Miss seeing this segment done regularly on racer x. It's fun to see what these guys are up to after retiring from the sport. Not talking about the superstars but i'm interested in seeing the privateers that didn't quite make it, had to enter the real world, construction jobs, "one of us". It's a huge change in someones life, interesting to see how these guys handled it.

All good ones . I think Tedesco did one of those 125 races a year or two ago.

One guy I always wondered about was Jason "Wiz-Kid" Shirey (sp?), used to watch him battle with Jeff Willoh on 80's at Ascot.
Never heard/saw anything from Jason much after that.
I was just a kid, but I think I remember Jason winning the KX 60 intermission at Anaheim stadium. He was doubling the triple, which was huge in 1990.

I believe Mike Alessi doubled the triple on a 50. To this day I think he's the only KTM Junior SX kid to have done it. They might have put a stop to it after that but I have no idea.
Anyone have footage of that?

Mike did. I think in 97 at the Coliseum.
A couple other kids have as well, they are now told not to double the triple or finish line jumps. There was a group of kids at Anaheim 2 this year doubling into a rhythm section.

Caden Hadley did in the early 2000s as well, I think Baggett might of in ‘01 at A1, which I was in. I know a few of us hit two tables in rhythm lanes, we got told not to try any doubles. 
I’ve seen a couple kids over the years double stuff.

I know those kids can go big but honestly I'm glad they tell them not to do it. Nobody needs to see an itty bitty maimed on such a big stage. (It's not a good thing at anytime though).

I was thinking a good one would be with Greg Albertyn. Haven’t heard from him at all in years.

He's got his hands in a few pies. A friend of mine is partners with him in one venture and I've done some work for him in another. He's a smart guy and doing well.

Empty a bag of skittles into the toilet and then flush. It's like watching a five second long nascar race.

I thought the story was that Decoster is still working, because of bad investments in Gregs company?
