Hard to believe this was almost 10 years ago. Feels just like yesterday I was watching this season. Great year and sad to see it was basically James and Chads last real great season. Same with Canard.
I really feel like RV gets overlooked a lot of the time. People always mention Ricky, James, and Dungey. I feel like if RV would have made a team switch or changed his program up he would have been in the sport at least another 2 years and probably more championships and race wins. But to win 4 straight sx titles and dealing with a lot of major injuries took it out of him.
Yeah I feel like Dungey was only successful because RV retired. It took Dungey 5 races to get going and win races after RV left and beat the new contenders with consistency. RV is underrated.
Career chamionship results...
2006 rookie year - 3rd Sx, 1st Mx
2007 - 1st Sx, 1st Mx

2014 - 1st Sx
One of the best there's ever been, no doubt about it!
Bro, who the fuck mentions Dungey over RV?😂 RV dominated Dungey his whole career.
To me RV2 is the most dominant of them all. He legit dominated everything when he didnt get injured. Not to say how he swept the whole Des nations on a 250 that year. Truly amazing!
@@Carpfishing4400 Dude legit won everything when not injured! He was amazing fluent and crazy fast to watch! My all time fav rider for sure :)
I’ll never forget when he got interviewed after he won and said “ I’m just glad it’s over”. I looked at my dad and said “he’s done”
The best years of Supercross. Villo, the best Supercross champ, and my favorite as far as I’m concerned.
I remember watching RV literally dominate the whole field. If you bet against him you were losing money he was the reason I bought my 2014 KX 450. Definitely cannot ride it like him. He is a legend amongst some of the best.
Can we just take a second and appreciate that these races were on FOX
Not damn peacock
RV is my favorite rider of all time. Overlooked because he retired in his prime with years left in the tank. He loved racing but said racing wasn't everything to him. That's why I loved this guy. RV repping the PNW background. Now it's Levi Kitchens turn!
He wasn’t going to last much longer in the sport. His knee was almost shot, plus he only did the sport because his dad pretty much forced him into it. I can’t imagine how good he would’ve been if he actually loved the sport.
One of the best at time 💯
I believe he said in an interview he regrets not switching teams to change it up at the end of his career to prolong it. I believe he would have 3 more championships if he did bc the only competition was Dungy
Lol RV had some of the toughest competition in the sports history. RC on the other hand had no competition.
@@Ty_ThailandStewart, Reed, McGrath. Ain’t no way you just said RC didn’t have competition 💀
@@theultraj1634 lmao mcgrath whooped him for 3 years still and was pretty much done at that point. Stewart was on a 2 stroke most of that time. Reed was much better 2011-2014 than any other point of his career. Same with Stewart i know stewart won alot before that especially but he didn't have much competition either until 2011. RV is the real goat just had a short career and btw i hated RV when he was racing.
@@Ty_Thailand LMAOO I’m not gonna discuss, the discussion here is not if McGrath whooped him or not which is a lie because RC took the championship from him. The discussion here is that he had the best competition ever, and you’re wrong, the best Reed was in the 2000s same with Bubba where he was named “fastest man ever” (which he is) you’re just showing you’re lack of knowledge with your comment. Let me remind you that Reed and Stewart only 2 championships are in the 2000s. So don’t even try saying that their best were in the early 2010s where most of the times they were injured. Also the greatest rivalry in supercross will ever be RC vs Reed vs Bubba. RV is one of the greatest and was my favorite at the time, but don’t come up saying that RC didn’t have competition because it’s a completely lie and you will look as someone with 0 knowledge.
@@Ty_Thailand did I just read Stewart didn’t have competition till 2011? 💀 na I’m out 💀💀💀 educate yourself.
these were the best days of supercross. the rv era was amazing.so many legends sharing the track, and the track designs were leaps and bounds better back then.
I feel like Dungey was the best villain to RV’s domination. Both of them were fast and honest fellas. Villopoto is my GOAT and always will.
Favorite rider of all time great great champion
He is the reason why i love ama sx and mx.
If RV raced longer there is zero doubt in my mind that he finishes his career as the GOAT
Villopoto "The Viper" 🐐
Awesome video man. Keep them coming.
RV was unquestionably the most dominant rider I ever saw race, the unheralded goat to me .
Villopoto He was unstoppable in mx and sx
RV will always be on top as the best rider in my book even carmichael said in and interview that if he had to pick someone whom he wouldnt want to have to race against for a whole season he named RV also said that guy would just beat and break you down as the laps went by now thats saying something
man i miss when rv raced, racing was so mutch better back then
2024 SX should be pretty epic. There's a LOT of talented riders in the 450 class
Any videos or something out there, where someone has put all the champions together and worked out their average finishes to race starts? I wonder what that leader board would look like.
RV is definitely not mentioned enough.
