@@straightnobraker4677 that thought crossed my mind too. I was actually surprised when he entered the turn that it was so silent. like...wut? he's braking? when did that happen? 😄 A pro on a 125cc 2-stroke is just a marvelous sound. Always pinned. Always in the meat of the power band. just mocking everyone else who gets on the bike. 🤪
Hey, if the garbage kids listen to today is music,---so is a ripping 2-stroke. In fact, it takes much more talent to play a 2-stroke compared to what is called music today. :)

LOVE THIS! What an awesome era in motocross. The commentary was as good as the riding. Brought me right back. Best thing you’ll see all day. Big thanks to all of you for making this!
AND IT STILL SHOULD BE THIS WAY. CUT OUT CLASSES AND IT'S NOT NEAR AS FUN TO GO WATCH LIVE ANYMORE. NO SMELL LIKE REAL MOTOCROSS BACK IN THE DAY. AND RICKY COULD SEMI UNRETIRE AND STILL SMOKE THE BEST OUT THERE IF HE PUT HIS HEART IN IT. GOAT FOREVER. ANYONE THAT EVER WAS REALY INTO MOTOCROSS AND NEW WHAT THEY TALKING ABOUT KNOWS THIS. HE WAS THE BEST IN HIS LAST AMATUER YEARS. THAN RVERBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD WHO WERE PROS ALREADY. 1ST YEAR AS PRO UNTIL HIS LAST NEVER LOST AN OUTDOOR TITLE. WAKE UP PP PEOPLE CAUSE HEIRLINGS AINT SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO CARMICHAEL. I SAID IT CAUSE I NO, NO NO NO.WHO THE BEST OF ALL TIME IS
All is right in the world here. Am I the only one that is blown away by how fast he looked still? Man, talk about a nostalgia trip. I was 7 years old when I got into racing and this basically transported me back to that time. I'd like to hear what RC himself thought about doing this? Now we just need to figure out a way to get Stewart to dust off the Chevy Trucks 125 in his studio and make a part 2
Dam straight, I couldn't help but thinking that James needs/has to...............MUST! For the love of GOD..............do something similar!!! Actually I just dusted off my 04' also and so this vid is very specially motivating.............I made a vid of my rig as I was getting it ready just the other day and I ride on the morrow! Haven't ridden it in a year.
This is the kind of content we want to see! "We" being the generation that experienced two strokes be replaced by 4-strokes. OUTSTANDING work on this video. Great video quality which does the details of the bike, helmet and gear justice. The sound of the two stroke engine in-sync with the video is best. No music to interrupt the sound of the bike - yay! ... So what will Mitch hire Ricky for? Haha
Ricky was an absolute monster on a 125. I got to watch him live at Buds Creek in '97 and obviously watched him dominate until he retired. So glad he's still around and involved heavily in the sport that he re-invented. GOAT!
He rides that so perfectly. Shifting is on point. You see most of today's 4-stroke guys get on a smoker and really not keep it in the meat like Ricky does. Perfection right here:-)
This was so well put together…….thank you guys ! The GOAT and his GOATIES, Mitch, Bones and the PC Crew. All legends……… I’m so glad I got to witness RC rise from mini to master….
What Bones said was probably true too, Mitch would re hire and they’d probably win a championship again, almost a thought in RCs mind, almost, it would be even sicker than Dungeys return to see the GOAT come back and school the young guns, I bet the crowds would triple as well if he rode that bike, the world and internet would go mental….
Mitch has his problems talking with people too. I tried to help him, but that is why he is out of stock with 2-stroke pipes. He treated a good friend of mine who could have made them for him with his state of the art shop, like he was not worth talking to. He can stay out of stock as long as he wants if he does not know how to talk with people.
Wow great job guys! I saw Ricky many times at Washougal on the 125! I built a 94 KX125 Splitfire replica. Should have never sold it. I can't believe how fast RC still is!
When they drove up, Glen Helen bowed it's head & dropped to a knee. These men are legends in this sport. I'm honored to know all three of them. If you are young, or not, and unfamiliar with their achievements and contributions to Motocross, Supercross, and Off-Road Racing, I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that in their absence the bike you ride/race off-road today would be very different.
Not really an RC fan but he is truly the GOAT of motocross. In Supercross, I'm still going with Jeremy. Overall though, Carmichael is the best ever. No questions about it.
I think the GOAT debate may never be settled between Ricky and Stefan. I can also throw a spanner here... Jeffrey should be in that discussion as well.
@@juanpablohinestrosa7929 Hmmm---I don't think so. RC retired with over a 83% win average in 10.5 seasons as a pro. Two of the big bike series, he won all 24 motos, and missed a 3rd perfect season by one moto. RC had a different motivation that he rest of us, and I figured it out in an interview (Whiskey throttle show), when he said, "I was terrified to lose, scared to death. I know no sport psychologist would say that is a good thing, but that is the way I was.". He was scared to lose, like we were sacred to crash on a big triple we have never cleared yet. What kind of environment would there have to be in grade school to make RC terrified to lose? He as a short, fat, red headed ginger kid,--and they all got bullied. He got bullied in school until he started winning amateur championships, and the bullying stopped. School bullying motivated RC to be the GOAT of MX. Isn't that ironic? Should we tell the teacher about it? :)
