Who ever put this together was genius. Respect to all the great ones in this . It was funny that RC had to ask how it sounded
Dirtshark
That was one of my favorite videos of 2022!!!
Thanks Ricky, Mitch, Bones …👍👍👍
He got back in shape man fuck who put it together
@@doctauglyd9861 maybe planning a dungey in 23😂
Please forgive me for asking but......who is the guy in the wheelchair and.....what happened to cause him to be in a wheelchair? I hope I'm not asking an insensitive question....
Thank You so much for not putting music over that wonderful exhaust note! Awesome to see that RC still Rips!
We don't need music in dirt bike videos, perioud..
I think there was some 'relaxing' outgoing tune playing,
but we all come to see and hear the bikes.
Hey, if the garbage kids listen to today is music,---so is a ripping 2-stroke.
In fact, it takes much more talent to play a 2-stroke compared to what is called music today. :)
3 things we miss the most…
1. Ricky racing
2. The sound of a 2 stroke
3. Ricky racing
You forgot MC, Lusk, Tortelli and Everts...the good ol days.
Miss js7 more then any of it
@@MyName-yl2ncat his peak
You forgot a few legends Eigo Sato, mike sinq probably one of the best free riders ever🤘
Have another LIKE!
So awesome to see Mitch still doing what he loves and being involved in MX. These guys are all rock stars!!!
1000% agree…
كككككححح
He's not even that old... McGrath is still doing it too, he just did a race recently with other known riders
Guys, Here is our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
What a nostalgic badass sound. Nailed this one boys!!
AND IT STILL SHOULD BE THIS WAY. CUT OUT CLASSES AND IT'S NOT NEAR AS FUN TO GO WATCH LIVE ANYMORE. NO SMELL LIKE REAL MOTOCROSS BACK IN THE DAY. AND RICKY COULD SEMI UNRETIRE AND STILL SMOKE THE BEST OUT THERE IF HE PUT HIS HEART IN IT. GOAT FOREVER. ANYONE THAT EVER WAS REALY INTO MOTOCROSS AND NEW WHAT THEY TALKING ABOUT KNOWS THIS. HE WAS THE BEST IN HIS LAST AMATUER YEARS. THAN RVERBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD WHO WERE PROS ALREADY. 1ST YEAR AS PRO UNTIL HIS LAST NEVER LOST AN OUTDOOR TITLE. WAKE UP PP PEOPLE CAUSE HEIRLINGS AINT SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO CARMICHAEL. I SAID IT CAUSE I NO, NO NO NO.WHO THE BEST OF ALL TIME IS
Man that gave me chills. Seein rc on a 125 absolutely screaming that thing. Brought back memories. 🙌🏻
You could tell RC was wringing all the horsepower out of that 125 he could.
It sounds a lot faster than it is.
No flat spots no blubbering. Never seen a 125 go up Mt. St. Helen so quick. Mitch is an artist.
Dude. Honestly Ive never seen anyone go down it that quick though. Im on the brakes from the top. He was PINNED 😎
@@straightnobraker4677 that thought crossed my mind too. I was actually surprised when he entered the turn that it was so silent. like...wut? he's braking? when did that happen? 😄 A pro on a 125cc 2-stroke is just a marvelous sound. Always pinned. Always in the meat of the power band. just mocking everyone else who gets on the bike. 🤪
All is right in the world here. Am I the only one that is blown away by how fast he looked still? Man, talk about a nostalgia trip. I was 7 years old when I got into racing and this basically transported me back to that time. I'd like to hear what RC himself thought about doing this? Now we just need to figure out a way to get Stewart to dust off the Chevy Trucks 125 in his studio and make a part 2
Dam straight, I couldn't help but thinking that James needs/has to...............MUST! For the love of GOD..............do something similar!!! Actually I just dusted off my 04' also and so this vid is very specially motivating.............I made a vid of my rig as I was getting it ready just the other day and I ride on the morrow! Haven't ridden it in a year.
This is the kind of content we want to see! "We" being the generation that experienced two strokes be replaced by 4-strokes. OUTSTANDING work on this video. Great video quality which does the details of the bike, helmet and gear justice. The sound of the two stroke engine in-sync with the video is best. No music to interrupt the sound of the bike - yay! ... So what will Mitch hire Ricky for? Haha
They need to add a 2 stroke event or supercross. make them kids learn
@Jimmie Hoebob what word can we use that doesn’t hurt your feelings?
