People do not give Chad Reed the props he deserves at times at just how beautiful he rode that 2 stroke. So smooth with timing and keeping his bike low over those big triples. Had there been no RC and JS during his career Chad would have easily owned all the records and would be the winningest rider in AMA history. He basically was on the box 90% of his career
mc smokes reed
To me, this era was one of the most beautiful because of the sound of all the 2-strokes peppered with the grunt of the new fours. LOVE The combination!
Nothing beats the 90s for Moto.
I know what you mean, but your more accurate around 2000. By 2004 the line was almost all 4-strokes. From 1998 when Yamaha started selling them, it took 8 years for the pro starting line to be all 4-strokes, with RC and James selling out last,--and they were sill winning. :)
I remember when RC announced that he was switching to 4-strokes during a race I think, up in the box. I remember him choke a bit when he said, "They are the future", as if he was told to say that and really didn't want to. Just my guess, but he did choke a bit. Now, he is selling out anything he is told. He was a lot smarter on the track.
@@hydrofarmer15 That opinion only has data back to the 90's. The time before the 1986 production rule was the best, with the most racers/riders across the nation with affordable bikes that a 13 year old kid could buy, a manufacture race to a better bike every year, with the USA becoming the best racers in the world, and the racers having a personality. You should have seen Bob Hannah fill up the stadiums. But much more than that, many more bikes were sold. From 86 on, because bikes tripled in price in a short 5 years after the 1986 production rule, the sport started its decline. But the 90's were still very good indeed. But a kid could no longer buy his own bike with a kid job. The 70's and early 80's in MX were a lot like the slightly earlier muscle car era, with tons of free market activity and freedom going on. It was wonderful. The early Mt. Bike industry was much the same too, with any cyclist with a machine shop getting into the early act, and of course with the early automobile, where over 1000 companies were making (or trying to) make the new cars. That shit is fun stuff man, the early part of an industry. Especially if you are in a skilled position to be involved. If you are not staring a new industry, the best time to get involved with a growing one, is at the beginning. That is where the most opportunity is. :)
Couldn’t agree more
@@EarthSurferUSA not true. 75 percent of the field was still on two strokes in the premier class. In 05 it was closer to 50. Then in 06 it was all fours with only a couple two strokes.
Am I the only one who thought the mud race was freakin hilarious??
it reminded me of female endurocross
Thats what i would look like on a dry, prepped SX track. 😭
@@langhelm426 lol
It was hilarious on UA-cam but man idk, I'd be pissed if i paid to see a Supercross and watched this. I was high speed and high flying action.
@@ImGoingSupersonic I see it differently today. I see the tracks designed (by the FIM), to keep everybody the same speed. We say it makes closer racing, but it does that by slowing down the best talent so the lesser talent has a chance,---to win a trophy, (if you know what I mean---for everybody). I don't like to see everybody going the same speed, it is like a parade to me. In fact, you will see very little passing after lap 10 of a 20-27 lap race today, as they don't get faster, but just make less mistakes. I miss the days when the racer had no idea what the track was like, and almost nobody had it wired. We could see who had the best talent, and they would actually have enough confidence to say "I am going to win this race/championship", which they do not say anymore---and that is also psychological sabotage IMO, keeping a guy from being great. I would rather see a mud race now, or even hill climbing, where I can see who is the best.
I do love a parade though to,---just not for racing.
Anyone rewatching this during corona quarantines??
I love these old races! Thank you for posting!
What about Bar to bar 2003? I've done quite a bit searching and can't find it.
And to think that 13 years later, Chad Reed would prove age is but a number at 34 years old coming in 2nd place at Phoenix in 2017...
He is trash
@@johnnybgood774 definitely has not been performing very often
@@johnnybgood774 mad cause you still cant clear a single?
@@backwithabang5842 is that a double minus 1
i agree i wish more riders would stick around long like he & windham did & im a big js7 fan but i liked seeing 22 race
My right ear loved this.
If I showed up to a mid race like that I’d just turn around and “see yall at the next one”
Where the hell is B2B 2003???!!!!
Man if Pastrana could have lasted a season that would have been interesting
That ultra mudder in spain was rad! love the 2 strokes ripping hard.
Wow, I had no idea Pastrana was still racing supercross in '04! (or trying)
Braap Braap! Thump Thump!! Reed! Windham! LOVE IT.
10:45 "the Butterfinger wholeshot" lmao
Reed never won a title when his main competitors (Stew and RC) were there for all the races. Just sayin.
True, but if it were not for Reed, RC and James would not have gotten fast enough to beat him, (and Reed won his share of races against them). Man, the battles they had were great.
Best video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant upload, great to look back on a mix of 2 and 4 strokes braaaaaaaap
So cool to see Windham in his prime! He came so close to premier class champion.
I miss 2004 😢😢😢
This was an exciting year.
