Bar to Bar 2002 - Supercross

Supercross has never been bigger. From Jeremy McGrath's tenacious drive to make the podium, to Travis Pastrana's seemingly never-ending challenges, David Vuillemin's surprising points finish and Ricky Carmichael's battle to clinch his 2nd Supercross Championship title - Bar to Bar 2002 captures one of the most monumental Supercross seasons in recent history.
Monster Energy® AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, is the premier off-road motorcycle racing circuit in the world, produced inside the world's most elite stadiums. Monster Energy® Supercross tracks are man-made inside the stadium. Some of the sport's marquee names include Ryan Dungey, Ken Roczen, Eli Tomac, Trey Canard, Jason Anderson, Chad Reed, David Millsaps and former supercross greats Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Carmichael. Regarded as the king of action sports, supercross has been described as one of the most physically demanding sports.

so amazing that Travis was board riding Supercross and followed his DREAM of being an entainer. He's one of the Greatest Ever and I don't know if there is anyone who has brought more spectators to Motorcross? Thx T!

[@michaelknabusch6011]

He is the best freestyler of all time and Ricky is the best racer of all time imo

[@leonardwashington710]

The early 2000's was the best

[@fredgarvinMP]

@Boxing 101 Faster than Stewart and Villopoto?

[@kenwalz7231]

Thanks for posting ...that was as fun to watch today as when I watched it in 2002.

[@melissakelly5813]

Pastrana was so good.If he could of only stayed on two wheels or at least one

[@Gucc111]

17:50 Travis Pastrana joking about throwing a double backflip. Crazy.

[@okienationoutdoorstheblake835]

Little did Pastrana know at 18:00. That would actually go on to do a double back flip.

[@trentontessereau1909]

Not just A double backflip, but THE FIRST double backflip in competition. And it was only 4 years after that interview!

[@TheRealMcFIy]

That’s foreshadowing

[@adampeters1493]

braaap! That will always be the most exciting time for the sport. The 4 stroke have never been hypnotizing like the 2 stroke . Still to this day In my mind when I think of mx I hear 2- 4 gear shread to hell then hear it popping, slicing and dicing over the whoops . When the 4 stroke comes to mind I think damn that sucks.

[@anthonyrojas9989]

loved the raw riding from those days

[@EarthSurferUSA]

The tracks were so much better back then. Today's tracks keep everybody the same speed, and that ain't racing.

[@jimhiscott2918]

Regardless of where ever Travis finished we all loved him👍The guy is just a hoot.

[@Purefunkx]

Emig and Ricky shootin the shit was hilarious

[@peterjacobs6290]

Thanks this is the most fun I have had being stuck at home waiting out the King Flu to blow over.

[@Joelontugs]

Travis said double backflip for his first win wtf man that's insane

[@johnnybgood774]

He was already thinkin about it

[@VlogEpicness]

This could have been Larocco's year.

[@Adrian-ne1qn]

... people don't remember villemun or laracco....

true, and he was the bad boy of Supercross loved his style too...

[@fredgarvinMP]

@@Adrian-ne1qn People do remember Vuillemin and Larocco.

[@PrideGoinNyooom]

Man I wish I could have grown up in the 90s even though the early 2000s was very similar

[@lalalakachow316]

damn man that was a hit, legs run over and the bike slammed down on him major respect for these guys, taking hits like that and still getting back up and having that passion to ride man i love it👍

[@monsieuroxyopia8262]

It's amazing how many legends that Mike LaRacco battled and even beat. He deserves to be considered a legend as well. He reeled in RC during the first race. How many people have that accomplishment on their racing resume? (ps. the tracks were much more fun to watch with the higher technical degree & lower speeds) and for an out of control Pastrana to end his racing season by jumping right on him then later blaming LaRacco is ridiculous.

[@zSkiTz]

Reeled in Carmichael who had a broken hand...

[@kennyrmurray]

Great stuff but I always wanted to hear the 2 stokes a little more. Sometimes you hear them but it’s not enough. It’s way better when you can hear them for sure!

[@VictorMantovani100]

Thank you for post this

[@oz2strokeman116]

Vuillemin sure was smooth, used his height to advantage. But RC was just unstoppable.

