2000 Glen Helen Chevy Trucks AMA Motocross Championship (Round 1 of 12)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2013
- This is round 1 of the 2000 Chevy Trucks AMA Motocross Championship from Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, CA. This is the ONLY National from the year 2000 that I have.
Returning 250cc contenders like 1999 runner-up Kevin Windham, '94 champ Mike LaRocco, Sebastien Tortelli, Larry Ward, 250cc Motocross rookie Ricky Carmichael, Damon Huffman, 1998 125cc runner-up John Dowd, 250cc rookie David Vuillemin, Tim Ferry, and defending champ Greg Albertyn battle it out for the 2000 Chevy Trucks 250cc AMA Motocross Championship. This is Ricky Carmichael and David Vuillemin's first full 250cc Motocross seasons after Carmichael dropped back down to the 125cc class for the Nationals in 1999, and Vuillemin kept returning to Europe for the Grand Prix series after Supercross concluded. Jeff Emig is sidelined for the 2000 Nationals due to a fractured leg and back injuries sustained before the Vegas Supercross finale, which lead to his eventual retirement. This race marks Greg Albertyn's first race with the #1 plate, and his first race back from a broken femur he sustained at the Atlanta Supercross almost 3 months ago. This race also marks Jeremy McGrath's only Motocross National of the 2000 season, and his last until Steel City 2004.
Returning 125cc contenders like 1999 runner-up Brock Sellards, 125cc East SX champ Stephane Roncada, Nick Wey, Suzuki rookie Travis Pastrana, Michael Brandes, Nathan Ramsey, Kelly Smith, Ernesto Fonseca, 125cc West SX runner-up David Pingree, Casey Johnson, Casey Lytle, Tallon Vohland, 2-time champ Steve Lamson, Greg Schnell, KTM rookie Rodrig Thain, and Yamaha of Troy rookie Justin Buckelew battle it out for the 2000 Chevy Trucks 125cc AMA Motocross Championship. This race marks the pro motocross debuts for Travis Pastrana and Justin Buckelew. This race is well known for Michael Brandes' bad crash on the first lap in moto #2.
Enjoy.
Mathew, Scooter,your're doing an AMAZING job!
thank you SOOOOO MUCH!
You're very welcome. Hopefully you'll see some of the other races from the past that I've posted that have Travis in them -- granted all of them involve Travis doing bad.
Thanks so much for these uploads!!!! I love going back to a time with all the two strokes.
(Old reply must have gotten wiped out)
You're very welcome. I miss the two-strokes just as much as the next person, but I do feel that the 250cc 2-stroke has lost a considerable amount of credibility in some series (mainly Canada's MX2 class).
I was at this race. The year I turned Pro. Man, this brings back memories
Lucky you. I was 12 when this race came on TV.
Genuin era 🙏🏾
No disagreements there.
The good old days, back when we had two strokes and two genders@!
Haha. 2-strokes, yeah -- 2 genders??? I'm in-between.
I miss the 2-strokes just as much as the next person, but I am still fascinated at the 4-strokes today.
Best year of mx in history.
No disagreements -- Carmichael a 250 rookie wins the title, and Travis Pastrana comes from a 41-point deficit to rob Stephane Roncada of the 125 MX title.
Real motocross racing at its best !
All 2-strokes in the 125cc class, absolutely. Especially with only 1 4-stroke in the 250cc class.
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames I have never been as fond of indoors as outdoors. Perhaps because I started racing before there was any indoors spectacles , and even before there was any real motocross here in USA. Started with TT racing at Prado park in Kawleefornya many moons ago and just quit in 2007 from a serious wreck that crippled me for 10 years ! I have raced indoors as well but definitely an old school die hard motocrosser. I made my first motorcycle/scooter out of an old bicycle frame and a lawn mower motor with a piece of string for a throttle, at age 9. Back then nobody worried about safe or helmets or whatever, just go have some fun ! I still live exactly the same way and always will. Been thinking about returning to racing again as I have healed myself and now stronger than ever !
