This channel is for you to enjoy some motocross videos shot and edited by the Professor. You will also see video as taken the way I saw it. Plus important tips on how you can become a better, safer and faster rider. If you like the videos please share with others. I want everyone to know they are here as not many do.
These were proper motocross tracks , so many different lines could be taken unlike today's mainly flat manicured tracks with a table top every 150 yards.
I love the Professor's videos...to me this is what motocross is all about; there's nothing in the world like the sound of two-strokes getting after it...
Yes back then it was motocross natural terrain, now days I'd call it some kind of track racing. Hey I took your mx class at Plymouth near Sacramento back in the 70's and havestill the certificate you gave out.
Modern riders say this early 12" of suspension is soft. But this is when 12" of suspension travel was used for the bumps on the track, as the jumps were not that big yet. Today, they are set up for the huge jumps, but can't keep their wheels on the ground in the smaller, (but faster) bumps, when they form. I see a lot of deflection today in the chatter, that this old soft suspension would soak up IMO.

There's something about the racing during the late 70's and early 80's that really gets me going. We didn't know how good we had it. So cool to see David honing his skills. It wasn't long after this that he became a dominant force.
I got 2 friends who were there, 1 from Frankfurt ny , the other from Binghamton ny , I myself have been here many times, I was in Watkins Glen ny, for several years.
Travis was so smooth. He could've easily been on Carmichael's level if he focused on racing, but I know freestyle was more his thing and I'd say that worked out pretty well for him.
I can’t believe it’s been 40 years. I saw this race live right after graduating high school in 84. I saw every race live from 1980 to 1986. A bit of the old track still sits there buried below an industrial park.
I forgot what real motocross sounded like. No wonder I haven't attended a MX/SX race in 10 years. Thanks, AMA, for F-ing up a great sport with those potato farting 4 strokes. Nothing beats the exhilaration and raw sounds of 250 two strokes.
I love seeing this video but it also makes me sad. What happened with 4 strokes coming in ruined the sport. The sound of the 2 stroke of all sizes is just so important and the key money maker for all manufacturers and promotion but they are to damn stupid to see it. This has nothing to do with emissions.Even if they sold 5 times the amount of dirt bikes it would even come close to the damage cars are doing and the cars don’t even need the hp and that’s what gets me. 150hp car could carry 4 fat people easily yet they are double the hp now. Makes no sense at all
