The greatest days of motocross! See Kent Howerton, Billy Grossi, Marty Smith, the late Jim Pomeroy, Gary Jones, Warren Reid and many other great stars battle it out in rare footage from the 1970's! Then, flash forward in time, as these great riders throw it down again at a current day vintage motocross event!

Absolutely loved it. That was my life back in the 70s, racing and riding and always reading the magazines about my moto-x heros, such as DeCoster and Marty Smith. Thanks for the footage....

Howerton is just a likable champion.

Can you imagine how the riders today would cry and throw tantrums if they were faced with a *gasp!* water crossing?!

The list below is good. However, there must have been a CZ or two out there. Those and Maicos became very expensive, but both were top mounts until the end of the '70s. I used to race a CZ in that region (California) and there was no shortage of either of those.

There is a LOT more on the DVD itself. Lots of cool footage from Hangtown, Saddleback, Lake Sugartree and Rio Bravo.

Yeah, we used to have the most unpredictable conditions - "rain or shine" was the usual tag after an event announcement. As posters here no doubt realize, original MX was supposed to be a closed mile to two mile circuit over NATURAL terrain. An occassional jump might be added at local events to slow down the bikes, but GPs and InterAM events had zero artificial additions. It's all about money. Making MX into a stadium show by turning it into a pogo stick contest made money.

All the shit talking Hannah does about Howerton to this day I can't believe he has never gotten a punch in the face. Jim Pomeroy had to be the nicest guy ever

@thebalconyisclosed A good friend of mine who is like me an AHRMA member told me recently that Motocross Action had an expose' about how the FIM was bought some few years ago by a man who raised fees to such a degree that the factories have dropped out of MX and Roadrace and it is all now just rich people. That is why the Americans always win MX des Nations events. Greed has killed the FIM. Sad

@deaddoc Such a waste, and for what reason? It certainly doesn't do anything for the racing fans... makes me miss the good ol' days even more, knowing they are just one more giant step closer to never coming back...
