Ricky Carmichael won an unbeaten 150 races on both motocross and supercross, and was voted AMA Rider of the Year 5 times during his career. It’s no surprise that he earned the nickname GOAT (Greatest of All Time) for winning more AMA SX/MX races combined and breaking more records than any rider in the history of the series. In the latest video, Carmichael swings a leg on a Big Bore adventure bike, and is shown hitting the road before hitting the dirt. The video shows Ricky sliding the big machine into the dirt, and considering Carmichael’s height is only 5’6″, it seems easy enough for him to step down a foot from a full-size and long-ish adventure bike .
