Schwantz had an habit of looking back to see who is on his tail at 200 kmph!!! Legendary!
I crashed out out of T12 at the Island. 5th gear highside. Broke my back in 3 places, left shoulder, right wrist and both ankles. It was the best fun I ever had.
Randy was a great rider and proved himself with his famous save,America produced some brilliant riders back in the day then
Those bikes were savage
Those bikes were BEAUTIFUL ❤️
I really miss this era. Rainey, Schwantz, Gardner........ old school and no dangling foot
When I loved racing...especially as an American. Schwantz=iron man.
@@mikerieck306 Kevin is the reason so many of us Ride .... Legend
Imagine if you watch a race with Ago, Read or Hailwood. All real classic riders without any hippie Yankee there!
LoL , I am joking!
It is just having fun about what each one thinks is the golden era, against those newer "punks".
Seems like a lifetime ago. Wish I could go back...
I wasn't born yet but I wish I could've watched these guys race D: My dad always shared stories with me and we'd watch some VHS tapes together
Wow look at the massive crowd. Nothing like that today at Phillip Island.
I think it was something like 105,000. We were there, and it took us 5 hours to get off the island the traffic was that heavy. They’ve improved it out of sight since then, they learned a lot from that first GP.
Skill , that's pure skill unlike todays bike
RANDY MAMOLA O MELHOR PILOTO DE MOTOCICLETA EM TODOS OS TEMPOS
2 stroke forever!!!!
Best era pure skills
Kevin learned to keep his eyes focused forward after the crash at Philip Island in 1989
Man some serious super riders in those days wow!!
That is awesome history!!... WoW, Schwantz, yeah the brutal 500's... I remember many of his similar moments, still my fave to the day... The history of the GP is great, what a sport... Thank you for the vid! AUS MotoGP today, 27 Oct 2019 30 years on...
When bikes were bikes and racing was racing, unlike what we've got today
Shut up
@@j-csl7858 why should he it's his opinion. Not to mention that he is totally correct. Today's bikes are controlled by engineers with laptops and the riders put their trust in the engineers and just twist away without any concerns of crashing (especially highsiding).
jj moto Try telling that to Danilo Petrucci....who was racing at Philip Island on Sunday 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@dmandhelen did you read the cause of his crash. He even stated he was pushed by MM up into a "dirty" part of the track. The dirt on the track caused it because slicks don't like dirt. Not by throttle control and power delivery
jj moto no I didn’t... 🤔🤔🤔but it looked like throttle to me ??? I would have thought it would have lowsided if the track had been dirty .. ?? Also vinales crash looked like throttle too ?? I know what you mean though .. I wasn’t disagreeing with you really as I did think that they had TC .. but I still think that even with all the technology, they do still need huge amounts of skill and nerve to ride at the limit .. 300ish HP 170ish KG... even with full set of electronics is still a massively dangerous animal😱😱😱😱😁😁😁😁👍👍👍
Them cats were hard core👍👍
Cagiva 500..........how beautiful was??
The old 500 smokers. On and off. That was the extent. Come on traction control !.
Randy TOP
1989 should have been Schwantz's year. Stupid mistakes like that cost him dearly. Lawson and Kanamoto put in their best ever performances that year to turn the Honda into a championship winner. The work they started turned the NSR into the most dominant GP racer of the 1990's.
Have to agree Suzuki was a great machine in 89 Sad Kevin had no one in his camp to calm him down coach him ..wreckers and checkers cost him .....
@@CP-kb1du Suzuki had closed the power gap while maintaining their handling advantage. Honda still had the power in the class, but was the worst handling, Yamaha being the best all around bike and Cagiva being... Cagiva. You are spot on with the lack of a calming influence in the Suzuki camp. While his parents traveled with him, there was no strong mentor figure there.
That cagiva was a death trap!
no électronic crutches, no wings, no airbag, no holeshot device, no long laps , no salad box , no tyre pressure window…..only big balls to turn throttle full angle with a 500 cc 2 strokes 💪
Kevin's adrenaline helped him, then his body just went,that's what happens,adrenaline is so powerful,it gives the body no fear,just look how he walks away,and then bang,he's gone,i been there! Kevin was such a fast rider..ADRENALINE is the drug is why we ride
*I remember seeing it, totally gutted*
Kevin doing his best Mamola impersonation.....
Is it just me or did I saw Schwantz loosing his left glove when he was ejected out of his motorcycle??
I saw it too 😳
Yes D:
Yes his glove came off
Those Cagiva's were beautiful. Tamburini designed?
Google search must be broken. And yes.
yes, Tamburini. a bloody genius
"Kevin Svannts"
Searching the famos Mamola Wheelie pic , when he waves backwarts to the Photograph over his shoulder... mexico?
Former world champion Kevin Schwantz must be learning a lot about riding from all the armchair experts in the comments section
Says an armchair expert.
@@pachma405 I'm not giving out any advice though, am I?
Kevin Schwartz totally caused that highside by looking back
They said the throttle immediately went wide open. Odd words imo
Como nos carros, as motos italianas eram vermelhas
DAMN
Thanks for the video...I was starting to worry Randy went of the island and down a cliff and into the water I haven't seen anyvfull races at Phillip island,....looks more like the suspension was the issue bikes were not very balanced unlike a g factory normal is....not enuf compression or pre load pop the front of just when braking starts the wheel was back on the ground but no load on it Kevin just was sitting back to far with cold tire first lap?? Both their bikes looked mushy....and too soft
It seized
. I think
Those track marshals in the chairs were like is he gonna hit us!? Nah wait oh shit lmao... the Americans dominated the 500gp days.
First fall of mamola the rear well lift from the ground maibe the front breake was not in perfect condition
La Mamola's crash is the best always
🎖
The biggest trouble with those 2stroke 500's was highsiders, I've seen a lot of those, very nasty.
LOL the MC
2:15 *Kevin leaned it a little too much and touched the throttle a tweak too much, I remember it well.*
More importantly he was distracted having just looked back over his shoulder.
Da brothers
*jadul* 👍👍👍👍👍
Randy Swantz
ass i was Young and crazy was my heros
si è voltato a guardare dietro ed è volato in avanti...
Ippon seoi from the high side hurts
Schwantz probably should have been looking in front , not behind
That cagiva was a nice looking bike,but was plagued with issues and a bitch to ride.
Are the narrater by any means German? Kevin Schwanz 🤔
Kevin shwants e randi mamola eram pilotos fracos. Não ganharam nada só faziam malabarismo
ZEE German can ride fast SCHVANTZ
😱