I love this. Brought me back to the old days. Really made me feel everything from watching RC back in the day to feeling what I felt when I raced back then too. Thanks!
Watching RC get back on a KX 125 after all the years gone by brought a smile to my face. He really is The GOAT, and obviously, still fast as hell!!! He still looks like he'd hand out ass whuppins to today's riders. I never imagined when the '97 season started that that short, pudgy kid would go on to dominate like he did. He's the best
RC is also heavily involved in the development and more particularly testing of the new incoming Triumph MX machines so he had to lay off the beer & Burger King….
He clearly still has it. I vividly remember one of his first SX’s with Mitch. He was whipping that bike SO hard that drain plug was clearly visible for quite a way up in the stands at Pontiac. This video was a real pleasure. I get the feeling it was pretty special for Mitch and RC as well👍
I was a kid when I saw RC and Stewart on kawasaky and I had a lot of magazine clippings in my notebooks at school! Now i am a grown man with family and a father and seeing the GOAT on a kx 125 again makes me feel the sweetness and nostalgic of that good old days when me and my friends dream'd about having our firts bikes! cheers to that 🍻
Next level that was 24 years ago. Of course it could be tuned better. It runs great, but everything can be improved. "I don't think it can be tuned better" was always said before the next bike that was tuned better. :)
I remember getting on track with RC at Dade City in the late 80’s for a practice session, after watching him ride I knew immediately that MX was going to be a hobby for me! 😂
Thank u Monster, Dirt Shark, Pro Circuit, Fox, Kawi, Mitch, Bones and RC. That took me back to high school. It may not be the fastest, but that one-two-five sounds oooh sooo good.
He's absolutely one with the machine....he was flat out, not a hiccup....amazing - and thank you to the film crew for capturing all of that perfectly. Wow - way to go.
Ricky Carmichael is an amazing guy. Not only is he the GOAT as a racer, but since retiring he’s effectively leveraged his knowledge, skills and abilities to his advantage (and ultimately ours) as an expert commentator, consultant and ambassador. I really like it when he’s the commentator for races being aired on TV. He has the best insights about what’s going on on the track, technology, etc. His involvement in Triumph’s development of off-road motorcycles bodes well for Triumph’s success. Count me in as one of Ricky’s fans.
@motoing32 No one will be able to get James on a bike again, he's back around the sport but he's done with riding... it's a shame cause with his name and someone like 'DirtShark' filming and doing the edits, he could make a career just off having fun on a bike and doing 1 or 2 freeride videos in the hills each year.
please put together a nostalgic race between the top guys from the 90s and early 2000s, on some 125s or 250s. most can probably still shred and I'd pay per view the shit out of that
So awesome to see RC pinning it! It was absolutely astounding to see him push it like a beast back when he was the dominating pro champ. I was happy when I saw videos of him looking a little chubby and enjoying life after he "retired". Least he deserves if you ask me... Even happier to seem him now having lost the fat and still keeping it absolutely pinned. Legend!!
I got goosebumps right now when I looked to my left and seen this exact same bike leaned against the tree in my yard at our trailer! So proud of what it stands for, most fun bike I've ever ridden!
watching him ride is a thing of beauty- I was a migrate fan and had a hard time accepting Ricky- but on sheer will alone he is the GOAT. blessed to have lived through his entire career and the stuff with Stewart was the best motocross will ever be!
i had the 99 kx 125 with the 99 splitfire graphics, gold talon hubs and black excel rims with the thor gear and white tech 8's. This sound track just takes me right back to my teens. dam i wish i still had that bike. RC is the goat.
I grinned the entire time watching this. Took me right back to watching ESPN SpeedWorld as a kid. The gear, the graphics, this era will never be topped.
I remember like it was yesterday watching Jeremy McGrath dominating & all of the sudden you see this young cat Ricky Carmichael tearing it up in the 125s. Greatest era of racing hands down! 🤟💨🔥
Anyone else ever noticed that a 2stroke coming at you sounds like it's fixing to fall apart. But the exhaust note after it gets by you gives you goose bumps. Always been a 2stroke person.
Best video I’ve seen in a long long time. I was smiling the entire time, thinking back to childhood when I was watching that split fire 125 smoke the field
I love this video! I don't care what anyone says, the '90s had some of the sickest team graphics & gear. This bike looked amazing & sounded incredible! One of my all time favorite team bikes was team Honda in '95-'96. McGrath always looked tge best IMO. I also loved the the PJ1 Yamaha team graphics in mid '90s. The all black & yellow looked sick.
God damn this dated me right quick. Worked with Mitch, Bones, Jim Perry ETC back in the late 90's for close to 8 years at PC. Moved on to other projects. Haven't seen those guys since......Crazy how time flies.

