DeHoop still rides... he has an 08 YZ250 smoker.

Him and his bro Chad work for the same company selling truck parts, atleast since the last time I talked to them.

Both still live in MI, Gran Rapids area.

DeHoop does still ride. He also works with some of the younger riders in the area. He showed up for an 30 Minute extreme moto last year and borrowed a bike and won.

Super nice guy.

Roncada is living in Phoenix now designing video games. From what I hear he just started riding again for fun, and I think he's teaching a school with Justin Bucklew coming up.

448 is correct, he's got a 250YZ. He and his wife Carlie have a son, 2 years old.
He's shooting a National every now and then, has the vid thing going
and seems to be lovin life.

Stop over and check out his website, he a a few guys have been
bustin it. PM there him if you want , he actually gets back pretty quick.

The other one was david. How about John Kitsch(sp?), Eric Mclear, Sean Dukes, Todd Neal. Very fast amateurs, but that was it.

A lot of people might not realize how fast Swink was on 125s back then. If anything, he seemed even more dominant than McGrath. It wasn't until they both moved up to the 250 class that McGrath's talent really took off while Swink seemed to struggle.

I suspect Swink's training program simply was not adequate for the increased competition of the big bike class.

I remember watching Swink win the Indy supercross one year. He was so far ahead at the checkers he had his helmet off and was getting a drink before the second place guy crossed the line.
