I had no idea he’d gone into charity work and nearly died of Malaria contracted in the DRC. He lost 8 of 10 toes from the resultant induced coma and surgeries and still managed to walk again. Legendary stuff.
Almost always standing, smooth as silk. 10 times world champion, 101 Grand Prix wins, first to win 3 different GP’s in one day. Is also a “Mr 875” having been world champion in 125, 250 and 500 cc classes. He is also the only pilot who became world champion on all of the “Japans’ big four” (Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda en Yamaha). For sure he’s the GOAT!
Southwick is brutal, had a local pro make the national field and broke his wrist, without even crashing. Lommel, Valkenswaard and certain Dutch tracks, the sand is 3-4 feet deep in places, I mean hitting 60mph jumps with 14 deep ruts across the face of the jumps, those tracks are nuts!!! If you fell no one could see you down the track, you'd disappear.
Everts is a guy that knows how to ride for real ! Not one of these new tossers that think going fast means riding on the rev-limiter and thrashing they're bike for nothing
i love how this guy gets the same speed as the american pros, but is not revving the fuck out of the engine Barcia style, is hardly using energy, and is controlling that 450 to the max. Yet still he is a better rider than the US pros. BIG UP!
@adammotox I dis agree, asa journalist I was at the USGP in Budds Creek where Everts beat all of our best riders, Ryan Hughes needed oxygen as did Everts after the race, they were pushing that hard. And all the guys Everts beat that came to US including Chad Reed, never beat him, last race he beat Stewart str8 up in MXdN.
@JCKustom13 hey thanks man looks like there is still hope lol. i might be racing this weekend. if i dont enter the race im still going to do a good 4-5 hours of practice so we will see how it goes. also it will be my first ride of the season. CANT WAIT!!!!
@squantotheboywonder John Dowd start when he was 21 and he went pro and has a supercross 125 (lites) title and he raced well in the outdoors too which I believe he has a 125 outdoor title. I start when I was 16, McGrath started when he was 16 (though both of us started racing BMX young)
It takes hours/weeks/months/years of proper training, practice, support, and MONEY to ride at a high level. Any top-level rider will tell you the same thing.
hey i was just wondering...i just turned 17 and have been riding for like 4 years. 1-2 on a track. do you think im to old to start competing? as in like do you think i have a chance even though you havent seen me ride, cause all these other people have been riding since they were like 12. all i want to do is race and if that doesnt work im joining the army lol
@adammotox Bro you only see whats going on here in the US. In Europe, especially Belgium, he is a rock star, mobbed for autographs and everything, he is also the highest paid mx rider over there, he's worth millions, he has nothing to prove. He beat Chad Reed, Ryan Hughes, Maqnicq Bervoets a whole host of super fast riders. People say the best riders came to the States, yes, only after Everts whooped up on them.
@squantotheboywonder Just enter it, even though me and McGrath had BMX experience, John Dowd had no racing experience at all, plus you have been riding so you know how to ride. I think you will do fine.
@adammotox haha, you make me laugh have you ever seen a track like lierop, lommel, valkenswaard? well, i have and i have also seen 'the' sand track of theus: southwick in real life, and you cant compare them btw, stefan may not be the fastest, but still the most consistent and smoothest. at least stefan can sit on his bike for more than ten seconds unlike stewart. Riders become faster, faster and faster as years fly by and stefan already quitted 5 years ago.
@adammotox Im with ya on that one, I was rooting for Ryno and Kdub when Everts beat them in moto one, he earned it, they cut him no slack. As a journalist for Cycle News, I ragged on ALL the US riders who DIDNT show up, Ryno, KDub and a few others were heroes to me, they stood up for US honor and glory. and I said so in the article. I bitched at US spectators as well, NASCAR is cool but a GRAND PRIX in your back yard and you dont come out, shame on them.
typical, RC beat him at the nations, so what.... Everts won the nations 5 times, RC only 3 times, so what... There both great riders, just in an other continent. RC won titles, so did Everts... If i could give a list of the 3 best riders of all time, there both in it, but who on 1st? For the american riders out here, look further then the states, there are some pretty good riders in Europe!!
@FiftyCalHeadshot hey bud, didnt know there was a difference in american tracks and tracks over seas... because there isnt! america doesnt have only hard soil weve got it all as do you guys. stefan is slow, good rider and really smooth but still slow. bring him to america he will be nobody.
I had no idea he’d gone into charity work and nearly died of Malaria contracted in the DRC.
He lost 8 of 10 toes from the resultant induced coma and surgeries and still managed to walk again. Legendary stuff.
für mich der beste motocross fahrer aller zeiten
Wow, this is art on wheels! So smooth in every situation! Fantastic!
Никогда не забуду схватки между Микаэлем Пишоном, Андреа Бартоллини и Стефаном Эвертсом. Мировые легенды мотокросса!
u cant not like Stefan Everts hes such a legend.
Le meilleur de tous les temps🇧🇪🧡💛💚💙
his flow is amazing

