Lots of moments in practice and qualifying as well. Tons of racing moments, RV had an awesome career. Still watching now is just as exciting💯 thanks again Wd840
dude no one hit the outside like RV man. Tomac does it sometimes but RV rode the whole track like that basically all the time lol. my goat as well man.
RV and RD are the last greats, the last monsters of dirt bike who closed the golden era. The greatest era in SX/MX that started in the 90s with the King, was brought on a higher level by the GOAT, CR and JS and so ended with RV and RD.
Totally agree , with RV and RD retiring the last great riders from the USA ended … those were riders who could show up at every track en win .. time the USA won the MXON .. it’s a matter of time , so many riders in USA with lots of talent … there will be next great riders in future without a doubt ..
Actually it started in the late 70s and lasted till the RC retired!!! The old SX tracks were the shit in them days not like the ones today!!! And i think they need to go to 125,250 and 450 classes, and have both SX AND MX points combined for the championship!!! Plus add a women's class!!!
Completely disagree. How in the world did the "golden age" end at the end of Dungeys career that was like 2 years ago lol. And Tomac has more wins then RV how you gonna say they are the "last greats" of an era? Tomac and Dungey basically the same fkin era lol.
@@zumptt How many Sx titles has Tomac ? How many MXON has Tomac won ? How many SX titles have RV and Dungey ? How many MXON did RV and Dungey win with USA ? Tomac has a lot of wins , RV and Dungey did a lot better in a shorter career ..Tomac might be best from USA at moment , but RV and RD were better .. titles show
In greatness,..2nd to only Ricky Carmichael. Ryan Villopoto, much like Carmichael, was super talented but also was a complete animal with the inner drive to win that was greater than other riders. So when you are better than everyone on talent and also have a determination and driven will to win that is next-level,..You get Carmichael and Villopoto.
I've been watching since back in the Rick Johnson days all the way up to current and RV was the best ever imo. Dude was incredible. Great job putting this together too!
You done a great job of putting that together. When he wheel standed into other rider and they blewed on track and when the other riders shake his hand after a great moto. Such a dedicated rider, where they got there energy is beyond me, must be the dirt, adrenalin, and monster drinks
Thanks for this, Gracias por este video, es un gran gusto volver a ver la secuencia de los triunfos del que para mi es uno de los mas grandes corredores en la historia, aun soy su fan, no ha existido todavía otro corredor que me emocione como cuando el estaba en escena, gracias Ryan Villopoto por tu magnifica carrera, desde el primer dia en que mire su actitud y su pasion, no perdi de vista su recorrido, eres el mejor,
@@mattseaton3521 I'm glad your honest about it but can I suggest you go back and watch Tomac at any Southwick round... MXGP at Glen Helen 2016 and who could ever forget Hangtown 2015.
@@thumpernats obviously you can find a handful of standout performances from almost any top level rider, and Tomac is clearly a world class talent, but you’re putting him in the same category here with all timers that have proven, career-long pedigree. Sometimes he’s the fastest guy on track, other times he’s way off (and often). That’s not really a trait those other names ever had.
I've often wondered what would have happened if he had switched teams and lit a new fire under his ass. How much more could he have won? He had one of the most dominant riding styles I've ever witnessed. With renewed motivation, he could have easily become the 1st 5 time in a row SX champion. Oh well, he is still one of the best to ever have done it.

