I remember when supercross and dirtbikes were the ultimate trend where I live back in 2006. I was in 2nd grade at the time, and our school had the blacktop, the soccer field, the jungle gym and swings. And behind all of it was this area with just dirt and sand. I would walk over there and see like 10 kids playing with those little toy dirtbikes on the little jumps and whoops, etc. I would bring my toy dirtbikes, and like 5 bottles of water, and I would make sick tracks. And we would play until the bell rang. Man, I miss those times, 2nd grade was 🔥🔥🔥

Is the next step flowers and kissing? Yea, it is nice they show respect,---but the days when they were not so "girl-friendy", were more like John Wayne. They did not get points for loving their competition. It was a battle between them, and it was great. I guess there are 2 ways mainly to look at it. Like a man, or like a girlfriend. :)

What they didn’t show was Daytona, where Reed showed up with the separated shoulder he had suffered in a practice crash earlier in the week, which was also the same week that Fonseca was sadly paralyzed in a practice crash of his own, Stewart got the hole shot and was checking out in the main until he yard-saled over a berm and Carmichael went on to win the race, making it 3 wins in a row, and Reed touched out the whole night to finish 2nd.👍👍

[@mccowan06]

Daytona didn't count for points that year.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Junior high school Bullying on RC made him the GOAT. Not kidding. Every fat, short, ginger kid got picked on in the entire nation of grade school. He got respect finally when he got good at MX, and that made him "scared to lose" (Interview on the whiskey throttle show), like we were scared to crash. Now that is some motivation.

[@willh1082]

James bike looks so strange being a true factory bike, no other sponsors, just kawasaki, awesome

[@EarthSurferUSA]

He is not wearing he gear for free. Why would you not want sponsors? Sue your school. Believe me, when you start working jobs you probably won't like, you may want to start your own business, for opportunity ya see. We have been taught by marx. Quit bashing business. Quit basing your own opportunity,---or marx will make sure you retire in poverty. I promise. I see the bastards. :) The free enterprise system was created by free people, (but it is being stolen from us,---by marx), and that is why our great grand parents moved here----for opportunity with their own minds. I am passionate about this, so I don't mean to be over bearing. But the USA has gone from being taught, "You are free in this country, and you can grow up to be what ever you want to be, (which meant we have a brain in our head and a free enterprise system to use it in). Today, we are taught "You are free in this country to be what ever government approves.". Big difference. It is the difference between individual liberty protected by law, vs communism. You need to demand your free market back, and a good education back, (but you can do the 2nd part yourself too). This was a great series. You know MX would not exist with out a free market right? It did not start in communist china. Nothing much ever did. We, (our politicians), just gave them what we built. That sure is not moral.

[@willh1082]

@@EarthSurferUSA bro, calm your capitalism boner, I'm a free market lover as well, my comment had nothing to do with communism, just the fact that a factory had the financial ability to field a full team and have nothing but their own name on the bike which you won't see anymore in today's era being that the money isn't there like it used to.... calm down haha

I feel like MC was the beginning of showing you could be that dominant. He only really did that in supercross whereas RC dominated indoor and outdoor. But, yeah, you can think MC retired because of RC... I’m just saying MC went on a run like no one had done before and did it longer than anyone had done before. In this season MC was racing part time for fun and even talked about getting out of the way of the top guys so he didn’t interfere with the results because he wasn’t racing all the races.

RC was on a 2 stroke in 05 indoor and then a 4 stroke in the outdoor and here in 06 he is on a 4 stroke again and so is Stewart..did everyone have to ride 4 strokes at this point???

[@EarthSurferUSA]

No, they did not "have to". But the 4-strokes were getting hard for them to beat, so they had to switch. It took 8 years from 1998 to 2006 for the starting line to turn to all 4-strokes (Pretty much. Some still ride a 2-stroke today), with RC and James being pretty much the last to switch. I remember RC announcing that he was switching, and he hesitantly said "4-strokes are the future.". But I read that differently than most others. When there is EPA force involved, RC could tell what the future is. But if it were true free enterprise, nobody would know what the future would bring, because it would be up to us and our competitive minds. Part of the force used was to make sure the 4-strokes made more power than the 2-strokes, (and the sport got more dangerous as a result), so they eventually had to switch if they wanted to be competitive. I will stick with my 2-stroke. :)
