Perfect video! This man impressed me in the late 90s so much. Mike came to our local series in Utah. U.S.R.A events in this time. There was a series of rollers on a mid section of the Ogden OCA track. I’ve been here a few seasons at this point and always wondered if it was possible to connect these rollers into doubles of three. The momentum you would have to carry through the 90 degree corner before would be hard. Mike decided during an overkill of lead to second place decided to attempt my dream line. He came to the straight before the corner looked at the fence line crowd and held up two fingers. He then double doubled the first two on this lap. Next lap 3 fingers. And a beautiful execution. This was now his new line for this section. My friend Bryan then hired him to train him at Paris raceway in Cali. He is a dope person, and taught my friend Bryan that riding hard for local shops and displaying their stickers beats all stickers you can purchase. My friends CR now lost the factory pilot look of team Honda and he was seriously improving. Love from a fan Mike, thanks for just being a rider with heart.❤️

Met him at the Golden State Nationals around 1990. Seemed like a nice guy and was a sort of hero riding Euro bikes at the time. The tv guys really liked him because he wasn't typical and made a good story.

I tried to race Mike at Day in the Dirt, either 2001 or 2002.. he was already in his mid 30’s but was still the fastest guy on the track.

@@TwinkieTerror Perhaps WGP MX at the time was not a major motorsport event in Japan. This may be because Japan is closer to America and AMA's SX and National MX were released on satellite TV and FOX Video. However, there is a motocross magazine in Japan called Dirt Cool, which covers the All Japan MX, AMA, WGP, etc. and provides motocross information to dirt freaks. I don't know the details of why he made WGP his main battlefield, but he participated in the AMA and also appeared in MX and freestyle videos. I can't post images in this comment section, but the photo of Mike Healey published in the Japanese MX magazine Dirt Cool is awesome!

I might have remembered wrong but several decades ago the announcer asked Mike the difference between the open class bikes versus regular and he said: "On a 125 its like 'how fast can i get this thing going' and on an open class its 'how fast do I want to go'. RIP Mike.

I raced Mike a couple of times in Atlanta. He definitely was fast. He also was one of the first riders besides myself to use the lowering device for the start of the races. 1:00 dirt rider magazine did a half a page article on this in January 95. There is a picture of him on the bike with the device. I took it to Yamaha after that thinking no one could steal my idea but sure enough Chad Reed had it on his bike a few month later thanks Mr. Mike Healy rest in peace, bud

I started my racing days on a bike he rode as an amateur that had found its way to arkansas Oklahoma area in the mid 90s. It was an 84 rm 80 and always thought it was cool it was a bad boy professionals bike. Hate to hear this news. Too young

Me n my dad would rip on him because of the rock star image (tats, ear piercing, bandana) but he was doing it 25 years before everyone jumped on that look. A true OG champion. Race in paradise.