[@austinjordan1744]

48:34 for goosebumps 👍🏼

[@jimhiscott2918]

Oh my God when the announcer said" With Ricky's visor to the side he's going to look like a snail the rest of the race" I friggen lost it laughing so hard. No worries, he's the Goat!

[@Hassy]

Someone bring back those vibes already. For fucks' sake.

[@arv11-9]

In Costa Rica we followed Ernesto Fonseca's career very closely until he unfortunately suffered an accident in 2006. Fortunately, he has been able to cope with his conditions with a lot of positivism.

[@HooligansMx]

Racing like this was so much more enjoyable to watch dont get me wrong everyone still loves it but itll never be as good as when it was a field of 2 strokes

[@markostarr4062]

14:28, great block pass

[@DarrinR.-pq8md]

Poor Jeremy. If he only knew that his problem was the Bud Light sponsorship. 😅

[@TwistLosi]

I think McGrath would have won more races and had a shot at the title this year if it wasn't for his back issues, RC wasn't as good on the Honda this year as the previous and MC was incredibly fast well before the season started at US Open before he had the back issue.

[@sharkiesgirl8929]

Rc didnt have his suspension set right and couldnt keep pace with these guys. He was riding over is head. He said he shoulda waiitng one more year.

[@Gucc111]

50:13 nice to see Nacen Rang getting a shout out

[@trent5908]

vuillemins like the villain in a movie everyone hates

[@AshtonG2022]

Since there’s no full race replays unless I’m not looking good enough lol. Thank god for the bar to bar series I even put this on my Christmas list a few years ago. Lol. Also at 38:37 I love that #24 is like I’ll just sit here and watch.

Where's Bar to Bar years 2015. 2016, 2017. Someone should put them together

[@scoremxcom]

Who's dressing Carmichael, Nick Canon?

[@ryanbarker4422]

If you race it's mandatory to see a chiropractor it least 3 times a week. To keep your body in alignment , not only to for good body position on the bike.

[@3SIXTYPROD]

It’s funny hearing pastrania joke about flipping

[@Kalus_Saxon]

I guess it wasn't meant for RC to make it 14 in a row, but nobody will ever beat MCs rookie of the year coming in and beatin the hole field race after race.

The real days of moto racing great tracks and riders with personalities tbh I haven’t even followed new motocross just a bunch of lil unknown kids and stretchy tights for gear nowadays.

[@markostarr4062]

@@rah_84 actually the taller you are, the more control you have over the bike... think about. im 6'1 with boots and I would hate to ben any shorter. bikes big enough as it is.

[@rah_84]

marko starr that may be true but all I’m saying is it doesn’t mean that you can’t be successful at riding if you’re shorter: RV, RC, CR, JS, CW not super tall. Shorter people just adjust their techniques.

[@ryanbarker4422]

RC wouldn't have anything for the MC of the early 90s. 125 yes 250 supercross no.

Never seen such a awkward interview than that Emig and Carmichael one. After the kinda racist joke Emig tossed out there, Ricky was out 😂 Another reason why he is the 🐐

[@danw9946]

Awkward convo between Ricky and Emig there.

[@jimhiscott2918]

This year was when everyone evolved except for Jeremy Mg. It wasnt arm pump, well it was because this year the bikes got really powerful and JMcgrath was not known for having strong forarms. The power of the bike was overwhelming for his fairly thin frame. It gave him big problems.

[@laurasplicer712]

Ricky hated travis cause he knew he could.beat him. Viewed him as a part timer.Ricky was racing for paycheck early retirement

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Now lets get back to reality. By this time, nobody in the world could beat RC for a championship. Travis could compete for a few laps, (Travis was one of the few who could match the speed of RC, but not for a entire race), and it was Travis who quit racing to do freestyle,---not RC, who went on to race 21 different pro series's and retire with over a 83% WIN average. RC picked up the pace every time he was challenged, which includes Jeremy McGrath, Chad Reed, James Stewart. Once RC won one big bike championship, nobody else really ever challenged him for a championship. 10.5 years racing pro, (one SX series missed with a hurt knee in 2004), is not a early retirement in this sport. That is reality. I don't know if RC hatred Pastrana, (would have no reason to), and I have no reason to believe that is reality either. Work on figuring out reality on your own, (with everything), or your life will be a mess because of decisions made outside of reality. :)
