- Doug Henry was a three-time AMA Motocross national champion in the 1990s. He was on the leading edge of a revolution in professional motocross racing by becoming the first prominent rider to race four-stroke machines in national competition against a sea of traditional two-stroke motorcycles. Just a few years after Henry became the first four-stroke rider in AMA Motocross history to win a national championship in 1998, AMA Motocross Championship racing would become almost exclusively the domain of four-stroke bikes. After retiring from motocross full-time, Henry went on to become one of the leading Supermoto riders in the world.

So i went to Steel City in 93. Reynard won as a rookie that year, but Doug and Emig fought it out for the championship. I talked to Doug, who was my absolute idol about getting a jersey. He said hey, i will give you one if you drive my wife to the gate in my rental car. I said of course, i was like 17 years old. He says i have to catch a flight right away, so if you can get her to the gate you can have my jersey. I did, and he always treated me like a true friend, i still have the jersey. Doug Henry is a legend no doubt. This pocast was super long, but so worth hearing. You guys are great! Thanks.
Who on earth would give this a thumbs down!!???
PULPMX?
knuckleheads
RacerX, PulpMX, anyone who rides a quad...
Whoever said Pulpmx and racer mx.is a dumb shit.
One of my favorite riders of the 90's. A great role model for kids.
Met him at a Supermoto race in 2006. He was so nice. Plus he won that night. I still have my "Doug Henry whats stopping you" blue wrist band.
I first saw Doug Henry many years ago on a Honda CR125 at Mt Morris. To me, he is one of the Icons in mx, sx , supermoto history. Much respect for this guy. I loved seeing him clinch at Steel City.
I was a MX racer, lost an arm and fucked up my neck in a off track incident in 1977. I started riding again a few years ago and I'm having a blast. I resurrected a 1990 Suzuki DR 250 and use it to run the gravel roads and trails of North Central Montana. I'm a Doug Henry fan. Pre Internet and reading magazines in study hall we would read about the wreck but not the wheel chair results. I'm happy to see life went on for others as it did for me. Good job Whiskey Throttle. A sad toast of respect for Danny Chandler and my old buddy Rocky. WFO Boys.
OMG Grant you totally nailed calli on the straws. That was awesome !!!!! I grew up at Steel City in Delmont Pa. I live in simi Valley,ca. and ya,cali sucks for the over regulation.
One of my favorite supercross races ever is the 1997 Seattle SX. To me, that was a very exciting race. Lusk led early but cross-rutted. Larry Ward took over and Henry came from behind and passed him. Later on Jeremy charged into second place. That was an awesome race.
I think Doug would be great in the booth at the races. He's genuine, personable and talks well. Sign him up.
Doug Henry is my hero. I have found determination and humility to be beyond inspiring. There are riders thst have won more however they are just fast riders. There none that come close to having the positive qualities of this man
Thanks ping ang GL.another great show.
Great Interview of Doug Henry. He stands taller then most of us in Life. He makes me want to realize what I have and enjoy each day, as if I may not have what I have tomorrow. But never give up and look forward instead of, What if I would have.
I remember Doug won L.A. 2 and Seattle and I was really excited. I thought Yamaha was going to win the SX title. I've always been a Yamaha boy and I've always liked Doug. Daytona was a real downer for me. I was really happy when he won Las Vegas.
Great show as usual. DH you are legendary and a positive role model. Ping and GL. Please get Guy Cooper on the show.
So great to see Doug Henry again what a great rider he was always remember when he over jumped in the outdoors I seen it live it was crazy !
Doug is one my moto heroes growing up in Ohio. I even rocked his replica helmet. I loved hearing how he dealt with all that life through at him. Took it on the chin like a man. It's good too see he is still doing well. Thanks for being totally awesome!
McGrath, Emig and Henry were the three guys for me during the mid to late 90's. I remember seeing Henry on the DGY Yamaha in '92. He almost won Seattle I think until he went to far out in a right hand sweeper and his bike sucked up a lot of banners. Swink ended up winning that race.
