I remember watching this race as a 21 yr old, seems like yesterday. I miss the days when we knew almost every rider on the track. Magoo Chandler was my absolute favorite what a wild man he was. 🐾✌️🇺🇸
Dude, thank you! I've been trying to find this race forever. I remember watching this as a kid. I was at the 1986 USGP and I will never forget how Rick Johnson beat the world.
I remember going to Indian Dunes in 84 and 85 with my new 84 RM125, and at that time the Shadow Glen track had added a very gnarly triple jump that sadly had paralyzed a few guys. I had also been involved in another tragedy at the trails section there, when a neighborhood acquaintance of mine drove my 82 TT 250 off of a 250' cliff, which unfortunately and savagely took his life, and left a widow and two kids behind.
Have the book thanks to We Went Fast. Read every word. The narration is even better. Allows the mind to vision the past easier. Hope you continue this.
My mother My father and me my parents took me to this race it is awesome the memory of it a little history { about 2 rows up in the stands fight almost happened intoxicated people }
@@omardaniel1 I think I’ve seen them all. I would have to look but there’s one that’s kind of silly but it actually did show some of Rick’s best racing. He was the man who took Honda to the top and I just think he deserves a professional biography done on him
I don’t understand why this took so long to come up in my feed 1-24-24 maybe you’ve been a bad boy and actually said something you believe. All I do is watch Moto videos so someone doesn’t want our sport to look as wholesome as it really is because this is a great story ❤🙏💪
Exactly! Thats what’s going on but they need to have more incentive to ride for blood. Maybe a large bonus for 1,2 and 3 place. Football players have no reason to destroy themselves because they get the money up front and want to enjoy it. Also generation Z is now racing and has been for a while and they are just soft and fragile men. They come from the give me a hug generation instead of the I’ll kick your ass generation

Does anyone know the vhs this came on? This race was the last scene of the movie. I watched this over and over until the vhs didn’t work anymore. Love it
I had attended the Superbowl of Motocross at the LA Colosseum and the Rose Bowl Supercross In 1985, but this was my first time attending Anaheim. Greatest competitive race ever. Huge crowd because the LA Rams were still playing there, so it was the Pre-1994 earthquake wrap around football stadium. I made sure to see the Anaheim round every year for almost a decade.
David Bailey is one of the greatest athletes to have participated in the sport of motocross. On top of that he brought the technique of riding the bike to another level, not matched until the arrival of Jett Lawrence. I see so much of David Bailey in Jett Lawrence’s riding.
I remember watching him every weekend at the NESC MX races, he was light years ahead of everyone , he showed the rest of us what was possible and made the rest better.
I started going there (and racing a bit there) in 1985, and I would always bring a camera to the national Event. I like to look through them once in a while, the riders, the bikes, the crowd, the track. Butt, have you ever noticed that when you took a pic of a cute gals Butt, it never looks quite as good on film? Just an observation. :)
Rip Art ...what a legendary voice "bar to bar they go!" No wonder there used to be 70k people there watching the track is awesome , so much better than todays up and down hairpin tracks
