Someone like Ryan Dungey does not come around very often in this sport, some might say once a generation. Sure he might not have been the fastest, the flashest or pulled the most tricks but you will find it hard to find a cleaner or more technical rider to ever grace a Supercross track. Don't get me wrong, on a good day this guy will eat you for breakfast but he always rode 100% within the limits and no mistakes! That was his strength and it cast fear into everyone who lined up against him on the gate. You simply could not afford 1 mistake or he had you! Amazing.

Dungey shocked everyone when he announced he was retiring from professional racing this year straight after picking up his fourth Monster Energy Supercross title. Yes thats right 4! He also picked up his first title in his rookie season taking both Supercross and Motocross titles! Nobody has ever done that in the history of the sport! He racked up a total of 7 championships across Supercross and Motocross and somehow managed to stay humble and grounded. He is a true Motocross hero in my eyes and a perfect example of what hard work and dedication can do.

"Even if you’re a simple kid from a small town in Minnesota, just like me, if you dream big, work hard, and believe in yourself, big things can come your way."

"Homegrown" is a tribute to one of the most technical riders the sport has ever seen. One of my heros and I'm sure many others, hall of famer no doubt.
