because he got the holeshot... the other thing is that reed pretty much messed up by not moving out of the way... and riders started getting stuck in that uphill
I was at the corner at the bottom of the hill when Stewart rode way down near the banners to get a run at the hill I got hit with a little bit of his roost, and my 16 year old self thought it was the coolest eff’n thing that ever happened to me lol..truly grateful I was there to experience that
@@EarthSurferUSA lol nah. Roostin is a game. It’s kinda like getting Smirnoff iced. If you get caught lacking, get stuck on the trail/track, or just behind me the whole time, I’m gonna roost you every time lmao. Can’t get mad just get even
I was here at this race all these years ago. They didn't show it well on the broadcast, but everyone was sliding down the hills. The whole thing was a shitshow so everyone just embraced it.
More like one drunk guy who wanted to make it on tv lol I watched him run and belly slide down the hill. They started asking people to stop after someone cut their back on the hill.
Actually no he wouldn't of, he woulda been roosted with mud he wouldn't be as fast. He won and lapped everybody because he got ahead of all the mud bullshit
I saw Ricky fail miserably in the mud at Southwick in 1998. He was literally crying as he was going around the track. I felt so bad for him. He was so frustrated.
@@nondualnavigation well for the mx nations or whatever race where countries compete they race on the european tracks and the mxgp tracks and do fairly well, although the Europeans usually dominate
I raced against RC and was lucky enough to get to watch him grow up riding here in Florida and he was so sick. Even on a kx80 he was hitting triples and hitting the huge table top at Dade city. Nothing but respect ✊
I got to ride with him and some of his buddies at Comp Park in southern California one day. Well we both rode the track at the same time I wasn't really riding with him, but 13 year old me though it was the coolest day ever. He was destroying all his friends and they were just messing around. He'd pull a lead on his buddies then wait for them to catch and pass him then rip by them again lol. I remember he was smoking everyone while sitting down the entire track, seat popping all the jumps 😂.
I lived in the time of "Showtime" & "The King Of Supercross" Jeremy McGrath. Even raced against him when he got off the minis and on to a 125. He smoked the snot out of the entire field. It was like if Haiden "Dangerboy" Deegan got on his 125 today and raced the novice class at Barona.
@@JB-vw7os LOL I love your comment. I learned to ride a dirt bike in 1979. Still a lot of two big spring shocks on the back and front lol. But the center air shock was being produced by then. My first dirt bike had points and a condenser, a metal gas tank and fenders and drum brakes on the front and back operated by a cable lol
Also for 3 seasons straight had a 100% podiums in MX and in that time only finished 3rd twice. Ricky also has two 100% podiums for two seasons of SX were as McGrath only has one.
I was there for this. The contrast between the first and second motos was crazy. Perfect conditions for the first 450 race, then about 2 hours straight of torrential downpour before the second moto. Super glad to have been there to witness motocross history. Ricky was on another level that day.
It’s amazing how smart of a rider Ricky was. I remember everyone else was going down low on the downhill corner. They were all getting stuck. Ricky was the only one smart enough to stay up high and out of the mud.
I live on the west coast and luckily I went to Millville the year before and witnessed how steep the hills are. This race cements the fact that Ricky is and will be the GOAT!!
I remember watching this live with my dad and my brother back when we were kids... just in awe of what was happening, and wondering how and where he could have found the motivation to not only win, but to literally ride circles around the next best guy. For all the younger riders today who don't remember this golden era of motocross and wonder why everyone calls him the G.O.A.T. there is no better example than this race.
I was at this race! Chad Reed lost his silencer on his bike it was so loud! We found a bag left behind with Andrew short signature gear! RV was a tank before the rain and RC with the 1:46 second lead ahead of everyone! So glad I can say I was apart of this history!
At least one racer thought, for a brief moment, as Ricky passed that they were in the lead...then at the checkered flag they realized he lapped their slow asses
So in the early running before Chad and James dumped over in that rut it was fascinating to see a) how far ahead Ricky was and b) how far James was ahead of the rest of them too.
I remember watching this as a kid and to see Stewart fall like he did after getting out of the mud i remember being so pissed but laughing so hard. Was a huge Stewart fan and Ricky
Ricky is the GOAT. It reminds me of when I cryed my way down my first slope skiing. I hated it, but then when I went the second time, I was much more prepared. It went from a 30 minute deal to a 3 minute slope. Then nothing was shit after that. I'm not winning any races skiing, but I know how a shitty day builds character.
3:25 Pure exhaustion is what that is. Riding is hard enough in dry conditions, then you slide around and drop it in the mud picking up 240lbs+ the weight of mud, sucks all the energy out of you.
I grew up watching Jeremy McGrath and then Ricky Carmichael you know I thought Bubba Stewart was going to be the goat but it seemed like he couldn't handle the pressure Ricky Carmichael hands down is one of the best to ever grace the sport of motocross Supercross the man was just an absolute beast and could handle pressure like it was nothing
Not one of the best,he is the best by far. Bubba never beat him for a championship. 150 overall wins, 2 perfect seasons, 10 straight championships(which is how many he contested) Nobody else is even in the ballpark
Such a legend, he’s truly the best to ever do it!!! James is a close second but I’m sorry, Ricky was just an absolute monster on the track and just about impossible to catch!!!! Any dirt bike rider in the world will tell you he’s the goat too, hands down!!! 🐐💯
Stewart was faster in supercross no doubt. Totally disagree in motocross. The unique thing about Ricky was he was able to ride on the edge where other riders would end up on the ground.
I was lucky(or unlucky) enough to be a Team Green rider in the 90's with RC, and the only chance anyone else had to win was in the mud....like Tom Brady, true 🐐's work on their weaknesses....so much respect.👊
I am driving motorcycles since the day I turned 18 (now 35) from CB500 to CBR1000RR Fireblade. I have driven a 125cc motocrossbike 1 time, it was the most crazy bike experience I have ever had and I was exhausted after 5 minutes. People don't realise how much strength and power it takes to even drive those bikes let alone in mud as deep as this
kevin windham has got to be one of the nicest guys that was riding. Remember asking for an autograph on a magazine as a young kid from him in the pits and he went back, signed his riding jersey, and gave it to me
I was there! Right at the bottom of the hill where everyone was getting stuck. One of the first years JS was on the big 450, he was holding on for life! Such a great memory watching everyone have trouble and Ricky just waltz passed making it look easy.
Herlings almost did same at Lierop 2012 , lapped entire field but his teammate van hoorebeek who came second ..and that wasnt a mudder ...these kind of races are very rare , RC was a level above at that time and these races will always be remembered
Have ever wondered what is going on inside their head: Ricky: 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.
In 1975 I was riding a Honda Elsinore. It rained all day Friday and Saturday. On Sunday it rained all day. 33 of us started the race, 7 of us finished. I finished dead last and got a trophy.
He had to get good in the mud because if he had to put a leg down he was going to fall over and never getting back on. He's too short for that to even be possible! The interview lady towers over him! Love that little guy ;-)