Later in the 70s we used to buy a new Yamaha DT1 and out a GYT kit in it and had the shit for sure ! About the same time as Hodakas and leading link front suspension was the hot setup. All got good after that and the Japanese revolution. No question todays 4 strokes track far better in the corners and throttle control not so critical. Todays MX machines are incredible and yes I had 4 strokes in 2007 and prior !

I'm the opposite -- I cared more for Supercross than Motocross after McGrath went Supercross-only in 1999, and Carmichael's 10-year reign and career came to an end after 2007. I showed interest again in 2009 when Chad Reed won the title as a late entry, but after Chad fell off the radar in MX again after late 2011, I stopped caring for the outdoors.
I raced a bit myself on a 60cc in 1998, but I skipped the 80cc class because I just wanted to ride for fun. I decided to try racing myself and went to 125cc Novice after I got out of high school in 2006. Unfortunately, I hurt my shoulder over 10 yrs. ago in January 2009 and I lost interest in racing. That's when I decided to just focus on living my life and getting through college and all. I only raced about 4 more times after that, but I doubt I'll ever race again -- especially since I made 31 YOA just about 3 weeks ago on February 16.
the way the video starts out "Will Greg Albertyn be able to repeat his championship last year, or will the new kid on the block Ricky Carmichael carry over from the 125 class" LOL!!! yeah, Albertyn *NEVER* stood a *FRACTION OF A PERCENT OF A CHANCE* against RC
DEM0N Well 2000 was pretty much Carmichael's rookie 250cc Motocross season, keep in mind. From what I heard, Albertyn hurt his knee at Hangtown and the pain was too much for him, even though he could compete in the races, which is why he announced 2000 would be his last season.
yeah, I know, I was at 3 of the nationals in 2000... MX-338 (Southwick, MA), Unadilla (New Berlin, NY) & Broome-Tioga (Binghamton, NY)... I remember it all. Wanna see something wild? pause the video and go to 7:37 & look at the 125cc starting grid, Number 30 is "115 - Doug Dubach", keep it Paused & go to 43:53 & on the 250cc Starting Grid, Grid Number 10 is "115 - Doug Dubach"
DEM0N Right on -- I've been around the sport since '97 and I haven't been to a race in my life (save for one in my home state of Hawaii that turned out to be a major flop). I've known that starting grid part for a long time now.
Holy christ I miss Speedworld covering Outdoor Motocross.
I missed it for a bit, but after having to wait until the following weekend for the broadcasts wasn't the best way to air MX before, but they did it.
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames I think now they deserve prime time coverage, billion dollar motorcycle companies involved and they seem to be put on the back burner. The sport deserves more respect and coverage.
When it was on SPEED and FOX Sports, they were a perfect fit (though FOX Sports did have a flaw here and there [i.e. a dog show that ran long on FS1]). I don't think Supercross is going back to ESPN2 unfortunately; when I saw the dismay fans showed when I saw the schedule on NBCSN, I began to agree that half the races are live and we gotta purchase NBC Gold to watch the races live. Unfortunately, when ESPN2 treated Supercross better by showing the races the next day (and not the MX broadcasts), it was kinda past the midnight hour in a way. I actually thought the coverage on SPEED was much better because the broadcasts were on at consistent times, though I didn't really like that they showed the 125cc/Lites broadcasts the following weekend until 2009 when SPEED showed both broadcasts back-to-back, and had at least 2-3 races LIVE.
Alby won only because everybody else was injured or had issues for one reason or another....his championship here in the states has a huge asterisk.
I wouldn't write Albertyn's championship season in 1999 off in any way. I think the title chase sort of ended when Sebastien Tortelli crashed out in the 2nd moto at Unadilla, but a title is a title no matter who's out there. Windham still had trouble finding his true speed, Carmichael was racing 125s, etc.
Same with grant Langston
Don't write off Langston's title yourself. A title is a title no matter WHO'S out there.
Matthew, the Gatorback Opener is online on the Motocross Vault's channel. He has 1994, 1995, and 1996.
