- Before Carmichael and McGrath, there were the supercross legends of the past: Bob Hannah, Johnny O'Mara, Mike Bell, David Bailey, Ricky Johnson, Jeff Ward, Ron Lechien, Jeff Stanton and more. Now is your chance to catch a rare glimpse of how, over twenty years ago, these hisotric riders battled on the racetracks of yesterday to pioneer the sport of supercross and turn it into one of the most popular motor sports in the world today.

Bailey, Ward, Johnson, etc: all gods for the genuine supercross ❤
Interview: 2nd commercial hat falling again and again, with an icon not even visible😅
Brings me way back Rick Jonson was my hero I loved watching him ride and tried my hardest to be just like him but I couldn’t lol the 80’s ruled
InstaBlaster.
Same here, he inspired me to be my best.
He was my teenage years and helped keep me in motocross
Man, look at how hard the track works against them, and how unfriendly the suspensions were in the day.
Now they have plush suspension, and they set the track out with perfect spacing for the jumps and whoops. Not saying they were better, just saying it was harder for them.
its all designed for speed and safety nowdays it seems
Mark Mark no my friend that’s not true. The tracks today might look easier but just go to a supercross event near you and walk the track one time. The jumps are steeper than you could imagine and the Ruts and kickers are out of this world
@@mikehuncho7547 those kickers nowdays will make one air wheelie or endow really bad lol, and rhythm sections are always tricky , no room for error
Actually, the suspensions were pretty good. Of course not like todays.
@@mikehuncho7547 I've raced MX for over 40 years, recently into classic MX, I am well aware of the tracks.
I have never seen a modern track with anywhere near the size of the ruts we contended with, one of my pet hates btw, or how hard packed it was back then because they were rarely touched. If there was a big event on, the track may have gotten a grader go around it.
i think the jerseys and pants and boots look alot better with the solid colors and placement of logos i dont like the splash offset colors and slant logos it looks stupid
Rainier Beer was $5 for a 15 pk back then
Is the announcer hearing impaired? What's with the continuous screaming into the microphone?
This two hats shit is ridiculous.
it's like riders speaking with truehearted eloquence ... not a lithany of sponsors and a learned speech !
I was there, 16 years old at the time lovin every minute of it !!!!
These old school supercross races from 1985. To. 1989. Were the BEST HANDS DOWN. Just my opinion. Boy those were the days. Hmmm. Wear have all the good times gone!!!
Alex Saucedo gone big time corporate but privateers still don’t make any money
So cool. Good throwback. The sport has came a long way and still has a long way to go. Lets just hope the bikes dont ever go all electric
Pretty soon it will be robots on electric bikes
back in those days supercross events were a motorcycles race not a light show ... nice
Oh that's too bad you never made it to the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis and we have we have Queen yep met you got mud on your face a big disgrace somebody's going to put you back in your place when will we will rock you on your face a big disgrace by to go to put you back in your place Bringing Down the House Everybody Stomp in the music cuz it going to bust them bleachers down I got 7th row seat by the ESPN camera it's a party. I'm a biker still ride out there with it we saw Kevin Windham first stoppie on a man
@@donniebaker5984 I swear ta god. Lol!
Yep exactly, Just straight up racing and not such a show.
Meh. I hardly notice the light show. That era had its time. This era the tracks are much faster, which adds another dimension of excitement. All eras were good for their time. Wouldn't want to replace any of them.
One thing that, unfortunately, hasn't changed much is the yell in your ear announcer. This guy's almost as annoying as Ralph Shaheen.
@@johntomasik1555 i agree with evreything you said, except that ralph shaheen is fuckin good ahahah
Man.. the racing was SO much better back then.. what the heck happened?
I have that same jersey RJ is wearing in my closet... wonder if it still fits haha
8:03 Little known Supercross fact, Rick Johnson was 7 feet tall
Those CR's ran good in 86.
I wish either # 2 ron the pot head dogger lachine team Kawasaki would of won or Rick ryan or Johnny O mara. O well still a good race. I like Rick Johnson too. Love these old school supercross races. Brings back good memories. Good times. These races from 1986. To. 1989 were the BEST
Got a bunch of cool souvenirs when I was a kid but without any idea Rick Johnson gave me his used pants after a heat race at Daytona Supercross. Great guy till this day
Love watching these old races. I was 14 back then.
I think i was 15 or 16 when i got in to this sport and went to my first supercross race in California in 1986 or 1987. Became a hard core supercross fan. Good times good memories
I think this was the year I flew from California there with Ricky Ryan and Dean Matson when i was 12 years old. Ended up after the race at the Blue Oyster for dinner and sat across from Ricky Johnson and at the table where factory Honda people. Then, went to the oyster bar and had oysters with Roger Decoster , the Man. What an experience.
1:41 Rick Ryan dusted that turn!
Yep, getting a "Holy Shit" outtakes somebody at 1:50, lol.
2:14 too!
production bikes - the factory riders paint on the frame isnt even production paint i doubt anything on johnson omara ward bikes is prod.
I was born in 86 but my pops made me watch these tapes when I was young and just watching them now it look like you had to pace yourself because of how hard the suspension is. but growing up I watched RJ tapes
Oh GOD... Rainier beer. Out of everything I've ever done that should have been illegal...
Of dirt bikes, puking foam, Ruger 10/22s and gonorrhea, no worse ideas and no better days have ever been had.
