Its crazy and tragic that we lost four 500 cc world champions/motocross gp winner, way too early, RIP Malherbe, Carlquist, Jobe and "the kid" Gebors, Danny Chandler, 1982 US GP winner, also gone😔😔😔😔😔
I was dave thorpes age in the 80s. But between farming etc, I didn't have access to cable TV or time to watch it. So I missed most open class gp's. But I followed them on various mx magazines, thank God for mx magazines or I would have never known what was going on. I was a true motocross only fan. And I rode a little bit also. Thanks for letting me vent, I'm happier now. May all motocrossers and riders watching this have a lot of safe fun, okay? ''😎👌, okay. All I can say is WOW!!!. 😎👍.
Damn, I did not know André died and was paralyzed. I still look back at them guys from time to time they were the cream of the crop in the motocross sport.
Those handmade HRC bikes were (and still are) amazing works of skilled people. The riders equally as skilled. SOoo FAST! The pinnacles of rider/bike matched up perfectly.
Murray Walker started his career in 1948 commentating on a hill climb in Wales, followed by the 1949 British GP. He dId the Ilse Of Man TT, motocross, rallycross and truck racing. A true British legend who died in 2021 at the age of 97... We all miss him.

Most of them died young...one tough sport!
That track was a torture test, no flat spots.
The HRC Showa suspension working very well.

Proper mx, natural tracks non of the modern man-made tracks and of course two strokes.
.....yep.....modern mx tracks are too jumpy.
Alot more spectators back then