Yes, I realize that.
Is there any way you could send me a higher quality version of this video?
sounds like bees attacking lol. gotta love 2 strokes
I won't disagree with anything said. I like the 2-strokes myself, but the 4-strokes kind of piqued my interest at times upon first introduction.
MathewV21688 that’s why I watched this video. I was thinking “when did 4 strokes take over motocross?” It was in the early 2000s and watching this video with the large amount of 2 strokes and the odd ball 4 stroke is totally opposite what it is today. It’s amazing what 17 years can do. I’m a big fan of the simplicity of my 2 strokes but nothing beats the thump and power of my friends yz250f (except for a yz450, that is).
I see. It was 2001 that the 250Fs were introduced via Yamaha, which I found to be fair in the sense of you don't have to be in the premiere class to ride a 4-stroke. I liked the sound of that 4-stroke when Henry rode it in 1998 (and the 1999 MX season) and Button in 1999.
Was the yz400f the bike that started the transition from 2 stroke to 4 stroke?
My answer to that is "no". It was just the introduction via Doug Henry; my theory is the "transition" started when Honda debuted their CR450F in 2001 at Vegas when Heath Voss rode it, and Ryan Hughes rode the 450cc for the 2001 Nationals, before his season was cut short due to concussions.
Not sure if you noticed but I uploaded round 2 of this series.
I had those same ProTaper gold bars on my 98' rm250!
Lucky you. I can't say whether or not I had those myself, but then again, I had used bikes myself until '06.
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames
Me too, the only brand new bike I've ever had was an 88' kx 80 that I got for my birthday when I was 13. I told my dad it was his fault that I'm a Motocross junky! Thanks Dad for all the broken bones, na just playing with him, I always thought wow man how lucky was I to have cool enough parents to have started me out in something so awesome. None of my friends parents would get them a full on race bike when they were that age. But ever since then I've bought my own bike and they've all been used, I've sunk a lot of money into this hobby, and had some outrageous medical bills but I just can't stand not having a dirt bike. I'm now in search of a 2003-04 rm 250 to restore, but all I've found so far is junk.
@@jamesrobert7155 OMG on everything! I guess I can say I've been lucky to only suffer a dislocated shoulder (January '09) in 23 years of riding (and occasional races).
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames
Mine are too much to list, it sounds unbelievable, but I wrecked my knee so bad in 2000 that my insurance from work didn't want to pay for it and I had to threaten them with a lawyer. That got it done thankfully but it still cost me $18,000 out of pocket, yeah it was bad. That's the worst thing and then all of the other stuff that comes with riding. But it's been well worth it! Btw when I hurt my knee I wasn't even on my bike, a friend had just bought a yz426, and I over jumped this big double and looped out, hyperextending my r knee. That 4stroke was too much for me that was the first I'd ridden one, a full race 4stroke, I've ridden a lot of four strokes, trail bikes and stuff but that thing was fast, it was madness. That bike gave him a lot of trouble though. Carbureted four strokes were tough to deal with.
@@jamesrobert7155 Damn that's tough with work insurance not paying for it and having to go to the distance of getting a lawyer.
Lucky for me I just wanted to ride for fun and not have to go through a pro career like that. And oh yes, carbureted 4-strokes are a BITCH to deal with -- specifically restarting the damn thing.
Ah I see. That's fine then. :)
In my opinion, it just isn't the same when the season opens at Glen Helen. I liked it better when it started at Gatorback instead.
