Music was mostly awful, Motocross was great though

Shite,70s 80s were best,90s are for snowflakey gimps.

@@ianmangham4570 80's were lame Grandpa, deal with it...

@@stupaod Do you even have a shinebox BITCH!

Not sure how the entertainment was better. This SX season was pretty damn exciting, but unfortunately cut short.

4StrokeBloke yes sir!

So were the mid 80's into the 90's with Ricky Johnson, David Bailey, Jeff Ward, Bob Hanna, Johnny O'Mara, Magoo Chandler and soon a young bmx rider by the name of Jeremy McGrath.

I think the grass roots early years of any sport are the best years. That is where all the development starts, from riding talent to bike improvements. In the 70's and 80's, the gates gained more and more champions, and every year, the bikes were getting better and better by leaps and bounds. From 75 to 81, the bikes went from 4" of suspension travel, air cooled piston port engines, with drum brakes and 2 shocks on a steel swing arm, ---to 12" of travel, linkage single shock suspension, reed valve intake induction, better pipes and porting for much more power than 74, better frame geometry and water cooling, (disk brakes soon to come). It was just as exciting to see what the manufactures were doing for their next bike, as it was watching the racing. Also, back then, a kid like me, (me included), was able to make $1.00/hr and buy a brand new bike every 2 years, (those days are gone forever), and 3 times more bikes were sold each year back then compared to 1985 and later. The 70's and 80's, like the rest of earlier USA, you had to be involved to appreciate it.

It'll be mid to late 90's for me!

@@jamesrobert7155 Jean Michel Bayle

Facts bro he is the Goat in my eyes

@@johnnybgood774 Agreeeee!!!!

Yupp JS7/259 was the epitome of full send.

Truly, truly iconic moment. Idk if that moment could happen again tbh. A LEGIT passing of the torch moment

How is this 07 Ricky Carmichael retired in 06! I know because I wouldn’t have raced Ryan Dungey in loronger Louisiana. In 07! So awesome that I won within 5 laps. On a KTM 250 SX. 🏁😎

Twisted is talking about video time 1:23:49 for those of you who wanna see an EPIC RACING MOMENT!!!

Yeah, no one has ever ridden a bike setup like Stewart. His front forks are so stiff they barely move. Lol

@Vincent Estep but he can’t never stay up but if he did he would have had 5+ championships

Definitely, but he took himself out and crashed a lot of race’s because his rear suspension was so stiff. I think Stewart would have more wins and possibly more championships had he rode a more consistent setup. But he’s my 2nd favorite rider next to RC. There’s still no SX rider that rides like him with his personality and that creative. Bubba scrub is forever legendary ✊

@@cristionjones5963 who cares you can't win championships going all out you can only be fast

Ricky has got to be the most humble champion ever. The guy is just a class act on and off the track

you must be too young or too forgetful to remember McGrath's interviews. THE BEST !!! RC was a cheater. Like most every rider that ever worked with that douche Alden Baker. Sorry. Nothing against you personally.

@@EricRupe McGrath was awesome...Indoors. Outdoors..not so good. Thats where RC tops him

The announcer said RC was the greatest SuperCross racer of all time. THAT is incorrect. THAT is what I was commenting on. Nobody said anything about outdoor racing. This vid was about SX. :-)

@@EricRupe How exactly was Ricky a cheater?

Fr, fro is the man

Ricky had full control of track design this year. U can see that some of the tracks had the older features. So bad ass!

These guys are on another level

Bar to bar man. They've been doing them since the 90s. You used to have to buy them on VHS cassette.

Supercross 07 true

Begining of his peak? It all went to shit after this season. Riding over your head only gets you so far

Trevor B lmao it all went to shit? Yet he won 2 more championships yea you’re defiantly a Stewart hater you fucking loser

@@trevorb7645 huh? He had a perfect outdoor season and another sx chip after this. Harldy went to shit. Deciding to go sx only after a perfect outdoor season was when it started going downhill.

Red Bull must pay more

Only wore it during the first AMA rounds. Start of year it was Kawasaki Racing Team and once they got to A1, Monster was officially the sponsor and he wore Fox helmets the rest of the season.

It’s not monster kawi yet

@Sam Hill Really!??🤦‍♂️🙄

@Sam Hill i could give af less!i know exactly what you meant by that comment you racist bigot.

What is really bad is, the 2019 races under NBC will probably never make it for the rest of us to watch them. If you did not see the broadcast, you will never see the races under NBC. The races will die in their archives. If you do watch them on NBC, record it.

