You think they ride rough now (Chicken & Damon)

Edited Date/Time 9/20/2012 8:27am
Check out the 3:33 mark for some truly homicidal riding. No wonder these guys hated each other. I think Damon was out of control, but Good God. This is like "okay, you're going to the hospital."

Thanks for the great post. I bet Chicken took Bradshaw off his Christmas card list after that.....

Insight for the modern day fan as to why one of the most revered riders of all time never won a big bike title! Damon lost his mind to anger while on the track too often especially when the Chicken was racing. It was really a shame because Bradshaw was truly a beast!

Time has changed. The equivalent gate nowadays would be impossible. In fact the AMA top 5-7 plus Pourcel, Musquin, Roczen. Xavier (Audouard) would have to sell his body like for ever to afford this, lol...

I'm interested in hearing why some of you think that was an intentional take out. It clearly was an accident.

I guess people see what they want to see. Bradshaw was simply along for the ride when his bike t-boned Chicken.

Maybe an accident that he didn't break Jeff's leg...lol. Maybe that was but it was caused by Damon seeing the red mist when he got near the Chicken!

Worst take ever!

I think it was an accident and the start of a bitter rivalry.

How about the infamous Vegas SX take out?

Wish they would go back to bales. IF nothing else it would make that throw the thing into the back of the Tundra more interesting. Those three wire bales can be heavy.

Really someone thinks todays riders are rough? How about anytime DeCoster and Hannah were on the track in 76'ish. Ok maybe it was just Bob.... I remember seeing knobbie marks all over the side of a Suzuki and a pipe mashed flat. The battle of New Orleans where the whole gate was trying to take out Pierre"Pepe"Karsmaker. Heck you can even put Hannah and Howerton in there too. When the AMA went to warn Hannah about aggressive riding he told them next time he gets near him he'll break his leg. The famous photo Jammer Weinert and DiStefano. Not even as far back how about Johnson and Lechien, Kiedrowski Larocco. Remember history doesn't start with your generation. This new group of tough riders allows a 47 year old part timer to show up at the roughest track and beat two thirds of them? Me thinks JT should bring back the pink gear.
