Rick created the half waffle grips, on that yellow Yamaha bike!! If you notice that he cut half the waffle off in this video you can see that!!

Yes and pro circuit, he put on the map, he added so much detail to this sport.

I hate to be a spoiler...but Hugh Parker did not take that picture of Ward's bike at Hollister Hills. I actually took the picture back when I was 17 yrs old in the pits at the '84 RedBud pro national with my Pentax K1000 35mm camera. I was a huge Wardy fan and took other pics of him that day during the races and have posted a few of them on VitalMX. Mr. Parker is very Blessed to own that amazing piece of MX history.

I have a photo I took of Ward on the 84 bike at the Gainesville National. I'd like to share with Hugh. How can I get in touch with him?

What book are they referring to near the end? I don't remember Jobe riding for Kawasaki. Saw him on a factory Suzuki early in his career at Unadilla 250 GP a long time ago. RIP

@leswakeham3596 Жыл бұрын

Jobe wanted to ride the 500 class as he achieved his goal of being 250 world champ, however as Suzuki dropped their 500 after Brad Lackey's world championship victory in 1984. Jobe had no other choice at Suzuki but to go elsewhere, Kawasaki picked him up to chase for the premier title. Georges achieved runner-up in the 500 title in his second year at Kawasaki (1986).
