We were there and had the pit passes...
15:38 Bailey predicts the future. Pretty amazing commentary when you think about it. Watching this whole race, Bailey is the sum of what all of us want in a commentator. He gives real time insights we could only dream of today, and he does with the classic David Bailey style he raced with. Amazing.
Carmichael humbled himself so much, starting with the boos from the King entrance in the 250'w (I think it was 2002), then even more so since then. I love seeing his interview when he was mentally the destroyer and knew it. I love humility, and I love RC, but it's cool to watch him saying it like it is - I'm the best and no one can f*ck with me,
The ‘new’ tracks suck compared to these older tracks. These tracks allow for creativity and imagination to set faster lap times. The new tracks have almost the exact same rhythm for every rider and class. RC was great! And I loved the way he destroyed his wheels on his cool-down lap! Biggest whips ever!
🐐 🐐 🐐
Better than any football game.
Where did he do that one massive upside down whip?
Got a chance to talk with RC at gainsville before he went mitch team an johnny Omara was able to keep RC focused RC had a great mechanic in chad watts super solid wrench RC was so solid of a rider....just really focused from day one...
Chad watts looks about as 1998 as it gets. If he wasn’t chad watts I would punch that guy lol
That track was gnarly
Brian Deegan racing!
Mike Brown was faster @ PC , ask Mitch
i kinda have seen mr ricky carmichael n gainesville n 125 class n 1997 back then
Sound💣💣💣💥💥💥
you can be a mike bell at 6'2 or rc at 5'4 and kick ass i love the different sizes it makes it fun i the best size is like 5'6 to 5'8 140-170 pounds
brian deegan lol
I used to record these on 📼
grew up sitting on papas lap watching ricky rise to god level. him dads boss and our baby sitters son. met ricky multiple times and always was the nicest person
The goat
I miss Pontiac Silverdome. Saw a few SX races in there.
The G.O.A.T.
take me back! so much cooler back then!
I’ve just watched a video of James steward in his 125 sx days and have to say imo he was a level above Ricky on a 125 ,, it may only be the 2 videos I’ve watched back to back but steward looked on fire
Those were the good ole days, two strokes wailing with the smell of bean oil and Marlboros. Fast forward to 2020 and its four strokes, with forty genders and it's racist to arrest a criminal.
Pronounced Ray-nard not Ray-nerd.
😍😍😍
Has Mitch Payton ever been Young?? I swear he's the Morgan Freeman of Motocross 👴🏻🔂😂😂
Anyone miss screaming down the railroad tracks in 6th gear wide open..?
I dont really watch supercross anymore because theres no 2 strokes in the races.
@mars Funny how what I say effects your psyche I didn't mean to cramp your style. In this country you can say whatever you want. That's what's so great. Not a great way to make friends. If friends isnt your point than what is it? Didnt your mother teach you, "if you dont have anything nice to say than dont say anything at all?" I remember my grandma used to say that. Oh well you cant please everyone. Hope your having a better day.
Raced my kx60 on the ametuer day. Panhandle was so cool jumps insane for even ametuer on big bike.
Was there as a kid. Awesome
Almost looks like it's in slow motion compared to today's 250 races
#5 Brian deegan
I noticed that too, I knew he raced, but I never realized he was that good at racing before he transitioned into Freestyle full time.
Back when supercross was worth watching! It ain't like it was back then.
Kelly smith on the pds shocker
A star of the future..lol the Goat
Supercross isnt the same anymore. Need to to go back to 2 stroke and make it exciting again
Reynard didn't need a 2nd place to boost his f-ing confidence...go search for *_1998 Unadilla 125 MX Moto 1_* & watch as Carmichael gets a huge lead & watch Reynard come from a mediocre start, catch Carmichael, pass him, and Carmichael not be able to stick with him...
Casey Lytle, I forgot all about him
I was good friends with him in HS, we used to go riding in the hills behind our homes. He was insane on anything! He'd jump anything with a slope.
