Great Supercross Video - San Diego SX 1988 - Jeff Ward v. Rick Johnson

This is a great video, from Rick Johnson's 'home movies'.
San Diego Supercross (today called Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series) 1988. Jeff Ward wins a heat, Ron Lechien wins a heat, with Johnson third.
Johnson had the flu that day, wasn't well. But in the Main Event, at his home town race in San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium (later called Qualcomm) he pulled out the win in the 20 lap Main.

Love the sound of all those 2 strokes on the start.

Great race footage!

Thank you

[@MrTmel123]

Starting technique in 1988. Butt off the seat for zero traction. Bow legs outward for zero bike control. Minimal bike contact is a must for great riding. lol

So cool! I had an 88 Honda Cr 250. They were great motors that year. All of these guys were my hero’s growing up.

The SOUTHWICK NATIONAL tee shirts had Mickey diamond in this gear on the front, what a great race that was.

[@mikemacdude]

I was about 16 back then, these guys were badass to us. Lol

[@peterbalac1915]

If my memory serves me correctly I remember Jeff Ward at the NEC Birmingham England riding a Kawasaki, I was wondering what all the fuss was about yes he was a good rider but this memory I will never forget. I'm pretty sure it was the penultimate lap Jeff was 3rd there was a long stretch of whoops leading into the last corner very tight he wound the wick up hit em flat out cleared the lot and somehow managed to square the corner off and wheelie over the finish line,,, bloody hell it was absolutely amazing no one else did that through out all the races Jeff went from being good to being GREAT what a rider RESPECT 👌👏👏

In 1988 I bought a new cr 250 and got married all in one year , that was some great times

[@htrspsupra2102]

I bought an 88 CR125 in the winter/spring of 1995 as my first 125 when I was a young teen. I felt like I was on top of the world back then especially being a Honda guy. Congrats on the Bike and getting Married.

That ground was hard, no smooth landings like today.

The gear still looks better than the spandex that is current and popular right now. I guarantee it's more durable.
