The feel, the sssssound and ssssmell of this 2 strokes is something the 4 strokes can never beat ever. 2 STROKES FOR LIFE BROTHA!
Couldn’t agree more. I can’t stand fart bikes 🤣
@@nessie42786 weed wackers over fart cans all day 😂
There’s a reason 250’s race in a 125cc class
Agree 100%… But 20 years from now somebody’s going to be saying man that smell and sound of a four stroke is some thing the electric bikes will never have four strokes forever😅😢
Castor 927 bean oil,, the smell of growing up racing.
I could almost hear David Bailey's and Art Eckman's voices in my head..
"McGrath takes the checkered" :')
Motocross and Supercross had its Prime in the 90s...best decade ever.
"To the checkered!" Haha Ill never forget that.
@@threefiddyone Art's Voice is the voice of Supercross. 🔥
I totally agree with you. In my case, living in Córdoba, Argentina, I watched all the AMA SX and National MX races on ESPN. McGrath, Cooper, Larocco, Stanton, Kiedrowski, Emig...ufff. Golden age!!
Haha classic, I’m going to now go an watch a few video tapes of his races 😂😂
A lot of great names in that time.
Damn. It's sad that motocross does not look / feel / sound / smell like this anymore. Long live the king.
Amen brother
Unfortunately time marches on. Getting old sucks
soon it wont smell like anything and will sound like a tesla
@@carljames4992 Not a fan of when that day comes, but if electric bikes keep places open I’m all for it.
So many trails and public riding areas are constantly being shut down. Hopefully electric bikes can curb that before there’s nowhere to ride.
@@sarahdell4042 I live in the NW suburbs of chicago, growing up we had at least 20 different areas we could ride at. Now there isn't even one.
Thank you for not ruining it with music
This
The sound of a finely tuned two stroke 125 in the hands of skilled riders 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wish they never would’ve switched to 4 strokes 👎🏻
Those guys are so talented at their age they make it look easy. Amazing to hear the sound of 2 strokes on the track. 👍👍
wtf, Jeremy is a machine! I remember watching him in 95 when i was 10, the man has held up well!
me too. blows me away
I don't think the man skipped a beat. I'm pretty sure there are NOT many days in a year that Jeremy is not on a motorcycle. I talked to him once for a while online actually, super nice man.
Any McGrath fans here if you haven't already, go check out his race a couple years ago at Mammoth Motocross on his 91 Kx500, and then did two other classes same day on his 450. And it was actually the first time his daughter has ever seen him race! Just search McGrath Mammoth
Wow rad !
Thx, will check it out. My favorite video of him was when he went to the US Open in Vegas. Thge used Offspring on the audio, and it was quite well done. The Lightning Striks series was also top notch. MC has a style that nobody has duplicated, and we used to love when he made triples out of jumps that were not meant to be triples during practice. It was epic. Thx for the info, gonna go see it now.
Dubach is 60 yrs. young and still kick in ass He seems to never get credit where credit is clearly due, he and his team helped me for many years in CMC races and he went onto become the legend Dr D and McGrath is the man of the 90s and super cool person also !!!
I was wondering if Dubach was there dude is a machine your comment was spot on . Cheers
Awesome Brother 🤘🏻 🏁 Way Cool 😎
I'm 57 and still shred Motocross! Really like the way McGrath "The King "and other..... Sorry but older Guys are still Killing it!! Hell Ya 🏁☠️🏁☠️🏁 Thanks 🏁 Hey We all look 20yrs old with are Helmets on! Lol 😂
I always say there are a lot of fast 50 years olds out there flying under the radar. Back in the mid 70s to mid 80s they would usually have two 40 rider gates full in the novice classes, and a full gate of each amateur and expert. Finally got my first bike a few months ago 18 years after raising my kids, and my 50 something dad bod comes off the track and these kids go dam you are fast old man.
Well I'm 68 years old and I still ride a 2 stroke KDX 200 1984. Yeah, there's something about the sounds ,smells and roosting of a 2 stroke. Back when Gene Richey owned Red Bud me and a bunch of the guys from school used to live up there.....so to speak. I not near as fast as I was but, I still sound great!! WFO!!
