I raced here back in ‘75, 250 amateur. What a great track.

Thank you so much for this video! I remember that oval track. My dad and rose there 2-3 weekends a month, and we rode from the entrance to the top of the Matterhorn to watch. Then over to the oval track to warm up, then headed down to the TT track. I feel so fortunate to have grown up within a mile and a half as the crow flys from there. I am back here now and drive by all the time. Great memories. Thank you ❤

Wow that is Museum quality!!! I am completely envious of you owning that machine.

Yep.... I was there....all the time...!!! I loved to see how far I could fly off that jump. It was good practice because my first motocross race at a professional track was Arizona Cycle Park... with that HUGE down hill. I was only 15 years old... but would fly 3/4 way down. Coming up to that jump ... It was like going off a sky jump.... I would give a little tug on the front end. Once I was in the air... I would shift up to the next gear ... so when I landed... the engine was ready for the added speed gain from flying most of the way down that hill. It was such a great place to grow up and we had all the freedom in the world to ride just about anywhere we wanted. Here is a little vid I have from back then... First part just practicing... I'm on the Yamaha 125 and 250.. Then footage from Arizona Cycle Park...Thanks for posting!!! th-cam.com/video/mKti3QelhHA/w-d-xo.html

Good stuff.

Good one. I bought one just like it. Fair shape and runs. Need spokes or a rear wheel. Not as nice as yours but I'm working on it.

บ้านเรามีหรือป่าวครับ

Got any old baja bug races from saddleback same ish year

I remember reading about this in MXA. I think I still have the issue

I actually rode at this park and the tracks. Not raced, just rode. How freakin old am I!!! Damn. I remember the Matterhorn looked like a small Everest. I recall they had like a plaque of sorts of people who made it. Rickman Triumphs sounded great going up. Days when 4 inches of travel in the rear was plush.

I was at that race and really had a great time. I flagged at that track a few times and raced 125 and open class (beginner) a few times. Great place. Even met what may be the current owner of that track doing a service call/install when I worked with an IT service provider more than a decade back.

What a gloomy day, I guess I missed the sun shine at saddleback.

pov helmet cam wide angle nausea cam videos all look exactly the same and are terrible and provide No information at all.

Beautiful bikes ! I'm just starting to restore a 1974 model , anyone in UK have any spares or a bike for sale ?

we were so hard core we even lugged those old metal trash cans full of water tout there to water the berms ... what a hoot

Bob Hannah #4 looking awesome.

HAS IT EVER SEEN THE DIRT?????????????????????? LOL...

Nice bike

hi Ron!

Nice bike, Good video, shame about the sound, couldn,t hear a thing you said, such a shame.

A million weekends spent there riding back in the late 1970's and early 80's. What a great time to live in Scottsdale.

Supermoto started right there with this event....

gotta love those old yz's they looked badass!

Nice restoration bud ! Where did you get the frame paint for the Pe ?

Shes a beauty. Wish you could up the volumne as I could not hear anything you were saying. I now have 4 of these rascals that I need to restore. Vrooommmmmm, vrooooom.....gotta love these old 2 strokes.

That's awesome!!! Thank you for sharing this. Unreal motocross history in arizona. Love it.

Nice vid! That was a really nice track back then suicide hill was the big jump there, it was big when they first built it. Tony D had that track dialed that day .

Grab a couple DoubleTake mirrors if you're going to be doing much offroad. I have them on my 99 SE and like them.

What did you get for it? $ ?

Just bought one myself :-} Its a 73. finished putting the lights back on it today. Had it bored to 71mm and put a new piston in it now its one kick and it fires right up.

That bike looks great!! No restoration needs! That old lady is ready for a living room!

Nice very nice mate.

I plan to. I had shoulder surgery and still on the mend plus I have not got the Oregon M/C license yet? I am using a Go-Pro knock off, it is a SJ cam SJ4000 it is good for the money. It came with everything for 99.00 dollars.

You should film some more, this is great footage. What headcam are you using?

Small World Scandle68.. I moved from Lubbock to Tucson in '81 and raced there until '83. I worked at Stovall's Yamaha in Lubbock during Shobert's early days doing set ups, taking out the garbage ect.. Your right about Canyon with the off cambers and general size - it looked a lot bigger back then! Great video - thanks for sharing.

I'm from Lubbock, Tx and I have fond memories of racing on that track once in the summer of 1980. We were in Phoenix visiting relatives and my dad hauled my bike and gear with us with the intent to race somewhere during our visit. I turned 12 years old while we were there and we found out about Canyon Raceway who was having races that weekend. I was one of the best 80cc motocross riders in my little area out here in west Texas and had a pretty hot little DG prepped Yamaha YZ 80. We showed up, signed up, and I raced against kids I had never seen on thar ultra hot Arizona August day. I did pretty well, but not like at home. Phoenix and the Valley were much bigger than where I was from, so the level of competition was higher.as I entered the "A" class or whatever it was called (the top 80cc class). I believe I was 6th or 7th. Right in that area. The gate was packed too. I remember dealing with good sized rocks on the track, which were a real bitch when you're on a small bike. I had never seen that on tracks in my area. Also it was very up, down, and with off camber turns. I was use to the flatter and simpler tracks I had grown up racing on in west Texas. It was tough. The heat was killer. There were some really fast boys there. A tough day, but fun and a fond memory.

Amazing was just ripping there a week ago. Broke my back and sprained my neck hitting a kicker out there awhile back..

Looking good Suzuki Dave!

How neat is that? You have the whole place to yourself? I like the area and the conditions, be great on any bike! Thanks for the video! Mike XR.
