This is a good watch narrated very well By Born A Goon.

Some things in here I never knew.

Ricky is the G.O.A.T, I enjoy Chase and Jett for there effortless style but I much prefer Ricky and also Villopoto for there hang it out style!! They both looked like they were millimeters from crashing but kept it on 2 wheels and Won multiple championships😎

As far as visually appealing, I don't think it gets any better than RV for me. He rode like he was angry at the track. As far as RC, I was watching some old races lately and I was shocked at how much he sat down. That really goes for all those guys back then. We see modern technique but it's not put into proper context how much it's changed until you watch an old race

Cool video, I sometimes think about timing in Motocross, think about how James Stewarts career may have turned out and the additional AMA Championships he could have won, had it not been for that Pesky GOAT pushing him to ride on the ragged edge to win and the crashes it caused him and shortening his career.  Must be frustrating for great SX/MX racers that had it not been for that one faster guy that hogged all the wins and championships, they themselves might have been considered The Goat.   This video with RC and McGrath and Ricky talking about Jett Lawrence's skill says something, because if anyone knows what it takes to be the best, it's him.

How good Ricky was when the bike was wildly out of shape is always crazy to me, like the downhills at Glen Helen and similar.

Guess if your as short as RC is you have no choice?, As stated in the video he rode with the back end sagged and the bars down low to help his stature.

Out of determination he made it work.

YES. This just came across my feed today and got thru half of it. Puts a lot of emphasis on how hard it was to beat MC and then he never let him win again. Then Reed came up and threw a wrench in his '03 party, but had already done most of the work in the beginning half of the season. Then Stewart.... Dude is the Goat for a reason. All around best Motocross racer ever. Indoors or Outdoors. MC was the KING of Supercross and will never be dethroned.

I agree about the RV track attack. But Tomac's Beast Mode literally punished the tracks..

Yeah I didn't even take into account his height. Didn't he remove seat foam early in his career?

He removed seat foam, lowered the subframe, ran a soft rear end, with a lot of rebound dampening, ran the bar mounts in the rear position, with bar clamps offset to the rear, and rolled the bars back.

Not a comfortable position for normal sized or tall riders!
