I didn't see his name listed , but hasn't Terry Clark also passed on? I know he raced Desert but also raced the Nationals in the 70's.

Yeah, I noticed that most, if not all, of the riders born in the 40's, 50's, and 60's died before they hit 60. I saw one guy that passed at 37! WAY too young!

Nice job JW!!!

awesome.

and it's nice to watch a video without distracting/detracting music.

The music is familiar, but I don't think I've every been a big listener of fiddle and guitar instrumentals. Anyone know the name of the song?

You are correct.

BTW, would you be able to e mail me please the photo of Ryno looking over at you?

Can anyone recognize the people in the film clips at the beginning of the video? Someone at "Monsters of Motocross" said that the kid on the bicycle was a young David Bailey. And there is a kid in there that looks just like Tony DiStefano.

Guys,

Glad you liked the piece...That is a young David Bailey in there and you can see Gary Jones, Danny LaPorte, Marty Tripes, Evel Knieve and I think some more. We had fun working with Jody on this important piece.

Best,

Todd

Ever since I first saw this video I wonder who the people in the beginning were. With the help of my vintage riding buddies I patched together a decent list and then when the Motocross Files came on the other day it filled some gaps. I think I have completed most of the people in the intro (the whole search reminded me of trying to name all the people on the cover of the Beatles Sgt Peppers album).


The kid on the bicycle is David Bailey (saw this on Motocross Files).


The guy in the yellow shirt is Edison Dye (if you look close you can see that it is a Husqvarna jersey).


That is Torsten Hallman and Preston Petty (to Torsten's left) on the podium.


Bud Ekins is jumping the fence in the Great Escape (everybody already knew that).


Joel Robert is riding on the back of the minibike with a kid.


Don Jones is riding a Triumph up a hill in a plaid shirt and open face helmet (also spotted on the Motocross Files).


Malcolm Smith is smiling as always.


Bob Hannah can be spotted in a yellow jersey hitting a berm with a three-digit number.


The family photo of people standing behind the bike is Don, Gary and Dwayne Jones (saw this on Motocross Files).


That is Marty Tripes riding the old bike up a bank and standing in front of number 311x.


My friend said that he recognized the photo of the kid waving on the Hodaka gas tank as Danny LaPorte from a older Motocross Files.


Now, who is the fifth guy on the second row of Sergeant Peppers?

Hi,
Stumbled onto this site when I was thinking of Pete and looking to see if I could find anything on him, I knew him well, and wanted to correct the above. He was 34 when he died but not of cancer, he beat cancer. We all remember him well and he was loved. :]

I knew Pete, he lived around the corner. We used to go up to his track for practice, and what a track it was, or is. I still bring it up to everyone in the area and all my old friends. I thought he succumbed to stomach cancer, would you mind correcting me? THx.
