What about Shae Bentley or Talon Voland?
Out of the list I too would have to go with Yogi.

Thats what other is for. Ran out of riders, but they are both good choices.

Ben Riddle, so the term "ride it like you stole it" would mean something.

I don't get the Ben Riddle analogy? The only thing I knew him from was Mini Warriors when he broke his collarbone (that was Ben Riddle right?)
I went with Yogi too. I miss him back from his Kawi days and the time he won a sx and dedicated it to his newborn daughter was awesome. He just wasn't ever the same once he came back on Yamaha's

RC is a clear choice. I think he'd lay waste if he trained again. Buttttt, in the true spirit of this thread I would LOVE to see JMB come back. That guy was soooooo gifted. He could figure out all the new techniques if he hasn't already. He's younger than Dowd and only a couple years older than Bradshaw.

It depends. If we could transplant one rider out of his prime from the past and put him on modern equipment I'd love to see a 25 year old MC race supercross again.
If they just decide to start racing again I'd like to see RC kill it some more.

I know he raced the GPs, maybe all the way up until last year. But, id like to see him try at the US nationals, I think Pichon could still be very competitive.

The dude was fast. Could break a bike in half fast. He was fearless on a dirtbike.... it was something you had to see to understand. He was from my hometown.
Won numerous LL's championships as an amatuer.. got pulled by Factory Suzuki (Roger Decostor) to race 125's. Sadly he was "riddled" with injuries at the start of his pro career. Plus he was 6'4" and 200lbs on a 125.... he should have been on a big bike from the start.
He basically just stopped racing cold-turkey. Got involved in drugs, underground fighting, had an almost life ending street bike crash..... now he's in jail.

I went with Everts, I'd like to see him racing in the US Nats against RC and Stewart, but only with Everts in his prime and Stewart not wadding up every other race trying to keep up with the goat

From that list I'd say Albertyn just because he always has spectacular crashes.

I still have that race on vhs somewhere...man that was such a great race! Doug Henry is my nod (yes I realize he's partially paralyzed).

Frickin sweet! He was a great SX rider. Not many guys can say they bet MC in his prime.

JLaw...oh I thought it was "Riders out of Jail" not Retirement...I wish Magoo never got hurt, he would be my pick hands down.

RC for sure, I miss watching him race. I saw him do the 2 Stroke race at Red Bud during the national and I got goosebumps.
