I have nothing bad to say about any of the 250 riders of this generation. Tomac IS a beast. But suggest you take a look at the 1983 125 class for a more competitive environment with O'Mara, Ward, Barnett, and Lechien. Or the 1985 250 class with Ward, O'Mara, Rick Johnson and Bob Hannah. The early 2 stroke days had some amazingly competitive race series, unlike more recent times when a single rider goes on a multi-year run.
Tomac is In a perpetual state of attack mode.. it’s impressive to watch. Such an aggressive style that’s not seen very often. Deegan has the same energy.
250 Class is ALWAYS stacked! Just have to realize the talent right in front of you! Kitchen, Shimoda, H. Lawrence, Deegan, they're the stars of tomorrow. Don't sleep on ANY of em just cuz they're in the 250 class.
@@elmateo487 speaking from experience ( never pro level by any means) after a certain amount of injuries, the risk outweighs the reward in most cases. yea you win, but at what cost
Tomac vs. Roczen for the past 10 years has been such a treat. They had a great battle at A2 this year. And their battle in 2014 here at spring creek both as 450 rookies I think is one of the best battles of all time. First year with Mt. Martin I believe also
I first met Balke at an Amatuer motocross event in 2015. We talked about racing, went for a walk, held hands and watched the sunset. Blake is an amazing guy and I will never forget that day.
When I was in Middle School I saw in a glass case a school project (my friend had made) about Eli Tomac when he was #43 on an 85 Suzuki. To imagine that his career would pan out the way it has after all these years is absolutely wild.
I know this is focusing on *Tomac* what shows *Baggett* retired to early I know he had contract dispute not getting paid with a team I thought he would take a year off for contractual reasons just surprised he never came back
It’s a beautiful thing to watch when ET3 is feeling it and in that zone. When ET3 is in these modes(Rides), where’d you rank him amongst the greats? In the likes of RC, JS, RV, etc…
I will first state that I am a big Eli Tomac fan but, Marshawn Lynch was the 1st person to be nickname "Beastmode" and rightfully so! This happened during the 2010-11 NFL season when in a playoff game which saw him rush for 67 yards while breaking nine tackles, is considered one of the greatest runs in NFL history. So announcers should be a little more respectful, creative and stop stealing nicknames from other sports.
I was saying back when i got to watching MOTOCROSS again since RICKY RETIRED. I SAW BAGGET RACING TOMAC. DIDN'T KNOW EITHER RIDER. BUT SAW SEVERAL RACES, CAN'T SAY WHAT YEAR, DON'T REMEMBER. BUT I REMEMBER SAYING THAT BAGGET DUDE IS THE FASTEST GUY OUT THERE. AND WILL WIN MANY TITLES. THAT WAS BEFORE THIS TIME BY QUITE A FEW YEARS. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY? BUT BAGGETT WAS FASTER AND BETTER THAN TOMAC AND EVERYONR ELSE OUT THERE AT THE TIME I STARTED WATCHING MOTOCROSS AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE IT WAS THE 250 CLASS . BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO WERE THE 450 BEST IF THEY WERE DTILL ON 259S
Baggett never won a 459 title that I can remember tho. I said BAGGETT JUST DOESN'T TRAIN TO BE THE BEST OR HE WOULD BE. BECAUSE I AM STILL KEEPING UP WITH MOTOCROSS YEAR AFTER YEAR. AND BAGGETT COULD BE WAY OUT FRONT AND GET CAUGHT , PASSED AND THEN LOSE SEVERAL MORE POSITIONS. BAGGETT WAS FASTER THAN TOMAC. AND IF HE TRAINED RIGHT TOMAC MIGHT NOT HAVE CAME ALONG TO BECOME MY FAVORITE RIDER FOR YRARD. AND STILL IS. BUT PEOPLE JETT IS AN OTHER WORLDLY TYPE OF GUY THAT MOTOCROSS HAS NEVER SAW SINCE THE START OF MOTOCROSS. HE STAYS HEALTHY AND DOESN'T HAVE A WRECK THAT ENDS HIS CAREER HE WILL SET ALL NEW RECORDS KNOW MATTER WHERE HE GOES. I'D LOVE TO SEE TOMAC BE ABLE TO RUN WITH JETT IN ,2024. JUST Don't think it's gonna happen guys. Supercross id the best chance at beating JETT. OUTDOORS, EVERYBODY CAB JUST FORGET IT
here we have another young person that did not finish school and has no idea how to spell or create a sentence that actually means something. Or maybe just a stoner...
The NEW 3 in 1 is 18: full beastMODE of ET3, fastest man alive JS7 & mr. Consistent RD5...welcome to the big league Jett Lawrence and possibly Hunter Lawrence. It's a NEW day and a new GOAT!
Jett Has never been raced by Tomac yet, besides Jett has years to come. MC still had beaten a Young RC wishing all the best of Luck to Eli but one thing for sure Mid-Season Tomac is Scary for the Field.
@@eric6rock Yes, but Jett will beat Eli. I like Eli much, but I think it's gonna be a decade of Jett unless Jett beats himself. Either way looks like a great year coming to SMX racing. I do feel that 23 got a gift and will not win another championship in the 450 class unless something happens again, like with Eli. What do you think...I'll put a $1 on it : )
the most stacked 250 class ever, this whole generation was nasty
Class was crazy back then