No flat spots no blubbering. Never seen a 125 go up Mt. St. Helen so quick. Mitch is an artist.
Dude. Honestly Ive never seen anyone go down it that quick though. Im on the brakes from the top. He was PINNED 😎
@@straightnobraker4677 that thought crossed my mind too. I was actually surprised when he entered the turn that it was so silent. like...wut? he's braking? when did that happen? 😄 A pro on a 125cc 2-stroke is just a marvelous sound. Always pinned. Always in the meat of the power band. just mocking everyone else who gets on the bike. 🤪
For real, my bike was a mess out there
Thank You so much for not putting music over that wonderful exhaust note! Awesome to see that RC still Rips!
We don't need music in dirt bike videos, perioud..
I think there was some 'relaxing' outgoing tune playing,
but we all come to see and hear the bikes.
Hey, if the garbage kids listen to today is music,---so is a ripping 2-stroke.
In fact, it takes much more talent to play a 2-stroke compared to what is called music today. :)
3 things we miss the most…
1. Ricky racing
2. The sound of a 2 stroke
3. Ricky racing

Man that gave me chills. Seein rc on a 125 absolutely screaming that thing. Brought back memories. 🙌🏻
You could tell RC was wringing all the horsepower out of that 125 he could.
It sounds a lot faster than it is.

How can you not love 2 strokes!
Oh Boy, that is definitely my top MX VIDEO of THE YEAR! 😍 Thanks to all who was involved in that! Kudos from germany! 🙂
this was absolutely incredible. hopefully this was just the teaser to a full length
Must rewind and a watch over and over, like going back to the glory days of real racing.
Blast from the past! The man can still rip! 🤙🏻
1:27 I love that “I’m not wearing this” “Fox is paying, I’m staying” only RC can talk to Mitch Payton like that & still get a job offer afterwards. 😂

the relationship between ricky and mitch is a special one, obviously. you can see the old tension between them when talking about his old carburetor
this video made me realize that I have such a rare machine in my garage... never selling my '04! thanks guys, amazing video
That down hill on the gas into the left hander was insane.
my favorite part
@@cjsmreks I hate that hill. especially when it gets gnarly braking bumps. Makes me feel like I shouldn't be riding, everytime.
@@stickythrottle5259 😀😀
It's a 125.. you have to stay pinned like a chainsaw or it doesn't move.. nothing special
I could do that. And crash. And probably die. Cool RC wring out that smoker.
Man I never thought I’d see a video of rc on a kx125 again. So badass!
Wow great job guys! I saw Ricky many times at Washougal on the 125! I built a 94 KX125 Splitfire replica. Should have never sold it. I can't believe how fast RC still is!

I'm pretty sure that when high level activitys athletes retire they gain weight due to reduced intense workouts. Nice comeback Ricky.
My girlfriend walked in on me watching this and made fun of the fact that my arms are covered in goosebumps.
Then she doesn’t understand the greatness of it

That's why I have 4 2 smokers right there.
The amount of nostalgia in this video is unreal
Tears in my eyes. Thank you so much to the ones involved.
Ricky is the goat, no doubt. He kept that 125 in the powerband every second without any problem. Amazing rider.

God damn this dated me right quick. Worked with Mitch, Bones, Jim Perry ETC back in the late 90's for close to 8 years at PC. Moved on to other projects. Haven't seen those guys since......Crazy how time flies.
Sounds so great especially compared to the 4 stokes which just sound like giant fart machines. Nice to see the GOAT reminisce.
Lovely music! I love the spot where he completely clears the top of the hill; great riding.. awesome noise
Best dirt shark yet
How awesome of Mitch to put together for RC and sure brings back fond memories no doubt! If could only smell the race gas!
What a legend!!!
This is a proper moto video, no bullshit music, just the sweet sound of a 125
