Tasteful. Thank you for not feeling the need to add heavy metal/grunge/whatever the heck as a soundtrack. Great footage of the greatest era.

The music fit perfectly. Can never get enough of seeing the #1 plate.

Classic. It sends a chill through me and makes a little misty eyed. Its okay because I'm going riding tomorrow and I'm 53 years old!

I was there at some of these races ,we lived in River Ridge, we went to watch Marty Smith and Tommy Croft, I took pics of them , ah the good ole days...

Marty was truly one of the greats of our sport.

I raced this weekend at this track for the nationals on my first mr50 won my class my first national championship 🙏 great memories

This is honestly one of the coolest videos I've ever seen in my life. I just watched it with my 6-year-old son

I was there! Best of times for sure! Thanks, for the video!

wanna know whats cool,, I lived in Waggaman,, that's right during those years we just walked three blocks to the river levee,, down by the convenience store right there on river road.. my grandparents ran a concession stand during those races,, all weekend we got to be there way before the races started.. seen plenty of dirt fly,, bikes scream and racers soar....those were the days before the super dome.. my cousins still live in that lil place..I was there in the summers as a teenager spending the summers with my grandparents,,I just showed my second cousin this video and the other ones of the dirt tracs behind the levee,, and all he wants to be is a dirt bike racer ,, he had no idea how an old grandma (I'm 61 now) could experience some awesome things,, I guess kids nowadays think dirt bike racing only happened in their lifetime..Good ol Waggaman...life is still good..

I raced there for years before moving to California. I loved that track. It was right on the Mississippi River.

RIP Marty Smith

Great old school pictures of dirt track in waggaman la. sure do miss this old track...

I was there back then .That track by the mississippi river was a death defying challenge .

Thank you I was just sharing that with my 6-year-old son that is just beautiful

love old vintage motocross videos. this is a very good one.

That's some excellent footage. I was at Waggaman for one of the Nationals race days in 1976. I was there with the crew that shot the film "One Chance to Win".

I remember riding that track. The first time it scared the crap out of me. It was a fast track. If you were going too fast out of the River bed you would blow the next turn. The jump would give you wings if you hit it too fast. What great memories I have of those years riding a Bultaco.

The best dirt my knobbies ever touched. Deep soft loam where you could drift a side slide for what seemed like forever. Banging a berm was like hitting a cloud. 30' high levees made for great aerobatic jumps if you wanted to show off. Raced there in 74/75 in 125/250 expert class.

Beautiful!! Thank you so much!!!

Yes Honda wanted my lil brother to ride for them . We used to ride our motorcycles there when the track wasnt being used . Fun times .

Wow! I remember racing on this track back in the 70’s. XR 75 and then a YZ 100. Never to the level of these guys tho. Although I did get to see them race. Track was located on the batchure of the Mississippi River. Marty Smith was the man to beat back then in the 125 class.

♥♥♥♥♥....Old MOTOCROSS ....♥♥♥...díky díky díky !!!! :) :*

We didn't know anything. We were kids. We thought days like that would last forever, and get better. I think they could have. What kid can afford a 13 grand bike on his own?

I haven’t been behind that levee since ohmaybe 1975 it’s probably been washed away over the years that doesn’t mean anything nowadays tho

I don’t know who owns the batture either

I raced there. 100cc yamaha

Real Moto back then ! look at Today…Cheezy Cheese Ball Corporate Puke
