Amazing he was able to organize his own team for awhile. Even attracting Grant Langston to his team. Lawrence was/is trully a talented rider.

KTM is putting thier money where thier mouth is. First with hiring Decoster then with hiring Dungey. The formula worked in 2010 on a yellow bike. That year there was no Stewart and no Villopoto. One thing is for sure, both RD's are hard workers, extremely focused and dedicated. Best of luck to Team Orange.

It appears that being a privateer in MX/SX is becoming the new normal. One reason may be because of the inflated salaries the top tier riders are demanding. Remember the days when factory Honda had Bayle, Stanton and Johnson under the same tent?

Mike Alessi has a great work ethic. Hope the investment pays off for him.

Vuillemin, you seem like a really cool dude. You've got talent, as seen on a bike. You've got leadership, as seen as team manager. You're social, as seen by your interaction with Vital and the neighbor that used to live by you who posted on this thread. And, you don't seem to take yourself to serious. Vuillemin, you are a...

Foreman did become champ that year at 45yrs old. Oldest champ in boxing history.

Could be like George Foreman entering the boxing ring again in 1994.

Awesome trip down memory lane with those pics. Stanton is the epidemy of hard work and dedication. We still quote him today. During his battle with Bradshaw for the SX title he said during an interview "consistency is the key." Hard to imagine Johnson, Stanton and Bayle all under the Honda tent during the late 80's and early 90's.

Sweet collection of pics. Chicken was always fun to watch. I remember my dad and I studying old film of him riding up ridges on his KX.

Sad indeed. Hope their empolyees can land on thier feet.

Great pic. Decoster is a true American success story. He immigrated to this country with a skill, a passion and a desire to work hard to make himself and this country better. Ultimately the USA and the MX industry is better because of Roger Decoster.

WOW! Nice pair man. Love how the 1990 is stock including the pipe. You are a blessed man with a pair of CR's like that.

" These things weren't even popular when they were new. The bike wasn't good." Jeff Ward in 1989 & 1990, Mike Kiedrowski in1992 and Mike Larocco in 1993 may disagree with your statement after they won the 500 MX championships. Also, Larry Rosseler, Danny LaPorte, Pual Krause, Ted Hunnicutt, Danny Hamel, Garth Sweetland, Paul Ostbo, Ty Davis and Marty Smith...

You do a good job riding that beast. Love the sound and the acceleration from a big bore 2-stroke.

WOW! Short is an all around good dude. Both Brooks and McGrath are proven champions, either as a rider or a team manager. Good luck Short.

Congrats Malcolm. Great to see that he will be racing both indoors and outdoors. He seems to have both a good work ethic and attitude.

You know, free market principles are out the door when banks/businesses are to big to fail.

Ture capitalism in the good old US of A.

Holy smokes!!!! That is a sweet collection.

OCC's story is really a symbol of the boom and spend times of the 2000's. Sorry Senior, the party's over.
