First started riding at 15, weighing 120ibs me and my dad used to share bike and riding gear. He was about 240ibs so we bought body xl body armour, it was even too big for him, I swear we could of both fit into it. So I had that with full pink/purple astars gear that I chose. It was a horrendous look, And we always laugh about it when we look back. wouldn’t change it for anything Though.

Nor should you. Making that memory with your pops is worth more than gold. Lucky man.

No wait I take it back I have one way worse. I was at the iron Man gncc at a classic ironman mudder. About 18" of pure sloppy mud in the parking lot. I was riding my bike thru the lot after the race in jeans, up to the concession stands. In massive truck ruts and came to a stop. Went to put my foot down and there was a big hole there. I was about to fall into the side of a new dodge ram so I leaned and fell the other way with the bike falling on top of my leg pinning me down.

Mind you, hundreds of spectators are walking past me looking at me sitting up with a 450 pinning one of my legs down and I couldnt pull my leg out with how thick the mud was. Aftet a few minutes of people driving around me and walking past me a guy lifted it off me. Very bizarre

Got drunk with the track owners son till 4am night before a race. Next morning drunk as piss, I holeshot the A class moto. 3rd turn hit a table and just flew off the side of the track into a huge water/mud puddle. Like just the grip was sticking out the water. It was horrible. Me and the bike were completely covered in mud and water. That was a fun push back through the pits everyone staring. Head thumping lol good times

Looped out pulling a victory wheelie when I won my first 125 novice race.

Cracked that fender right the hell off, and then stood up and took a bow.

Here are a few of mine you can actually watch....

I must say that the move where I jump off the bike and run along side of it instead of high-siding after the guy in front of me cut in sharper than I expected was absolute genius....the fact that I take out another rider when I was doing my "hop-skip-jump" remount....priceless.

But that last manuver where I land a little front wheel too high with my butt planted at the back of the bike and get almost catapulted out of the little rodeo arena in Greely, Colorado was pure goon through and through.

1990, Ocala FL. Saturday practice before racing on Sunday. 1st warm up lap, went to jump a little double (like stupid small), crashed and dislocated my shoulder. Dad was pissed!! That was the longest hour and a half ride home ever.

Once at the old track in Newcastle PA, had to be maybe 86 or 87, I was on a 60. I was leading and on the last lap I did a no-footer on the last table top, crashed in the next corner. I honestly don't remember if I was able to get up for the win or not but I never heard the end of it from my dad and I never showboated again.

Paractice day at the old Elsinore track and l'd just put a new V-force reed set up on my 2000 RM. l kicked that damn bike for a half hour, thought l'd left a rag in the airbox, just super pissed and having a meltdown when l couldn't get my bike to start.

Then my buddy walks up and takes the exhaust wash plug out and says "there ya go". Right in front of wife, kids, other friends. Felt like such an ass.

Racing a national enduro a slower rider let me around him. He wasn’t that much slower so I wanted to put the hammer down and put some distance between us. Right after he let me go I clipped a tree ripping my left hand off the bars and went full whisky throttle about 15 ft into the woods

My first year racing may have been my gooniest,

I raced that first full year with my Dist-36 issued competition # 69L and had no idea why everyone thought i had the baddest race #?? I mean I dug how my Rat looked racy and all??

At the last race of that 8 race rookie season and at the break (between the trophy dash and main event) the promoting club always held a wheelie contest.
To date I had won them all on my wheelie happy Super Rat...but at this final race the club boldly had my name engraved on the trophy jinxing this rookie Popa-wheelie rider into a spectacular loop out to 720 cartwheel down the first straightSilly ...which also ended my competitive run attempts at Wheelie Kingdom.Huh

...Years latter my Triage hit a local race. My good friend Lance Burgess snuck our three MX pants to a leather shop for next race shenanigans.
Race morning Lance jumped in his first and vogued his posterior proudly with his newly dubbed nickname "POPEYE" stated and stitched.
Big D muscled his way into his tights next with "BRUTUS" burly labeled butt side.
I was not amused when our pitside laughed their ass' off after I pushed my getaway sticks into my own with a fresh "WHIMPY" wrapped on my own backside.

insult to injury later I would discover several 8mm films documenting the action of said shenanigans...still to endure.

Trying to race the pac west nationals with only one ride on a motocross track and about 3 rides on a 2 stroke under my belt. Lol. First generation racing woes. Pops almost signed me up for 80 age group till Jason Laudermilk's mom told him while at the sign up booth I would be better off racing 80 beginner 7-11. Needless to say I got smoked, Jason was actually the kid that won my class and he lapped me like 3 times.
It was a cold introduction to the game. I always had a begginer complex at that track when I would go back years later to practice. It used to be called Trulson's, then burntridge. Now it's just logged land I've heard. Anyways here's the shameless photo of my first start.

When i was 12 my parents took my brother and I to the local track to spectate. We had bikes at home but not motocross bikes. As the day wore on my parents could see how much my brother and I were getting into it. By around lunch time they asked if we would like to race. The answer was a resounding yes.
As we had only ridden around the house we didn't have any gear. Well there was this guy selling some blue fox 180 pants in my size. Dad paid the man and right there and then i ditched my shorts and pulled on my new pants. I spent the whole afternoon strutting around in my new pants with my sneakers and t shirt thinking I was top shit.
There is a photo at dad's place somewhere and I'm glad it's hidden in one of mums many photo albums.

Looping the bike out. Bashing my knee in the process. Was to stupid to wear knee pads/braces. Learned my lesson.

LOL. I did a one off race in the local college boy class. The gate dropped and my bike stalled at the gate. The gate came back up for them to drop schoolboy and my back tire was still behind the gate. So I had to wait and drop with schoolboy. It was the longest 20 seconds of my life.

Local Saturday night races, there was a slow flat 120* left hand turn before a double right in front of the packed grandstands....I drop into the inside rut, grab a handful of throttle and stab the clutch and shoot my YZ450 right out from under me. Bike was lying on the jump face and I was left standing there in the middle of the corner.

The crowd loved it.
