@@HUNT3R737 In my experienced estimation, they were making high 40's, ---48hp for example. They should be running with the 250cc 4-strokes today because they make about the same hp now. But we keep losing affordable choices as time goes on.

The 2 stroke made for better racing , The tracks broke down differently and seem to flow better. The four strokes have become boring to watch in my opinion.

I love what a truly good sport Jeremy was even in defeat. Ricky changed the sport. JM was strait talent but when RC came along he raised the bar that you had to have talent and fitness.
@backwithabang58423 жыл бұрын
Not exactly true, Ricky was trying to beat mcgrath in 1999 and 2000 and only got 1 win. Mcgrath was 30 years in 2001, so his time was pretty much over. He was able to beat ricky for 2 years while he was nearly 30. Mcgrath was just so much better in supercross than RC.

I agree completely. They both raced each other very clean, which I don’t think you would see today in our current ranks. Nothing against anyone. The level of intensity has risen to the level of necessity.

@@backwithabang5842 It took RC 2 years to figure out that he just wasn't strong enough to beat the king of Sx so he hired Alden Baker and the rest is history. RC took it to a level Jeremy could never match speed wise. JM didn't get slower in 2001. He just couldn't go any faster for an entire race. He never had the fitness RC showed up with. This is why RC is considered the GOAT. RC changed the sport to what it is today. Now everyone has a trainer and a no BS program. Jeremey was the end of a talent beats grit era 2 races later. I get it. Your a JM fan and I respect it but I agree to disagree. At 25 that RC would have done the same. And if not for RC, Stewart would have took him down anyways

8:49 yes mcgrath lost the race but dude look at the way he approaches that triple. lifts his front tire off the ground, wheelies over that roller section and scrubs a 70 foot triple on a 250 2 stroke. that takes some serious skill

Only James Scrubbed in the 2-stroke days, and not many really do it today. I have seen a few guys today do pretty darn good ones, (where you actually fly faster, and lower), but it is a hairy move, and it is harder to do it on a 4-stroke. Go see some vid of James on his 125, and you see it done to the max. There is a vid on YT with James, retired, talking about how hairy it was, and he really did not like doing it. "I figured it out, out of necessity." when he was an amateur.

@@EarthSurferUSA lmao mcgrath had a bmx background and scrubbed jumps on a bmx bike to stay lower than others. if you watch videos from the honda era of mcgrath you can see this. stewart perfected the scrub, he did not invent it. people in the 80s were actually using the concept of staying lower off jumps while increasing speed

how is that passive at all? he said ricky was riding relaxed and able to control his squirrely mistakes. sounds to me like mc gave ricky props for being able to keep it on 2 wheels while riding on the edge. he literally just said ricky was riding more relaxed and better than i was.
