Marty Smith 

Hannah.  He was the Yamaha man for years when I was a kid, then the switch to red.  Gotta understand I was in my 3rd year of Pee Wee's when he switched, so he was my first real interest in riding red.  Although that never happened for me, the KX 60 came out.....

Dave Thorpe. According to the gods of motocross, the world's fastest novice.

John Natalie

Marty Smith, those Red RC125's were the bike of dreams back in the day

Marty Smith 1st David Bailey close 2nd

RJ!

16 years old...Rio Bravo...for reasons I'll never understand...Marty took me and my friend under his wing for the weekend.  Everybody was at the Holiday Inn.  I was shittin' in tall cotton fellas...I ain't kiddin'.  RIP you stud.

Marty Smith!!

Growing up in the UK, it was hard to look past Thorpe but as a kid there was only one rider that anyone wanted to be, to wear the same kit as and ride the same bike…

Has to be RJ. I think I wore the tape out on my VHS copy of Motovation!

Windham, Carmichael, Ezra Lusk, and Tallon Vohland (I loved those fmf Hondas as a little kid).

teen idol for sure!

I gotta add...when I was stationed in England back in the '70's...I'd go over to John Banks shop in Bury St Edmunds and watch him burn laps on his proto XR's.  Dude was a thumper beast.

USA: Heath Vos & Mike Larocco (due to the old MX Games)
Europe:  Stefan Everts - JM Bayle (but he's also USA off course).
