Unbelievable; I never had any idea that motocross racing was that good back in the 1950s, I want more.

If I remember correctly, Dave Bickers competed at the Trans-Am race in Tulsa, Oklahoma which I attended in 1971. Shortly afterward I purchased a CZ 250 MX, which quickly proved to me that I would never be a motocrosser. But I loved that bike.

Mind-officially-BLOWN🤯. I had no idea they had gates of so many riders in the 50’s!! Amazing! I wish the tracks had remained predominantly natural in motocross, instead of the gladiatorial circus show we are developing it into today….

I couldn’t agree more …….something Missing from the sport ever since. Fans used to like the high speed bar banging action…..the supercorss stuff really is boring to watch after a few minutes and is one of the reasons of its decline imho

@@worldsnextsupercar4362 I had a '73 250, I believe. Weird thing is, I don't recall where it came from. Raced it at Carlsbad once, then ended up with new '77 RM250. I remember watching CZ supported riders practicing starts at Rawhide Raceway without using the clutch. My Montesa VR would have spit the gearbox on the ground. Wonder if Bert's is still around in LA Puenta, he used to spend time at the factory, then bring a bunch back. Miss the old days.
