We all have that iconic moment, etched into our mind. That TIME when we realised that this is what we love.

Doug Henry when he broke his back. I'll never forget him flying through the air like that.
Him coming back and winning the title after his horrific injury. It gave me a magical feeling that ANYONE, no matter what, could accomplish anything in this sport.
And
His fox ad. If you ever think you can't do anything or that it's to hard, think about how hard it must have been both physically and mentally to come back from that. I think the same thing about Canard. How can they do that and not be superheroes?
The Shop
(I was there) Doug Henry wins the main on his Yamaha 400 four stroker, changed the game of motocross forever.
On his 250.

First riding days at Honda Hills in the early 70's when I was 10.
Johnson getting landed on at gatorback.
Also 1 year at the Pontiac Supercross damon Bradshaw walks over to me and the pro I was playing mechanic for, sits down and just starts hangin out talkin with us for about 20 minutes. 1 of the coolest guys I met in moto
Glen Helen 2003, K-Dub vs RC4. RC4 won the day, but K-Dub made him earn it.
Watching Jimmy Weinert do no hander jumps during the Daytona Supercross, 1979 I think.
Watching Pastrana wheelie the whoops at Daytona while looking up into the grandstand.
Pit Row
RV MXdN 07
NOTE: it has been a few years so I can't put a body part that I have named the riders correctly that boycotted the main but I am about 80% sure.
1986 redbud 125/500 national- 3 digit privateer rider kurt mcmillen makes a jump out of 2 hills that are 100+ feet apart that weren't meant to be jumped in practice,bailey watches him then tries it too but almost didnt stop for left turn and close to hitting fence.Neither Ward,Lechien,Johnson,bailey,holley etc. would try it but Mcmillen did it most of the laps in both moto's- very similar to length/height of early larocco's leap except it wasn't an uphill type jump just a huge chasm from one hill to the other.unreal height!
Dungey coming back from almost a full lap down at Southwick.
RC lapping up to 2nd place in the muck at Millville.

Watching my dad race at Saddleback Park.
Then a few months later seeing Roger DeCoster, Joel Robert and Sylvain Geboers race on the same track.
So many battles between him and RC are etched in my mind that I can't even pick them apart. All of '07 was pretty unreal