I think Ryan villopoto is one of the most underrated supercross racers Ricky Carmichael gets way too much credit for what he did Ryan and the shorter amount of time showed a lot more talent probably only person in supercross history better of course would be the greatest of all time Showtime Jeremy McGrath
I'll agree villo dosent get enuf credit, but what u said about Ricky is nuts, u must not be aware of his stats, accomplishments and decades dominance, nobody has ever even been close to Ricky as the GOAT. Most wins, most championships, perfect season, lapped the entire field and on and on. Do your homework then revisit your statment. I bet you are pretty young to think that
Mine was getting to see RV win his last supercross 450 championship at metlife stadium the last year he was racing in 2014 the 1st year they had supercross at metlife and Bogle won the 250 east that year good times noone will ever win 450 supercross titles back back again in the 450 the era is gone
It's so crazy because everyone always says or thinks that certain amateurs will be supercross or motocross champions and it's not true look at Mike Alessi he won everything RV @ RD lost as in 2nd and 3rd place in am now as pros they both have titles and Alessi has none we will never see anything like this again lucky I got to see RV his last year racing supercross at metlife supercross 2014 is last year it was so surreal
RV was part of the corporate generation. Look at the generation before Villo they were loose and free-spirited. You don't see block passes anymore. No offense but in 2006 the comp was weak. I liked Erin Bates. I loved that Monster Million race and I bet Feld thought that there was no way anyone was taking the prize. Whoops thought wrong. Ryan just added to his many Millions. Dungey was good but RV was #great. Where Dungey played it safe RV was off the chain god he was amazing. Great video.
Supercross racing is the best sport and one of the biggest reasons only sport I watch anymore they don't kneel for the national anthem and they definitely love their country wave the flag happy to represent the greatest country in the world you can take your football baseball basketball basketball stick it where the sun don't shine while you're in it might as well stick NASCAR in the same boat leave just ruin the sport hope super cross and all the riders stay true to the roots and keep being proud of their country
What’s your favorite RV moment?
My favorite RV moment is, at this moment in his successful life, he looks happy and at peace.
When he beat Dungey at steel city 2011, passed him coming out of the last corner on the last lap moto1.
2014 Seattle supercross. I was there.
Lots of moments in practice and qualifying as well. Tons of racing moments, RV had an awesome career. Still watching now is just as exciting💯 thanks again Wd840
In gleen helen 2006 125 class
My favorite rider of all time. Had 3 titles ripped away by injuries but never lost when he finished a full season. My goat 💚🖤

Love RVs riding style, always looked so good on the bike.
winning the mxon with both ryans will always be a highlight for me in history

Much appreciated, more to come!
Greatest rider of all time no debates

Definitely an all timer. In my opinion hes close to Ricky as goat status, with Eli and Dung close behind RV!!
My God, he was just a monster. I love his riding style. My personal GOAT...

250 villopoto was a different animal
One of the four super heavy hitters, Carmicheal, Stewart, Tomac.... Villopoto! best style ever!
Not sure I’d put Tomac in there tbh

i think you need to freshen up on your stats 👍👍
you must've not watched Sir Ricky Carmichael ...
RC gets to much credit? Thats where I stopped reading that BS! RC is the🐐for a reason

Those Ryan's are built deferent
“I guarantee you he’s swearing like George Bush at a UN convention with a live mic right now” 😂
My high lite was when he came to Canada in 2005 and didn’t win the 250 class at Calgary the track in the middle of a city
Actually I think he won
The good days

Prime Villopoto vs Prime Carmichael. Who wins?
They might tie in points at the end of the season lol.
@@wd840mxhighlights Yea, man, it would have been so epic. They're the two best to ever do it imo.

Is it me or did Stewart have a massive drop off after he left Kawasaki
WHERE'S VILLOPOTO?! WHERE'S VILLOPOTO?!!!
Pulp mx he was on there 2 days ago
here a hot take as someone who saw villopoto and rc ride villopoto is a better rider
No question
They never raced in RC prime or against each other. Dumb comment
@@Turbulence-y7z whatever but rv was way better than rc in most ways when it came to riding
Villopoto was way better and faster.
🤦♂️ forget it, y’all know what I’m getting at.
Alessi riding that ktm fucked him early in his career he might have won if was on a diffrent bike
Great champion !!!
wish dungey stayed on suzuki he was faster, less consistent though

Who put this together ahhh not great work ... worst moment was the stall first race in euro.. best was 2011 supercross title after 2010 st loiue
Hmmm… the guy who suddenly retires from super cross at 26… to avoid getting tested for steroids?
Lol
Terrible editing!
Do it yourself then
Expose the truth and take everything from him
