I have to completely agree with You, Dave. Rode 2-stroke all these years and still have one at 49yrs old. I want to enjoy current MX. It's not working for Me, sounds all wrong...

I loved this time in Supercross. And then the RC, JS and Reed battles. They were just such a massive class above the rest.

Is it just me or do these tracks look so much better than the ones we have now of days.

Reed is the man. Must respect because he is still out there racing and enjoying himself. I remember seeing him race as a 15yr old in Australia and it was crazy.

Chad has beaten RC many times including coming from behind, he has a few over Ricky straight up at Daytona also where Ricky did not have the pace at the end to keep up. I think a lot of people forgot how strong Chad was in his peak at the end of races.

He would of done well in 04 against him if RC wasn’t hurt, the first year for the aluminum frame was trash. Way too rigid for the way chad rides, he hated that bike and it cost him. Ricky had the ability to ride about anything no matter how it was set up or what bike it was, that’s rare... reed has and always will be about feel, it has to be perfect, which there’s nothing wrong with that. He’s also beat James straight up, Chad is a bad dude and the amount of title doesn’t show it (kinda like windham), if it wasn’t for RC and then James, chad would of beat McGrath’s record of titles and race wins I believe.

@@TwistLosi I don't think RC was ever beaten at Daytona. I don't think RC ever "did not have the pace at the end to keep up", ever in his 250/450 pro career. For his pro career, RC raced 21 different pro series, (outdoor and SX), and retired with about an 83% win average. Once he had a points lead in any series, he never lost it. Let those 2 facts sink in to correct reality for you. :) But you are right about how fast he was. He was one of the only guys who could challenge RC, and probably challenged him, and beat him more often than anybody else.

@EarthSurferUSA

5 жыл бұрын

Oh yea, he beat RC a few times straight up in SX, but never for a championship, (and never outdoors straight up). Those 2 were really competitive back then, very close SX racing, (Outdoors, RC was gone). They were so close, many races pretty much depended how nasty the whoop sections were. RC was not as good in the whoops as Chad was, but a little better everywhere else. If the track had 2 nasty whoop sections, than the odds were Chad would have a strong shot of winning. I saw RC's greatness back then, and predicted he would win 15 championships, (over double of what had been done before), and he did.

what made this so good was the top 10 guys were WAY faster than the rest, and the top 3 guys were WAY faster than the top 10. It just showed how incredibly fast they were going even at a pro level. Great battles too.

These rewind videos are awesome, holy throwback to the childhood hahaha

back in the day when I saw Motorcycle Racing on dish network and this good ol' stuff was on. Miss the 2 stroke era.

I know it’s good dirt. But does anyone corner like that even now? Chad was a great bowl turn rider. RC was good at any turn. I was always amazed at how fast RC could find a small inside rut, and get in and out “with good momentum!” Doesn’t show much on this track, but he did that well. This shows Chads Bowl ability in a few areas.

There's nothing like this anymore, I think RVP's last supercross reign in the 450s was probably it. Chad made passing the GOAT look so easy.

what a great race, actually chad reed is, i think the one who has got the most second place finishes in his career, i mean, he always had a shortage of a few points to get the championship, so frustrating haha Great rider and great riding, go Straya!