I love Doug. He was a great rider, always positive, and seems like a nice guy, but I'm not surprised that he's partially paralyzed. He's cut from the same mold as Magoo Chandler, Guy Cooper and Travis Pastrana. He was always on the edge, and could be dangerous to be close to on the track. I saw that works YZ400F in action at Glen Helen in '97, and really was a thing of beauty to see up close. I'd never seen a full works bike before. I wish him the best!
The only autograph I ever collected for myself was Doug Henry’s. Such a champ. An inspiration to be an overcomer.
Doug is more of a hero to me now than back in 98. Such a rad dude and his never give up attitude is so inspiring. Thanks again for another great gest!
The man the myth the Legend!
Doug Henry has always been one of my hero's. Love to see him on the show. Get Jeremy up there.
I second that motion sir, on both of your statements. Remember Doug was one of he first guys to race the yz400. He still rides, DH, a specialized dirtbike, it's worth digging up on CZcams!
GL don’t sell ya self short. People waited in lines to get a glimpse of you as well. Doug rocks.
A real good human being,respect.Thanks.
Doug Henry is like the Steve Irwin of Motocross.I remember first knowing anything of Doug Henry at the Millville national. Immediately I noticed he definitely stood apart from everyone the way he rode with "gusto".
He was on the gas later and then earlier than everyone and doing stuff first you could see the top guys looked nervous doing all day. Like he was born without a fear gene.
Man riding a Banshee on a supercross track to get ready for Snowcross. DH was a beast!!!
Henry on that 400 holeshot at glen Helen just lit the crowd on fire such a rad time in moto 🤙
Doug Henry real hero a gladiator never gives up beyond inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!
DH is class act. Inspiring
I have Mike Craig's pants from that 95 Dallas race. Clogged the hotel shower drain cleaning them before I flew home 🤣
Funny timing you just liked that comment.....was packing some boxes for a move and just had those exact pants in my hands 20 mins ago. Good times:)
Rich, such an awesome video. Your dog is great btw! The live mic while riding is so helpful too.
Doug has always been a hero and a legend!! I loved watching this. Thanks!!
Doug Henry your the man! God bless you and your an inspiration!!
Watch the first heat race of the '98 Seattle Supercross. Pay attention to how Henry got the lead. To me, that was the perfect block pass. David Bailey: "BRILLIANT MOVE."
Doud your a legend !!! what a great guy. Always been one of my favourites since the terrafirma videos ✊🏻 braaaap.
Yes!! Gosh you guys are putting out some bangers! Keep it up!!
Whiskey throtle show made my week...i saw the Baily,,show that was Awsome. Also saw the Hanson show ..then on my drive back to Ocala FL ..from Clermont FL friday night after work..i listened.. to the henry show ..awsome...i also saw the honda mechanic show Brian lunis..show..that week...hope to see Jeff Ward and Lechien on your show...soon...
I remember feeling genuinely happy when I read about Doug winning rounds 2 and 4 of the '97 Supercross series and I remember feeling crushed when I read about him injuring his hand after an incident with Button. He finished 10th at Daytona that year.
Best show ever!!!!!!!!
Good show!! Personal opinion ppl are gettin upset u guys are talking also..no worries its more exciting listening to the conversation of u 3 interacting and talking with each other than u guys reading questions off cue cards and just listening to one guy talk..the conversation opens up more when ever one talks and share, hope u keep the show goin I like Langston and enjoy listening on the motocross races...
Part 2,,,i left motocross in 1994,,i worked as a const equipment operator over 30 years now..my brother owns a excavating and tree care co in Norwalk CT..i got arested in 2014 while living in my 1997 dodge van for breach of peace..i fled ct worked in northern..NJ ....2 years.doing Paving ...i moved back to CT in 2017 and turned my self in..and was sent to state Prisons...held on 10 grand cash bond..held 6 months in Bridgeport and Osborn...in a level 4 ...prisons...(.level 5 is) (super max)..why i dont know..???.i was offerd a full pardon ..paper work when i got out..it takes 5 years ...so i just gave up with CT..and moved back to Florida...got out .oct 2,2017...no felony..1 misdemeanor..

