First "Jody's Box" I remember reading was at the grocery store Mag rack while mom was shopping.

It was about 1975 and was about his transition from surfing to Motocross. Factory hodaka rider and all.

There have been so many awesome, funny, and sarcastic ones over the years.

I have been saying for 20 years they need to put them all in a book and make them available.

It is a crime that newcomers can't learn about the sport, and what it was in the past in some cases from his insights.

An entire column about deciding whether to change lines because there was something shiny in a corner, and the internal conversation that finally decided it must be glare off a tear off, only to crash because he hit a silencer.

How about "chicken bones ruined my dog"?

and then some columns that were deeply emotional, like about his late father.

Two sincere wished:

Get well soon Jody.

Somebody please get them to put all his columns in a special edition MXA or a book form.

Same goes for Ricks "From the Saddle"  columns.   I thought at one point when Rick passed someone on VItal was helping his daughter to convert all his columns from some oddball digital format.     ...but nothing ever surfaced.

Yes you did! Do you need it back? (I don't think I have the actual CD media. But I do have the contents).
