THE WEEKLY FEED: ICONIC MOTO • COOL VIDS • CHRISTMAS GEAR BAG

The Jammer Jimmy Weinert- Factory Kawasaki, Marty Tripes- Factory Honda and John Desoto- Factory CZ circa 1973. This is an iconic shot of three American motocross pioneers.

While doing a little shopping at Fasthouse, Wolf ran into this dude, a 2-time 125 Supercross champ, ISDE Gold Medal winner and full time LAPD motorcycle cop- Damon Huffman. He was doing a bit of buying for his boys, both of whom ride.

A pivotal moment in MX history, Pierre Karsmakers championship winning 1973 YZ360, the forward mounted shocks modification came late in the season as the flames of long travel gained traction. In  1974 Pierre was on the new Monoshock YZ!

HERE’S SOME SUPERB BILLY BOLT FOOTAGE FROM THE LAST YEAR!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIPPER!!  HAVE A GREAT DAY MY BROTHER!

The Baja 1000, 1991. This was the only time I raced any Baja event (I raced the Tecate Enduro 6-times) and we put together a team racing a fully back Honda XR630. Bruce Ogilvie organized everything, my teammates were Billy Berroth and Alan Cunningham and we actually did quite well, although none of us pre-ran any sections. I went into it like it was an enduro, I’d read the terrain and my speed would be dictated by my comfort level. To be honest, the event scared me, as an enduro guy I love tight stuff, this sucker was warp drive on a machine that had an appetite for it. I had some moments that stained my jockey shorts, but came through it wide eyed and happy to be downing a Pacifico in Ensenada. Billy Berroth was the hero, Alan stayed tough, we finished (I believe 3rd in the 30 Pro class) and I never, ever had the gumption to do it again.

I had to have a little work done on my right knee as the patella mount on my replacement knee let loose and dislodged the patella. That equalled big time pain and made it just hard to walk. They remove the old poly (as the mount is glued to the new knee), resurface the patella surface and cement in a new one. Those contraptions on my legs are vibrators to fight blood clots. Love getting old!

THE WEEKLY FEED: HARD ENDURO & ISDE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS • OFF-ROAD LIGHTING • SOCIAL SPLATS

Jimmy Weinert showcased in 1972. This is a Yamaha MX250 given that the near-factory level YZ250A was still a year away for the Yamaha Team riders. Notice the bungee cord tank strap.

Ken Roczen had a gnarly foot after crashing in moto one at the FIM World Supercross (WSX) event in Abu Dhabi. He finished 14th in the moto, came in 3rd in moto 2, and won the final moto with the injured foot!

Dean Wilson faced off against Vince Friese and his aggressive tactics at the FIM World Supercross (WSX) event in Abu Dhabi

EPIC BATTLE AT THE FINAL HARD ENDURO BETWEEN LETTI AND BOLT

We convinced Bob Hannah to ride our production YZ250 for the cover of the May 1982 issue. Bob was testing in the California desert, gave us about a half hour on the brand new machine and called it a total pile. He hated the radiator feel up high, the weight of the machine and the total lack of manners. Thank heavens he was in a good mood!