God bless ya brother. I'm a North Jersey boy born & raised now residing & working in beautiful NW Ohio. Saw Doug Henry break his arms at Budds Creek MD. Almost everyone had tears in there eyes. Be proud of ur home grown CT boy. #MXforLife
Great show again guys, just awesome from a fan of all you rippers!
F*UCK Yes Doug Henry!!!!!!!! My fellow CT brother
One hell of a man. Don't make em like that anymore
Such a Legend. Hey Doug, wait until you can say its been 35 years!
Great episode with Doug!....👍
Gotta love Doug rode with him and Dowd in 2000 at my Mike Leavitts motocross track where I trained the week of unadilla rock on Doug #20
I’m just at the part of the jump at Buds and you guys talking about dreams, dam I had those too and still do years later, wtf is that about.. I was also never afraid to jump or go big, broke my wrists, leg, back, neck ribs in many crashes over the years, before my 30s no jump ever scared me, I used to do no feet no hands cross ups, whips before they were called that etc, it’s not a fear thing I think, I always thought it was just me that had those dreams, glad I am not alone and first time ever heard another rider talk about it.
Respect to Doug Henry on that, the outcome may not have been what he wanted but this always cemented you him to me as a legend, you know everyone of the top guys has that one thing they did you’ll never ever forget, this was Doug’s to me, interesting story he tells. awesome guys.
Awesome...one of my favorites! Doug Henry was always awesome to watch at the races. Ping and G.L. I thought you guys were going to start making out after the yamaha video montage....lol
This is the best show on CZcams today! Too bad Ping is the only one left standing now!
Awesome Interview! God Bless..
Recently caught your show very impressed keep up the good work
Doug helped me be even more of a Yamaha freak.
I remember having that fox poster in my club house when I was a kid . So rad !!
Doug Henry! Too cool.
Been waiting for this!!!!
Few years ago, I arrived to one of our local night tracks a little late after work. While gearing up, I saw Doug on the track just waxing everything. Turns out it was and adaptive class practice and all of them were shredding. Amazing skills🏁🏁🏁🏁
Grant and Ping, you guys have a great show, but please allow the guest to finish comments before interjecting thoughts or comments. The show would be that much better. It seems that the guests are cut off a lot. Still love the show and will continue to listen. Just a little constructive criticism
Got to meet him a Unadilla this year. It was cool watching those guys do a lap there this year.
great show men.
these were my times on a mini. cops were cool tho. big fan of Doug and always will be
If I remember correctly, Doug Henry came back at the Atlanta SX in 96.
love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey - i have a 1991 CR 250 ..in a shed ! . . no bullshit ! . . it holeshoted the 1998 superbowl of motox day qualifier , against 2 factory hondas and a factory suz . . no bullshit
The '98 Las Vegas Supercross was supposed to be great. I remember Doug and Jeremy flying in the air side by side and looking at each other. That was very exciting. It was just unfortunate that they ran into Larocco. I think Mike was having trouble with some backmarkers when they ran into him.
Henry was a full time 250 rider in '94. He beat Jeremy in a heat race which surprised Honda management. Ward retired after the '92 season.
There is a time to speak, and a time to listen...
I lost track of who was being interviewed.
Awsome Show,,wierd i just watched the Hanson show this week,,@ was going to write asking for Henry interview,,iam also Orig From CT,Norwalk,was a New York racer ,and member of Milford Riders..started racing in 1987,,after seeing the Motocross desnations..in Unadilla NY ..in the mud

@Toby Rodgers your a geeked up low life..big mouth..
@Toby Rodgers dirt bag..big mouth..punk bitch..
Grew up racing in NESC, dowd and Henry ere my idols , three rivers road practice track was the shit
Grant, your old sayings aren't old sayings lol. I've never heard of any of YOUR old sayings. Also Grant, you're a good dude but I feel you cut off your guests too often by adding your own stories. Otherwise, I love the show.
Non better than Doug Henry, just an impressive man. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I put him right up with david Bailey as the ultimate badass
1997 125 cc shootout at Las Vegas. 1. Windham 2. Dowd 3. Pingree.
