I used to have that on VHS... actually I've seen a couple supercrosses where the track rides along the top of the stands.

I have that "Great Moments in Supercross" CD set and it has several races in the LA colliseum where they went up and down the lower seats like that. That sure would be cool to see again!

Wam! Bam! Thank ya Mam!. I'm going to have to dig through the tapes now. I have this one tucked away somewhere. Dirt Bike Stars... if i remember right.


Is this also the tape where they ask Warren Reid what it would take to beat a factory rider and he says a cold day in hell? Then ask since you are the top privateer what are you hoping for tonight and he says A cold day in hell.


I also remember using the superb info from the Doug Domokos segment where they talk about using the rear break if you go back to far. After seeing that, I practiced and practiced on my RM80 until I got my wheelies down. Just when I thought I was getting good I looped out in 4th gear and broke my arm in 4 places with a compound fracture. Come to find out that I lost the nut off the back of my drum brake.

it would be cool to see them build tracks up into the stadium that way again. get a little more speed and less combo jump stuff.

guess thats the "old" guy talking ..................

Great find as always Bobby!! One thing the tracks of today have over those of yesteryear is flow. That video hurt watching it with all the abrupt jumps and flat landings.

Now I'm going to have to dig out my old SX videos from the mid 80's Cheerful

Right click and 'save as' to your desktop. Then when you want to watch it, open it VLC Media Player, it's the best free player available and it plays just about everything!

Thanks for that BobbyM. I like the surgical precision, on the half mile man made battleground, and the "braap"

Computer designed jumps... lmao

What I like about watching these oldies is trying to figure out what the modern era riders/bikes are capable of doing on these tracks that these guys were not.

Alan King, got second the Sun in the last Semi there... he's on this board isn't he? He does MX schools or soething right?

exactly what I was thinking. They'd jump over everything with todays bikes.

Great Video! They used to go part way up into the stands at the Seatle Kindome in the late 80's.

Thanks! I was at that Supercross.

Could you imagine still having to listen to Larry Huffman? Egad!

#91 is David Gerig. Jefferson was #797, and this is the historic race that Andrew qualified for his first SX race.
