  • This is a Motocross highlights video of Ryan Villopoto's Year Of Domination.

The year before in 2012 Ryan would win the Supercross championship early just before he blew out his knee ending his year. Coming into 2013 know one knew how Villo would do coming back from a big injury, especially in Pro Motocross which he hasn't raced in 2 years. Ryan would have the best year of his professional career both Supercross and Pro Motocross Championships, winning 18 races, Including 18 out 0f 24 motos in the Pro Motocross Championship. There were some epic battles throughout the year with Ryan Dungey, Justin Barcia, James Stewart, Davi Millsaps, and many more. Enjoy! #ryanvillopoto #supercross #motocross

    Anyone who says RV isn’t 2nd to RC, must not have watched the dominant decade of Villo on a 250 and 450. Had such a sick style on the bike. My favorite rider by far

RV came in and dominated, went overseas and retired early. Dungey became the champ again after RV's retirement and was still waxing Tomac as an older rider. No way Tomac would beat prime RV.

    he dominated so many other riders, and not just any riders, THE BEST of those eras, reed, stewart, barcia, roczen, milsaps, canard, dungey etc. Cross multiple generations. He didnt just win with speed he won with heart and race craft AND speed. My favourite aspect of his riding is the way he would stand a bike up on the exit of corners and just get full gas and full weight over the rear wheel and just launch out of turns.

  • @boogiewoogit5597
    @boogiewoogit5597 Год назад

    Been watching SX, MX since Jeff Ward and Mark Barnett, Villopoto is my favorite rider, bar none. People talk about his brass balls fearlessness and style, and that’s totally legit. But, he was one of the most cerebral riders ever, his throttle hand based on conditions and situation.
    He could be all torque-face whiskey throttle, steering w the rear wheel or total finesse and control. He outsmarted dudes most the time and was master of the psychological warfare game. Making the other guy believe he doesn’t have a chance, it’s all over but the champagne spray. Cham-PAGG-NEE where I’m from. Church isn’t over until all the rattlesnakes are back in their boxes. Thank You RV2, you were a joy to watch. And yes, he would’ve been the GOAT had he kept going. Question, if McGrath has all the titles why is Ricky called GOAT? Helluva rider for sure, a soul and spirit that cannot be taught. Yeah, he prolly is the GOAT, Nevermind, I’m talkin out my tailpipe. Health and happiness to all, and stay frosty and aerodynamic af. Hold on, SWAT is rappelling down the side of my house, brb

    RV had the speed to keep Stewart honest. He has the consistency to beat Dungey in supercross. He won all those titles with studs, Bubba, Dungey, KRock, Tomac, Canard, Baggett, Davi, Reed. But his true Goatness for me was the outside rail speed during nationals. He retired early but in my heart I know this guy is the Goat.

    Definitely dominant. The only thing different from current generation to any other generation, there is like 5-10 guys that can win on any given day so it's a lot harder to come by with a win or championship these days, back then there was maybe 3 but some generations it was only 1 guy. So this year by tomac was very impressive. Don't get me wrong, rv, rc, mc, and Stewart, Stanton, and some of those older guys are definitely amongst the elite

    • @boogiewoogit5597
      @boogiewoogit5597 Год назад

      Yep, that’s true. Undoubtedly. I think SX more boring than ever, but overall depth is top notch. When I show OG races to youngbloods they are blown away, much more risk/reward, corporate risk management style now. Inevitable outcome of $$$$. Look at how boring F1 and MotoGP has become. Big $ sucks the soul outta everything it infiltrates.

    RV doesn’t get enough respect. if he’s not the goat he’s a close second. He was the most dominant ever and it was against a stacked group of riders! If he didn’t crash in 2010 he would be 5x champ in a row! He retired in his prime too, he definitely would’ve passed Ricky and came close to McGrath. Dungey couldn’t hold RV’s jockstrap and he’s the rider who won after rv retired

      He didn't want to race at all, so he went to Europe and in his words "treated it like vacation". He wasn't really training, there was a language barrier and they gave him euro specs which he hated, he wanted the bike stiffer and chassis more rigid like in the US. Kawasaki there didn't give him what he was requesting prior to leaving for Europe, nor could he communicate with his mechanic.. So big changes during the week was extremely difficult and limited, but changes in between practice and motos were near impossible.
      He just wasn't as fit, hated the bike, wasn't riding during the week the way he was accustomed, language barrier, food problems in another country, and the GP style with how the tracks break down are a lot different, plus frim Saturdays qualifying moto to sundays motos, they dont touch the track so theyre extremely rough. The race he won was more of an American style track and hard pact, so while being dry and slick, it wasnt nearly as rough and it broke down similar to AMA track... a lot more tight inside lines and chop, compared to railing around the outsides that GP's are known for.. and arguably the biggest thing, he was burned out and done but coulsnt get out of his contract.. So it was either a full year in the AMA series, or GP (idk how he convinced Kawi into that) and travel the world and treat it like a vacation. His goal wasn't a world title, I think if we got a prime Villo that wanted to win GP's and had the mindset that took him to 4 straight supercross titles, we would of seen a different outcome. But yeah, I think it was just a perfect storm of issues that made his time in the GP's what it was...that back injury was no joke either, it messed him up for a long time afterwards.
