Only time I’ve been on a track with Pro’s was the Carlsbad Christmas Gran Prix’s. One year Travis and McGrath both raced it. I got passed more than once by both of them. The first time was MC, I didn’t hear him coming and he went by so fast it actually made me jump and go “FUCK !!” Holy shit ! My wife went that year. I saw TP and MC in the pits and knew they be coming by at some point so I told her to try and get a picture with either of them behind me for...

Years ago at my ex local track they had this small step on step off type obstacle out of a crested left hander that some of us could sweep a little wider and quad. Kirk Gibbs was there riding the australian factory ktm 450 and cleared it straight up the inside. I didn’t know he was there until we are both mid air and nearly rubbing plastic. Scared the crap out of me and he just continued on his merry way ripping in what sounded like 5th gear his bike was so quiet and smooth.

Let’s see … 1. I was on my 87 CR125 and Rex Staten knocking my beginner ass over in a corner at Canyon Raceway and laughing. 2. Getting passed by Mercedes Gonzales like i was standing still in 1990 at canyon raceway… i was on my 1989 CR125. 3. Same day as above Jimmy Button was hammering on his prior to release to public Honda of Huston 1990 CR125… i was amazed that he hit a section of 5 small about 2 foot tall singles too far apart to double and he would up shift on every landing which at...

Before the MXON in Holland in 2019 I drove myself over in a beat up old van with my bike in the back in what was my first time ever leaving my home country as a 21 year old. I'd been riding 4 years, had raced enduro before and was competent enough to stay out of the way. My first ever ride on a sand track was at Lommel on an enduro bike, 5 days before the Nations, with the track left rough for the pros to train. At the whole track that day there were two other riders that...

Back in the late 80's-early 90's maybe. (before big training compounds) Between Daytona SX / Gatorback National / Atlanta the Pro's stayed in FLA for the week. We're riding some shit hole practice track in Ocala / the track was in an abandoned sub-division near Ocala....it was free lol. Three factory Honda cube vans pull up, 3 rental cars with JMB, RJ, Stanton come a little later. Being the local Canadian expert/Pro's we figured we'd share the track ! ! Yeh, holy shit balls......NOPE. It was full on Pro vs Joe. Until u stand at the side of a bombed...

I have two. First was late fall 1990 I was at Brown City MX in Michigan. there was a big wide 180 degree corner. You kind of went uphill into the corner and it was fairly sandy. During practice I was riding awesome, and I was going into the corner and timed my sit down after the last breaking bump almost perfectly. No man in the world could have entered that corner any better. Before I had let off the brakes Brian Swink (on a Kawasaki) went past me on the outside like I had an anchor out. Before I...

It's the Holiday Season and time to have work parties with those "lovely co-workers" as well as with family and friends. I'm sure we can all relate to another gem from Super Hunky. THE PARTY By Rick Sieman/September 1981/Dirt Bike (Notes: Any of this party conversation ring a bell with you?) “ Say , this is a great party, isn't it?” “Huh? Oh, yes. Swell.” “Hey, my name is Parker Westley. You can call me Wes. I'm into real estate and financial management. How about you?” “I'm a welder. I just keep busy making two things into one thing.

People that think he would “maybe” qualify are hilarious. Starling made 450 mains on a 250. Joey would be close to, or in the top 10.

From our discussion in the Sexton thread...tho, it actually belongs in here... Joey Bridges wrote: I've said it before, sexton, Tomac, and Webb, always play the smart points game. Not necessarily going all out for a win every night. That may not work too well when you have someone out there who is primed to win every time the gate drops. He may not win them all, but only a fool would think Jett won't win most of the main events, and the points that go with it. Hunter's definitely going to throw a wrench into the points race as...

Starts are the main reason, unless he just wants to cruise around.

At least 6, the rubbing in the 1st half is going to nuts, unless Jett gets starts. Looking at Maverick's awesome stats, how could you not wish for at least 6, maybe 8. Prado will mess up some plans, so much talent in the 450 class, combined with egos/expectations. What a season it should be.
