Best era of MX/SX was late 70s early 80s we know we were there and are still here now. The money in the sport and professionalism with the factory rigs and set ups is pretty cool but the racing is not even close. You young punks need to realize you missed the golden age of MX when you could make a fake pit pass and hang out with the riders and teams and get right next to the track during a race, the list goes on. And turn off that video game and get a job !! Wink Wink

I have gone back and watched races both indoors and out from that era. I also lived the late 90’s early 2000’s hay days. Our sport was a total joke back then. Driving vans and box trucks all over the county making jack shit for money having tracks built by any joe blow who volunteered his time and maybe making the highlights on tv 2 weeks after the race. I loved the McGrath era and thought it was the best thing ever until going back and watching it now. Just because a bunch of old timers talked shit on the line and would spear each other every opportunity they had doesn’t make it better. Bob Hannah rode junk equipment on tracks not fit to be a modern vet track. I really don’t give a shit what he has to say about the modern sport. As far as getting back to the video games I’ll leave that one up to maverick. All the evidence I need to prove this sport is 100% better is in the photos in this thread.

Saying the racing from that era was better is like saying the 1903 version of the Wright brothers plane is what we should use to dog fight in modern war.... there was nothing attractive about guys in crappy gear jumping 40’ jumps front wheel high. ? I get tired of this “back in our day” B.S.

Hannah rode the trickest, most advanced, one off hand built works of art this sport has ever seen.

The vans and traveling is one of the things that made the sport better and provided all the great stories. And factory riders showed up at local races to steal the purse money and get in some practice.

The tracks ? Go back a few posts to the photo of Hannah at Unadilla. That's an actual motocross track with real bumps and everything. And spectators could actual view the racing up close and personal. And local racers didn't complain to the track operator about track prep. We were just
Happy ( super pumped ) to go racing.

Millions of dirt bikes were being sold and nobody talked about the decline of the sport or how to get more people involved. If the sport was 100% better there would be 10 different brand bikes on the start line and 500 entrants at local tracks all over CA every weekend. And night races Tues, Wed, Thurs. FRI nites.

Yes, the 70s and 80s were definately the best time for this sort. Like lostboy819 said, You missed the Golden age of MX.
It's not your fault. You don't know what you don't know.
