This is Debbie. It was Indian Dunes. I sure miss that place! Thanks Chris for the nice comment. Still riding. Just did a vintage trials in Nor Cal two weeks ago and won my class against the guys. Unofficially though because I choose to not take their points😊
Loved the bikes back then. Not saying they were better, just a lot of character and good utility. Also liked the girls back then. I think they might have actually been better…
Back when women were women and men were men! The bikes were better and simpler and had better styling, just my opinion. Modern bikes are in a race to uglification.
@johnnyrebellion8672 Yes. And you didn’t have to get a loan to purchase or moreover REBUILD a bike that grenaded itself !! Todays HELLA expensive motocross bike have less durability than my CHI COM weed eater !!!
She was amazing, I used to see her when I was young. Those trials people were a different group. We raced MX but would go to trials to watch. Guys would sit in circles on their bikes BSing with their feet up like they had kickstands down. Pure skill and balance.
@@brucelennen6231 my all time favorite track. Ripping through the trees and the big berms were a blast . The TT track was a fun wide open track as well, the international track was too gnarly for me at the time.. 🤙
I’ve worked with Debbie dozens and DOZENS of times. And hired her ANYTIME I needed a girl/woman/chick that I KNEW COULD GET the job done RIGHT. She’s MUCH BETTER than MOST the guys when it comes to “wheelin a car around” and WAYYYYY BETTER than ALMOST EVERYONE when it comes to bike work. And she’s ALWAYS BEEN a “sweet heart” to have on ANY of MY sets. 100% CLASS ACT ! GRAT PERSON ! 🦊🇺🇸🏁
I have a 1977 TY80 that I’ve recently changed the engine in. All my children were taught to ride on it. My 2 eldest sons now have race licences. Glory days of old.
Like the Moto Verte sticker on the gas tank, reminds me my youth, this is the French off road MC magazine. I remember this article about Debie in Moto Verte, l was a teen on my TY50, now 59 and still riding daily.
My best friend growing up had a TY175, it was the first bike bigger than a 50cc that I ever rode and it spat me off (a lot) had a neutral between every gear, auto flipped in first gear if you gave it a fist full and went like a bat out of hell if you managed to shift to second gear in time. Also, carrying a passenger means you got to sit on the rear fender, just ahead of that metal loop and if you hit a bump that loop was your landing zone.....we loved every minute of it, good times.
I love reading the nostalgic comments for stuff like this. I just hope for the sake of the world that the next few generations will be able to finish off recalling their younger days with......good times.
Now how is that possible? The headstand. I have been living on dirtbikes since 1992, I have never seen anybody be able to stand still on a motorcycle for more than 30 seconds. That was incredible.
She's gifted for sure. Trials riders are another breed of human. There are some who will sit on a bike, completely stationary, and balance the thing while drinking a whole beer.
I could be wrong….. but I think that’s a 75cc bike…. I had a ‘77 Suzuki TM 75….. not the same bike in the video…. But I’m pretty sure that’s not a 175cc….
cow girl rides a metallic horse 😂😂😂。wonder woman excellent balance。thanks for this video bring back lots of my memory using TY250 of 1976 with blue white tank。
This has to be the same young lady that wowed the crowd in the 70s at a competition that I saw at escape country motorcycle park Southern California. Saddle back Motocross park was 80% racing courses.
probably the rear brake too, or left in 1st locking the front brake on a bicycle lets you lean it up against just about anything, eliminating the need for a kickstand
Had one myself as a teen. Mine was in the yellow/white scheme. Sold it in the early 90’s after completely restoring it. Since it was a rare bike in my area the local Yamaha dealer gave me the parts microfische slide for it and said to just bring it when I wanted parts. That way they wouldn’t spend a bunch of time digging it out. Yes, I could still get dealer parts then!
Yamaha won't even bring ADV bikes like World Raid, Extreme or Rally versions of the Tenere T7 to the US. The largest Yamaha dealer in the state of Texas on got one base model T7 in 2022, was only expecting one T7 in 2023. And you want Yamaha to ship Trials bikes into the US market? Dare to dream. 👍
Hey James a man can dream haha I have owned so many great Yamaha dirt bikes in my life through all these years my garage is all Yamaha even my generator lol. Then there’s 1 Sherco trials bike looks out of place lol
@@motomatt6752 I actually picked up a Ducati DesertX back in May. There were NO T7s or Honda Africa Twins available. Have over 4k miles on the DDX in four months. Got the full race titanium Termignoni race exhaust and EVO tune. Putting out around 120hp and sounds absolutely awesome.
I do not know how I never owned a TY, they were dirt cheap and loads of second ones were up for sale as the trials bike people swapped them for low-slung bikes, the second-hand market was flooded with them, £200-£300 would buy a good clean one, this is the 175 but the 250 was THE machine to have, they are now selling for up to £7000, new they were about £500, hope Debbie is still riding, remember seeing a film about her long time back,
Everyone's start up bike I the 70's and 80's. As soon as Montesa 200's,Fantic 156,and Bultaco 175 hit the market it was a TY exodus. John Shirt and Mick Whitlock did a great job with the Majesty and Whitehawk. Then Yamaha brought out the TY 250 monoshock in a n attempt to get their market share.
She's my friend's mom. Super nice lady. She's been a first call stunt woman for the last 4 decades. One of the best in the industry.
Tell her she's totally rad for that balance bike handstand
Do you know where she was riding in this video? It looks like indian dunes.. I grew up racing there every weekend.. I miss that place..🤙