O es my héroes.
the whiskey throttle is a must see for me. His son has some crazy skills on the jump rope.
Do a show with Billy Liles. He was a top finisher in the days of all top finishers behind the gate. He was a hick from GA that did well in Europe and the mxdn too
Heard somewhere he wasn’t well, he was very good to me when i raced in Europe
@@angelosantaniello4113 angelo, by not well what are you referring to?
64maxpower I read somewhere that he was in hospital
64maxpower maybe on vital Mx?
14:14 makes me want a Yamaha 2 stroke now!
YEE YEE!! Keep it up guys. Burn tha dirt.
Love the interview with Doug. Ping can you try and get Jeremy McGrath on the show. Keep up the good work
1:20:00 - Every day above dirt is a good day.
Hey GL im sure that sand section that DH & Dowdy were freeriding into a junk car was a place in Corona/ El Cerrito called White Sands. Its most likely a tract home development by now!
Tony Blazier took his goggles off
Watched the Kiedrowski show, and the PowerDot interview and purchased it.
Once again the Florida off road shows it’s fury
Grant, let the man speak.
Need lusk and dowd. All the guys we had to read about before the net.
Hell ya.
I call BS on avoiding politics Ping. Let 'er rip buddy!
Ping!! Thanks to DH we came up with this...”two things you have control over in this life ‘ your Thoughts even those random ones ( you know what we’re talking about) and your actions...
I think this is the second time i have watched/listened to Doug's story. One of my all time favorite riders and a complete legened. Definitely the positive. Shame there is/was a massive negative. I really feel Grant is a massive downer on this interview. Doug's asked a question and Grant answers for him or tells something about his life. So bad. Then hearing Doug explaining about the conditions at a track one event and Grant starts adding his bit with specifics of these conditions and then he ststes, "I wasnt even there". Then the call at the TLD break by Grant about "arr, i need to stretch my back". Fark GL, shocking call.
Si, Christchurch, NZ.
I got a Sedona tire it was great! Dunlop’s are 50% more expensive and last 50% as long

The new treatment of early onset treatment is critical, now patients are started with Cryotherapy both externally and internally with cooled IV fluids that helps cool the body down, part of that process also involves the use of steroids which also help reduce the inflammation process. As you mentioned in many cases of spinal cord trauma the inflammation or swelling of the spinal cord and surrounding tissue results in permanent neurological loses.
PS you guys met My Brother Spencer at MX de nations @ Red Bud, and you have a very interesting story of what happened The Red Bud on location of the Whiskey Throttle Show, after the show of exploring Lot B, and trying to work and Ride the next day.
I always laugh my nuts off when GL and Ping talk about the early KTM 250 SX. I unfortunately owned 98 and 03 models. Good engines. Chasis and PDS was unpredictable, actually scary.
*HE DID RACE IN THE 1996 SUPERCROSS SERIES!!*
Search CZcams for St. Louis Supercross 1996 (it was the same race which Jeff Emig became the only rider to break Jeremy McGrath’s 1996 Supercross Season Streak & Art Eckman did a whole side-promo thing about it being his first race back
Such an Inspirational Legend! I''m actually a little bit pissed off that I watched this though. Cuz now I'm gonna have to throw a whole shit load of my excuses out the f'n window.
Actually, Albertyn won the first moto at Steel City '98. He was really hauling. Doug won the second moto and the overall. I think Pichon had a bad crash also.
9 thumbs down? I need a list, we need to talk!
It’s because of the show itself and Ping being a douche.
Doug is an absolute legend though
Cool story. Why listen then??
Great show, as always.....👍
Tim Ferry won Washougal in 2007 on a Yamaha..
Connecticut, the "you're an outlaw if you ride a dirtbike" state, always getting chased by DEP and the local law men. Was bad then, still to this day sucks for dirtbikers here.
Keep riding for life!! #Ohio
Politians are ruining California, sad to see. Great video though, Doug is an inspiration. Shows you not to give up. Was cool watching him ride when I was going up.
Ezra was forced into the 250 class in 93