I liked it to be HANGTOWN is where it all was happing I have bin to this race starting in 74 when it was in Plymouth, Ca. I have only mist 7 HANGTOWNS and raced it 5 times 78,79,81,82,and 89.all in the open class and on a 77 cr390 husky highly modified in 81 so much so I did not pass teck inspection I had to add 7 pounds to my bike and took it off just before my moto my husky 390 was in a 125 fram with 81 40mm forks and twin air fox shocks in the rear and a complete titanium hardware when I was done it only was 198 pounds with out had that made it super fast the motor was pumped up porting reeds pipe carb, it was clocked at 136mph with moto gearing 17"rear wheel 14"of travel rear 12.8 up front and a lot more it handled so dam good that's why I was still racing it In 89 I got 14 over all not bad for a 12 year old bike in the novice class thanks every body
@@georgedavis9411 When I was growing up, it always started at Glen Helen from '98-2003, and then again in 2008 and 2009. I thought it was better that way myself (and traditional to some extent). It's a shame Hangtown won't happen this year because of the stinking COVID-19 pandemic. I want to say that the promoters jumped a serious gun then, but I probably wouldn't have a lot of evidence to back me up besides my personal thoughts.
Looking for info on Sean Hickey Jr. Motocross racer
I think you meant Sean Hackley Jr. and, I hardly ever knew him.
Whattt round 2 also? Hell yeah hangtown right?
Well, I liked Glen Helen as the opener; you're looking at someone who's never seen Gatorback as the opener one time in his entire life.
MathewV21688 Had the chance to go to the Florida National last weekend at WW ranch. Got videos of myself riding it as well although it is a different layout.
Nice.
Never saw gator back as the opener either, was either glen helen or hangtown. Loved Glen Helen as the opener!
@@hunterdempster5675 Yep. By the time I got to following Supercross and Motocross in 1997, the Motocross season had already begun after the Atlanta race (Gatorback), and I didn't get into following the sport until Orlando (round 10).
I thought the 125's were more interesting to watch
I got that impression after 2001 when Carmichael was just running away with the race wins left, right, and center.
indoor or outdoor......Windham knew how to fade.
That's the unfortunate truth. The mental game really did Kevin in early in his career.
BAILEY WAS DEAD WRONG ABOUT CARMICHAEL WITH EVERY COMMENT. NOTHING EVER SHOOK HIM AND HE WOULD HAVE BLOWN BAILEY AWAY JUST LIKE HE DID EVERY MOTOCROSS SEASON AGAINST ALL OF THE REST OF THE BEST. AND HE NEVER FADED. EVER
Exactly. However, sometimes you never know about some riders when they step up to the premier class sometimes. Look at RV2 -- his first 450cc MX season in 2009, he swept the first round, only to drop out of the series one moto later due to a knee injury that dated back to his days on 80s.
Bailey.... I don't think ricky trains as hard as sabastein 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, keep in mind that 2000 was Carmichael's first FULL year on the 250cc machine after he went back to the 125cc class in 1999 Motocross. I think very few people (myself included) would've predicted RC would be the 250cc MX champ, and he proved everybody wrong. Besides, how many races did RC run in the 250cc class outdoors -- none! After seeing Leann Tweeden get a first-hand experience at Sebastien Tortelli's training program, Tortelli certainly proved to be a contender in Motocross, but after 2001, Carmichael got better and better, and in contrast, Tortelli couldn't stay away from crashes and "WTF" moments. Plus, by the time Tortelli got away from all that (2004), RC was already up to his elite status
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames awesome to hear such a detailed reply. To be honest my reply sounded arrogant.. I am a life long rc fan and st... St for me was one of the most talented riders to ever race but ironically rc for me simply out worked and out trained ever one... On his day without mistakes st was unbelievable.. I would have loved to have seen everts do I few rounds over in the outdoors say 01-06...that would be something.! All the best from the UK
@@joshhebson5752 Glad you liked my reply then. I didn't really see any arrogance in your original comment honestly. I was fortunate to start following the sport in '97 when RC's first full 125cc year began.
Agreed on Tortelli. The guy worked so hard, maybe harder than anybody, and his luck just downright sucked! Who could forget Red Bud 2001 moto 1 when he had to push his bike up the final hill and couldn't do it? And who could forget his bad second moto crash at Kenworthy's and Binghamton the same year (2001)?
I'd have liked to see Stefan Everts race against RC and Tortelli in the states during that time period as well. Except Everts had already raced in the states in the '80s and early '90s I think.
All the best back to you from the 50th state of Hawaii. :)
Nick "get out of the" Wey.