I remember hearing Tomac had the most amount of supercross wins before he won a title.
Yea Tomac has a lot of wins with little championships and RV has a lot of championships with not as much wins if that makes sense. Tomac I believe was robbed of a championship the one year by Ktm and musquin, whereas RV was fast and usually in a good position points wise.
I was at MetLife when he won the 🏆
How do we get these race replays? I would like to watch the full length version of some of these races
new to youtube?
my goat forever
i feel like reed could've been a legitimate contender for the whole season if not for that crash at san diego which took him out of the championship hunt
RV is one of the best, same league as james ricky and MC
Mini GOAT? Hes the GOAT GOAT
He’s way f’n legit!!!🏆🏆🏆🏆🏁👏👏👏👏👏💪🏼💪🏼💯💯💯💯
Out preformed James Stewart and still gets overlooked 😒
Because he didn't outperform Stew
and…….Dungey , as good as he was….did not start to really win until RV stopped ….. RV does mot get the credit he clearly deserves
2014 was actually a good year for Stewart. He had 5 main wins and RV had 7. Stewart did end up getting into that whole debacle with FIM that year but I don’t think you could say RV was the fastest guy because Stewart was really fast that year. RV and Stewart both dominated that year.
Last year we saw stew really stewing
100%
2013 Toronto was the best race of all time in my opinion
Do you mean 2014 where Stewart went from 17th to 1st? Or what happened in 2013 at Toronto? I was at both but can only remember 2014
@@jakeklassen3702 which ever one he went from 17th to first
@@JustEdit22 that was 2014. That was a great race! The crowd was cheering him on like crazy!
Rv one of my top 3 riders with tomac and Stewart. But if u want to go back some years lol Jeff ward was my favorite
Thought Chad Reed was gonna go close to winning the championship that year before crashing
To me it's always been Ricky, Stewart and RV next person on that list is Tomac, Dungey in my mind never made the list
I was there at metlife was ky 1st time and it was raining Stewart fell dnf Ryan finished 1st and Justin Bogle won the 250 east
he led every lap in those last 4 main events
Villo is the goat imo because he didnt get to race bums. Certainly would have been if he raced 2 or 3 more seasons
The Last of the greats. Tomac has had pace but its not the same as Ricky, Stewart and RV
such a good era of the sport
its crazy how close brayton was to winning in phoenix in 2014 and it took him all the way until daytona for his only win. I forget which year but not too long ago.
2018. That race was crazy with the amount of crashes, especially for Musquin
@@user-cq9qf3nl4w brayton won in 2018? damn time flies
@@ryohonda fr lol that was 6 years ago. I can't even comprehend that!
like another comment said 10 years ago we were watching the golden age of supercross and it doesnt even seem like that long ago. We had the luxury of seeing dudes like villo, dunge, stew, reed, canard, roczen, barcia. hell even the 250 lites class was nuts those years. remember nico izzi, pourcel, hill, jlaw, hansen, i remember the lites heats were fuckin crazy dudes were bashing eachother every lap hansen would clean out lappers in the lead lmao. every race had beef too. wish i knew how good we had it, not that the racing now is terrible but it used to be stacked in both classes.@@user-cq9qf3nl4w
How would he go against Jet Lawrence!??
I don’t believe you can compare the two guys. Styles have changed, bikes and tracks. I would love to know this as well but I don’t think it would be fair. The guys are going faster now days. So I guess with that being said Jett would probably be faster. I guess you could compare lap times on motocross tracks that they have both ridden.
Js suspension robbed us
I feel like a lot people forget that he didnt just phase out racing or retire or anything like that. He went to gp series and didnt do anywhere close to what everyone thought he would. Not that he isnt one of the baddest dudes to throw their leg over a bike, but i do think it made people look at rv deferent. Especially since he was in his sx prime and wasnt as good in mx and ending his career in the process.
ARE YOU CRAZY , THE THAT KID WON EVERY THING HE WAS HEALTHY FOR, HES THE GOAT , CARMICHAEL EVEN SAID THATS ONE GUY HE DID NOT WANT TO GO AGAINST, GPS ARE RAN TOTALLY DIFF, DIFF TYPE TRAINING
AND NOT FOR NOTHING 2013 MX450 HE SMOKED EVERYONE INSANELY!
What are you talking about? He won a race and was 4th in points when he got hurt at the 4th round of the championship. Let me remind you that the eventual champion of the 2015 MXGP season, Romain Febvre, was 7th in points when Villopoto got hurt.
need a bar to bar 2023 Mx 250 class and 450
This next spring.
Only races 6 years in the 450 class. You compare his career to the first 6 years of any other supercross legend and only Jeremy McGrath has more titles and wins. Carmichael has the same titles but less wins. Nobody else is close.
good point.
