Well, Einstein, if he was fast enough to place top 3 in SX, I'd bet he'd quit the outdoors too.

Well JT he's not fast enough to qualify top three in sx anymore, but when he was fast enough he didn't quit riding outdoors. Thats why he has a real following of people so many years later. He sacked up when it was his time and did what was right for the sport.

I thought he was retired well before anyone had any "supercross only" contracts. Didn't McGrath get his first one in 1998 or 1999? So, basically, for Bradshaw, he never had a supercross-only contract because NO ONE did back then.
Wow your ability to state the obvious is amazing. If Damon wanted to ride sx only he could have. Just as McGrath did.

Thank you for posting that vid Bobby.

I wrenched for Steve Herman at the SX East coast rounds in 1991 and since moving to Charlotte 5 years ago had not been able to find the stadium.....I just remembered the view of up town sky scrapers being so close.....when the announcer said Memorial stadium....google put the pieces together.

No, he couldn't have. When Jeremy McGrath made that decision, it was controversial, and he was a five-time supercross champ at that point. Bradshaw was a no-time supercross champ. AND Bradshaw retired before any supercross-only stuff popped up.

If Bradshaw shows up for one or all the nationals then I'd love to see it.

What if the guy gets 37th at every round? That's better than 90% of the local pros all over the country could do. And this guy just up and decides at 35 (ish) years old that he wants to go back and ride pro nationals. The guy's got more talent in his nose hair than all but a scant few here on this board ever dreamed of.

Pretty amazing that a 35+ ex pro is putting in the effort to race the AMA Outdoor Pro Nationals just for the love of the sport. Very refreshing in this day and age when our top pros give up on the outdoors due to the work vs money ratio.
Bradshaw is core.

He wasn't racing for friends.

Bradshaw is one of the baddest MOFO's to ever throw a leg over a bike. Only other guy I have ever seen ride with as much FIRE as him is Carmicheal.

These new pro's barely even know who he is. I asked a up and coming soon to be national rider about him and he said " Not sure how he would do but he was a bad back in the day" lol

There's a reason he never won a major title, but managed to have one of the biggest followings. Man, he was a bad dude. Always raced to win......ironically, his strength and weakness.

I seriously think if his heart is in it he could run top 10 in the nationals regulary. There was a time when he was the fastest in the world....and he isn't that old now.

Dude, Im stoked to see him out there! He was my boy back in the day! I remember watching him school fools at Budds Creek on a WR in the 500 class!

Awesome mudder! If it rains at a national and its a slopfest, I say he is a threat for the podium no doubt.

If any of you will be at the seattle, salt lake, or vegas rounds stop by the ti-lube racing semi and say hi to him. He will be driving the rig the rest of the sx season.

He's 36 or 37. He went pro late 88' when he was 16. But looks like he has taken pretty good care of himself.

You really believe that? That would be impressive for sure, but maybe a bit too optimistic? I'm guessing maybe 15-20? I don't know, and we all know you are the expert in these matters. Smile But some people loose a lot of speed just after some months of absence, and this guy have been away for a decade...

Time will tell...

Yes time will tell......I say we make a bet. Me and you....If Damon races and in the first 3 races he finishes 5th-10th at least twice you have to run my profile pic in your profile for a month. .....If in the first 3 races he finishes 15th-20th twice I will run your profile pic in my profile for a month. ( or one of you on a bike....nothing like JB 19 likes little boys or anything)

Look guys you need to ask no spin zone what he has told Damon he can and can't run. No spin seems to know exactly what damon can and cant do.
