Ricky Carmichael takes trip down memory lane with tour of 'Goat Farm' | Motorsports on NBC

[@Dpezz41]

It's so cool seeing just how proud Ricky is of how and what the place turned into. You can see just how much it still means to him.

[@KENKANIFF666]

my exact thought, that little proud grin at the end, like man this is cool.

[@MRALEX9870]

@ 6:19 you can tell hes Reliving Soo many memories of him just being a Young kid trying to make a name for himself he's reminiscing of the countless Days and months that he practiced to perfect his racing style

[@wirefeed3419]

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.

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.

[@Rubeless]

Took it and never lost it, retired on top and could have done more.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

you young guys never saw the true greats. Jeff ward Darryl Hannah etc etc many before ricky were great. Ricky was good very good but goat NOT in his own dreams. he beat up on lesser guys for most yrs

So awesome you can tell Ricky is proud. Also props to star to becoming the new pro circuit type team

[@scott.baierscott2198]

With out ap star wouldn't of became a pro team without the people's champion, they would still be a no name team.

[@spice3767]

I could listen to RC all day long…what an incredible rider and person

[@cameronturner7077]

Agreed, Ricky's probably one of the most beloved competitors the sport will ever see. On a side note I'd love to sit down with him and our acoustic guitars and do a little country jam session. I've been pickin & singin all my life, not all that great but I love to hit that country twang. You know a dream is like a river? It really is 🤷‍♂️ It's ever changin as it flows. Just ask Ricky, he knows 👍 God bless Jesus saves

[@Sockmonkey5600]

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]

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

[@JonnyJetson754]

His style worked for him low center of gravity

[@Rubeless]

Don’t forget a factory 450; that’s a lot of bike and he had no problem.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

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.

[@brucealbright4405]

My two sons and I absolutely loved watching you race Ricky. We loved you most in green.😂 We watched you battle in St. Louis for 7 straight years and were always glued to the TV whenever Motorcross or Supercross was on. You were the man!! Congratulations man!! You earned all of your success the good old fashioned way.

Man I remember Ricky and Stewart when they were just kids on Little 80s at the race of champions, in Englishtown, New Jersey. They were tearing it up. Clearing the entire elevator jump, I watched Ricky growing up. Seems like yesterday

[@Calle...]

6 years between RC and Stewart though so not quite the same generation.

[@battlight3476]

I met Ricky in the UK at Motocross of nations many years ago, such a Top Guy has plenty of time for anyone. Love u man!!!... Btw, Ricky's old workshop should be preserved as a museum. One I'd definitely like to visit some day.. thanks for sharing Ricky look after yourself my man 🙏👍🤙

[@joedill8162]

That was a really cool personal look at some of the original Goat Farm areas during your career Ricky, I believe Star Racing Yamaha's move to Florida only escalated the value and as well as building a first classic facility to assist in winning Championships 💪🏝🌊🏆🏁

[@multitablez7825]

Wow this was so awesome. i am glad they are trying to keep everything similar to how RC learned.

The new shop just looks so dead, no personality at all going on in there

[@factsnotfeelingssendit5961]

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

[@Crookedcross322]

I did a lock out for him back in the early 2000s, auto club call in anaheim hills , 34 dollar tip and he signed his riding trunks for me , awesome guy, and an awesome autograph! Thank RC, I still have them btw!

“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.

[@thejunkman]

Also Hannah (and friends) trained in the desert.
