These guys know these machines so well, so much time on them. That it makes a save, or "semi save," like this even possible. Incredible skill, agility, finesse
Hilux244 absolutely. this video is a testament to the riders skill and agility. he also my have had some of lady luck with him on this day for moral support.
Soooo very true. When I think about my comfort and ability levels, back when I was young, it's genuinely kinda crazy to think how HUGE the gap is... And it's exactly what u touched on: The seat time. Same way that expert marksmen can do absolutely incredible feats, fairly regularly, after yrs and yrs of practice. Muscle memory is SO crucial in anything high-pressure, & super technical like MotoGP racing, or being a professional golfer, or a sniper, or a concert violinist, etc etc etc... You can pretty much count on the fact that whoever has risen to the top of their respective field/profession, it has quite a bit to do with their degree of commitment to becoming great, regardless of the sacrifices made in order to get there. Tiger Woods was swinging clubs when he was 2 & 3 yrs old. Fairly sure this rider probably started off raising hell around the yard on a little 50cc dirt bike as a young kid... There's no replacement for all the time spent repeating something so many times, that u truly ARE able to achieve seemingly impossible feats which "normal people" never could. Becoming great at ANYthing I life takes a large degree of sacrifice. I applaud anyone who is able to set the bar as high as this rider did making the save he did... Really good stuff👌🏼
I remember seeing this 'almost live' on TV when the race was aired. Highsided, both wheels off the ground and he headbutted his front race number, and still stayed on!!! Perhaps the greatest save ever, certainly the best I've ever seen.
Randy non ha mai vinto il titolo mondiale ma è stato un mito del motomondiale classe 500 ; indimenticabile questa sequenza a Misano come anche i suoi show ad Assen .
Un sacré pilote ! Quand il était sur la grille de départ on savait qu’il allait donner du fil a retordre a ses adversaires. Si son impulsivité et son agressivité sur la piste l’auront parfois desservi il restera un pilote mythique des années 80
Never followed the 4 stroke MotoGP...stopped watching after the 2 strokes retired..miss the skills of these great riders and the power of the 2 strokes..
Ringa Ding Ding Two Stroke TZ 750, TZ 500, YZ 250, YZ 360, YZ 400, SC 500, RM 250, Elsinore 250, Jawa CZ 250, Maico 490, Bultaco 240, Ossa 250, Montessa 250, Husquvarna 250, and many 125s That Castor Bean Blue Smoke and that racing smell those efficient engines were. Without radiator after 20 minutes or so a 20% reduction was lost due to heat. Two Stroke's steer with back wheel being the engine works with a different process than 4 Strokes. Just opposite with 4 Stroke's being front wheel is the power factor in steering chapter 2 Torque vs RPMs...
He was unable to do the same with a Cagiva in 1988... on 22 races 18 times did not finish the race for crashes....till the time Cagiva fired him. Well done.
And he ended up finishing 3rd. Unbelivable!
Is not during the race
Gardner, Schwantz, Rainey, Mamola, (and a bit later) Doohan .. what an era. Even Rossi & Marquez dream to race with them.
Fred Spencer did though
And Eddie Lawson
Yes I should include Freddie Spencer & Eddie Lawson ..
@@santosj2274 yep
And Kenny Roberts

r mamola is a master class rider He is a teacher of all times, who would not want to learn from him?☺😃
That had fuck all to do with “knowing the machine”.
Mamola and Schwantz was the most funny and spectacular riders of all time. Great riders!
Edosardo73 And great color commentators too. Love hearing them pair with a great play-by-play announcer.
Rossi is better
@@Vhs.dreams I'd enjoy seeing Rossi on one of those bikes. Like say a 1990 Suzuki RGV500? Would be very interesting.
@@Vhs.dreams you compared apples and oranges
@@Vhs.dreams Rossi would finish behind the 500cc TALENT ...wake up
OLD SCHOOL GUYS,, THE BEST EVER,, 2 STROKE,,
"Crashing without falling off''
well said

Pause at 0:45 and tell me it's a saveable situation. No fricking way! WOW! 25% luck, 75% experience. Awesome. Thanks for posting this.
A testament to his talent
my god the slow motion !