It’s insane how much Tomac’s riding style has evolved, thanks for posting
Kinda looks like how Haiden currently rides. Real loose style and hammering the throttle
You live and you learn!

Facts.
Man I love these throwbacks. Thank you Racer X 🙌
This channel is epic. 250 class was stacked!

@@djjazzyjeff1232hasn't been stacked like this since these. Guys was all here or the Stewart charmichal days
This new page is absolute fire. Can we get anything rv next most underrated superstar of all time
Yes.
IMO. Him retiring and essentially giving up on his career early makes him rated properly.

These vids saved my off-season, im getting antsy for A1 but this helped a ton.
In 2013, Tomac made us happy more than once) I would like to remember this)
Millville is as gnarly as it gets. Best racing all Outdoor Season, ALWAYS!
We will never experience that many people who can win in a race ever again. So much talent out of amateurs between villo class to tomacs

highpoint 2012 was the real birth of beast mode, iykyk
And 10 years later Tomac is still fast AF!
Wow how amazing is this class?! This is great
yall are doing gods work!!! thanks for these great memories in good quALITY
Crazy to think this was ten years ago already😮
Like a dozen 250 champs🏆 in One race
Birth of beast mode. Love it
That pass on Baggett was something else man he set that up perfectly when he railed that turn before the table
This era produced so many great riders!
good job lodi Eli tomac.amazing performance.🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿🙏🙏🙏
It's wild seeing these guys looking so young. This was the beginning of beats mode for sure.
Love it!!! Keep them coming!!!
That's a cool bike!
This is so stacked
thank you racer x
So many current guys today in ‘24 earning stripes here. So cool to see
Can you remaster 2002/3/4/5 races? that will be huge
That's what I'm waiting for!
Good job thank you I forgot how badass Doug was til I heard it summed up like this. 👍 P. S. DANNY 'MAGOO' CHANDLER.
That pass on Anderson @ 5:41 🔥
I know this is focusing on *Tomac* what shows *Baggett* retired to early I know he had contract dispute not getting paid with a team I thought he would take a year off for contractual reasons just surprised he never came back
BRO MY BROTHER IS RIGHT UP ON THE FENCE BY THE PODIUM AT THE END 😭😭😭 such a long time ago
"Never, never, never give up!!"
It’s a beautiful thing to watch when ET3 is feeling it and in that zone.
When ET3 is in these modes(Rides), where’d you rank him amongst the greats? In the likes of RC, JS, RV, etc…
When was the term “beast mode” first used on the broadcast? Someone dig into it!
In 10 years will the Deegan Washougal Race be put up on here with the same title ?
good race
Tomac WAS awesome. Now, the Lawrence brothers will dominate !
I miss Baggett 😢
Who knew Will Hahn would one day be such goober hugger
HighPoint 2012>
Goddam baggett was the truth on that kawy so sad to see him gone
Hopefully take on the donut guy.
I need to kick myself in the ass for not watching sx/mx back then.
NASHE
He will be beaten by herlings every race
