Best rider in the world. Was, is, will forever be.

He's so positive about EVERYTHING.... listen to what he says....that HAS to be a percentage of his success.

Man i wish i could spend a day with RC so he could teach me his awesomeness riding skills

I was there at lorettas that week watching my little cousin race, and to be able to see RC race again was awesome...what a great and humble guy. a few years before got to chat with him and he let the kids get pictures and autographs while we were there.

Ricky is what being an American is all about.Love, courage, family, dedication, but most of all hes kind to everyone. We could all learn from him how to be genuine.AMDG

GREAT to see ya back on the bike Ricky just great ! still the fastest and smartest rider on the planet still the man awesome

this was so cool to watch..ricky is a very cool dude for sure to do this

5:35 ''Actually, just wanted to race with somebody for a little bit..'' Hahaha you gotta love ricky! (:

The older rockers never die.Ricky Carmichael simply the best.The G.O.A.T.

RC is still killin it!! Love seeing that guy ride!!

I have really enjoed watching this series. Thank you for poisting this. :) Ricky really is the goat. Met him twice myself at different bike shops and hes a real guy.

Lorettas is the funniest place to race period!,Some of my best childhood memories were made there

I've never been a huge RC fan, but I found this video quite enjoyable and made me respect him even more. Sounds like a guy worth going for a coolie with, as long as he brings his dad!

both the carmichael's are just legends

That is SO NEAT. I cant stand it when guys who could do what we only dreamed of doing say they did it then and it means nothing to them anymore. i LOVE THIS guy cos it still means something. Another I interviewed was Georges Jobe, 5 x World MX champion. He got offended when I asked if he still rides, I dig that. :-D

100% Respect for RC4 ..👍

I want to drink coolies with Big Rick, RC's dad is a legend!!!!

RC4 is so freaking awesome!

I would be mad to make it to Lorettas, and see I have to race rc on a factory backed bike.

To do the thing you love with the family into it...amazing man. Youre blessed RC. Carmichael senior is the coolest. Love him. :) thumbs up!

Can you even imagine what would go through your mind if you saw a number 4 saying 'Carmichael' roll past you in practice?

Hey Big RC don’t be mad at the camera man, he's just trying to get a good shot of the man behind the GOAT. You’re the reason he’s the GOAT and the real star in my eyes. Its fathers like you that make this sport what it is. Thank you to all you Dads out there and let’s keep this sport going strong!!

It is great to see Ricky enjoying life, I bet he is a great dad.

I could watch RC's helmet cam all day

RC is likely to stay in the top 10 riders of all time. In shape or in retirement relaxing with his family he would still kick the ass of 99.9% of riders that ride off road motorcycles. RC is one of a kind. RC, You have no more to prove, time to enjoy time with your family. Loved watching you over the years. Good luck man. Rob from Australia

It's time to enjoy life, you deserved it RC...

my favorite part Old Rick at the end says its over now ready go drink a few coozies!! lol. nothing better then a beer after a podium or win raceig motocross!!

Well done RC!

watching ricky come back for a race and just kill everybody just proves what kind of a rider he is. he is the best and always will be the best

That was SO awesome! Nobody beats the GOAT!! Too bad he didn't get his holeshot, though. Bike was set up a bit too powerful..

RC is a class act.

I love it how some kids or people sit here and think that motorcross is "easy". Motorcross is more difficult then you think and untill you try it you will never know how hard it is. You guys can make fun of my for racing ATV motorcross not bikes but It doesnt matter what you race. As long as you get out there and have a gooodtime and try your best thats all that counts. Great video!

Scott Zont!!! 923 good to see ya out there man! TZR is the shit!

G.O.A.T!

G.O.A.T

Now I see where Ricky gets his cool from.... His dad is the man!

Gotta love rc

Ricky shouldn't have retired, he easily could have gotten two more championships when james was hurt and even when he wasn't. It's amazing that five years later when he hasn't been riding he can still win another national championship, true GOAT

It was at that moment Ricky's daughter realized she was standing on the podium with none other then the Goat himself..her daddy, Ricky Carmichael

The G.O.A.T. can do whatever he wants and still ride a dirtbike like nobodies business.

RICKY GET YOUR SON ON A BIKE!

its good RC is an honest man ya here hes not gunna lie

i know right it might not look like he can go fast but he can he's still got it !

if the greatest rider of all time says his bike is to fast, then you know that shit flys lol sweet video one of my favorite riders

Could you imagine if Dungey entered also? You enter the am and on your left is Carmichael and the right is Dungey! I would be like WTF.... at least I get to say I got roosted by them lol!

RC > RV !

Good to see the legend using Contour not the juice box!!!

RC's Dad... He's awesome

you.are.awesome.

Contour helmet camera :) Awesome!

Good job Austin from Insidermx that made this vid

Agreed, my buddy races and i usually trail ride. He took me to the track. Ill admit it i sucked at first, my arms were killing me i wanted to die and the kids flying over me didn't help either. But it was good time i gotta admit that.

4:12 i would have never hought i'd hear the words "the bike was too fast" out of his mouth

Well earnt lifestyle, family man now

3:48 HUUUUBBBEEERRRRTTTT!!

Hey complete success even your dad was happy after,I new it would be cool deal,I like RR hes good guy,I was wondering who else might be there to run with you or put up a fight...

i would hate life lining up with rc at lorettas😂

That's what happens when we grow up. It's all for the family.

his kids are adorable

best i'm big fen

da goat

I fucking love this guy all the way from the uk

yeah im in this video at 232 i got a shirt signed

The only triple Ricky did that weekend was at Wendy's.

