53:13 What an incredible shot of Jeremy hitting that jump and pulling a tear off! The camera work and editing were top notch on this video!

[@idontcareaboutyou7757]

back in times i'd had give one ball to watch these great stuff. only magazines were available here.

[@michakav]

Love 2-stroke sound, but there is something special about a pro ringing the neck of a 125.

[@peteh8077]

Watching to see Ashkenazi hit that big downhill booter on his cr500

[@breddary]

Am I the only one who misses 500's and the calm but "loose" style of riding of back then ?

[@rickydicky5889]

Respect to Lamson, he had that 125 PINNED the whole race!

[@AntiPattern328]

What a sick ride by Lammy! Crazy seeing a 125 win the open class.

[@dennismckean8773]

I believe he is the only rider to ever win a moto on a 125

[@whiskeythrottle333]

@@dennismckean8773 and Tortelli was catching him the hole time.......says a little who really was on the throttle. But Lamson was consistent, thats what matters.

[@frankiek2269]

@@dennismckean8773 Yes and no. Villopoto did it in 2007. He won both races he was in. Roczen did it in 2013 with Tomac right on his tail the whole time in the MX2 and Open race. Edit: I know they weren’t the 125’s but they still did it on the “smaller” bikes against the “bigger” bike riders.

Lawson keeping that one-two-five on the pipe!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Yea, Eddy Lawson was the best in the world.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I remember in MXA, they said the Euro's were complaining about it, and Lammy was doing heal clickers over it on his 125. :)

[@billsmith9610]

Emig manned up with team Kawasaki after Honda cried they didn't have a 500 ready. He really did great for something he never raced before. Now Kawasaki said uhm no thanks we can't send our American champs to the race.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Which is why we should not buy a Kawasaki through 2020. If one or more factories do the same thing, this race is going to end. Us consumers have a lot of power here.

[@kelliebrooks9094]

Poor Emig a team guy rides the dinasour KX 500cc for his country...i had a 92 kx 500...its old but actually a good an extremely well behaving motocross bike kinda felt more like a 250 2 smoke then a big clumpsy 500 it wasnt it was 500cc bike champ many years...i really had a good time riding it...i stunned an so was those watching Jeff is one if the best he rides like a robot hardly move his body position may once a year...an go so fast..an looks good doing it...mesmerizing..how he does that with out moving

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Tortelli was super fast and super solid when he was racing 250's outdoors in the states. A hand full of guys would keep RC in sight, and he was one of 3 who had beaten RC outdoors in a moto on the 250. I think just Sebastian, (won several), James, (won several) and Tim Ferry won a moto, (kept RC from 3 perfect national titles.).

[@keyboardwarrior9406]

Thank you!!

Shift 47 for life baby

[@charliecharliecharliecharl8554]

125 racing 500 and winning awesome

[@robertrishel3685]

McGrath showing the world he can ride outdoors👍. And Lammy getting a podium on the 125👍👍; Emig taming the monster, brilliant! And Smeets brought a lawn mower to a proper motocross race🤢🤢🤮

Demaria yamaha sounds like the fastest bike out there

[@justrelax8465]

Always been my favorite race. I never understood why it doesnt attract more people than it does. Look at the Ryder Cup.?!?! I dont get it.

[@dominikzaire3020]

Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

[@MMACHMP]

McGrath was fastest man on the planet in 96 and Lamson was unreal on the 125 that year

[@EarthSurferUSA]

The GOAT SX with 72 wins, no doubt. But in 96, he was the fastest from Lake Havasu because MC was buying the beer. The only real effort he put into the 250 nationals was 95, and he proved he could win it. But overall, it was too much work for him, and he was one of the, if not the first racer, to choose not to race one of the year's series. So he finished his last 2 or 3 years racing SX with RC showing him what dedication was. Of course, RC showed everybody for over a decade, what dedication was.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Or did McGrath win the nationals in 96? Close enough I guess.

[@hyfrsilaz7144]

Fastest? He lost to emig outdoors lmao

[@kylegoodman5196]

​@@hyfrsilaz7144I think he only lost to Emig because of a crash.

[@rickydicky5889]

@@hyfrsilaz7144 Yeah, one race and he climbed back from like 11th to 2nd place in that race and it was close.

What ever happened to Steve Lamson?

What ever happened to Steve Lamson? Let him tell you himself in this 4 month old interview. You're welcome. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZC4oYB4lMlgaJo

[@rickydicky5889]

He competed until '07 and them became the team manager for MDK Honda and then Star Yamaha.

[@drmorcoch9338]

i started riding dirtbikes in 96. even bought mcgrath's book. i tried but i will never be better than the worst riders here.

[@rickydicky5889]

You have to be willing and able to ride the bike absolutely pinned the whole race and hit the jumps that way as well. Like Lamson did here.

[@kellybrown6988]

Belgium making excuses lol

[@epmcdonald4562]

All mad looking from the pits watching a 125 doing heel clickers! Over a jump that scares the hell outta them🤫🤭🙄🤣🤣.... defeated already from interview

[@JokersWild70]

We killed the other countries that year. 😁 Im sorry, but Stefan Everts is not on the level of RC, who people like to compare him to. Seems like Everts could only win when guys like Albertyn, Tortelli, Lamson or Windham werent around. Was he very, very good? Yes. Is he on RC's level? No way. Lamson just killed it, but Tortelli did prove that 1995 hadnt been a fluke by almost catching Steve in the 1st race. McGrath was at his absolute best in riding outdoors in '96 too. This really was like the 1986 "Dream Team" of Bailey, Johnson, and O'Mara

[@epmcdonald4562]

47:57 takes a lot of luck to win MDN?🤣🤣 ... I guess he's talking bout if somebody steals USA bikes they might have a chance to win.!

[@MrKdr500]

USA run production based bikes while most others have factory bikes, comes down to the riders.

[@epmcdonald4562]

Lmao ... n plz... supecross track !? Okkkkkk... he wanted a flat track w couple speed bumps put in? .. there was a few corn fed Mf racing ... most fell over, off balance turning.
