All this F/T talk just reminds me that I was VERY lucky to have guys like Eklund, Pearson and Castro tech me how to "Throw it out there"...

I remember them telling me,"You motocrosss kids are such PUSSIES! Gawd! Why do you ALWAYS slow down like a girl when you go thru a flat turn?"

Then they'd set-up some barrels and just RIP around them on YZ465s...then, make me get out there on my 125, Put a "Double-Leader front brake" on ALL my bikes. Taught me how to OWN the 1st turn at Saddleback and beat the hell out the Team Green riders down there...on my YAMAHA!

Really, Really...good times.

Damn.

Makes me really miss Steve.

When I was a kid we would visit in Cali once a year and I remember going to the Orange County Fairgrounds races, back when Penhall was the shit.
My uncle was a fan, went to the weekly races.
Wish he would have been alive to see my son racing MX.

Funny how many people contribute to our thoughts and memories on moto over the years.

As soon as a promoter attaches the word 'National' or 'championship' to an event, the price automatically doubles- you should know this