@@motoing32 woke
"You know I only like the good shit" - ricky said it best
@@stevenchristiansen289 rffeze
this was absolutely incredible. hopefully this was just the teaser to a full length
How can you not love 2 strokes!
Ricky was an absolute monster on a 125. I got to watch him live at Buds Creek in '97 and obviously watched him dominate until he retired. So glad he's still around and involved heavily in the sport that he re-invented. GOAT!
Blast from the past! The man can still rip! 🤙🏻
the relationship between ricky and mitch is a special one, obviously. you can see the old tension between them when talking about his old carburetor
Wow great job guys! I saw Ricky many times at Washougal on the 125! I built a 94 KX125 Splitfire replica. Should have never sold it. I can't believe how fast RC still is!
1:27 I love that “I’m not wearing this” “Fox is paying, I’m staying” only RC can talk to Mitch Payton like that & still get a job offer afterwards. 😂
What Bones said was probably true too, Mitch would re hire and they’d probably win a championship again, almost a thought in RCs mind, almost, it would be even sicker than Dungeys return to see the GOAT come back and school the young guns, I bet the crowds would triple as well if he rode that bike, the world and internet would go mental….
Mitch has his problems talking with people too. I tried to help him, but that is why he is out of stock with 2-stroke pipes. He treated a good friend of mine who could have made them for him with his state of the art shop, like he was not worth talking to. He can stay out of stock as long as he wants if he does not know how to talk with people.
That down hill on the gas into the left hander was insane.
my favorite part
@@cjsmreks I hate that hill. especially when it gets gnarly braking bumps. Makes me feel like I shouldn't be riding, everytime.
@@stickythrottle5259 😀😀
It's a 125.. you have to stay pinned like a chainsaw or it doesn't move.. nothing special
I could do that. And crash. And probably die. Cool RC wring out that smoker.
Ricky is looking fit and healthy these days!!
Yeah. He was getting tubby last time I saw him.
Back on two wheels where he belongs. Not in a NASCAR or WRC ride. (Although he was pretty badass there too)
RC is also heavily involved in the development and more particularly testing of the new incoming Triumph MX machines so he had to lay off the beer & Burger King….
@@russellbaker9459 makes me wonder if the new truimph is gonna handle like a kx125 😄
He shouldn't have retired so early. He is still fast and very likable. GOAT !
I love that Triumph was chill enough to let this video happen.
RC, Mitch and Bones…….just awesome…how much talent in this video……just the best days……
When they drove up, Glen Helen bowed it's head & dropped to a knee.
These men are legends in this sport. I'm honored to know all three of them. If you are young, or not, and unfamiliar with their achievements and contributions to Motocross, Supercross, and Off-Road Racing, I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that in their absence the bike you ride/race off-road today would be very different.
3 Unicorns right there, would be hard to find another 3 who have contributed so much to modern mx
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a LONG time. Thank you!
such a pleasure watching him step back on one of these things. thanks for putting this out.
He rides that so perfectly. Shifting is on point. You see most of today's 4-stroke guys get on a smoker and really not keep it in the meat like Ricky does. Perfection right here:-)
Wow !!!! I don't think a 125 can be tuned any better. That's next level .
That's what I was thinking. Bike sounded crisp and just ripping.
Next level that was 24 years ago. Of course it could be tuned better. It runs great, but everything can be improved. "I don't think it can be tuned better" was always said before the next bike that was tuned better. :)
So much legend in one video .
Cool to show the AXO gear even though he didn't ride it. That was awesome
Watching RC get back on a KX 125 after all the years gone by brought a smile to my face. He really is The GOAT, and obviously, still fast as hell!!! He still looks like he'd hand out ass whuppins to today's riders. I never imagined when the '97 season started that that short, pudgy kid would go on to dominate like he did. He's the best
My Hero's have always rode 2strokes. Thanks Mitch for this video, its killer.
Thank dirtshark
Him looking at the drone down the start melted me into the like buttons front door to say hello
Dirt shark + The Man That Walks on Water + The GOAT + Bonez = let's get ripped!!!
Flipping awesome
Must rewind and a watch over and over, like going back to the glory days of real racing.
LOVE THIS! What an awesome era in motocross. The commentary was as good as the riding. Brought me right back. Best thing you’ll see all day.
