Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on November 27, 1979)

Happy Birthday to Ricky Carmichael, the legendary GOAT of motocross! You've soared through dirt tracks and conquered ramps at X-Games with gravity-defying style. Whether it's your countless championships or those jaw-dropping stunts that left us gasping (and occasionally spilling popcorn), you've always kept life thrilling.

Now racing stock cars, you're proving once again there's no terrain you can't master—though we suspect four wheels might feel a bit tame after flying high on two. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer wipeouts than victories, more laughs than bruises, and enough cake-fueled horsepower for another epic lap around the sun. Cheers!
