No way that dude is 7ft. He is lucky to be 6 inches taller then mosi.
I just looked at his insta. He ain't that tall. He is the winner.

Rick is a heckuva off road racer also. He competes in AZ. And the nicest guy ever.

The last premier class AMA Motocross or Supercross champion over 6ft tall was Mike Bell over 40 years ago in 1980.

If you want to see something really funny, get on YouTube and look up the video of De Dyker racing an 85 at one of the Everts & Friends events 7 or 8 years ago. Dude was getting after it for being 5X bigger than the bike.

Arminas Jasikonis is 6'5'', the 450 looks like an 85 sometimes, when he stands on pegs in all height.

Here's another perspective of Ric Smits to ad to Mr. Teds :



I couldn't find the pictures of him that are even more 'startling' with regards to his height and dwarfing of bikes. One was a side on view of him on a mid 70s Maico, the other standing behind his Italian era Husky, at either the ISDE, or a qualifying event for it.

Here's one of my favourite pictures of a Great Man - Herbert Schek ; a Big Bloke going for it in a Big way, on a Bloody Big Bike - a Six Days BMW GS :

Great pic of a tall rider using his height see the weight he putting on the outside rear for the off camber corner. Damon Huffman is another tall rider 6,2 or 3. JMB was about 6,1 or so. I stopped growing at the beginning of 10th grade 6,1 3/4 grew some more in my 20,s to 6,2. Being 5,8 in in 6th grade you hear a ton of tall jokes. Like how’s the weather up there, can you see the iL. State line from up there, can you see shawano lake from up there. Some r pretty good.

Kornel Nemeth from Hungary. He came to race in Canada and he was easily the biggest dude out there.