I'm not even a minute in, and this clip shows why motocross is one of the greatest sports ever. An icon like Jeremy can just line up and shoot the shit like any local dude. It's like Michael Jordan showing up at a local basketball court and everybody is just chill with it.
that was the best part of the video to me was everyone almost like another fun sunday at the track sort of thing. too cool. I miss it.
I had the pleasure of racing Supercross and Motocross with Jeremy in 95 and 96. He was just on another level that's all you could say. He probably didn't even train for this and came out and performed amazingly.
I can tell you riding a motocross bike around the track is the most exhausting experience you'll ever have until you start running and getting your cardio up. This was impressive and great for Mac's daughter to see.
It brings joy to my heart seeing & hearing 2 strokes race again. Wish I could smell them too! Awesome to see McGrath leading the pack still. I sure do miss riding. Perhaps I’ll be able to again one day. Such a great sport!
you can run a leaf blower in your room all night while you sleep if you want. nobody stopping you
@@NoPrivateProperty Haha! Not quite the same. Funny though.
I hear that.i was telling my wife earlier how much I would like to get another bike…for some reason it’s been on my mind constantly lately
Never thought I’d see him wearing green, but it’s awesome to see him out there shredding.
Thanks for sharing!
No kidding...I always associate McGrath with Honda
McGrath rode green for Mitch Payton and pro circuit before going to honda. check him out back in the day on video.
This was more interesting to watch than the current Champs tbh. Great to see the king out there killing it
Brings a tear to me eyes. Only thing would better would be watching the ol 93 cr250 brappin down the track
Man, bring the 80s and 90's back please!!!!!!!!
He was my hero when I was a kid. I remember one of his first 125 races he crashed early in the race and came back and won!
Wow, wow and wow. The speed and efficiency those dudes still display. Freakin awesome.
I own a rd400 love the smell of 2 strokes and the sound
Sometimes it's just nice to have consistency in your life. 2022 and Jeremy is still winning! (or near enough to)
Sweet thumbs and up and nod of his head as he completed the first lap too :)
Thanks for the video.
@EMG ENT yeah Doug seems to be in his prime at 59.I just don't understand it.
It's good to see them racing for the love of it & having a good time with each other with out all the hype.
Pasha puts up a decent size purse for this race
He just has the feeling for this - he still knows how to ride a bike the right way!
Love to watch the KING of Supercross. No matter what he racing.Gives us little bit older people hope that we can always keep riding.
Ah the sound of real bikes and it proves real skill doesn't need a 450.
One of the greatest memories I have is hearing and smelling those sweet two strokes fire up on the line through the morning fog at Southwick Massachusetts for morning practice and seeing guys like Joe Waddington, JoJo Keller, Jim Meenan, Badger, Dave Rudnicki, Todd Richotte and the rest of the experts being able to be the first one's out on a perfectly groomed track. Even now I can close my eyes and see it as if it were yesterday and besides a gorgeous woman naked it's the most beautiful thing in the world.
Factory 2-Strokes were the bomb back then. I remember the smell of the VP, and the Brapppp sound unlike any non-Factory bike as they hit it to clear a triple. It was amazing to see in person, and hear. I hated going to 4-Strokes, bvut at the time I bought a Yamaha 426, which was the start of the 450's. I never liked riding it as much as a 2 Stroke, but I bought it because they were outlawing the 2 Strokes and I wanted to be ahead of the curve.
Thank You for videoing this and posting it.
Amazing, so many of the best ever duking it out and having a blast doing it. This is one of the neatest videos on CZcams in awhile.
I'm sure that those guys had a lot of fun out there. Thanks for sharing this 👍
And the best part about that video.....that two stroke sound!
A genuine pleasure to watch these riders race and see their enjoyment of the sport. Thanks for the upload.
I wish Jeremy could ride his cr250 with Emig on his kx250 in a friendly race, that would be epic!!!
This video must smell SO GOOD!
MC and Doctor D on the mic.
That’s something you don’t see every day.
Great Job Gentlemen!
It's cool to be able to see this. Thanks
Dr. D laying the smack down on Brownie and Supermac.
Doug was and still is one hell of a rider. I don't know for a fact but I think he might be the winningest vet rider + before the 4 strokes invader and they had their own 4stroke nationals he won a ton of them too
That rookie on the Yamaha was on your butt. Thanks for all good memories McGrath
Lol
Doug is like 59-60 yrs old and still can deliver 🤯
He’s 50 tho
@@szaboilles529 Douglas Dubach born June 30 1963. Are you that bad at math? Or just too lazy to even look?
