we all have certain things that stick in our memories from times gone by. Kdubs transfers/bubbas scrubs etc
one thing that sticks in my mind (bare with me) is RC when he was on pro circuit, he was leading at southwick in 99 i believe. Anyway it was on the downhill into a lefthander then switched right, ricky used the breaking bumps to hop through the corner wide open. it still amazes me how these guys do the shit they do.
maybe not the most exotic thing but im all about how they get around corners.

Also anything Bubba did on his kx125 amazed me.
The Shop
RC figures out a new place to pass in a section nobody was doing. Whenever a Pro does whatever it takes to win.
Falta and a couple other CZ riders would straighten the curve cutting from outside to inside,hitting the jump in the apex of the curve with their handlebars over lapping the steel fence post while in the air.

So many to list, I'd say bubba hitting the wall jump at Daytona immediately after he weeded his shit in I believe 2010? He rag dolled and was wobbly getting back on the bike, only to send the wall jump about 45 seconds later.
Pit Row
We have every round on VHS. It was 3 separate tapes. haha
Oh the good old days!!
I miss the 90s.
..Chicken and Bradshaw rivalry was insane!!
Tomac's high speed wheelie through the whoops at Daytona this year.
Stewart jumping that gatorback thing a few years ago at Daytona... right before he KO'd himself.
Anything Bradshaw did in 1989!!
I like how often their feet are off the pegs. Look in jumps pics and whoop pics and all over. I'm always amazed how light they are on the pegs.
At Hangtown there is an uphill whoop/rhythm section. After working on the start line all day I always make it a point to make it up there after the last gate drop. I am always just floored at the commitment they make entering it. You can feel the ground shake when they pound through them. Blows me away every year. The baddest and knarliest rider through there do date for me is Bagget a few years ago on the 250. Huge balls through there! Here was the entry to it this year which brings up another thing Ruts! I don't know how they do it! They pinned it through here!