Just kinda wanted to race someone. LOL

I bet with a few months of work outs and practice RC could come back and give RV some comp. I know he could make meat of Stewart now. JS needs to take a year off and go back to Loretta Lynn's and find the passion that once drove him. Fame and the BIG DOLLAR went to Stewarts head and has really messed him up. I do think Chad Reed will be RV's biggest threat with Dungy right behind him. But really I think an in shape Ricky C. could be right in the midst of things.

more weight, more traction ;)

His picture is on the friggin board at Lorettas, why would he put these guys through this pain

Wait so he was 1 second ahead of everyone, every single race, and he wasn't even trying to push his bike? Was this race a setup to make it easier for him to win, or was there some good riders here?

Yes drink a couple of cold 'ones'

What kind of helmet cam is he using?

Do you still call it "The Road Back To Loretta's" when your at Loretta's?

"I just wanted to race someone a little bit"... story of his career.... he only lost 20 something national. 102 overall wins out of a possible 126 and over 198 individual moto wins... poor guy never did get to race anyone besides James a couple times and Ricky still won over 90% of the overalls between the 2. Don't forget 10/10 outdoor titles 5 out of 8 supercross titles, didn't even ride in 2004 from his knee so technically he just lost 2 total but after his first championship in the premier class in supercross, he never lost another one he competed for which was against McGrath, Reed who handed it to Ricky the last half of 2003, they basically split the wins each winning one half of the season, and then James Stewart. He's raced the best in the world and beat them all... back when Chad was winning outdoors on Honda against both Ryan's and maintained a large points lead until his big crash, even then he said he's never seen anyone go as fast outdoors as Ricky even to that day. So if prime RC showed up even on his 07 Suzuki, he'd still be winning races and titles outdoors. He may not of had his 2 perfect seasons and then a 3rd undefeated season (in overalls, lost 2 motos ) in 2005, the year James Landes on RC at Unadilla, or his 86% win ratio, in the 450s it was in the 90%'s... but he'd still win. You can only go so fast and his bike power wise was plenty capable of hanging with today's 450's in terms of power and he'd drop into ruts faster than anyone I've ever seen, 06 and 07 still blows me away. Rant over, I just can't help it, the dudes amazing. Dungey is 2nd in 450 outdoor wins with less than half and only 3 titles which is tied with Eli for 2nd most titles... Ricky had 7 in 7 years, could of easily cruised to an 8th (11 combined) 450 outdoor title, he won every overall his partial season and after James went out with injury it would of veen an easy season. He missed 3 full races and was only down 49 points and left that day with a 1-1 and was only down 20 something with 3 rounds left, he could of just went 1-1 for 3 races and left with a million dollar title bonus, his race bonus which were insane... he'd bet on himself, he'd take a small salary (small for his worth), barley any bonus for 2nd on down, but his individual win bonuses would blow you're mind... that's how he'd get over 10million a year, thats without gear deals, endorsements, or championship bonus, 90% of that is all win bonuses. Add in all his endorsements and title bonuses (he always got 2 a year) and he probably made 15 million a year when the sport was doing real well, back when privateers could make 350k a year... it ain't like that anymore, satellite teams can't show off speakers or their sponsors products.. I remember in 05 the privateer teams would have their sponsors speakers and all sorts or products in the pits, it really made the sponsors fork over money cause it was a good investment. Now that they can't do any of that, sponsors pay fuck all.... and why would they for a small sticker that's covered by their leg and can't ve seen on TV without a magnify glass? It's not a good investment.

6:02 the kid in the black.lol

I think so

so ama mtocross champ next year?

Hubert Rowland?

Nobody even said in the comments that they smoke RC because he is fat, they just said he is fat, WHICH HE IS, BUT that doesn't make RC any worse of a racer.

what is the song name at 2:50 thanks

it good to see RC race, but he might of have ruined someones chances to shine. he's got all the glory and $$$ already i mean.

yeah he is a beast for sure and i hope he gets back into racing. But everyone here is forgetting that the only person really to beat RC is my favorite James BUBBA Stewart, yall remember all those battles i know i do. Now come on Stewart get healed and quit crashing slow it down a bit and youll still be on top lmao.

Is it ethical or common to start this at age 17 or 18.. I never done this but is it alright

HUBERT at 3:50

Today’s rider: you gotta be in top peak condition Ricky: hold my twinky

Ahhhh so that is why he couldn't keep the front wheel down! haha

anyone know the song at 0:41 ?

RC getting fat is prob a good thing? Moar traction!

i love Ricky and he is the best to ever ride a bike ,but come on he should of never been out there racing against them guys.That's like Michael Jordan playing in a summer league against the same style of competition! No one could of beat them at that time in their life's!

the goat needs to loose some weight :P

Whys he racing agaisnt lower ranked racers?

lol hes like 5ft but yeah

Ricky just looks chubby cause he's like 4' 3", even though he looks like he should be living in a hollow log and makin' cookies he's still fast as F#$k

You see rc pull up to the 25+ and just think fuck

6:15 put a fucking shirt on

Fat? Just look at his forearms! they're huge!

UN ZORRO PIERDE EL PELO PERO NO LAS MAÑAS JAJAJA

He quit racing lorettas dum dum

Proves you don't have to look like a Greek God to be the best at moto cross. Instead looks more like a transgender still transitioning. But still a cool dude.

who cares, lol.

it was cool for him to get back in the sport and come to the race and be out there. but he shouldn't be doing an amateur race and going to win, he should have let some other racer who maybe hasn't won much take this win. I have respect for him but I don't think this was a cool move RC.