Was at that race. Crazy how Ricky was not phased by the mud at all while everyone else looked like they could barely ride a bike.
because he got the holeshot... the other thing is that reed pretty much messed up by not moving out of the way... and riders started getting stuck in that uphill
@@bewimotos or maybe it’s because he’s a badass rider anywhere anytime
@@dominicw8868 of course he is one of the greatest, but cant discard what happend in that section

i was just up the hill from there..pretty good spot.

@@JbBackFeeble calm down
Because a snowflakes may get offended 🤣
@@Equinsu_Ocha yesss 🤣

"When you saw Ricky lap you in 2nd place" LOL that was brutal.

Lol, I feel like it was one of those things where they saw a little kid doing it and everybody else joined in
I was there too. Such an awesome time.
More like one drunk guy who wanted to make it on tv lol I watched him run and belly slide down the hill. They started asking people to stop after someone cut their back on the hill.
@Kyler DeFeyter I heard about that from someone else! You know what they say about luck its s when preparedness meets opportunity lol.
why
Ricky could have left his bike at the finish on the last lap, walked the track, and still come out in first
no joke, i know someone who raced 85s against him, and he said by the time everyone else finished ricky was in the pits with his gear off.
@@danniemckinney3 same one guy ik said he was only in there sight for half a lap
Actually no he wouldn't of, he woulda been roosted with mud he wouldn't be as fast. He won and lapped everybody because he got ahead of all the mud bullshit

I agree
Me everytime I choose beginner difficulty level on any racing games
Lmfao
Rasing a Nissan Micra against buggatis n lambos

This is why he is and will always be my hero. Truly the goat

Maybe he learned and there u see the result of not training in sunny socal
Your just mad you can't ride every day of the year
@@ShrimpDaddys no, i meant that pro riders should maybe ride harder tracks than well prepped pala. MXGP guys ride hard tracks and are better

I was at this race and have been at every Spring Creek race since 2000 and this was by far the most memorable
What year was this race
@@tinorider1336 2006 if I remember right. Because RC came out of retirement in 2007 for 4 or 6 races and Spring Creek was one of them
Love watching these guys go faster in the mud than I can go in perfect conditions.
2 undefeated outdoor Mx seasons. 48 moto wins. Enough said.
and 150 overalls and 10 straight championships (every single one that he contested , he won)
@@Christatum411 Yeah man RC was a beast on a motorcycle. Nearly unbeatable. I miss him.

