Awe Motocross. When I first got into the sport Ricky Johnson and Bob Hannah were my favorite riders (Bob Hannah was a tough guy who crashed a lot. I liked that). I loved Rick "Bad Boy" Johnson winning the '84 National Title on a Yamaha YZ250.
I looked up to the big boys but I was just a Young Buck on a Yamaha 60 looking to move up to the 80cc class and chase down Rick Simmet, Lowell Thomson, Jimmy Gaddis, Kyle Lewis and Buddy Antunez at Mini Olympics, Loretta Lynns and Ponca City.
I loved how Jean-Michael Bayle came in and destroyed Jeff Stantons reign (remember I was a Rick Johnson fan). Never liked McGrath. I hate how Damon Bradshaws career ended.
Does anyone ever think about George Holland, Erik KeHoe or Guy Cooper?
Out of the 3 little Fox Racing guys (Ricky Charmichael, Travis Pastrana and James Stewart) 2 are retired from AMA Racing (and Stewart no longer is in Fox Racing gear).
Awe yeah this 2009 SUPERCROSS Season should be a great one. Stewart on a Yamaha, Reed on a Suzuki, Honda having a powerhouse team once again, Kawasaki moving Villopoto up to the Big Bikes (just hope he doesn't become another Robbie Reynard) and Tim Ferry still chugging along and getting better with age.
WE HAVE THE GREATEST SPORT IN THE WORLD!
