"Ronnie, you are known for having a very smooth riding style. How did you get that smooth style?" "Well, I don't like any kind of other exercise, so when I get tired on the bike, instead of going to a gym or something, I just figure out how to ride and not get tired." JMB did the same thing.

Ward was a such a hard worker his regiment got him where he is the smallest guy and wins a 500 championship!!!

I was lucky enough to grow up with the family of the man doing the post race interviews. We went to a lot of races in those days. Man time flies and so did these dudes!! The gentleman's name is Pepper Petersen and he's still with us these days. Happily retired in down south these days. Thanks for sharing and thanks Pepper!!!

My Uncle Toby Harris was in this video. 823 on the Suzuki. Believe this was his last race also.

How many people live in this town?????? 12??????

Guy Cooper looked like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber.

This was cool, my old boss pointed out Donnys house/ parents house many yrs ago close to my place in the elk river/big lake area just south of birch lake. Can anyone confirm?

Waiting for announcer to ask Ron L. who picked up most trash on side of Hwy ! During probation community service work?

500cc 2 strokes- gotta love it

I raced that nat on a zuki 125 ..... Scored a point or two 🤔 was good times , but paying a price for it now the debt has come due 🤷‍♂️ knees , hips , shoulders , and back have gone to shit ☹️

Extra lift, taking your feet off the pegs, what a goofball announcer.Great footage, the tracks looks fun.

The fact that Lechien was able to pass 39 riders in the first moto is a true testament of his natural ability. I was incredibly lucky to witness him absolutely embarrass the rest of the field in 1987 in the first 250cc moto at Southwick Massachusetts. His pace was like nothing I've ever seen before or since from a motocross rider. I've watched the video of this race, but unfortunately, it doesn't translate to being there in person. If the story is true, he took his high school girlfriend to her prom the night before in California and had to catch a red-eye clear across the country and made it just in time for practice. Chances are he did it with a raging hangover, which makes it even more incredible.

Hi Danny great video, it’s your friend Jeff b

Typo. Pationals

Can't believe I stumbled onto this. My home track and suck a great place .... $7 open riding. I lived about 15 mins. from there and spent a lot of weekends riding that track. My last race there was 1994 and I remember it like it was yesterday. Has anyone heard of Pickard?

Richy johnson had the problem that day?

Back when all the factory riders had box vans. It was good to see Bevo Forti at the Millville Pro National yesterday in 2022.

Thanks for that throw back Danny super sweet, bad boy 500s

these guys are like,, fuck ya! get me on that 500!

So many memories! I ran this trick alot as a kid on my 60 and 80. My pops ran 500cc. Still my favorite track I've ridden.

Johnson just looks faster than Wardy- millville this weekend - BRAAAAAAP

I was there ! Hot. Great times.

More videos

Keeping a 125 one the pipe took a lot of shifting back then. I preferred the 250 because I was kind of lazy. The big bore two strokes scared me, they were blood thirsty machines.

Great stuff. Thanks!

Guy Cooper got hurt prior to the 1988 season so he didn't get to race the first few races. If he had been healthy he probably would have won the title.

That big ol aTk was a turd. American made but a turd still. Then they go right to the “best” 500 made according to most. I myself think the kx500 was a better bike and a hell of a lot easier to ride than the red machine. The last good year for RJ before he broke his wrist/navicular in gainsville at Gatorback. I was always a Jeff Ward fan. Dude was fast on any size bike from 125 to 500s. He could run with anyone. Kehoe was always a great starter.

James Stewart is growing up fast

I remember seeing this on TV late one weekend night after Mom and Dad had gone to bed. When I heard the band was from Fort Worth, my ears really perked up because I couldn't believe music like this was coming from my hometown.

The owners of the track should get off their ass & pick the rocks off the track.

Erik Kehoe is now the Team Manager for Factory Honda.

Ah...When beer and cigarettes were the top sponsors. (And for all you kids out there,... I'm not kidding! lol)

Muito top motocross

Ever the showman, the true greatest days of motocross Ricky and James battling until Ricky passed the torch what a way to grow up. Thank god for moto🤟🏼

4:04 Now We're Talkin'!!! The Big Bore KX is a Beast to Behold Also!! 😉👍

I was like 9 I was there

Shame riders disappear off into the sunset year after year. They should hang out for long haul.

Wow! I was able to watch the racing without an announcer screaming the entire time!

Great Days Of Racing I Raced Amateurs Back Then As A Privateer Couldn’t Afford To Do Anything Else These Were The Best Of Times, Love ❤️ The Old 2 Strokes That’s Just ME ! 😎

I like a more laid back announcer instead of the screaming! That’s why I thought David Bailey was so good in the booth!

Ricky always had time for his fans. I remember him staying hours after the races to talk with his fans. He always preached as little air times as possible. If you're not connected to the ground, you're not going fast.

500cc 2 stroke for a full moto! The fitness level of the top guys Ward, RJ etc had to have been amazing to race one of those beasts.

# 9. Eric kehoe and # 5 guy cooper were fast. Great racing here. Good memories good times. Love these old school races.

This is such awesome crappy footage. I remember being grainy and shakey back in 88. It was a good time

Team Kawasaki jeff M. . ANS TWAM YAMAHAS DAMON BRADSHAW. AND GUY COOPER. MY 3 FAVORITE RIDERS. LOVE THESE OLD SCHOOL RACES.

My dad before Motorcross

What was the original source of this? I really like it, but it doesn't seem the same as the over the top Motoworld type stuff that was broadcast back then.

This was the only Millville National I didn't attend since the 1st pro race held there in 82. I was in the hospital after breaking my neck at a Minnesota amateur race a week earlier. While in the hospital I received a phone call from 125 race winner Donny Schmidt . Donny was all class and great guy! He was screwed at the end of this season by not being given a ride in the US for the 89 season! After winning a 125 Supercross title for Suzuki to boot! RIP Donny! He will always be Minnesotas champion!