Impressive!! With a kick start. Hell, I lost my balance just watching, and I was seated!
Just turned 63 today and I’m still riding ( 2022 Beta 300rr). I’ve been riding since the early seventies and even had a TY 250.
How am only seeing this now in 2024???? What a talent!!
watching this vid reminds me of how much i miss dirt biking in the 70s
Wow. Just wow.
She was amazing, I used to see her when I was young. Those trials people were a different group. We raced MX but would go to trials to watch. Guys would sit in circles on their bikes BSing with their feet up like they had kickstands down. Pure skill and balance.
Debbie Evans has her own YT channel

Okay, the handstand was impressive, looks like she was riding at Indian dunes.. God I miss that place 🤙
Shadow glen track...

Mind blowing. Now, check out Viola Brand on her bicycle.
It's a headstand, not a handstand.
@@Jlk-rm1jv thanks for the clarity,
What would we do without you....
Handstand on a YAMAHA!👌👀ING is believing. Great way to 🆒-off.. seriously excellent📎..Thanks.🏍️ Debbie🏍️....🌞..
Very impressive! Great balance, and that is what it takes to be a great trials rider!
And she was good enough to only take five days to do the six day trial😂
Phat tyres?;-)
Very impressive. Her balance is impeccable.
So cool to see Indian Dunes Shadow Glen track again. Miss that place so much.
Indian Dunes! I’ve got a retro replica tshirt of an Indian chief with headdress riding a 250 with a hatchet lol
Awesome! Gives goosebumps to watch her person. 👍🏻
Thanks for taking me back when I rode trials in the 70s.
Bet her mechanic loves her fall in the water trick

Those were great little bikes. I sure miss those days.

over the top!👏👏👏
What a super 70's gal !!! Even has the right name.

YAMAHA TY trial bikes were really GOOOD ‼️‼️
Very very impressive.. debs a champion
Unbelievable balance, and looking at the comments a nice lady too, thanks for sharing this video.
Debbie does trials. Thanks for being awesome
Is that the sequel to Debbie does Dallas?
Hell yeah debbie, get it!
Now how is that possible? The headstand.
I have been living on dirtbikes since 1992, I have never seen anybody be able to stand still on a motorcycle for more than 30 seconds.