To all you Gen-x'ers out there, salud!
I had RJ s 86 CR 250 for my first race bike it was the best honda i ever had till i got my 1996 CR 250...in 86 honda with out telling anyone built their factory bike to comply with the AMAs production rule...the forks an shock were great an the motor had a powerband identical to a modern 450 4 stroke..hondas gamble paid off as they won all 86 USA AMA titles an the motocross des nation in italy...bravo...u know how many bikes that sold...it was a good marketing play..think johnson omara an bailey had big contracts to ride an win title how could they jepardize any of that....by building a untested stock bike for their elite riders who have a contract for exclusive rights to factory bikes an parts motors suspension etc
AWESOME,i was out on my xl250 back then
Those guys were tough!
My friend owns a 1986 Kawasaki kx250.
Alot of torque and low/mid power but top end power is none.
The mud the blood the beer...how we went from beer to energy crack heads...wow....ah Supercross
Lack of humility has never been Johnsons problem. Not
these announcers are horrible they are shouting like yelling as if their in a fight lol
@ 1:48 you can hear the guy in the background say, "holy shit!"
The best years
RJ !!!💖
Great memories
You didn't let anyone down RJ. You aren't that important
I don’t remember Ricky Ryan . Was he around long ?
Rick ryan raced for about 5 to 7 years i think. He wasent to bad. He showed flash every NOW and then. He did win the Daytona supercross race. I belive that was in 86 or 87. That race was his only big claim to fame.
Awesome love watching the old races.I still have a 88 kx250 great bikes for the time.
I have an original oem 88 kx125 still. Too small for me really but i'll never sell it. It's from a great period in mx
Nice bike I have a 86 kx 250
I was there on that rainy Seattle night, back then I rode a 83 Husky XC500 and a 85 Yamaha YZ250.....best time I can remember. Still not done riding yesterday I rode
my KTM 6 Day XCW350....Cheers....from WA ST
Those '86 CR250r's Were Brutal! They Felt more Grunty than more Modern Machines, I loved the 'Honda Wing Graphics' & Gold Rims one of the Best Looking CR250s - I owned a '88 CR125r & CR250r & a '94 & '96 CR250, All Great Bikes!! I'd love a '86 if I could find one in Reasonable Condition, R.J. was a Class Act - A True Professional- Cheers😉👍🇦🇺
Back when bikes took skill to ride I love it that’s why I ride from 1974 to 1985 dirtbike‘s and trikes
Imagine saying dirtbikes are easy to ride but back in the day they were "real bikes" dirt bikes aren't easy to ride i bet u call yourself a "real rider"
Okay Boomer, what are you talking about dude? You wouldn't last one lap on a 2020 kx450f. These old-timers thinking they're real Riders. The power of a new bike would scare them especially approaching a modern-day double or triple lip.
@@motomtbingg9588 he's a joke, he wouldn't last one lap on a modern bike on a modern track.

Little known fact Omara was on meth during most of the later races in his career like this one. He has said that he would stay up for 2 or even 3 days before a race and still go out and win. Now a days the difference between first and 10th is a few seconds. It’s almost impossible to make a career out of supercross or nationals now
Wow...now there's something i never knew 😳
You must be talking about Lechien...
👏👏grandissimi, immensi...
The design of there clothing was much better than today ,classic motocross bring back safari mask's.
No Mark Barnett?
COSE SPECIALI E IRRIPETIBILI!!!
I was born two years prior, I never got to drink a Rainier Beer. I feel like I’ve been deprived on all the good things in life!
When the Supercross game DLC is just like real life
My idol
I'm jealous of the pants n Jersey designs 🤘🤘
I can say turd 😂
1:49 oh shit lol
Not allowed to say turd?!?! Those supercross riders have always been rebels. haha
As a society, we had more class back then. Now, we are surrounded by turds, but most racers today, still have class.
Lol, looks like s back yard practice track
Johnson was always the man nobody even comes close.
Old scold
that announcer is legendary
Wie is hier door Serpentgameplay?
✊✊✊✊ gass polll....
Ricky Too Hip (not), Ricky Too Hat’s.
anyone else find it ironic that "RAINIER" is the main sponsor of the Race in Seattle; a Rainier American city doesn't exist LOL
Rainier Beer was the sponsor of SX then. I remember Coors was in 1988. Then beer and cigarette sponsors of racing (car racing too) got attacked by political activists who said such sports should not have such sponsors because children enjoy the sport too,--and there goes a bit more of our free market.
#20 the inventor of goon riding
2:15 ...perfect.
It was beautiful!
the sponsorship hat-swap 😁
Alguém no em 2020
1:48 " holy shit" haha
Those bikes look heavy
They're not. Radiator shrouds and seats are just bulky.
4t are a good 30lbs heavier
The announcer is so bad !
Larry Huffman , he was the best.
Useless, knows nothing, there all on production bikes ????, FFS
Omg it's like watching 10 year olds race. There no timing in the jumps
r yeah way harder back then than today
the jumps weren't evenly spaced out like today's jumps
Those guys were the best in their are
That's the bikes every rider had
Just like today
The best rise to the top
Regardless of machine
Imagine your drunk uncle Gereld hopping on the backhoe and making you something in abt a hour, that’s how these were back then.
Get your hatin ass outta here
I love motorcycles so much
