Damn.. the O show. Supercross was more fun back then in my opinion.

So was the riding gear

If you haven't known it yet, it was Johnny O who discovered and applied braking the rear wheel during a jump to change the bikes angle while in the air bringing the front end down. FYI, I just read this way back in the day in either Dirtbike or Motocross Action magazine on one of their trivia topics.

The 1986 Motocross de Nations with Jonnny O'Mara, David Baily and Rick Johnson was epic. Johnny O'Mara's results on a CR125 was even more epic. He beat world champion riders and every entered rider in the world on every 125, 250 and 500 with the exception of Baily and Johnson.

The one and only O' Show! Worked at Suzuki Van Nuys when Johnny rode Suzuki's. He had a Honda Express piped and ported, used to come up the alley brake sliding all the trash cans down! The good old days Tom Halverson, Lance King, Craig Eggerman. Indian Dunes where it basically started for Johnny. Riding Tapo Cyn. Al Baker, everyone saw o'shows raw talent. The rest they say is history! 👍

raced at Dunes in the early to mid 80's and seen omara there on occasion. Johnny would sometimes race the CRC GP's. Those GP's were awesome fun with the extra long track that included sand washes and a river crossing/jump, along with the shadow glen and intl. mx tracks. omara was such an inspiration, dedicated to his job as a factory rider, and doing it in style.. a real legend in my book.

Back then there were so many more racers and places to ride so many in 125 class at the local level there was 2 or3 races of 125 novice and intermediate every weekend that’s where the Marty smith,bob hannah Jeff ward came from as well as Johnny O came from after that it started to slow down -those were the glory mx days

Loved watching O'Show, so smooth.

Awesome stuff! Thanks👍🏻- Western Ohio

They kind of tried in Anaheim 2 2008, it was meant to be a replica of the 86 race between RJ and Bailey. Apparently Dirt Wurx never had so many complaints during practice as there was no flow compared to normal. IMO I like it when the tracks are janky... anything to increase mistakes in the age of four strokes is a bonus I think.

Met him while he was still on the Mugen125. Such a cool bike and nice guy.

O'Show is so young here! Had to be tough for him no longer having his best friend David Bailey to ride with and have his motivation to feed off of. What a Champion.

Reverse Scrub!! I remember an uphill on the backside of Saddleback that had a couple jumps on it. Johnny would hit the first jump fast & hard and make the two a double (nobody was doing that) and he had to lay the bike on it's side just like a scrub today, so he could clear the second jump and land on the other side of it! Amazing rider : )

realize how much rougher the supercross tracks were back then, that's why it translated to dominating at mx, now they are designed for rhythm and air time. boring.

Same kinda music they use to put in 3X movies back in the day. Lol..! So cheesy 🧀

he drives rental cars different than the things he owns and the last 5 years of his racing he never won a race just rode for the money never finished first on suzuki or Kaw i think