Go the Kiwi!!! Proud NZer here. Wrong colour bike but still awesome to see a kiwi win. If only he was on a yamaha that would be perfect
Thanks for posting, you guys rock!
These are the type of tracks you should be building nowadays. A little more difficult and technical it would make for better racing. IMO
+cdiazg I agree, it's awesome to see Reed & Windham go at it on these tracks!
+cdiazg 2016 has had many technical tracks. Glendale, the largest one, has been my favorite. It was high speed, slow and technical, and had bike-eating whoops!
"high speed, slow...." tf
Some sections were high speed. Others were slow and technical.
Lol i got that. Just the way you worded it
Man, I am watching this old race in 2022. Widahms little girl would be 19 years old now. Lol, thats crazy
I never thought Windham was all that fast.
Woah,
Didn't know Putin can bring it on the track
He’s there to kill em all
2stroke forever
Look at the 2 stroke sank the 4 stroke.
And bet Wimdham put the led in the Yamahas
10Point Penalty was a Joke! i takes alot to make kdub so angry to do this.
pause at 35:24.. did Chad really not run sponsors on his bike that year!???
Much respect to Kdub, but take away that 4 stroke and it wouldn’t have been such a competitive battle.
Barcia would be in the negatives if he raced during this era lol
17:36 Might be my favorite Kevin Windham moment. Vuillemin's move in the corner before it was cheeky af, and I think anybody that loves racing understands that DV had it coming in the next turn.
Disagree. DV's pass was aggressive, but clean. Windham crossed the line.
K dub and the big rub.
Windham gave the best advice a man could ever hear
time stamp 21:21
Great racing, but the energy of this Championship was so low compared to past years. No McGrath. No Carmichael. Pastrana injured. Nobody liked Vuilleman. A perfect chance for Kevin Windham, but who the fuck is Chad Reed? Even the announcers are different. Just a different vibe overall, but now that we love Chad Reed, it's cool to look back and remember the beginning of his dominance, and it's cool to remember the other top 10 guys and how special they were.
P.S. AMA are a bunch of morons.
Penalized Windham 10 points for aggressive riding in 2004 and now look what riders get away with and reed got away with
ama is the problem not the solution
The FIM had failed a couple times with a world SX series before this. And here they add it in our series. Chad was smart. Said he sat out the 2 rounds of the infiltration world series rounds with a shoulder injury. I doubt he gave a damn about the FIM "piggy back ride" alternate world championship anyway. Little did we know, this was a stepping stone of the FIM to totally take over USA SX, and make the tracks terrible for the best talent in the USA. The FIM, they are as sneaky and self serving as communism, just taking over stuff that other built, and of course, screwing it up.
totally wrong ama rules ruined 2 stroke racing and bikes i hope ama goes bankrupt and fails just like nascar
announcers are pro reed pro yamaha
1:20:29 The only nation that are greater sports cheats than Americans are the British in snormula 1.
The AMA was and is about their own money. Kevin pretty much said it, I don`t think it`s good for the sport. This was an era of great racers.
The AMA is not a separate entity from the FIM. The AMA is really an arm of the FIM, and they do what the FIM tells them to do. I learned that during the 2001 promoters conflict. Nobody in the AMA is getting rich from our racing. But all the politicians who claim to be for the little guy sure get much more rich than their paychecks to represent us add up to. When you hear somebody tell you, "We have to go after the rich", and that person is a politician, that means you will never be able to get rich if they get their way.
Darrel Hurley was the best in mud
windham is better than reed
So they found "traces" of lead in reeds fuel but wouldn't tell them how much or what. I wonder if they pulled that so they could run the title chase out. Bc with no ricky and Chad already won I bet they would've lost alot of viewers.
The over powered regulators do not care about the bikes, riders, our cars, how we live. They only care about their power, no matter how nonsensical their rules are in reality. They have the power to destroy everything we can build, and it is not only wrong, but evil.
Id be pisses paying for a ticket to watch that bs in the beginning lol. I mean, its funny but
You should be pissed because you can't spell "Holeshot". We need to redefine "class action law suit", and sue our schools, and I am not a very good speller. But I got a lot better at math in college.
The whole fuel thing was garbage just like when it happened with Suzuki and RC which he threatened the AMA to forfeit the series if they did not give his points back and well they did.
REED IS SUCH A TOOL!!!
Not at all. He lives by the judgement of his own mind. I loved it when he once said, "I despise being told what to do.". That is no tool. :)
i saw a video where reed stated his grandfather was black, ............ have you seen his kids , nothing but little aryans. i don't know what the hell he was talking about!!!!!
new comment for every thoughts you have? >
eckmann and bailey are alot better than these clowns
NOT ENOUGH TEAM GREEN WHERES BUBBA??? KAWASAKI STILL MADE BEST 250 STOCK..
A championship within a championship is dumb. It really made no sense at all. And what's different about Tyler Evans? He's dead now, that's what's different
