I think one of the funnest things to watch in this sport is a kid on an 85 just killing it. Something about those little dudes and bikes hauling ass looks rad.
Is there another sport where fully grown men sit around and watch kids compete like in MX? I don't hear anyone talk about kids from other sports when they are young teens. A lot of these guys that are pro, some of us have been watching since they were under 10 years old. I think it's awesome.

Yeah for sure! There is just something l love about that age group and bike size. The sound of an 85 hauling the mail. I was introduced to the sport watching guys like Bogard, Carmichael, Johnny Marley, and Travis Elliot rip around Lake Whitney and Mosier in Tx on 85’s when I was younger. That’s where it all started with me. Nothing in my mind will ever compare to those times. It was pure motocross magic. I always watch the good 85cc classes at a race.

I got passed by Stewart at echeconnee (sp). I was 4th wide around a middle line in a big sweeper on a 250f. I heard a buzz, and there he went right around the outside while standing up. He was on a "100".

I will share, I opened milamcreek mx up in 07' my track, pretty damn fast myself. 06 rmz450 uphill and a kid on a cr85 was running me down. I didn't get passed much on my track. Then as he caught me on one of the uphills and we stayed in it going back down, he never hit the brakes as he went by I was like damn Brad Frace is freaking flyin.

Or maybe you embarrassed them in another way?

It was kind of an uphill special test that took about 40 minutes to complete and you had to do three times during the day...
Mostly very rough single tracks with lots of rocks, holes and roots...
I can tell you when you reached the top, you were spent.
Then you had to go back all the way down to the start, in a ski resort.
Many locals waited for us at the top with their downhill MTB, just to humiliate us...
And man, they sure did!
Bastards.

You had 200+ LBS on them, of course they were at an advantage.

Most kids should be kickin ass, Those 80's have some killer torque and being much lighter they can maneuver thru turns much faster giving them the advantage. by the time you catch them in the straight they hit another turn and BYE-BYE

Saddleback, 1981 or 1982, the tiered downhill of the national track. I’m on a 1979 Maico 400. Kid on a CR80 passes me going down the hill, on the gas. Found out later it was Mike Healy.

I'm with the OP. For me it was many moons ago at Baja Acres. I was on a CR500 and this snot nosed kid from Linden MI on an 80 made me feel like I was dragging an anchor Smile That day I knew I was old and slow and it reminded me that I was out there to have fun!

Kawasaki used to do a lot of contingency races here in north Alabama several years ago and Zack Bell use to win everything by a mile. We were at Deer Run one day in the supermini class and he had lapped me and as he came by me over the finish line table, he threw that supermini flat over the big table and I just couldn't believe how damn fast he was and how small he was at the time. I don't remember the class but he would pull holeshots on B riders(some on 250 2 bangers) on that supermini that day too.

I couldn't care less at defending myself at this point in my life but I do want to get a few things clear.

I DO NOT RIDE DIRT BIKES ANYMORE

I started racing locally in 2005, I went to Washougal and raced beginner and finished 4th.



After that I started racing locally at Piru MX in age group, but still didn't race anything like Golden State or Gold Cup

I went to Washougal and raced beginner again (even tho I wasn't racing beginner anymore) and finished 4th again... I remember pulling off and telling the kid in 3rd good race then asked if he races beginner usually and he laughed and said hell no. I don't have any pictures from that year at Washougal.

A few months later was Gold Cup and I had my first year racing Gold Cup with actual fast kids, and yeah I did finish top 5 in a few motos in 85 (12-13) and Supermini at Gold Cup, the most popular Southern California series at the time. So yeah, I did smoke a lot of old vet riders. Am I trying to say that I'm fast now? Absolutely not, most of you old guys would beat me now. but 10 years ago? Yeah I smoked old vet riders and it was hilarious.


Kudos to the late Matt Dawson for getting this photo published in Final Lap Magazine by the way ^^^





Can we please give the "aren't you supposed to be pro?" meme to rest? I don't ride nor think I will ever race again in my life. Go ahead and post the scrub picture if you want, I'll give you credit that's an absolutely terrible picture of me.

I don't really care about defending myself, and that's why I don't get sucked into these arguments like I did when I was younger, but if you're going to lie about me in order to get thumbs up on a post, then I will come out of the darkness and defend myself.

LaughingLaughing You are not special in the way you think you are. There were plenty of faster kids before, during, and after your illustrious career and I don't needvto know you to know that.

I don't care if you call me an "okay amateur rider", that's the truth, but I can't stand these idiots on here that make up lies on here. Yeah I talk shit, but I've never lied about anything I've done. Maybe that's the problem here...

Carry on, Vitards. Have fun!

In 2003 I had just started riding tracks and racing. In Saturday practice I got mixed up with a couple of fast preteens...PJ Larsen, Josh Thomas, and an 11 year old named Ryan Currie. These guys blew past me with such intensity it made me wonder what in the hell I was even doing out there. I was 19 at the time and was getting last place in the 125D class regularly.

PJ progressed really quickly and gained amateur kawi support eventually becoming a pro, Josh and Ryan were both awesome local A riders. A few years ago Josh got 3rd at Loretta's in +25 on a YZ250 two stroke.

I guess you have never watched the NFL life ? Video of kids in high school or pre wee football that does not look normal. I swear Shaun Taylor and Marcus Allen were kids that could have played in the NFL. Lol

So awesome of you to start off in your first sentence saying you could care less, then spend probably 20 or 30 minutes typing out a full defense that includes pictures. Listen, life is easy if you don't open your big mouth and constantly insert your foot. Trying to be funny or not, you come off as a tool then you laughably get defensive when people call you out for it. Sooner or later life will teach you that these awkward situations can be avoided by just not making that first stupid comment.

I got punted once by Vann Martin at the 3 Palms in Houston. I was on a yz250, and I kept hearing this throaty bike behind me, I kept looking back in the switch backs. Finally I came into a left hand turn, and bam! Off the track. Kid was fast

Well I just got me a 1980 YZ564 and plan on going to perris with it this weekend, and if I hear one of them pesky little buzz bomb bastards comin up on me, I'm gonna pin the throttle then dump the clutch right in from of him (or her) and blast their little punk a_s back to their daddy who's filming them from the parking lot....just before I roll over the top of a 2 foot jump.

Yeah barn...you tell em!
