One thing that was always a mytery to me were two of the riders from the October 1988 issue. To this day I still have no idea who Mike Kurzeja or Scott Wilkinson were. Does any one know their stories?

Mike Kurzeja on a 1987 YZ125. Possibly from the midwest (Illinois?) due to the DGY seat cover on the bike.


Scott Wilkinson on the 1987 CR250? The Hi Point gear and Devol disc guard hint at an American rider but the radiator shrouds look to be euro style aftermarket and have the HRC/British flag logo.

I know this is old but I know Mike Kurzeja on the YZ125 # 346 he is my cousin he lived in Darien IL a suburb of Chicago my Dad got him his 1st dirt bike a RM 80 and trained him and was his mechanic. I was racing my Yzinger 50. He was sponsored buy DGY (Downers Grove Yamaha) MSR and Scott and I think WD40. I remember he won LL and turned pro in 86 I think Then he had a bad crash.

Stopped ridding and became a Cop and is trying to be a boxer. Goggle his name you can see videos on you tube about him.

I haven't talk to him in a while his 3 sons were riding I think one might be still I know he did the ktm 50 race at Indianapolis a few years ago. Pretty cool to see that picture I use to have that poster on my wall!
Hello people, I'm Scott Wilkinson, the mystery rider featured in the 1988 poster magazine. I just stumbled across this topic from 2013.

People were wondering who I am so I'm here to shed some light. I remember shooting that poster action shot like yesterday. I was never a factory super star but rather a top local Pro from southern California. Photographer Kinny Jones (also a personal friend) and I both were working for MSR at the time and the image was shot on his CR250 in a flat field across the street from MSR - lol. Here it is 2016 and I'm still at MSR as a designer. Small world. I was stoked to be in a poster magazine alongside many of our MX hero's.
