come up from the ams....not that I didn't know who JMB and RJ anJW were....actually Wardy was my original favorite but damn.....I am 4 generations or more in now as a fan.....I always saw Wardy and RC in the pages of Dirt Bike mag.....then RC and Bubba in the early riding vids...RV was the first gen of internet vids.....I remember him and Albertyn rippin it up at Perris I believe while Alby was on a 250 and Rv a super mini. .....now to think it was gonna be forever to see AC race pro and here he is going into his second year.....Wardy is a good 25 years or more retired....RC is 8 years retired....RV will retire after next year supposedly.....damn time flys but I feel like I as a spectator have witnesses the BEST RACING anyone could possibly see......damn....just babbling here....witnessed in person many a RC/JS battles like Dilla, the Wick, Mt Morris Budds.....a shipload of des nations.....and also some lows like potential greats of Roncada, Fonseca, Justin Weeks, Robbie Reynard etc just disappear into the dust........ahhhhh

I know how you feel. It's crazy to go back and watch some of the old races and remember those eras.

Time sure does fly. It doesn't seem like RC's been retired 7-8 years already. That's just crazy.

ya......................time.

Seems like it accelerates.

The more that gets piled on, the quicker it goes.

I think I was 16, maybe 17, rode a streetbike to Unidilla, 1,100 miles in 2 days.
Snuck into the riders meeting and sat right between Jammin' Jimmy Weinert and Thorsten Hallman.

Was so awestruck I couldn't say a word.

Seems like it was just last year.

That's an awesome story! You're time explanation is spot on. It definitely goes faster the older we get.

All fucking redheads. Kinda pissed at my mom for having that stupid "I don't date soulless gingers" policy.

I'm with you... I remember seeing Bradshaw win a local race in NC a few weeks before going to Osaka and beating RJ.
And when that McGrath kid started winning. I knew that was a fluke, lol!

And all that old school makes me really appreciate what I see with AC actually coming in with some authority. He's not coming to play, he's coming to win.

I remember seeing Bradshaw race a white yz 85 and kick ass at Lorettas. Best racing that year was Mercedes and Lisa.
