Killer footage and the early 80's Suzuki's were fast bikes and great suspension!! Still have an 83 rm125👍👊😎🇨🇦

I stumbled across this one tonight Feb. 26 2024 and watched to the end , it's now 3:15 am and I can't believe it's been 42 years since this race, I still remember most of those guys Hannah and Shu were always my favorites but loved them all. Now I'm 69 years old and these are just distant memories of my days as a young gun. God bless you all.

Awesome, Bob! This was the 1st VHS tape of a race my family ever had. Growing up in rural KY, it wasn't easy to see races.. no MTV, or anything. So we just rode more. I about had this one memorized, though.. still love it! Keep it gripped and RIPPED!

I wore out the few VHS tapes of racing that I had back then too! These kids now have no idea how hard it was to find any kind of moto on tv…now you can watch every supercross live, with over 3 hours of coverage! I absolutely worshiped Hannah from the mid 70’s on, but I never got to see him ride or a video of him actually racing until the internet came along. Now, I’m trying to watch all those races I read about in cycle news, MXA and Dirt Bike back in the day.

The first time I saw Mark Barnett was at Redbud. We just called it Buchanan back then. Pretty sure it was his last amateur race. It went off before the pros ran. Everybody was talking about him before the race. I'd never heard of them until then. Of course the youngster smoked everybody. Even Bob Hannah who seemed to take fitness to the next level, said The Bomber took it to the next, next level

Hannah was tearing it up! He did a meet and greet at a shop in PHX around 1980.. I couldn't get a ride to meet him so I called and asked for Bob Hannah.. He came to the phone and talked to me for a couple minutes.. He was awesome to take my call and treated me like his #1 fan.. He is the real deal for sure and a great role model. Gave a 14 year old kid a great memory!!

I won the open a ... amateur day... everyone was freaked out ...I had a great job.i was just showing myself I could do it...barnett stuffed me at another one ... didn't even see him coming tore my jersey off...it was all good...

Those 82 works Hondas were a piece of art..! The Kawis too!!!

This is Amazing…So Glad I Stumbled upon this at 2:48 am🤣…Now that I Have this,I will watch it Over & Over again !

What a great race that was. Today with groomed tracks and most racers having the tracks pretty much wired, they are parades in comparison.

21:50 There is a direct correlation between affordable bikes and fans in the stands, (when any kid could afford a new bike.). The 1986 production rule was the start of the sports decline (tripled the cost of a bike in 5 years), and now the EPA forced 4-stroke made the sport for the well to do families only. It is that kind of outside interference that damages every industry that has ever been built.

No doubt. That was killer race w Broc giving him a run. Wish he could've stayed up and so we could watch him in the main. I bet he was doubling something massive. Magoo was such a badass. RIP Danny

I always loved watching the Bomber ride the wheels off that Suzuki

Amazing how few obstacles there were. Especially compared to modern tracks.

The announcer kept calling TOM BENOLKIN GOAT BREKER at least four different times. But this was an awesome supercross this is the way I like the super crosses not the way they have them today the bikes in the are all the time in today's supercross

These guys going hard looks like a cool down lap nowadays. The demands of the riders have increased exponentially over the years.

Please also let us know how the suspension truly compares to KYB and Showa and valving and spring adjustability by a tech

56:48, a Penthouse ad on TV SX in 1982. Must have been shown in CA. Now-a-days, I am thinking good values were worth holding onto.

At the national at St Pete that year all these dudes got smoked both Motos to the only dude I couldn't beat on my maico 490 the year before...Kenny keylon won both Motos by like 40 seconds...and he would scrub McCoys mountain every lap.

mx was my life i was 18 in 82 and these guys were gods to me so funny i did make it into unadilla and some southwick nationals just missing qualifying by just 4 in 91 and 92 out there with ward and stanton mcgrath so epic where did the time go ?

Damn the suspension looks so soft compaire to todays bikes. watching the forks are runnign 95% mid stroke. Why did Suzuki ever get rid of the Full Floater design?

Barnett now makes the tracks .. the old tracks are better

Look 1982 an jumping still wasnt normal yet... i started riding 78 an i remember ski jumps which to me dont count thats a drop off not a jump..hansen bike looks like its got enuf suspension to be quite capable of jumping not sure supercross tech suspension was in play out door set up dont work in supercross so if u watch these guys dont be hard on them because it was still getting sorted. .bikes..peace thanks

I can't believe those junk heaps could even make a full lap let alone a full race without flying apart 😅. And look at those embarrassing space helmets 😂. But one thing is for sure, from about 85 onto 90 were some of the best bikes in motocross history 👍

Sport has come a long way. There are kids on 65s at our local club who would beat these guys.

@Bodie2020

That’s is only because the technique had evolved as well as the bikes and mainly suspension. The kids on 50s and 65s today will be faster when they become pro than the current pros. Just look at what Ricky did to the sport just by actually training.
