Remember when they had weeks to edit the coverage? The product kicked ass.

Couple of Questions:

1. Bob More and Trampas Parker - did they ever race in the U.S., or did the go from Amateur straight to the World Championships? This seems uncommon now, if that's what they did. Usually it's the opposite, guys head over to the GP series once their careers here start to diminish.

2. Schmidt was pulled off the track by the Ref., but did he eventually win the title that year?

Webster Dictionary should replace the definition of motocross with the URL of this video.

A gem indeed despite the constant GP bashing by the commentators the whole way through lol.

A year later the two young guns Everts and Albertyn joined the class, as did Kurt Nicoll who stepped down from the 500cc class - I still have a compilation of the whole 1993 series (and full coverage of the 1993 British GP) on video.

But anyway cool vid. Anyone else think the track looks much rougher back in those days?

1. No offence, but Peter Iven has possible the worst riding style ever to grace GPs.

2. Never raced there but that track looks like it should be grippy, but seems in reality to be really slick.

3. I think all modern tracks cut up less than back then. Why's that? Suspension? Too much grading?
4. 'Robert Herring' = Rob Herring = 'Rubber Ring' as he was known in the UK. Smile

Great video, just epitomises what real motocross is(was) all about. Nothing better than a natural, grassy Unadilla track!

Mike Healey and Jeff Stanton almost fought over Stanton disparaging U.S. riders who went to ride the World Championships, according to Larry Miers

Hey Scottie, is there any way you know of to embed a video without a posted link?

I've tried finding the code, but haven't had any luck particularly with flash videos

Great memories there! Sad to see Donny talking about telling his kids and grand kids about winning the world title. Gives us all a bit of perspective.

Trampas Parker won a LL title or two, he ended up in Europe as a mechanic for Billy Lisles, then somehow got a ride as a rider (I don't remember how). Bob Moore had some success as a 125 pro before going to Europe.