I remember Ricky crashed in the first corner at Phoenix, got up and passed the whole field to finish with like a half lap lead. 🐐
Also for 3 seasons straight had a 100% podiums in MX and in that time only finished 3rd twice. Ricky also has two 100% podiums for two seasons of SX were as McGrath only has one.
They Don't Call Him The GOAT for nothing!!!

Même les pilotes en Europe savent que RC est le meilleur de tout les temps. McGrath, JMB .
I remember watching this live and it was incredible. Carmichael showed he was in a completely different league.
Was there at “that” corner! Epic day to be a spectator!
My buddies and I were there as well. We were kids on the fence. Was still one of the best one for the memory book
I was alive to watch ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath. Some of the best.
The interview girl “you absolutely sucked in the mud 10 years ago” 😂
🤣🤣
Who else died laughing when Stewart tried to send it the second time and flung off the bike lol
I think RC is definitely the GOAT. Just an insane amount of talent .
Totally incomprehensible when James Stewart looks like a 5 year old beginner on a 50 at his first mud race.
It did, it was ridiculous.
JS7 not the brighest tool in the shed
We have a James Stewart fluffer in here?
LMAO

What an incredible talent. Don't think we'll ever see a mud race like this ever again.
“Has lapped the entire field” where it would normally show his lead time lmaoooo
Kind of shows it all ! when it comes to the greatest of all time ! Ricky deserves that title hands down!!
Yeah of course he does. He destroyed everybody that season

Stewart would have done more if Ricky didn't retire. He was only chasing him. But Ricky is the GOAT hands down 💯

This is absolutely my favorite video on youtube
I miss Erin Bates and Jenny Taft doing the interviews, they need to bring them back.
I was here, I was 12. And I was losing my mind as the biggest rc fan
This is the funniest race ever 😂😂
That record will never be tied
Oh man this was awesome... glad I randomly stumbled into it
Damn. I forgot about this race. Always hated RC because I was a McGrath kid. Love these old videos!

Agreed. But some of the best races where him and bubba. Best races both will say it to
@Martijn On a 2 stroke !!!
Stewart was the fastest rider hands down, but he didn’t have the bike control to finish the job. That’s what separated him from the goat.
Stewart was faster in supercross no doubt. Totally disagree in motocross. The unique thing about Ricky was he was able to ride on the edge where other riders would end up on the ground.
That was a memorable race!
The GOAT!
I’ve never seen bubba ride like that. He’s a legend. That mud took him out. But that’s why RC is the goat

Man milleville is the shit! That sand wash whoop section is insane when it’s 80 degrees and sunny. This is just bonkers.
Not just the entire field, probably against the greatest field of riders that ever rode on a bike.
Have ever wondered what is going on inside their head:
Ricky: 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.
It's 2022 now, and this is still awesome!

Man Ricky the legend
4:30 when a track rider shows he never rides OFF the track 😂
In 1975 I was riding a Honda Elsinore. It rained all day Friday and Saturday. On Sunday it rained all day. 33 of us started the race, 7 of us finished. I finished dead last and got a trophy.
4:15 james was exhausted he just sat down and didnt stand up anymore
This is more fun to watch than supercross in a stadium
Now this was real Motocross!
so proud i got to watch you ride ricky. your hands down the most all around racer of all time in my book.
He had to get good in the mud because if he had to put a leg down he was going to fall over and never getting back on. He's too short for that to even be possible! The interview lady towers over him! Love that little guy ;-)
watched this vid alot taught me about mudders, went to first race and gained aloy of position by staying up in the mudder
One of the smoothest mx racer I've ever seen wet or dry total control
Man, I was there. Awesome to witness history. I was right next to where Reed and Bubba got stuck. It was something else. RC is the GOAT
That was a beautiful ride,
