1999 Steel City 125cc Moto 2 (Ricky Carmichael's Last 125cc Moto... Until 2001) 

No disagreements there.

Ricky represented Kawasaki well. Although Kawasaki might've let him get away, they did get some good results from James Stewart from his 125 days and early 250/450 days.

Lucky you! Ricky's last dance as a full-time 125cc MX racer and he wins at Delmont with a 1-1 sweep.

@@iamjackhill5897 Ricky was one of those guys that you just couldn't touch unless you got a good start over him. Vohland did win Budds Creek over Ricky, but the only time he really battled with RC was the Glen Helen opener when he passed him, only to crash sometime later.

No arguments from this corner.

He wasn't too hard to miss in '97 running that #70 KX125.

@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGamesu kinda tried to figure out championship game ft mr ricky carmichael n it back then

@@tonydayton909 Oh, Ricky was in the game -- no question about it. I have the game for both Game Boy and Playstation.

I wouldn't necessarily call the Hondas slow -- Kevin Windham won 4 overalls in the 1999 MX season in the 250 class, Ezra Lusk won Southwick, and Sebastien Tortelli won the Glen Helen opener. Sellards, Vohland, and Jason McCormick won motos on the Honda 125s. It should also be noted that Sellards was nursing a shoulder injury before Daytona and was only at the races to lock up 2nd place in the series behind Carmichael.

@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames the 250’s were decent, but Tony blazer has said they weren’t much better than an 85. I suppose teams can make any bike competitive. I raced Brock back in the early 90’s on 60’s and have some footage of him at western reserve sx jumping nearly everything on a 60. Made me want to put my bike up for sale lol. Thank you as always for these uploads 🤙🏻

@@joedillon1806 Hmm. Well, honestly, I never really paid attention to how bikes were handled, having rode only one new bike in my 26 years of riding. You're welcome on the uploads and props to you for racing with Brock Sellards before. Hope you'll see some of the other seasons I've posted in my collection of races.

I was more surprised that Kawi never even made him an offer for 2002, and just as surprised when Honda ignored RC willing to take a pay cut for the 2005 season with James Stewart moving up.

Yep, but not enough for 3rd place overall unfortunately.

That would've been something, but at the same time, we all know what Ricky was doing in 2002 MX -- that possible perfect season.

@@richardm5467 Somehow, I seriously doubt it. It was hard enough to beat Ricky on equal displacement, but I still believe even if James rode the 250F on a different bike (only a Yamaha at that time), he'd still not beat Ricky anyway.

@@richardm5467 Stewart may have better averages outdoors than RC in the 125s, but he couldn't beat Ricky straight up on equal displacement in Motocross in the 450s. Plus, I guarantee that even if 125cc 2-strokes were still around, the end results would be no different.

At this era of racing, you bet that's "pinned" throttle.

Personally, I disagree.

the other half is "I tell ya what"

@@fkhan577 Everyone else has their own go-to phrase or whatnot.

I think when Carmichael got on the 250cc machine (and even the 450cc 4-stroke) was when his "uh" turned into "hah", but that's my opinion.

WTH is this mumbo jumbo???