@@szaboilles529 he’s late 50’s.
He is 59, how did he do this to McGrath, in what? 6 laps?

Absolute legends. Grew up watching all these riders. I’ll never forget the smell of VP filling qualcomm
Good to hear 2 Strokes! 20,000 rpm chaos! Bring back the 2 Stroke racing!
You realize no 2 stroke MX bike does anything near 20k rpm. more like 11k.
This is awesome! I still have my GT Showtime Jeremy McGrath edition bike!
This is Pure Gold! So many Rad OG's pinning it on legendary Glen Helen! I can almost smell the castor, wish I was there that day.
Great video. Everyone had a smile on there face. That's what motocross is about, FUN.
would not wanna race the GOAT
The YZ clearly has a little more power you can really see it going up the hill but badass race!
You mean the YZ that didn't win?
@Milk Manson pretty sure McGrath was on a kawi so? Don't know what your saying
I had a hat back in the day it had Jeremy McGrath's signature stitched into it and the number one with the Honda that was one of my prized possessions thank you for the Memories
Please bring back the 2-strokes! Man I miss my WR 430 & 430 XC Husky’s!!
Jeremy McGrath and Kelly Slater are the best atheletes of all time in my book

As a somewhat "older" guy, Jeremy is killin' it!,...on a 125....
Jeezus, look at all the guys rolling into the gate from a mile away 🙄
Good ride Jeremy!!!
I was sure i wasnt going to be the only one to notice it. Must be a West Coast thing. Notice it didnt seem to help any of them 😂
I think I could see them all from a SMILE Away👍😄
I was standing at the second to last turn before finish line and to say watching these guys pass only feet away was incredible would be an understatement. Absolute studs !!!!
The world needs more of this. 250s 500s
Thank you!
Great video.. Mc still rocking the shark fin 😀
2 of the best from the best era and still the best in this era.
That was AWESOME 👊
Glad too see these childhood heros still at it!
Getting some awesome Flashbacks!
Sure would like to see showtime, reed, villipoto, Ricky and bubba at lorettas
YES...that would b frickin awesome
I don't know who would win but Chad Reed would get 2nd
One day richard one day
Good show 🤜💥👍Nice work
These guys are awesome. I wasn't that fast back in my prime days just awesome to watch true talent
MC and Dr D duking it out on 125’s now that is awesome
THAT WAS AWESOME.
The king will always be my fav. He rode at my neighbors private track years ago wish I could have met him then. 💕
I used to watch him ride from my grandmas house behind his dad’s auto shop
I was a big fan of his, and me and my buddies went to 2 Vegas US Open Sx's, and at the Studio 54 After Party, I went to the bar to get a beer, and MC was arm locked with Troy Lee, well when MC walked up, he bumped into me by accident, and he insisted in buying me a beer, but it was Red Bull Sponsored, so he got me a Red bull and Marandin Vodka instead. That became my fav drink. I started chatting with him, and he invited me up to the 2nd floor, where only the riders and their family/friends could go. I spent that night hanging out with legends, and I was in awe of MC's kindness and how funny he was, Troy lee too. I'll never forget that night, and my respect for him grew quite a bit that night, even though he was my #1 prior. I used to spend hours slow-mo'ing the vids of his style, and how he did so many things to save and gain time. Those were fun days, and it was a blast to be in that mix for a night. I got to know Davey Combs and Malcom McCassy a bit at the Atlanta SX's. We used to drive up from Florida each year for 7 straight years. Fun times and once we went there a few times, we got to know Shae Bentlys brother, Brandon. He was awesome and used to take us out in his Hummer, and he knew basically everybody in Atlanta. He was a great host. So much fun. One time as we were driving back to our Hotel, after we said goodnight to Brandon, I drove my truck and felt bad for a homeless guy, so he hopped in the bed of the truck and we drove him into Buckhead, but we also stopped and got some food. It was freezing outside, and as we got near the hotel about an hour later, I saw that guy in my mirror! I completely forgot!!! We were lauging so hard that night. I dropped him where he wanted to go after that! (There may have been alcoghol involved) Also, we learned the 2nd last time that those frozen shakes you can buy all over Atlanta are the BEST thing in the World for hangovers. Anyway, just sharing some of my favorite times being aroiund that crowd. Solid people, all of them.
