Before Carmichael and McGrath, there were the supercross legends of the past: Bob Hannah, Johnny O'Mara, Mike Bell, David Bailey, Ricky Johnson, Jeff Ward, Ron Lechien, Jeff Stanton and more. Now is your chance to catch a rare glimpse of how, over twenty years ago, these hisotric riders battled on the racetracks of yesterday to pioneer the sport of supercross and turn it into one of the most popular motor sports in the world today.

RJ and Bob all class, respect to RJ for telling it like it was and showing respect for what Hannah did and had done.

Hats off to Hannah for being so cordial acknowledging the faster Champ. He was cocky in his prime because he knew he ruled, but it's nice to see him like this. He did to DeCoster and others what these younger guys then did to him. Can't be 21 yrs old forever.....sigh

So much respect for each other, that's what you call true racing. Having fun at what you love doing. I respect them Rideras....

I was a kid when I went to this race. Johnson and Lechien were the only 2 riders to do the triple. Ron did it in the heat race. This was my very first supercross race. Then we managed to get our hands on a pass to get us on the floor after the race. Went in the tunnel and stood a few feet away from Rocky Johnson and his team. Pretty fricken awesome for first time experience of a 7th grader at the time.

The best thing about supercross racing from 85 to 87,was the battles for the top position,was something that doesn't always happen I mean from lap two ish,right to the end,hard clean racing,17 laps of that these guys earned their pay...when they had to battle each other corner to corner,thinking you got somebody,I like what David Bailey said racing Ricky was like racing Rocky Balboa..

Great to see races from way back when. Thanks for posting! That announcer is the WORST. He sounded terrible back then, and terrible now. Seeing supercross on tv was not as easy to come by back then as it is today, and it just ruined those few races we did see when this guy did his endless screaming and made all those inane comments. Why does he say it is "unbelievable!" when a rider keeps going forward to catch and pass the guy in front of him? It's a RACE! That's what the RACERS do; they pass and get passed. BELIEVE it, Mr. screaming worst announcer of the 80s guy!

the announcers were idiots back then. Especially when they would attempt to describe the sport of "motoRcross" to the fans. Most of the fans knew way more than the lame announcers.

Rick Johnson was a great face for the sport! classy and great personality. sucks that he broke his wrist and ended his run. he definitely would have won many more supercross races before McGrath arrived. I love that they didn't spew out their 500 sponsors and family every flipping podium interview back then.

I wish we could all get together and take back some of our riding areas, not everybody wants to push a baby in a stroller, or walk their dog, or hug a tree… Some of us still want to ride! I need somebody with a brain to start a petition on change.org or some thing, these were the best years of my life 1985 to 1990! Let’s take it back, let’s show the young generation how much fun there is to have.Riding shouldn’t make us outlaws! God dammit