She's gifted for sure. Trials riders are another breed of human. There are some who will sit on a bike, completely stationary, and balance the thing while drinking a whole beer.
for one thing, she locked the front brake lever on
Less mental distractions means more balanced everything. We are in the dark ages of mental balance
Nice one Debbie.
My first motorcycle was a 76 Kawasaki KT 250 two stroke trails bike in beautiful lime green and white. Loved that bike and what it could do.
Very impressive! Imagine what she could have done on a modern trials bike!
Can you image her riding Gas Gas or Beta? She ‘ll be hopping around like Ryan Young.
...and looking for a place to sit...!
The first lady of trials. I used to have a bike like hers. Good little bike. 175cc
I could be wrong….. but I think that’s a 75cc bike…. I had a ‘77 Suzuki TM 75….. not the same bike in the video…. But I’m pretty sure that’s not a 175cc….
The 80’s sure was a different time 😊 she’s getting fancy with it 😂
Head stand holy sheight! 😳😳
awesome great job what a nice young Lady 😘
I am pretty sure the only trick in this video I can master is "the world famous fall in the water"😂
Well, that is one thing I haven't seen Toni Bou do.
Pretty cool. 😎
Awesome! My mother-in-law has said that she wanted to be just like Debbie while growing up.
EXCEPT for the narration, THIS was an awesome vid. SUPER-talented!
I remember her she was awesome 😎 ❤
Great bike, great riding
Dang I remember when those trial bikes first came out, only the rich kids had them.. and The movie "On any Sunday" was playing at the theater.
wow amazing !!
I love the old Yamaha TY. When I was growing up I have heard about Debbie Evans. She’s very talented trials rider.
cow girl rides a metallic horse 😂😂😂。wonder woman excellent balance。thanks for this video bring back lots of my memory using TY250 of 1976 with blue white tank。
This is my kind of girl. Great demonstration of skills.
I see applying and tying the front brakes makes the bike more stable for the headstand.
You're not the only one that dreams of having a girl like that... get in line bro. The suply doesn't meet the demand sadly
She also appeared in the 1982-83 Jean Nate After Bath Splash commercial.
Awesome 👍
Outstanding!! 👌👍😎
Wow! Unfortunately I didn't know her name. But I was riding YAMAHA TY in 1980s, too☺️
Love the Farrah hairdo !
Shes awesome. Looks like Indian Dunes.
Why in world was she not in “On any Sunday “
This was a few years after OAS
I think she was in Take It to the Limit or a follow-on OAS. They featured this clip there.
I miss bell-bottoms..... Nice riding Debbie.
Very impressed
This has to be the same young lady that wowed the crowd in the 70s at a competition that I saw at escape country motorcycle park Southern California. Saddle back Motocross park was 80% racing courses.
I used to race MX there, Escape Country, and the track at the OC Raceway (Drag Strip) in the early 70's. It's ALL covered in houses now.
Wow,! I wonder what she ate for breakfast that morning…I think I’m in love 🥰
Impressive!
Debbie was a bad ass. I could never do that headstand thing because my bike won’t kick start that easy😂
Now that balance is impressive !
💪
is this On Any Sunday 2? really need to give that a watch, the original is a favorite of mine
It is from: Take it to the limit.
Amazing stuff.
Crazy mad skills
Cool video. I notice she locked the front brake with a strap or band of some sort... just a note for anyone trying this themselves.
Anyone foolish enough to try this themselves :-)
Yeah, impressive, but not completely unsupported with the front brake locked and the front tire turned sideways and sunk a good ways down in the sand.
probably the rear brake too, or left in 1st
locking the front brake on a bicycle lets you lean it up against just about anything, eliminating the need for a kickstand
I had one of these bikes, buggered if I could do a head stand on it though. Did a fair few face plants I can tell you.
I remember this from Peter Starrs movie. Take it to the limit
That oul can trick was actually pretty cool.
Holy Crap!
I had a 1978 TY250 bought it brand new, I had a lot of fun on that bike it could go places where nobody could follow me.
Absolute talent.
I think im in love 🥰
🔥
Well, i have done a headstand on my bike, it was during a crash.
Pretty awesome video thanks for posting. Wish Yamaha would release trials bikes in the USA I would be the first in line for one

Wow 👏🏻🔥
Wow!
Got Skills.
I had 1977 or 1978 ty 175 Yamaha trails bike in 1983
Rode one for years on trails and in trials.
“Why am I whispering?” LOL
Very nice interview of Debbie on the UA-cam channel MotoStarr.
She was a cutie. Skilled too #respect
😁👍🏻👍🏻😎
yeah yeah, I've done that trick too - important to kill engine asap to not fill it with water.
Pretty athletic stunt! "Why am I whispering?"
Back in the day 1873 I did this vary thing on a horse once .
That was BOSS!!!!
Amazing
With enough practice, I bet I could do that fall-in-the-water trick.
😅
It's all in the bell-bottom jeans she wears. 😀
You can hide another motorcycle under those bell bottom
at that age, our young guys had longer bottoms covering shoes and for cleaning the floor 😂😂😂，1970 century
I have been riding dirt bikes for years and I have everything she is doing many times, it was just never on purpose.
I do not know how I never owned a TY, they were dirt cheap and loads of second ones were up for sale as the trials bike people swapped them for low-slung bikes, the second-hand market was flooded with them, £200-£300 would buy a good clean one, this is the 175 but the 250 was THE machine to have, they are now selling for up to £7000, new they were about £500, hope Debbie is still riding, remember seeing a film about her long time back,