Two Strokes are coming back on the dirt maybe on the track 2
In real time it was an awesome save..in slo-mo it was just...unbelievable. Very well done Randy.
The world a needs 2-stroke 500cc moto gp class
Jojo Mahama yeaah bro!
2-stroke is so dead.
Only the deaf could disagree.
@@blacklight4460 only the deaf could agree. 2 strokes sound like garbage and garden tools.
@@monkmoto1887 You need a forehead sticker "Sound of garbage expert".
Mestre!!!!
Mamola foi fodástico!!
Pilotava muito!!!
O Mamola era um Showman ,saudades de uma época descolada!!!
Never followed the 4 stroke MotoGP...stopped watching after the 2 strokes retired..miss the skills of these great riders and the power of the 2 strokes..
I remember this watching this back in '85 when I was just getting into riding. Crazy move Randy!
Puro espectáculo el amigo Mamola
Randy strung together a kiss of death, superman and nac nac in about 1.5 seconds. The OG freestyle moto guy...
uncrowned king
I love him
I remember watching this live. Stunning!
Mamola was the man on his days, great rider and always having fun riding.
Not today, death!
Fantastico!!!
Legend and awesome man
C'ero anch'io! Lo vidi arrivare senza cupolino. Mitico!
AMAZING!!!
I remember watching this on the telly way back. I'm sure he finished in the top 3 after this. Superb rider.
To me the greatest and a great humanitarian…a life well lived humble brave funny and hugely talented…
We have a new kid on the block.....Odendaal!
LMAO - Odenaal brought me here!
2 strokes engines with 2T oil.. That is what i call a real man
to aqui pelo que Álex Márquez fez hoje, igualzinho só que com pista molhada... habilidade purinha dessas feras ai
Maintaining good throttle control at all times lol
Mamola, ha sido de los mejores pilotos que han habido.
Incredible !!!
Experience!! No electronic nannies either! Beast mode!
Randy is the Best Men VS Machine.
Fantastic!
crazy things, incredible
Awesome Randy! 😲😲👍👍
A-mazing!
Clase de salvada....wow!
If Mamola wasn't such a strong young man, he would have never pulled it off.
I reminded Randy about this incident at the 2012 Birmingham motorcycle show.He still laughs it off
RANDY MAMOLA....... STRAGRANDISSIMO
love it never give up
Bons tempos...
Like a total and utter boss.
GREAT MAMOLA!!!!!
I remember seeing this on Car Wars VHS-tape.
¡SALVADA!
Yes, that is why he says in the interview: "I didnt catch it"
That shit is amazing! I woulda crashed. Great save!
Best ever save
Change of underpants needed just to watch this! Mamola -- the Saviour!
Legend 😂
Brutal!
Great camera work.
..an era when it's just man and machine...no electronic "buffers"...
Grande controllo di Mamola la era un toro impazzito👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏👏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏🤘👏🤘👏👏👏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
spanish say Randy "Cojones" mamola
esse era muito bom...Randy eternety
Well nothing to say. Superman.
Espetacular

“Ooohhhh hear I go again!!, ahhh I saved it” 😭
Hilarious awesome save
thumb up, if you're here after seeing Lorenzo Del Bianco :) (SBK Donington Park 2019)
TETRA VICE- CAMPEAO DO MUNDO, UM PILOTO DE ESPETACULOS
The biggest ever save !
Uy control absoluto
Wow...very nice.
He was unable to do the same with a Cagiva in 1988... on 22 races 18 times did not finish the race for crashes....till the time Cagiva fired him. Well done.
legendary
Piloti cosi non ne fanno piu ,, 🙏👍😊
The goal with those 2-stroke monsters was to keep the front wheel on the ground!
Also avoid the rear wheel to lose grip when engine hitting the torque going out of corners, as happened to Mamola.
Great PJ1... Gasssss
A tire kiss and a rodeo without crashing....Amazing!!!!
Team kenpich!!!
😊
Belles années
One of my favorite riders...Randy was always so close to winning titles and always fun to watch.
If it wasnt for Freddy Spencer, Mamola would be the greatest.
he is gracefull
Genius
mémorable randy
Superhuman abilities !!!
Saves the bike, then proceeds to surf like a boss
0:44 whole bike in the air
all smiles that day. lucky bastard.
Super scary!!!! Brave man!
Bloody hell I rember that.
What a guy.
Fire bleid
2 stroke is for real man..
OMG the Bieffe helmets sign too.... of course I had one! Where did THEY go???
For the moment that will make you say that was impossible pause at 0:48
you are so lucky....man
Remember, he did this with a 2 stroke 500cc with no electronical assistance
Seems like he would have done really well in Pro Rodeo.
