- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- Randy Lawrence has had one of the most remarkable careers in two wheels I have ever come across. He was an OG of the BMX scene in Southern California and the brother of "Factory" Phil Lawrence. He found his way into a roll as a mechanic and wound up working with "The King" Jeremy McGrath before retiring to race the Downhill World Cup for Intense. He then came back into moto to work as a trainer and carved out an amazing career for himself training guys like Jake Weimer and Ryan Villopoto.

RV came out to Oatfeild Raceway in Turlock California right after he got on a 250f and right before he went pro. I'd never seen anyone with with corner speed like he had on that day. Mike Allesi and Michael Brandes raced A class that day, and RV was on the second gate. He caught and passed the entire A class in moto 1, and Brandes won the first A class moto. I think RV crashed after passing both of them in moto 2, and Brandes crashed in moto 2 giving Alessi the overall. But for some reason Cycle News let Tony Allesi write an article about the race, and he completely whitewashed the entire weekend. You'd never know that RV was the man that day by reading that article. After watching him smoke those guys, I knew RV was a special dude
I used to be friends with RV’s mechanic before he turned pro. I used to race RC cars with my buddy and he stopped by one day with a pickup full of two kawis and a road bike and this small ginger kid. RV shoulder bumped me and they made fun of my 450 shock! At that time I remember they had just returned from racing in FL. I knew who RV was as an amateur but it was so cool to watch him become one of the greatest!
RV is one of my favourites just the pure aggression in his riding was on par with the goats
Alessi peaked as an amateur, Villopoto peaked as a professional.
nahhhh that's not true at all
@@tambourahall7865that’s exactly what happened. It could not be clearer.
He did pretty well on the Makita Suzuki and KTM
@@lukefish7562 its actually not and you sound very very ignorant saying that. He did very well on Rockstar Suzuki and factory KTM should have even won the championship in 2009. so lets stop with eh he peaked as a amateur. at least get your facts straight before talking shit.
@@tambourahall7865 that is very true what are you talking about
Randy is an awesome guy. Rode BMX with him when he was wrenching for Doug Dubach when the motocross races came thru Minnesota. Down to earth genuine guy who was scary good on a bmx bike too.
Watching him racing outdoors with a GoPro on is just incredible, the pure attacking style he used was very unique 👌
Alessi: “You guys are cheating!”
*Dungey entered the chat*
😂😂
makes sense, thats why he retired so early he just wanted to drink bud light and relax
Who is Ryan?
Couldn’t bench the bar ? Yea sure he was putting in work , sound more like he was taking some type of ped , which I don’t have a problem with i actually would agree with peds for riders jus cuz it’s mostly the motorcycle that you have to ride n how bad guys get hurt who need the best recovery, but I get it , it’s look down upon if your taking something, yet people don’t know if your a 15th place guy your probably only going to get 10th at best but if your a 2nd place guy then you’ll deff have more chance of getting 1st
here we go somebodys listened to the recent gypsy podcast on peds and is able to now identify tennage rv who no doubt was on peds. ha. nice. rv was on eof a kind. the best or one of. hes 100 up for being one of the best to ever do it. he made me laugh so much watching races
I dont think anyone gets guys on peds at 14 or 15 years old but if thats the case that is fucked up i really doubt it
@@theskyrack6433well they are kids that take adderall in elementary Skool that’s prescribed by a doc for adhd , Aaron Hernandez that played for the patriots smoked weed and sometimes mix with a lil pcp all thru his games since high school , so it’s always something that someone can take just to enhance them it don’t always gotta be like injecting steroids or taking them , hell I smoked at 14 daily but that kinda slowed my football performance up cuz I was still new to smoking but everyone is different so what u take might make u perform better but not me
