MXA has been the staple for over 50 years

Damn near everyone that enjoys, rides, follows, reports on MX has Jody to thank for the sports explosion during the 70's, and the later growth in the 90's and 2000's. Enjoy most of his articles, even the subtle braggadocio about education, his PhD,  and his published works. He also knew anyone worth knowing in our sport, and is thought highly of by most of them. This guy is the only magazine editor that I ever thought was Super Hunky's equal. Hoping for good news soon.

Bummer news. Whether you agree with Jody or not, you can't argue that the dude is moto to the core. He's been a solid part of the sport since the early 70's and has 100% helped to advance it to where it is today.... I hope nothing but the best for him....1 tooth up for his recovery

Hoping and praying for a good quality of life for Jody moving forward. One of the biggest icons of American motocross IMO. And yep, I went up 1 tooth many times!

Not much in this world scares the shit out of me but strokes would be right at the top of that list. Jody is a tough guy but strokes don't care how tough you are or think you are.

Been reading Jody since, 1980? My little brother basically taught himself to read on my MXA and Dirt Bike magazines. Prayers for both him and Sally. And thanks for all the memories over the years, Mr. Weisel.

I started reading his stuff in 1978/1979. He was literally part of my childhood. I even called him up in the late 1980s and he couldn't have been cooler.

He has secured a spot as a motocross icon forever. Prayers sent.

Horrible news, prayers for Jody and his family. He’s been a great stabilizing force in moto media, honest reviews year after year with no BS. I’ve read every issue since 1976, Jody is a living legend.

Prayers for Jodi and his family. I loved reading his article every month as a kid and still do!  Hoping for a full recovery.

He’s about as “Core Moto” as they come.

Get well soon Jody and stay strong. Wishing you and Sally all the love and strength. I remember racing Saturday Saddleback. Jody was ALWAYS there. I was there the day his 1978 YZ125 died and they took the picture of it laying on its side.

I really wish that he would have done an episode of the Whiskey Throttle Show a few years back. I think 3-4 years ago Ping was sort of in his prime for interviews like those and he did a great job of letting his guest talk. Ping said he’d tried to get him on several times but Jody just didn’t want to do interviews at all.

Sorry to hear, prayers for Jody and his wife. I've enjoyed MXA since the late 70's.