@@ybsmike6512 that's awesome. Sounds like hoot!!
Makes you wonder which bike was truly a 125... Still love watching these guys ripn! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, maybe they could have slightly bored kits on them, but that high pitched buzz is still pure 125 heaven 🥰
The sounds and sights of that starting gate brought me so much joy.
I can almost smell the two stroke fuel and it gives me butterflies!!!
@Peter Alexander l used to race back when l was young and that smell gave me butterflies, l guess because l was anxious or scared or maybe both. When l crank up my chainsaw l get the same feelings today. Crazy!!!
This guys a legend- I saw him race once where he started in eighth or ninth position and passed everyone to win the race! It’s was insane!
It's just good to see him out there.
Some great footage.
Got the 2 smoke ripper! I still love mine.
McGrath is one of the coolest guys on the planet.
That start sounded so cool.
Wow that is amazing I grew up watching Jeremy McGrath dominate the world of dirt bikes. I believe he used to live in canyon lake and had his own track out here in Good Old lake Elsinore California. So funny was just commenting about Jeremy McGrath the other day somebody said James Stewart was the best dirt bike rider ever I beg to differ I made a comment and said Jeremy McGrath is the best dirt bike rider ever good to see you're still riding 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
He is, No doubt.
Everyone has their own favorite riders...but RC is the best dirtbike rider in the sports history by a wide margin...love MC and Stew but RC smoked both of them regularly....either way it was it was GREAT racing and definitely the golden era of moto/supercross. Glad to have seen it in real time
@@joebuss8835 are You kidding?
RC was beating McGrath in 2001.
RC was 22 years old...
McGrath was 30 years old and Not in his Prime anymore, when Carmichael was able to Beat him finally.
Carmichael got his ass kicked in 99 and 2000.
McGrath in 94-96 was unbeatable.
Best rider ever.
@@backwithabang5842 thank you for clarifying.👍👍👍
@@backwithabang5842
So good to see long-live the two-stroke
Johnny O'Mara showed the world what a 125 can do with the right rider at the 86 Motocross Des Nations.
The legend of motocross & supercross...
Jeremy McGrath is still the monster of the track
Jeremy still rips it up. Wish he was on the Honda 250 2 stroke that was his machine. Long live the King.
How rad would that have been if he lined up on the 94
@@augmor That would have been totally cool.
So awesome.
Roots of Steel 🤙🏼
Jeremy McGrath is a true motocross legend!
What a year 🎉for the Yamaha brand
Sempre il migliore, sempre un mito!
Absolute legend
Trop top de voir du mcgrath, ce pilote, une vrai légende.
your getting old when you remember McGrath
Hey now.... I "resemble" that statement 🤣🤣🤣
@@kevincollins4112 is Bradshaw with you too? lmao cheers mate!
I had posters of this guy on my wall when I was a kid
Holy moly, Doug's YZ 150 pulled away from MC on the straight like he was standing still 😲. That's what MC gets for using a 125 when everyone else is running big bores🤣
This is so cool👍
125-150 two strokes are so entertaining to watch and ride
proudly never even owned or ridden a 4 stroke on the track lol! also i love seeing guys 20 years older than me ripping on the track i never want to stop riding MX
The nicest thing about the 125cc 2 smoke is u can really hammer the bike...an i started racing anyway after a pretty bad car accident the 125 is not to bad on the muscle soreness where the big bike requires a little better fitness...i said i could go pull off some magic on the great 125s i had an getting a holeshot on that tweaked little bike against tweaked bigger bikes is a silencer..looks like jeremy got a top 3 start could see from a far...
Glen Helen builds new champions and celebrates past ones.
Dubach amazing. How old 60? Could still race Nationals.
Wicked cool!
Great to see my childhood star doing well! Are everyone in this race 50+ years old though?
I used to race 125cc at Glen Helen when I was in highschool. Fun times.
Holy smokes, Doug Dubach was the one dicing with MC!!! Wow!!
No better sound or smell than a 2 smoke running race gas. Love my 300cc
