the GOAT nick name really gets to me , how can he go down as the greatest of all time , RC might be one of the fastest riders in history but he never won a world championship ?!?!?! yeah he probably would have if he had tried but HE DIDN'T

I think Carmichael could've easily won a world title if he wanted.. But the US pays more money, has better competition and an easier lifestyle. The World Champ doesn't hold the same status as the AMA champ these days.

after the list of older names I think was the order of the day ;) those blokes like Bubba, RC and Goat are only wee nippers in the world of vmx, albeit fery vast nippers that would whip any old ass that was silly enough to go near them :D

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Hey Nath, I don't need the internet to look stupid. It's a natural skill I was born with.

another from a more modern era I know, but "Sick" Mick Cook was at the QVMX meet at Coles Ck today and ran away with every race I saw him in despite being on a fairly battered looking TT250
