[QUOTE="duke, post: 21638, member: 16522"] I have some video of major MX races both here and abroad. (Gary Semics stuff and another source that escapes me right now). In seeing the way the riders rode their backs back then was true artistry. I have a copy of Brad Lackey's book on how to ride MX. And while somewhat dated, much of it is still applicable. There was no info on how to negotiate doubles since they werent really a concern per se in 1981. That would be moot for me anyway, since even when I dabble in modern MX, I refuse to attempt doubles ( thoughts of my family going hungry while my wife spoon feeds me is too much of a distraction). Lackey's points on braking and attacking turns,etc is still in vogue. The book was ahead of its time. I have had a few youngsters watch me practice and then approach me afterward voicing their intrigue over my riding style claiming that it does appear to be from the old school (70-80's here, not the 60's) I am saved when one of them then interjects, "Yea, but he was still passing people". I have also found the smoother approach easier on the bike. [/QUOTE]
