McGRATH V EMIG. Should have been McGRATHs year again, but injury & EMIG continually biting at his heels made for an exiting & action packed 1996 season to the end. Watch the Full events of the '96 Series.

The best decade for MX. I miss watching and listening to 2 strokes rip the track. Oh yeah and the smell. Thanks for posting

Still lots of 2 smokers in woods racing. Look into so hare scrambles or some gp format racing near you. But yes best decade in mx.

Thanks for sharing these old MX videos! I was at the 1996 Glen Helen National. I remember it being over 100 degrees and super dusty.

I was at the Hangtown race. As you can see, those were still the days when you drove up to the booth and paid for everybody in the vehicle and then parked around the track. I hid under a pile of gear bags in the back of my buddy's van and got in for free lol. It was sooo f^*king hot that day. Still have some cool snaps I took of Mc in action here :)

Not sure of the year but was at the Budds Creek national and saw Emig leading. He had his bike YZ ?125? screaming!!! He was shifting - not letting off the gas. His competition only a few yards behind him.

I loved the sand eventually and got pretty good in it too. But later, I went to a private track in Michigan (Last name Baird), that was a old, never groomed tack that must have had 10 years from 10 guys doing laps. Whoops as high as your bars, in all the wrong places. :) I could have gotten good on that pretty old, partially grown in track, (Nobody rode it for about 5 years it looked), if I would have gone back a dozen times. No USA pro would ride it today, I know that. I think I got good in sand because I was not scared at all to fall in it, so I hung it out more, and the speed started coming.

No one crashed more than Albertyn in the mid to lates 90's. Not even RC in '99. Typical Glen Helen back in the 90's too: mostly hardpack and very dusty. MC was just killing everyone that year until he got hurt, but Emig was riding really well the second half of the season. I was not a fan of Emig and his crossing the track or chopping people off on jumps to block them. Thats how you seriously hurt other riders
