Ronnie Mac pulls out his signature trick, the horseshoe. "My hot move, the horseshoe. A salute to the cowboys out there." -- Ronnie Mac
With X Games 16 looming around the corner, this is the time of year when not-so-known riders make a push to get invited by posting videos of themselves going big on YouTube. But it wasn't always that way. There used to be a time when a rider would post a video of themselves riding just to simply show the world how freakin' badass they were -- if X Games came 'a callin' then cool, but it wasn't the main objective.
Enter the illusive internet sensation otherwise known as Ronnie Mac. After letting the world know how sick he is by posting a video to YouTube of himself going extremely big back in November of 2008, Ronnie's goal had been accomplished. However, Ronnie didn't realize that his video would end up becoming viral even though at the time he really didn't care about popularity and fame -- he just wanted to ride his dirt bike, meet some chicks, and drink some beer.
But it's 2010 and with his sick video at a whopping 62,382 views, it seems as if Ronnie's realized that he may just have a shot at competing in X Games 16. With a fresh new Twitter account, a custom-designed website and a sick new video popping up on YouTube, it's pretty evident that Ronnie Mac is looking to get the attention of the X Games overlords. Whether or not he'll get into X has yet to determined, but you can bet that guys like Nate Adams, Blake 'Bilko' Williams, and James Stewart (yes, he's a racer too) are shaking in their pants.
All we know that is if he does gets an invite, they better make room because he'll undoubtedly be riding every single moto-related discipline -- he's just that badass.
Forum Main Moto-Related So who was/is riding as ronnie mac?
Of course ronnie mac is just a pseudo character. When he is talking it sounds definetly like jimmy albertson. But who was riding at straight rhythm? Ive read about several riders playing the role of ronnie mac im just curious.
It's pretty sad when you're a legitimate racer but your alter ego/spoof character gets more air time than you.
The real question should be who is Trevor piranha?

Um, kinda what I was thinking.

sometimes Jimmy sometimes Brett Cue, but he'll probably deny it on here. Jimmy McGarth is Cory Green from AX, his character is spot on so many redneck Dad's around my part of the country are just like that

Monster Truck mentality is spilling over. I have to admit it's pretty funny and I like it.
It's not Colton, as the person who "plays" Joey is a bit shorter... It's someone who's around Colton quite a bit though; he competed in Trials, plus raced WORCS and Endurocross for a few seasons.
Geoff aaron?

I don't think it's Colton or even Ryan dungey but it is someone that can really ride in Sand as well as Oval track racing

That’s the burning question, right? Whether you believe in me, or you don’t there’s always speculation! I only have one thing to say to people. Ronnie Mac may or may not be a real person, it’s more of a lifestyle! When you see one of your buddies at the track not giving a shit what other people think and dirt bike riding this piss out of whatever he throws his leg over, that’s Ronnie Mac. Ronnie Mac lives inside all of us! Not only is he going to send it every time, but he’s a man of the people! Kind to children and smooth with the ladies. Men want to be him, women want to be with him, and kids want to grow into something like him. I know that we started off pretty rough around the edges and to be fair that’s all part of me still but the older I get, I realize that I’m setting examples for kids all around the world! That being said, I don’t want our kids growing up how society wants them to these days. They are molding a bunch of pussies! I don’t mean to be rude, but kids these days need better role models than what’s being put in front of them. I was raised with a “get tough work hard” attitude. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can NEVER hurt me! I feel like people these days are allowing our kids and themselves to take shit way too personally.
I love interacting with younger fans at the dirt bike races! I may like to drink 6 or 9 PBRs and have a good time, but anyone who has been to one of my events knows that I will always have a smile on my face. I ride hard, and with every fan that comes through the autograph line, I give them a little piece of my heart. Lots of people think that I’m a horrible, awful, rude person. Those are the ones that have just gathered an opinion from some of my videos where I talk crap on my competition. They have never seen me interact with the general public. I will NEVER let those people upset me or change the way I operate.
Like I said, Ronnie Mac is a way of life! A man's man who doesn’t take any shit, but also gives back to the people. Loves to have a good time, drink PBRs, and kiss pretty ladies.
Play hard folks, but work even harder! Remember, If y’all don’t believe in Santa, y’all ain't getting no presents under the tree ;)
Keep it twisted,
Yer favorite Uncle,
Ron