James would’ve stolen MC’s crown for king of Supercross (and likely Carmichael’s title as the goat) if it weren’t for 1) FIM’s BS suspension 2) Chad Reed cheaply taking him out sooo many times and 3) if Stewart knew how to just occasionally back off of his max speed. And finally 4) Dungey’s career-ending T-bone. It’s unfortunate, the sport did Stewart dirty. He should unquestionably have a way better record than what the stats show. Still, I love JS7. He’s the fastest human to ever ride a dirt bike.

The first thing out of Ralph's mouth is usually wrong, and it hasn't changed.

John Tomasik After all of these years even! Unreal

12:01 Noticed the guy in the middle manually setting off the game. Never noticed that before.

James = Scatter Brain RC = Cheater Reed = Dirty Dick (back then)

@@EricRupe please tell me how Ricky is a cheater???

There were not a ton a reed fans then, he was kind of cocky and rode a little dirty. I'm glad he kept pushing after rocky and bubba left the sport and I actually enjoy seeing him now.

P* fact

+cortney liggins He did, bad luck in rd one! I feel sorry for the guy...

+Sam Smith tell me about it bud!!! Sucks

+cortney liggins Yes, I really hope he does too! Though he will be 31 years old, he should still have the capacity to show flashes of Stewart brilliance on the track. All-time favorite rider! (See above post!)

Stewie is finished. Time to hang it up!

he is still better than half of the field.. why hang up?

Yes sir, you know he clipped Stewart's back wheel before that double on purpose in the first race in Ontario

Tom Boeve did you watch the same clip? Lol the corner before he was all over reedy I don’t think reed did it on purpose looks like they were both racing hard and it looked like Stewart came over a little bit and reed didn’t have time to react

God Bless General Lee I don’t think any of them are dirty, I believe they all were very fast and they were racing hard and crashes and accidents happened

dam straight

God Bless General Lee Stewart was just pure better and faster and they all knew it , Reed just wanted people to think he was the best of course but in reality James and Ricky had him beat

... I agree 100%

You're joking? Stew got suspended in 2015 when he was already a shell of his former self, and when he finally got good comp after 4 retired he got beat constantly. Rv owns James.

@@Murray89 you obviously didn’t read #3, which is a big one “if Stew knew how to occasionally back off his max speed.” I’ll be the first to say JS7 had terrible race craft. He simply relied on riding faster than anyone else in the track. He expected a win every time, which lead to many crashes and injuries. RV on the other hand had pretty stellar race craft -he wasn’t quite on Cooper Webb’s Queen’s Gambit-chess-level race craft (yes, I know, different eras), but he was damn good. Better than James. By the end of 2014 (after James finally got over the wrist injury and was on a decent bike for the time) he showed his speed was back.Then the wind was sucked out of his sails by the FIM in 2015 (they didn’t want him to be a threat against Monster Energy-backed RV) Then in 2016, despite James claiming he felt uncomfortable, his raw speed was still there (almost won A1 until the crash in whoops) then Dungey sealed the deal on his career with the devastating T-bone.

Randall Martin Carmichael is the most decorated combined

rc never the undog lol

No fucking doubt! Biggest crasher ever, ALWAYS on the edge since the lights days.

@@pressrolls JS7 never raced on a "Lites" bike. He went from 125 to 250 two strokes then moved to the 450 4 stroke. Minor detail.

I think what he meant was more like the tracks aren't technical enough for him to push to his riding ability, think like when he was doing that wall jump and no one else would even attempt it. The dude did crash a lot no doubt, but probably has the most skill of any one to date.

@@pressrolls You don't become a world champ by just being a motor mouth on the internet

Hard to say whether the field of talent is really that deep nowadays or if the consistency of the top riders has gone to hell.

@@Zachery2389 you could very well be right about that. It’s really hard to say. But I miss riders that just hang it out and do whatever to get wins. Racers with some grit to them. Tomac had a little of it but I think he’s past his prime now. RyanV#2 had it as well. Everyone is so similar cuz they all came out of the same riding schools and all trained together. It gets stale

@@TheCarelessAquarius couldn't agree more. Here I am still watching these old races rather than rewatch anything from the current series lol. Just doesn't seem to have the same level of excitement as when rc, js, and reedy were battling

Sponsorship.

That would be very nice if they brought it back. Seattle is only 2 hours away, so it’s not a big deal.
