Not many people get to see their legacy live on large while they are alive. It must be an incredible feeling and can imagine seeing this stirred up some emotions for Ricky. Truly amazing, what an absolute amazing experience and opportunity for young riders coming up.

@tatertot7105 Год назад

Ricky.. much respect you completely rewrote the history and the future of the sport of AMA Moto and supercross. You brought the sport to a whole new level of preparation and competition. The hardest working rider I had ever seen, you set your sights on McGrath when you were still on that procircuit kx125, you ran him down and took the crown.

@Sockmonkey5600 Год назад

A lot of people don’t realize just how small RC was back in the day and for him to ride a 2 stroke 250 to the edge is INSANE the amount of conditioning and strength he had to have. RC is great to watch race!

@danielsalas6269 Год назад

Yeah I heard he was like 5'3 or something.

LOL jeff ward smaller and rode 125 25 and 500 2 stroke to the edge, size matters little, skill matters more. Actually on a bike lighter is better if you have skills.

@factsnotfeelingssendit5961 Год назад

I met Ricky about 20 years ago in Madison FL. He was traveling through. Not being a chump but asked him for his autograph. Nice guy glady gave it to me. At the time I was a weekend warrior KX 500. Had various bikes throughout the years. Anyway my longtime mechanic who raced in the seventies sponsored etc was dumbfounded when I said I have something for you. Handed it to him and he held it like the holy grail. At 51 I don't ride anymore but hearing seeing smelling a 2 stroker brings back memories

@TexRobNC 3 месяца назад

It's so cool that a place like this was able to be saved. Sometimes really specialized properties can't find buyers and fall into disrepair.

“We had no air-conditioning in this place, by the way. We wanted to be in the elements.” That harkens back to when Bob Hannah suffered heat stroke at the New Orleans national in 1975. After that he swore off air-conditioning of any kind. No wonder Hannah and Carmichael were so dominant.