Earned his first #1 plate here, and kept one of them for the rest of his 10.5 year career. 15 championships, will never be beat in our regressive future. We are all "average" already. Deport the FIM!
bEcAuSe SoCiALiSm! Lol...
This was back when you had to have good corner speed to clear the next section and we barely had enough power to do it. Today, with 65hp, they could stop at the beginning of every corner, and clear the next section. Corner speed became a reduced factor. Does that make us faster or slower?
I suspect socialism has caused our slow corner speed.
RC, 150 points going into Pontiac, won every race so far, (math says Pontiac is the 7th round of the series). Why can't a racer dominate like that today? Because the FIM makes the tracks so every body is the same speed, as much as they can. If you can't win 4 races in a row, you can gain the confidence to be great like RC was.
Just because you think you're right doesn't mean you are.
Nonsense.
I sure wish there was footage available from a headcam on Ricky’s lid from almost ANY of the old races from this era! Especially of Carmichael on a 1-2-5👏👍
Yea, I often thought of what it looks like to go that fast before the go-pro. But now that we are in the era of the go-pro, we don't go as fast.
Make America two stroke again

Those big ears, they'll help you fly.
Brian Deegan places 7th. One man becomes GOAT, the other GODFATHER.
It took another 14 championships to become the Goat. What does it take to become a Godfather in your mind, a punk racer who won one 125 regional SX race, (and ghosted his bike over the finish line, like as moron), who has not shot heroin? That "Godfather" would probably be in jail with out MX. If you were to describe a hero for your kids to look up to, which would your really choose?
EarthSurferUSA Bitter and chatty are never a good combination.
And ignorance isn’t bliss.
Oh back when I enjoyed going to supercross, I can't stand supercross now.
This sport helped greatly form my life. I even port small 2-stroke engines for a living today because of this sport, and I can't stand SX either, and MX is not far behind. The problem is, the FIM runs our racing today in the USA,, (The AMA is just an arm of the FIM, not independent), and they are responsible for about 70% of the decline of this once great sport. If we want to save the sport from extinction, (as far as a sport we can participate in), we have to Deport the FIM from USA racing.
@@EarthSurferUSA That's awesome it has formed your life for the better, I love racing Grand prix races they just seem to have a more laid back atmosphere. I ride here in Az so it's a mix of motox and desert. Yea I have not paid much attention to the FIM but it seems like someone always has their hand in the cookie jar.
So you just watch the old SX videos then?
Is it me or do the bikes look heavy. Lol
I noticed that too. I think it just faster now and flows better
@@NateDogMXtv The tracks are designed to flow,--so a fat tank 4-stroke does not look so slow. Tracks used to challenge the pros, and upset "flow", and it separated the men from the boys. You guys might as well be racing road racing. The sport of Motocross will be dead within 2 decades. Enjoy what you can. It was an amazing sport, and I enjoyed it almost from the beginning in the USA.
Man just look how gnarly the tracks were back then. The tracks back then really separated the great riders from good riders. The tracks today have become so perfectly designed/groomed that its become much easier for everyone to dial in the track. These tracks were so much more physically demanding on the riders.
You are right. The FIM now dictates how our SX and national tracks are made, and they are made to try to make the racers all the same speed. Today, the 65hp 450's don't even need any corner speed to clear the next straight, and the rhythm sections are specifically designed to keep everybody the same speed as much as possible. It all hurts the talent of the USA racers, which is why we can't win the MXofN anymore,---as the FIM laughs their fat azzes of in their offices. Deport the FIM from USA racing. The FIM, as the socialists they are, do not want to see a individual great racer like RC ever again, and today's tracks are making sure we will not see true greatness again.
Technically you can thank Carmichael for that.
Brutal track, we need to get back to this.
That 2 tiered table top thing on the back was sick.
God damn some of you Americans are so entitled. Just because an American isn't winning mxon doesn't mean there is some worldwide socialist conspiracy against you, maybe americans just aren't any better than anyone else?
