Not many people get to see their legacy live on large while they are alive. It must be an incredible feeling and can imagine seeing this stirred up some emotions for Ricky. Truly amazing, what an absolute amazing experience and opportunity for young riders coming up.

Ricky.. much respect you completely rewrote the history and the future of the sport of AMA Moto and supercross. You brought the sport to a whole new level of preparation and competition. The hardest working rider I had ever seen, you set your sights on McGrath when you were still on that procircuit kx125, you ran him down and took the crown.

I could listen to RC all day long…what an incredible rider and person

A lot of people don’t realize just how small RC was back in the day and for him to ride a 2 stroke 250 to the edge is INSANE the amount of conditioning and strength he had to have. RC is great to watch race!

Don’t forget a factory 450; that’s a lot of bike and he had no problem.

My two sons and I absolutely loved watching you race Ricky. We loved you most in green.😂 We watched you battle in St. Louis for 7 straight years and were always glued to the TV whenever Motorcross or Supercross was on. You were the man!! Congratulations man!! You earned all of your success the good old fashioned way.

The fact they have kept everything there, that's awesome. I can't fathom what it's like for him to stand there and think back on having lived what he has lived.

Very cool to see the original shop Ricky had! Thanks for sharing !!

Very special. Thank you NBC for filming this

The sport has evolved , but this shows you where it all starts . A devoted Dad, a kid with a hunger . It’s there for the taking , you just have to want it .

Always wanted to ride there. I love how the Rusty #4 Watertruck NEVER has been discarded.

I did a lock out for him back in the early 2000s, auto club call in anaheim hills , 34 dollar tip and he signed his riding trunks for me , awesome guy, and an awesome autograph! Thank RC, I still have them btw!

That was a really cool personal look at some of the original Goat Farm areas during your career Ricky, I believe Star Racing Yamaha's move to Florida only escalated the value and as well as building a first classic facility to assist in winning Championships 💪🏝🌊🏆🏁

I met Ricky in the UK at Motocross of nations many years ago, such a Top Guy has plenty of time for anyone. Love u man!!!... Btw, Ricky's old workshop should be preserved as a museum. One I'd definitely like to visit some day.. thanks for sharing Ricky look after yourself my man 🙏👍🤙

Love Star Racing Yamaha and Ricky Carmichael. What a great video. Too cool!

Carmichael and McGrath the kings of racing!!

Wow this was so awesome. i am glad they are trying to keep everything similar to how RC learned.

pure awesomeness

Love this video and the Carmichael family history!

I met Ricky about 20 years ago in Madison FL. He was traveling through. Not being a chump but asked him for his autograph. Nice guy glady gave it to me. At the time I was a weekend warrior KX 500. Had various bikes throughout the years. Anyway my longtime mechanic who raced in the seventies sponsored etc was dumbfounded when I said I have something for you. Handed it to him and he held it like the holy grail. At 51 I don't ride anymore but hearing seeing smelling a 2 stroker brings back memories

absolutely awesome. team yamaha keeping the past in tribute to the goat

Ricky was the king on a bike him and James would battle I love watching those too!🏁

This is cool. Took me down memory lane too. I havent been into supercross past 10 is years

RC is and will always be the man! So humble I got to meet him once he didn't disappoint!

AMAZING content !! well done to all involved, and of course, We love us some GOAT !

Looking at the thumbnail, I was like, "Wow, Rob Dyrdek looking old these days!" 😂

Good memories, dad , best to you and your family Ricky

It’s awesome to say i got to train there when it was still Ricky’s!

It was so nice to meet him when I was in La area. humble guy but go big get er done kinda guy..I love the vibe….

That was a awesome video 👍talking about the roots of the sport RC is the king.

It's so cool that a place like this was able to be saved. Sometimes really specialized properties can't find buyers and fall into disrepair.

Totally blown away that was so sick love the start this is how it was then let's go have a look how it is now then boooom🔥🔥🔥👌

Bro in the thumbnail i thought it was Rob Dyrdek in a prosthetic lmao

This was an awesome inside look at Graceland!!!!

Ricky looks like he could still put the Pads on and go at it I’m sure he could still ride I always love seeing Supercross come to town I live in Michigan and it was the highlight of my life every year when they race at the Silverdome in Pontiac and then now at Ford field

Man I looked up to this guy like no other!

Amazing facility - Star riders are way too pampered !

One of my favorite riders of all time. Not a big crasher. Good guy too

That is a very cool vid. Ricky did more with less,..which is truly amazing. But what a great show of commitment by Yamaha and its riders and staff to bring the sport to another level.

That place looks epic, dirt always looked phenomenal

Absolute legend

Hallowed ground. Special video 👌

Good job Ricky big big fan bro rock on I remember you taking a rip on the quad zilla

The old shop still my dream shop lol

RICKY CARMICHAEL IS THE GOAT. HE ALSO HAS PUT FORTH MORE THANANY OTHER MOTOCROSS RIDER IN THE WORLD IN HELPING WITH THE SPORT. HE IS AS NICE A GUY AS ANYONE ON THIS PLANET. AND WILL HELP ANYONE THAT HAS HEART AND MEANS IN THE SPORT OF RACING MOTOCROSS BIKES

“We had no air-conditioning in this place, by the way. We wanted to be in the elements.” That harkens back to when Bob Hannah suffered heat stroke at the New Orleans national in 1975. After that he swore off air-conditioning of any kind. No wonder Hannah and Carmichael were so dominant.

What a class act 😮🤠🙏🤟

That polished cement workshop floor..😮

Gotta say i don't really like the new building, it's like a factory! So light and streamlined, the riders' showers gave me the impression the riders are born on a conveyer belt :p Love the old cabin, that's a place with heart :)

What a legacy!
