friend gave me hundreds of instructional and 80s and 90s tapes to watch when i got my first sponsor. said watch them and do what they do and id be the fastest haha
Great too see older pros... Ward nice pass, passing Johnson who could of stuffed him in the turn, Johnson kept his cool a lot of race left, then when time is right Johnson passes him back same inside smooth.... Ward even though he's a little short still is one of the man's
Just one that I loved about this era,and a lot of my friends,racers who got me into motocross finally,I was greatful,didn't was Larry Huffman,not Meyers,he was cool,johnson went by ward like a snake oil salesman in the night.well he did...and johnson landed so hard off that triple he jarred his ancestors,well he did,ask his folks...where's this guy come up with stuff,I'd been watching SX tapes,3 years straight,85,86,87,then I started helping SX as safety flagger and course worker thank to old pro who used to the stadium SX tracks,he to watch out the riders,like they were his kids,and I did that for ten years.
Yep, and than rode a bunch of moto's every week. The 80's was a pinnacle of fitness for MX/SX. The 70's and to mid 90's were a bit more party. Then came RC. :)
I can still remember me and my best friend John T watching these races i was for Ricky Johnson and my buddy was for Jeff Ward the two greatest supercross racers of all time!
"He's on him like a tattoo on a merchant sailor" classic commentary!
I had this on VHS I played so many times back in the day.

I was only 17 years old in 1988 I thought we had way better cameras
This picture is horrible
Announcer said “He’s on Kehoe like a Krishna on an airport passenger”.lol that’s funny shit
I find it hard for any real SX fan to dislike this upload !

It is crazy how you can see some of the newer style of riding start to appear this far back!!

man...I need to figure out the time machine physics...I need to time machine back to this shit and enter the race with like a 1998 Yamaha YZ250...
I was there at that race. I wanted micky diamond team Yamaha.
Me too. Micky Diamond was a bad ass.
@@fredgarvinMP . If he wouldn't fell down i think he would of won. Damm he was close
Classic stuff!! Thanks for the upload! Nothing like Larry Huffman calling a race!
WARD RUNS 30 MILES A WEEK AND 250 ON HIS BIKE -WHAT?

I went with my buddies Texas Mike O'shea and Fresno Bob 🤘
Awesome! Good times! Why does the track look bigger? What stadium was this?
The fuzzy ‘auto tracking’ beginning takes me back to popping in a VHS of the race I recorded off broadcast tv. Good memories!
I was there ! Dymond ? don't remember him at all. RJ all the way baby. Usually not starts well but reels everyone else in , then wins.
Larry Huffman was the absolute GOAT!
I love that 88 KX250. Its a very nice bike to ride.
"The Great Yellow Hope" lol
Excellent camera work
