This was the year that American motocross and supercross legend Ryan Villopoto hung up his helmet and boots.

BikesportNZ.com was there to witness one of his greatest days on the track, when he took his MX2 Kawasaki to win both motos at the Motocross of Nations at Budd’s Creek in 2007, and that was just one memorable day of many for the man they call ‘RV’.

Let’s take a look at this video tribute to the man.
