The AMA Protects Ricky Carmichael... "I Was So F***ing Pissed Off"

[@talon0863]

During his nearly 10-year career in America, Roncada raced (and beat) Ricky Carmichael, Travis Pastrana, and James Stewert, as well as just about every rider of that era. He won the 2000 125 East Supercross Championship, and came up just a few points shy of the 2000 125 National Motocross Championship. During his transition from racer to common man, Roncada fought a well-documented battle with painkillers and depression. Roncada left the sport in 2006, spent some time recovering from his demons, and landed a corporate job designing video games in Arizona. In 2017 they were designing MX video game using unreal engine.

He never beat James lol the 2 battles they had in 2004 James won. Vegas and hang town lol casual fans. He also never beat Ricky. By the time he went to America Ricky had moved up to 250s.

Yeah while on cocaine then he quit cocaine got out of shape and faded to black very quickly after those couple first years on fire. Allegedly.

[@talon0863]

Roncada has back issues, so it's legit he has health issues.

[@HPAcustomriflesandcerakote]

Not on a regular basis he didn't. RC, James, and especially Travis were faster riders

[@mrjacktraeger]

Dam Stephane Roncada, a legendary name from my childhood when motocross was everything to me. I remember always hearing this guys name up front of the pack battling for the podium despite never knowing anything about him off the bike. Thats cool af, always was a big fan of you Stephane 🤙

[@petepedro350]

Roncoda is awesome. Love the battles he had with James.

[@UncleSarkis]

This guy can show up to any track and beat anyone in it. Craaaaazy. I miss those days 20 some odd years ago.

[@ronaldtravis970]

Ain’t seen him in a minute 🤘 Great interview 👍as alway !

[@DisasterTheoryX]

Damn Ron Ron put on some weight lol Dude was bad ass before he got injured.

[@SolusRap]

When I was first getting into the sport in the late 90s, Stephane was my favorite rider. He was the most aggressive guy out there, and nobody wanted to see the #21 Kawi rolling up behind them. Funny how some things never change 😂

[@Justin_104]

My dad still has a lighter with Stephane on it on his 2005 Monster pc kawi right when they switched from Chevy trucks. I think it was at the kawi test track

[@cocopirata763]

you beat buba in hes best days increible

I think it's safe to say that no one is going to be friends with Friese.

Corporate carmichael still callin the shots where ever he goes. Have another drink freckles 😅

[@colinsutton7944]

You should get Bubba Warren on the podcast. Guys fucking shreds moto and mtb

[@johnnycarpenter1744]

I painted a bmw for him that his dog chewed on 1 time his wife hired me to fix it while he was working out of town on video game stuff

[@engineerinhickorystripehat]

Broc Glover ? Bruce Penhall?

[@Dan_Minton]

Great rider

[@gilesquivel6151]

Ron Ron. Back in the day. Gd times.

[@OohPieceofcandydude]

the 24 honda? wrong guy dude that was Fonseca. Fonseca is in a wheelchair, so watch what you say. Roncada has back issues, so it's legit he has health issues.

[@gregoryceddinger4313]

James and Chad only tolerate each other. Stephan, I don’t know of any sanctioning body that would endorse a rider publicly saying they’re going to take out a rider.

[@tjtruth4793]

Allowing a racer to race the series he’s been racing and planned to continue racing is very far from an endorsement. If you say that it is, they’ve endorsed it countless times over the years. Riders mentioning taking others out often. This was about RC and the money and the legit threat the AMA saw that their cash cow could’ve been at risk

[@kukko83]

I watch your videos from time to time, mainly because of the high profile quests. These guys are from an era I was the most into motocross, a golden age for me if you will. It's cool to hear their insights. But.. Too many times, you find a way to inject your own thoughts into the storyline, and try to reflect yourself on the interviewees. Most of the time it doesn't relate to the story, as much as you'd like to think and it's not that interesting. Often times it get's unnecessarily deep, as you ramble on about your own experiences. I just keep waiting for the train of thought to return to it's tracks, and have the guy being interviewed get on with his story. I'm also pretty sure I've heard you talk about the negativity towards you, and you not caring about it a few times now. Again, in this interview it came out of the blue and left me wondering, what does that have to do with anything that was being discussed. The "You get what I'm saying?" after it, is quite a telling phrase. This is meant to be a constructive piece of criticism (everything is so easily considered to be "hate" these days), because I think as a whole, you're doing good things for the sport. Just make it less about you, and more about the guest. Thanks.

[@mattwhitmarsh696]

If you don’t enjoy his pod casts then stop watching them! It’s pretty simple and I would say everyone loves this guys interviews.

How has his accent gotten worse the longer he has been in America?

[@jemcee97]

If ya trying to encourage it or make it more than it really is, it becomes fake and you can keep that lame WWE shit.. I will not be into it!

[@moe92870]

I never liked Carmichael. He has a big ego. And he named himself the "Goat." In my eyes, there's only one goat Goat Brecker, lol. I know Ricky was that good, though.

[@ronross6]

That Was lame AF.. I get it in the heat if the Moment..shit happens.. RonRon21 got nailed..hurt..even though he was playing mind games leading up to it..a little etc..A moment or 2 later..RC woulda passed him anyway... Without The Parking..

No they don't treat him like the golden boy that's Jet that you're thinking about😅

Just looking at the title I thought this was going to be about the worst announcer in sports.