Big thanks to all of you for making this!
I love this. Brought me back to the old days. Really made me feel everything from watching RC back in the day to feeling what I felt when I raced back then too. Thanks!
Man I never thought I’d see a video of rc on a kx125 again. So badass!
Ricky told me personally in 06 at Budds Creek that he was a Coors Light man.....I'll never forget it
I remember getting on track with RC at Dade City in the late 80’s for a practice session, after watching him ride I knew immediately that MX was going to be a hobby for me! 😂
Man, this is without a doubt the best video on TH-cam for motocross fans!! Bravo!
Oh Boy, that is definitely my top MX VIDEO of THE YEAR! 😍 Thanks to all who was involved in that! Kudos from germany! 🙂
I was a kid when I saw RC and Stewart on kawasaky and I had a lot of magazine clippings in my notebooks at school! Now i am a grown man with family and a father and seeing the GOAT on a kx 125 again makes me feel the sweetness and nostalgic of that good old days when me and my friends dream'd about having our firts bikes! cheers to that 🍻
Truly is a beautiful sight seeing Ricky pinning the 2smokers!
nothing like the sound of a screaming 125 to start the week off right.
That PC jersey was absolutely killer! I’ll take it off your hands Mitch. 😂 Fox aren’t paying me
He's absolutely one with the machine....he was flat out, not a hiccup....amazing - and thank you to the film crew for capturing all of that perfectly. Wow - way to go.
Not really an RC fan but he is truly the GOAT of motocross. In Supercross, I'm still going with Jeremy. Overall though, Carmichael is the best ever. No questions about it.
I think the GOAT debate may never be settled between Ricky and Stefan. I can also throw a spanner here... Jeffrey should be in that discussion as well.
@@juanpablohinestrosa7929 Hmmm---I don't think so. RC retired with over a 83% win average in 10.5 seasons as a pro. Two of the big bike series, he won all 24 motos, and missed a 3rd perfect season by one moto. RC had a different motivation that he rest of us, and I figured it out in an interview (Whiskey throttle show), when he said, "I was terrified to lose, scared to death. I know no sport psychologist would say that is a good thing, but that is the way I was.". He was scared to lose, like we were sacred to crash on a big triple we have never cleared yet. What kind of environment would there have to be in grade school to make RC terrified to lose?
He as a short, fat, red headed ginger kid,--and they all got bullied. He got bullied in school until he started winning amateur championships, and the bullying stopped.
School bullying motivated RC to be the GOAT of MX. Isn't that ironic? Should we tell the teacher about it? :)
Bring that bike and RC to foxhills in England next year for the VMXDN to race against Brownie and RV!
I watched with a big 5 minutes and 20 seconds smile in my face! 😍
He clearly still has it. I vividly remember one of his first SX’s with Mitch. He was whipping that bike SO hard that drain plug was clearly visible for quite a way up in the stands at Pontiac. This video was a real pleasure. I get the feeling it was pretty special for Mitch and RC as well👍
The greatest of all time. Love watching him rip it up
On the gas down Mt. St Helens. That bike sounded so amazing.
This was so well put together…….thank you guys ! The GOAT and his GOATIES, Mitch, Bones and the PC Crew. All legends……… I’m so glad I got to witness RC rise from mini to master….
Me too👍
👍
I have goose bumps on my arms and tears in my eyes. I love this! LONG LIVE 2 STROKES!!!!!!!!!! And RC of course!!!!!!!!!
💯
Just like old times. Beers at the end of a session. Awesome days.
THAT was cool......I was fortunate to see RC in his 125 days. Thank you!
Awesome. The world is almost whole!! Perfect Mitch........ next we NEED TO HEAR the 250!! Thanks PC, RC and Triumph!!
"If Fox is payin' ...I'm stayn'"
🤣
Incredible video!! Script was awesome, camerawork was amazing, and of course RC's riding was badass!
Love seeing RC ride. Dude still has the touch. Awesome talent.
That era of Fox gear was the best
Always enjoy hearing Mitch talk, dude is so smart.
Holy crap! I am going to put this on repeat and listen to it all day long! It sounds soooo good!
Awesome thank you Mitch and bones RC bring back 2 strokes and real racing
please put together a nostalgic race between the top guys from the 90s and early 2000s, on some 125s or 250s. most can probably still shred and I'd pay per view the shit out of that
What a wonderful sound. Well done guys
back in the 90s and early 2000s Ricky was the best.