10x world champion right here...
Simply the best :)
the king of the mx
Dayuuuum he’s soo good he’s going fast as barely giving it any throttle
s72 will always be my number one.
pichon was much better
He was one of the best MX riders in the world. Smooth was obviously good. He beat Bubba head-up in the MXON a few years ago. What does that tell you.
Soooooooo smooth!
Southwick is brutal, had a local pro make the national field and broke his wrist, without even crashing. Lommel, Valkenswaard and certain Dutch tracks, the sand is 3-4 feet deep in places, I mean hitting 60mph jumps with 14 deep ruts across the face of the jumps, those tracks are nuts!!! If you fell no one could see you down the track, you'd disappear.
it looks like a game !! perfect movements
FUCKIN' LEGEND!!!
Everts is a guy that knows how to ride for real !
Not one of these new tossers that think going fast means riding on the rev-limiter and thrashing they're bike for nothing
I could watch this for hours ...
The smooth operator
i love how this guy gets the same speed as the american pros, but is not revving the fuck out of the engine Barcia style, is hardly using energy, and is controlling that 450 to the max. Yet still he is a better rider than the US pros. BIG UP!
remenber that ricky carmicheal destroy everts at the mxon in belgium 2002 with a 250 2stroke vs a 4stroke
but what a spectacular style s72;)
Boss of a rider.. I WANT THAT BIKE!!
That’s my uncle
I love Motocross, a friend of mine just got done with Army Basic Training and he said it was easier than training for Loretta Lynn.
I love mx and fmx ever.
real cool stuff , i love this sport
@adammotox I dis agree, asa journalist I was at the USGP in Budds Creek where Everts beat all of our best riders, Ryan Hughes needed oxygen as did Everts after the race, they were pushing that hard.

I wonder how many times his son (Liam) has watched this video xD
Note to self...Ride a gear taller, dont use the clutch and almost never sit down.
I have the same exact helmet I’m nit sure if it’s his or a remodel but it is also signed by him
@JCKustom13 hey thanks man looks like there is still hope lol. i might be racing this weekend. if i dont enter the race im still going to do a good 4-5 hours of practice so we will see how it goes. also it will be my first ride of the season. CANT WAIT!!!!

Was he on. A steel frame?
where is that?
looking forward to seeing him at farleigh castle on that beast 495 ktm ;)

james stewart is de snelste motorcrosser maar stefan everts is de BESTE omdat hij langer als 10 sec op een motor kan zitten
It tells me that he's a little too smooth ? Hahaha
@JCKustom13 thanks. if i can ill try to get a video on here. feel free to check it out if i do!!
are you a pro m rider?
GOAT
@adammotox Bro you only see whats going on here in the US.

Yes it is a YZ450.
I don't think so David... It was a secret (and still is...), but at least a 480, according to press releases
@squantotheboywonder Just enter it, even though me and McGrath had BMX experience, John Dowd had no racing experience at all, plus you have been riding so you know how to ride. I think you will do fine.
My mx number is 72 :D
defenetly 4 takt
He only sits on his bike when he needs grip for acceleration
He has the same Style Jean Michelle Bayle had, not spectacular but fast.
@stef979 but its the most fun you'll ever have
why is he like a factory rider and hes riding like an 03 yzf450?
nice tags
Just look at how incontrol he is on the bike with a track like that.
@adammotox
haha, you make me laugh
have you ever seen a track like lierop, lommel, valkenswaard? well, i have
and i have also seen 'the' sand track of theus: southwick in real life, and you cant compare them
btw, stefan may not be the fastest, but still the most consistent and smoothest. at least stefan can sit on his bike for more than ten seconds unlike stewart. Riders become faster, faster and faster as years fly by and stefan already quitted 5 years ago.
i love mx! ...and that was shit hot when her wheelies the whoops!
that track looks S.K.E.T.C.H.Y!
dope fuckin track
@vetb882 then wheres his old ass at? why is he not here in the states making bank? hes smooth as hell, ill give him that much.
Everts biggest secret is that he was a better scrubber than Stewart, but he kept it a secret and never used the scrub in any real races
@vetb882 haha ok then. not to cause a fuss, just proud of our american riders.
@adammotox Im with ya on that one, I was rooting for Ryno and Kdub when Everts beat them in moto one, he earned it, they cut him no slack. As a journalist for Cycle News, I ragged on ALL the US riders who DIDNT show up, Ryno, KDub and a few others were heroes to me, they stood up for US honor and glory. and I said so in the article. I bitched at US spectators as well, NASCAR is cool but a GRAND PRIX in your back yard and you dont come out, shame on them.
look at james stewart he was dirt poor but now hes rich as hell
Like a homemade glen helen. Guessing thats a 4 speed.
@squantotheboywonder I will do that man
@adammotox
you underestimate 72 how dare you
the track is also less fast to ride than an american one, less hard pack
He rides a little too smooth.
typical, RC beat him at the nations, so what.... Everts won the nations 5 times, RC only 3 times, so what... There both great riders, just in an other continent. RC won titles, so did Everts... If i could give a list of the 3 best riders of all time, there both in it, but who on 1st? For the american riders out here, look further then the states, there are some pretty good riders in Europe!!
pichon was much better on his 250 2 stroke
That bike sounds really bad (not in a good way)
stefan was better :p
ive seen faster c riders here in the states.... yes motocross first took place over seas in europe but us americans perfected it :)
@FiftyCalHeadshot hey bud, didnt know there was a difference in american tracks and tracks over seas... because there isnt! america doesnt have only hard soil weve got it all as do you guys. stefan is slow, good rider and really smooth but still slow. bring him to america he will be nobody.
