First guy I know of to ever do, least that I saw, a turn-down flat whip...this was mid-70's
Bummer
RIP
I will let you one thing for sure, when we realized he was down he was still attached to the bike, knees around the tank and the bike was still running, so as always he was still riding it all the way to heaven.

A couple of years back, flying out of the MXdN in Denver, Monte was in the security line with my oldest and they chatted about motocross.
Said he was very nice and fun to talk to.

This is how I want to go.
RIP
Godspeed, Monte. You were a hero to many of us here in the 70's as young ,aspiring Florida MX riders.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
I also read where Joey Gratton died friday racing his offshore powerboat in Key West, sad weekend for the MX family here in florida.
It's kinda good Jake left before Monte went down, after his scare there last weekend.
What was Monte's preferred beverage I'll bring it out there next time to raise a glass in his honor.
Condolances to Family and Friends,,,
Rudy called me 1st thing this morning,I am deeply sadden by his passing
.I do once again thank you and Monte for helping me when I was down at Sunshine.

We have started building a website for him that has the basics up there right now in a effort to help everyone know about the memorial services time and place.
That site is http://www.montemccoy.net
We will be adding features which will include your ability to post and leave comments and donations so his daughter can finish her last year at college which was his biggest sense of pride along with his passion for motorcycles.
We will be updating that site with more info of his life in the
up coming weeks and months so keep checking back and let me know your stories and thoughts as we develop the posting features for all of you to use.

And Chicken Farm was a great sand track. Whoops the whole track with the one big sky jump into the pines.
