I grew up across the lake from the Stantons. As a little girl I thought it was a chainsaw I was hearing. I used to drive the snowmoble across the lake with the dog sled loaded with sleds. They had the perfect hill for sledding.
Question: I could be wrong, but I seem to remember hearing that James ‘Bubba’ Stewart is credited with inventing the move of leaning the bike over going into jumps to reduce air time & get hooked up sooner. It sure looks like JMB does that exact same thing at @ 2:37
Bubba was credited with being the first rider to “scrub” lap after lap.Hence the name the “bubba scrub”. But JMB and some other early free riders were doing some early variants of scrubs/whips from 89-92. Before any proper free ride videos came out. 2:37 may be a very slight scrub, not really comparable to JS7 in his prime. However JMB was at least 7-10 years ahead of pretty much all moto/super cross riders in terms of style and technique.
I'll put David Bailey and JMB as the best riders in AMA history.And I'm talking about getting on a bike in a stadium,parking lot,dirt field,or your back yard doesn't matter.Never seen anyone ride as good ever....
The Pontiac Silverdome was built when I was a little kid, about the same time MX came to the USA from Europe. Today, the stadium is gone, and my question is, will I out live MX too? Maybe. But I was trail riding before I knew what MX was, and I will be trail riding even if MX gets demolished also.
Bayle quit, and Jeremy cracked open a beer. I would have liked to see Bayle continue and make Jeremy work for it. It was his choice, and I respect that. But the world missed out on witnessing a lot more excellence. Today, I am tired of watching a "fast average", on tracks that every racer on the line has wired, with people calling it great racing. I miss watching "Greatness".
min 0:44: Look at Guy Cooper, who is no taller than I am, touch both feet on the ground while getting back on his 250cc 2-stroke bike. Can't do that with a modern 2-stroke. I blame the magazines for begging for "an updated chassis", to be as tall as a 4-stroke has to be. Having the 4-stroke forced on the industry has hurt the industry, in many aspects, more than anybody has measured. But the lack of sales is a pretty good measurement, and the fact that the FIM can't fill a MXGP starting gate.
Thans, man. I may have a bit of San Diego. It's not really high on my list, cuz Bayle didn't win. :) I've got Las Vegas cued up for this weekend, but I'll see what I can do for the next one.
Sorry, but I was out of the SX scene during 1990. I don't know what I was doing, but it wasn't supercross. :) I didn't even see any of the 1991 season, when Bayle won everything. Horrible for a JMB fan to say, but there you go. I've got a few more races from the '92 season left to post. I was so disappointed Bayle didn't win the championship that year, I lost interest in SX for a few years.

Liked all those bikes that year...
Good job... Sponsors,fans, mechanics, track personal, all those who make it happen... Well done
Great racing. . Love these old races
JMB is the best I ever saw. Wish he raced more years in U.S.

AWESOME this was my first sx race i ever seen, friends dad took us was great
I love early 90's supercross/Motocross
In 1991, I was Jeff Stanton for Halloween. How fucking awesome is that? Seriously.
I think that year u was JMB wearing TX-10 gear🤣🤣🤣
Dave Despain & Larry Maiers the best!
Hey that's my bike! 92 YZ 250. Well pretty much, I got a 93 WR but it looks pretty much like the same thing.
DennisH8706 hello, 8 years later talking! I come from the future to roast you. So it wasn’t the same or it is?
WR's had flywheel weights to slow down the powerband...gave it more grunt.
Glad you like. My goal is to post one per week, so look for another this weekend.

Oh the feels. Favorite re was Damon and Jean Michel. Childhoooods
Wow I almost like my comment from a year ago.
And here I am again, I forget I watched these and clicked them again.

Totally agree , but though not as natural and smooth as DB and JMB I got to put Hannah up there too.
I'm sure there's an alternate reality somewhere in which JMB didn't go road racing.

Man, I miss those days.

111 in tutto bravo bayle
uuuh all the pretty tiedye colors
I hated this era....a vacuum.....in another year MC would rise up and the last golden era of SX would start.
?Bull
man the suspension on those bikes looks really bad
so funny we say that now...
Not the suspension but the 2t power delivery and track design.
Look at 3.43.....🍻Skål
This is Pontiac Dummy lol
JMB better than Marvin Muskrat
No, I don't. Sorry.
