Carmichael was such a good champ. He had fire in him when he raced and i sometimes feel like that fire they had back then is a lost art. today ridders are still amazingly fast but when i watched Carmichael especially against Stewart they battled hard really really hard. Maybe Villapoto just makes it look to easy but I miss the back and forth battles. Carmichael is so well spoken and smart too.

@greenbuffalo2854

Well put. You could see the fire in him when he was racing, both on and off of the track. He retired before that flame died out. Villopoto (who is my favorite rider) just doesn't look like he has that fire anymore. Keyword: anymore. He'll settle for a lower finish before going all-out for a win. And maybe thats the smarter thing to do, He's still the best right now, but even in interviews he just seems tired of everything. After Poto retires I feel that the era of great champions will be over. I don't think there will be back-to-back champions in supercross or motocross for atleast a little while. And thats not saying there won't be another era in the future filled with dominance and all time greats, but I don't see the current crop of riders coming up beating any records.

Sam Smith bro, I trained with racing cyclists for 4 years, lost 40 lbs and sold thought I had aids...lol. After I stopped training riding 50 miles every day I put 30 of the pounds back on. Nature has it own set point, a can manipulate it like bodybuilders or cyclists or on near-term but or body will always go to it's set line of a stop training.

great video keep them going!

Legend. Deceiving title but always insightful and entertaining to listen to RC.

Always enjoy listening to an RC interview, Classy and honest. Loved his answer to the young mans question! To the fools who badmouth KTM.....just jealousy cause you can't afford one of the best designed and built off road bikes.....Steel frames because they handle and ride better than aluminum. KTM shows no weight disadvantage to the Japanese bikes and better/usable power. I own 2 now along with 3 Hondas........RC's right....just have fun!

Glad he's with Triumph now

While I prefer Yamaha, KTM is definitely not shit. KTM is the most premium bike out there. Most people don't know that all the pro teams that are sponsored by the big 4 replace their frames roughly every three races. KTM frames last the whole year. Aluminum becomes brittle as it is stretched. Chromoly KTM frames do not and they have deflection built into them.

Ricky, The rivalry I remember most was Ponca City '93 when you and Charlie Bogard were fighting it out in the super-minis. After all the rain and mud you guys where clearing impossible jumps that the 250 pro class wouldn't try. I especially loved the way you two would hit the kicker before the tabletop right down front. That should have slowed you down, but you both did some magic superman fly and got there before the bike, then at the last minute you just reached down and jerked those handle bars as far forward as you could. Every lap you both just cased it, but as long as you could get the front wheel on top it was full throttle all the way. After that race everyone knew that 13 year old RC was faster than Charlie B. I solute you master Carmichael!

Impossible not to like this dude..

Ricky had Great Parents,, A humble man, a true sportsman,, and he proved his point when it mattered. Ricky is also Fans rider..Hats of to the GOAT..

the ones with a broken KTM at a track which people in the comment section seem to say everytime they go to the track wont maintain their bike properly! my bike has not broke down once in the 80 hours of riding we have done

I started on a KTM, I own 2. IN all the time iv owned them they have not had one single problem. At 90 hours on one of them we took it into the shop. The guy told us the bike was sportless and needed nothing. KTM makes good all around bikes for the track and the woods. But there prices are very high witch makes people go away from them. Don't get me wrong Honda, Yamaha, and kawi are all good names. But if you are going hard and have the cash. Put it down on a KTM.

RC is God on a bike. Gotta admire him telling it like it is and speaking from the heart.

Funny to hear RC, one of the greatest risk takers of all time, a guy who rode on the ragged edge for so many years to win so many championships, tell riders who are coming up, to ride within their limits and take a 3rd. I don't the the GOAT did that in a single race.

Whos watching this guy 999lazer when the video is 999k views?

If your looking at any new bikes just pick your color and set up your suspension because they're all the same now. if your looking at 2015-16 bikes.

It doesn't matter what you ride. Suzuki, KTM, Honda, Yamaha, it's all build for the same purpose and all of them will eventually break down. It's what you prefer what counts. If you think KTM has better suspension compared to Honda and you feel more comfortable on a KTM, you should ride one. And if you think Suzuki is the best, no one will hold you back from buying one. Just make sure YOU ride the bike, instead of the other way around.

Damn.. I feel old as hell seeing him retired and talkin about he doesn't race anymore lol.

RC is probably the best ambassadeur for the sport of motocross ever. And when commenting, he see things far ahead than others. His "oh boy" is a certain sign of something coming up. And he is the most successful rider ever. In my opinion only JMB was maybe better but for a too short period of time.

And KTM Is Krap!!!! THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!!

800 raced mill creek in mini's i remember that kid,used to kick ass! got picked up by ktm. i was 30 something in 02-04, but RC is right he never made it. there were others that were good, 00 askew was a good rider. motocross is a small world. still ride a 2 stroke and always will

I've always been partial to Honda, but I've always recognized their lack of quality suspension. They normally are very reliable well built bikes. My new 2014 Honda CRF450X actually had a manufacture defected frozen carburetor screw which I had tapped and replaced. The suspension on this model has received alot of criticism, but I am very happy with it. I've seen KTMs growing up, and my buddy currently owns a 2014 KTM 450SX-F. They have always been very fast reliable bikes. My personal favorite thing about KTMs is their ability to ride smooth at any rpm in any gear. My friends a new rider, and he frequently is in 3rd taking technical slow speed ground and the KTM doesn't even struggle to maintain power. They excel in the woods technically for this reason. I've been to alot of Mike Laffertys races, and he also has shown how the top ends of KTMs always seem to be smoother and more versatile going into corners in various gears.

No one should talk sh*t on Carmichael! Just like no skateboarder should talk sh*t on Tony Hawk. Have respect for the greats who paved the way! RC has accomplished more than any of us ever will.

I think of KTM s as thoroughbred racehorses, high performance but require high end maintenance program.Japanese bikes are more robust 'weekend warrior' rides, they can be abused & hold up ( for a while)

KTM is the best fastest company to ride for. Say that know Ricki

The title made it seem like he hated ktm

People are always trying to find some info about which brand to buy. Here is the facts. Bikes today are designed by very sophisticated engineers and software programs that pretty much deliver amazing bikes period. The difference between one brand vs another is almost not important anymore for a novice. That being said you cant look to pro's for advice. Yes they are sponsored but truly amazing/great riders can do it on anything. Most of the bikes you see these guys ride are not even close to a factory bike anyways so why even compare. Some bikes have a little more power, balance, braking whatever but the average rider can't push those limits to even matter so why obsess. its Stupid. A bike that still stands out above the rest is a KX500 two stoke. If you want something amazing and mind blowing find one of those. That's different. That's worth comparing. Doesn't matter what you buy now. Just pick your favorite color and go have fun.

GOAT that's all...

I use to not ride KTM because they were so darn expensive.. now all of them are.. so I would ride one. for sure.. if you bought it for me..
