't evolve and adapt better than just about anybody out there. Of course things were different back then. But Jeremy had the type of talent to adapt to any situation.
MX might be a different story but SX? Forget about it.
Pit Row
how old is he?????
DV12 had the best reply in here.
Congratulations to Ryan Dungey 2010 SX Champion. RD worked his tail off to earn this title and nobody can take anything away from him because your hero's had some bad luck and were not able to finish the season.
A simulated race of champions!!!
Dungey must be pretty special to be even close to being compared.
Maybe we could call him the prince.
Dungey has a long way to go.
If he wins to 450MX as a rookie he will do something very special that no one has ever done and maybe never will do again a record of all records.
To win 450MX and 450SX in your rookie year WOW!!
