The numbers certainly mean something, and I emphasize that because in the end, RC had tallied 150 career AMA SX/MX wins and 15 titles (5 SX, 10 MX); Stewart had 98 wins (50 SX, 48 MX) and 3 titles. The truth is that the score is 150-98 -- with RC leading the way. Jeremy McGrath did the same thing when Ricky Carmichael rose to challenge him in 2001. Davey Coombs said it best that McGrath wanted everyone to remember the score (as of Jan. 2001) was 72-2. In the end, McGrath's still the KING with 72 wins and 7 titles while RC went on to 48 wins and 5 titles.

@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames At the end of the day bro it’s an opinion you’re entitled to have your opinion and I’m entitled to have mines but everybody knows that my favorite to racers of all time will always be james and Ricky Carmichael and they’re both goats to me
Pastrana is more famous than all of them and has more technical ability than stewart or carmichael,pastrana is the goat of freestyle and won supercross titles, can stewart or carmichael say the same thing
Travis Pastrana may be a legend in Freestyle MX, but in terms of being famous, I think Travis' notoriety is about the same as Stewart, Carmichael, and Reed combined. You may be right in that fact that Travis won numerous FMX gold medals, and a 125cc East Supercross and 125cc Motocross title in racing, but I do not think Travis' racing career was really fruitful. If at all, Travis only gave a personality you can't beat in the sport of Motocross racing. So, to say that Travis Pastrana's more famous than all of them is not a very valid argument.
Pastrana isn't a 1 trick pony like the rest, but excels at everything he does, and is a innovator in action sports too, stewart was made to look like a pussy when pastrana challenged him to do a backflip and stewart chickened out because mommy and daddy said not to do it but Chad Reed did it and rode away from the flip,it was a flip to a fully soft landing and stewart the pussy shit his pants so much for being a champion as I would do it myself and I don't have a full factory team backing me up, pastrana did the double flip, won nascar and rally, won the mx des nations, so many x games medals, and a host of other achievements that Reed, carmichael and Stewart have not even come close too, them 3 can only ride a dirt bike and are not as multi talented as pastrana
I'll say. I liked RJ calling races, and Emig knew a lot from a psychological standpoint. Carmichael talks like he's an avid fan, but he's improved little by little.
Gotta love it James and RC hugging it out after the race. Florida Boy's the two goat's.

@@pyroaddictspyroaddicts6757 I kinda didn't really doubt that you liked RC. In all honesty, I highly disagree that James should be called the GOAT when you look at his entire career. He killed his career numerous times, and was no match for the Ryans after 2010, and the San Manuel debacle sure brought out his true colors.
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames Let’s be honest bro do you know how many crashes this man has had his entire career he’s been racing all his life he’s been winning since he’s been a baby pretty much you have to understand there’s a reason why he will always be the fastest man on a dirtbike he was so fast that he was to fast for the track
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames At the end of the day bro it’s an opinion you’re entitled to have your opinion and I’m entitled to have mines but everybody knows that my favorite to racers of all time will always be james and Ricky Carmichael and they’re both goats to me
And wins with no front brake!!
Yes indeed. I didn't even know that until James said so in his winner interview.
Pastrana is more famous than all of them and has more technical ability than stewart or carmichael,pastrana is the goat of freestyle and won supercross titles, can stewart or carmichael say the same thing
Travis Pastrana may be a legend in Freestyle MX, but in terms of being famous, I think Travis' notoriety is about the same as Stewart, Carmichael, and Reed combined.
You may be right in that fact that Travis won numerous FMX gold medals, and a 125cc East Supercross and 125cc Motocross title in racing, but I do not think Travis' racing career was really fruitful. If at all, Travis only gave a personality you can't beat in the sport of Motocross racing.
So, to say that Travis Pastrana's more famous than all of them is not a very valid argument.
lol
Pastrana isn't a 1 trick pony like the rest, but excels at everything he does, and is a innovator in action sports too, stewart was made to look like a pussy when pastrana challenged him to do a backflip and stewart chickened out because mommy and daddy said not to do it but Chad Reed did it and rode away from the flip,it was a flip to a fully soft landing and stewart the pussy shit his pants so much for being a champion as I would do it myself and I don't have a full factory team backing me up, pastrana did the double flip, won nascar and rally, won the mx des nations, so many x games medals, and a host of other achievements that Reed, carmichael and Stewart have not even come close too, them 3 can only ride a dirt bike and are not as multi talented as pastrana
I forgot how great Denney Stephenson was on color commentary, Ricky Carmichael does it now and he is awful.
I admit, Ricky has gotten better, but you can't beat David Bailey for sure. Denny Stephenson was good, too despite speaking so fast.
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames I miss Bailey too, hell Emig was better than Ricky, Rick Johnson was ok too.
I'll say. I liked RJ calling races, and Emig knew a lot from a psychological standpoint. Carmichael talks like he's an avid fan, but he's improved little by little.
how can the quality be so bad i see old videos from 1940 better quality
Blank DVDs were in their infancy, pal.
Lol Reed lol hahaha
Pfft -- as if...
Stewart is God Reed is a Jew
As usual, I am the opposite. Reed still won this war in my book on longeivity alone.
Reed is a disciple nothing more lol
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames people who are 3rd best always have longevity lol
@@johnnybgood774 Reed's still the GOAT overall because he wasn't as reckless as Stew was later in '05.
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames he is the goat of 3rd best lmao
