Supercross RC's Farewell

[PapaSmurf]

Here's the opening ceremony that they did last night. This is from my digital camera and the quality isn't the greatest - I thought they would show more of it on the Speed telecast. It's a bit jittery and not the greatest sharpness (I had to dumb down the size for Putfile)!!!!!

All of the factory crews were lined up (even Mitch Peyton was out there) as RC went down the line. Very nice!!! Thought some of you might like to see it!

Thanks for the awesome post. It had to be something to actually be there. That is a race I will regret not going to, but thanks for giving us a piece of history.

I would have cried. RC is my Hero and there will just never be anyone like him in the sport.

I would disagree. Maybe not right away, but someone else will come. Look at what happened when the Supercross king, Jeremy McGrath retired. Many thought it would be the end of Supercross but now it is bigger than ever.

Stephan Everts showed a lot of class flying in for the last race. RC and him were the greatest outdoor riders in history IMO. I don't think SX is better than it ever has been. Other than Orlando most of the races this year along with 06 were boring, loud, and unimaginative tracks. They just don't throw the thumpers around like they did the smokers. Reed really lost some speed when they switched over also.
