August 14th, 1983 I broke my collar bone, 3 ribs, broke my shoulder blade, broke my wrist and got a concussion all at the same time on a YZ250. But I healed up and raced again.
I guess its tough to make a Honda promotional video when a 16 year old kid on a Yamaha kicks your star riders ass! Just kidding around, I’m a big fan of O’Mara, Hannah and Bailey, but I was also racing a 1983 YZ125 at that time, was also 16 and a huge fan of LeChien! Very frustrating that they seemed to go out of their way to NOT film him kicking EVERYONE’s asses in the last two rounds of the year!
The Supercross season was only won by 2 points over Mark Barnett, who had a chance to repeat as champ that year! I think what cost Barnett was a DNF at an East Coast race.