2022 still the best
Even in a million years 4 strokes and ebikes will never sound this sweet.
Love it!!! I would kill to see James one a 125 again
@dirtshark @monsterenergy Next video in development??
@motoing32 No one will be able to get James on a bike again, he's back around the sport but he's done with riding... it's a shame cause with his name and someone like 'DirtShark' filming and doing the edits, he could make a career just off having fun on a bike and doing 1 or 2 freeride videos in the hills each year.
Ricky is the goat, no doubt. He kept that 125 in the powerband every second without any problem. Amazing rider.
Yeah that was nuts
Damn, that came out of nowhere, and it's perfect. Thank you.
Best soundtrack ever 👌🏼 Ricky the GOAT
WHAT A FREAKING LEGEND!!!!!
The amount of nostalgia in this video is unreal
The GOAT can still rip it hard! Would love to see him line up with that bike. Bet he would smoke half the field during a 10-15 min moto!
God damn this dated me right quick. Worked with Mitch, Bones, Jim Perry ETC back in the late 90's for close to 8 years at PC. Moved on to other projects. Haven't seen those guys since......Crazy how time flies.
I grew up riding BMX based off of his skill set.. forever my all time Rider!!
...looks like a smooth BMX track, yes.
What a beautiful bike and to the GOAT good to see you riding!
Amazing video, definitely love to see a classic old 2 stoke like this. He wasn't lying when he said absolutely no bog
Thank u Monster, Dirt Shark, Pro Circuit, Fox, Kawi, Mitch, Bones and RC. That took me back to high school. It may not be the fastest, but that one-two-five sounds oooh sooo good.
Sounds freakin awesome ! That shit never gets old !!!
Yes, yes and a million more times YES!!
Fantastic video!
I remember seeing Ricky on a mini. I've followed him through his whole career. This was a great idea, it was awesome seeing him on a 125 again.
Pure genius putting the winning crew back together.
That put a huge smile on my face. Thank you.
That was an awesome video love for rc and the green dirt bike!
Brought a tear to my eye to see Ricky, Mitch and Bones working together again. Need to do this for the Vmxon :)
So awesome to see RC pinning it!
It was absolutely astounding to see him push it like a beast back when he was the dominating pro champ.
I was happy when I saw videos of him looking a little chubby and enjoying life after he "retired". Least he deserves if you ask me...
Even happier to seem him now having lost the fat and still keeping it absolutely pinned.
Legend!!
I'm pretty sure that when high level activitys athletes retire they gain weight due to reduced intense workouts. Nice comeback Ricky.
Tears in my eyes. Thank you so much to the ones involved.
Just imagine for a second .. a peak 125 Ricky vs a peak 125 James
Peak Carmichael compared with today's riders?
James was fast. But fast does not win Championships. Carmichael was not always the fastest. He was always out thinking the competition. He was always riding for the points 👉 and that's how you get titles.
My girlfriend walked in on me watching this and made fun of the fact that my arms are covered in goosebumps.
This video could have easily been 3x longer of him just riding with that premium sound of 2 stroke heaven with no music over it ❤
Class Act all over. 2:27 was the look of "I know I'm slow, but it is the best sound in all dirt bikes"
Sounds so great especially compared to the 4 stokes which just sound like giant fart machines. Nice to see the GOAT reminisce.
I remember like it was yesterday watching Jeremy McGrath dominating & all of the sudden you see this young cat Ricky Carmichael tearing it up in the 125s. Greatest era of racing hands down! 🤟💨🔥
That was awesome!! Love watching RC ride again!! Especially on a kx125!!!
Best video I’ve seen in a long long time. I was smiling the entire time, thinking back to childhood when I was watching that split fire 125 smoke the field
Well this is art, nothing more to say!
What a legend!!!
The camera angle and the no music sound of the engine is amazing.
TH-camrs can learn a he'll of alot from this.
All you guys are amazing.
Wow! Ricky still got it and that bike is gorgeous!!
Badass edit with the GOAT. Also, the legend, Mitch Payton’s shirt was fuckin RAD! lol
It would be awesome to see RC and MC come out and rip at the Red Bull Rhythm.
Damn Ricky is looking like he could get back on the track. What a great video!
That was the sickest RC video post racing ever! Mitch loves this stuff he’s a legend…
