- This week on The Whiskey Throttle Show, we are joined by supercross and motocross champion, “The Icon” himself, David Bailey! Bailey was the epitome of style, technique, and precision riding. He also set the standard for work ethic and drive. And for that matter, he’s still the best damn color commentator that supercross has ever had.

It's been 3 years since this video hit CZcams and I"m just now seeing it. I wadded myself at Saddleback 2 in Jan 2002. My buddies contacted David and he put a video together with himself, McGrath, and Carmichael. I still have it today. I have no words for the impact it had in lifting me out of the deepest funk I've ever been in. I too was paralyzed at the same level as David so he knew exactly what I was going through. He followed up with a phone call a few days after the video was delivered to me in the hospital (BTW, it was so well done the nurses & doctors treating me all cried when they say it). We talked for a couple hours, which helped me in ways I didn't know I needed. I will be forever grateful for the time he took to do all that for me. He was and still is an Icon and shinning example of what a true "champion" is. Let's not overlook his wife. She's cut from the same cloth. 3 of 4 relationships/marriages fail after such a catastrophic event. The women leave, some with valid reason, others not so much. Gina is an example to be modeled after worldwide. Incredible people...
Stay strong Tim; you still a Champ
Phenominal story bro, thanks for sharing it. Prayers to you! 🙏
David Bailey is an american motocross treasure true legend not just for his racing but also as a asset to the motocross world. Thank you David and whiskey throttle.
Someone should probably make a movie about David's life quite a story.
Yes please!
@@ryanlester761 Please
Yes
Reminds me Of Dungeys Story , just got With the Right people and best team from a young age , a soaked it all up like a sponge, both of them.
I grew up watching step dad Professor Bailey back when he ran the Bell Star with the flat visor on the Bultaco. He was awesome and to watch David's progress must have been all worth the hard work.
Best Whiskey Throttle Show yet!! Grant and Ping let David talk and not talk over him. David is motocross legend and a awesome human being. Well done!!
David’s dad, Terry was an outstanding Shaper and is in the Surfboard Builders Hall of Fame. One of the all time greats!
Best show yet and that is saying a whole lot. Thanks!
I don't remember Ping looking as captivated as is he seems here, hanging on every word. Great work again guys. Brilliant stuff.
Always a pleasure to see Mr. David Bailey,thank you guys!
Wow! What an inspiration and true American hero. Thank you David Bailey. Great Interview.
Massive respect for David Bailey, a winner on and off the track.
God bless David Bailey - what an inspiration to us all!
For God so loved the world, that he gave us cancer.
UH HE MADE A MESS OF A HOTEL ROOM AND YOU THINK HES A INSPIRATION db WAS ANOTHER OVER PAYED RIDER WHY MAKING A MESS WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER -NOW HOW IS THAT FUN.HE AND OMARA WHAT A COUPLE OF DOPES -WHAT KIND OF DRUGS WERE THEY ON ?
I love Bailey. He will always be the best Supercross/Motocross commentator of all time!
Can’t believe I missed this episode for the last year. Been a long time David Bailey fan. For the last third of that interview I sat here at the table in total silence with my head in my hands listening to David softly talk about what’s real. Struggle, failure, rising again, success and peace. Just the best. Thanks for having him on.
david bailey was and still is an absolute legend
David's tender hearted conscientiousness, makes him a standout amongst his peers. His daily challenges are magnified due to extra sense of awareness.
Pray for David friends.
Nice words
yeah spraying fire extinguishers in hotel rooms really show superb awareness of the people that have to clean up the mess that over payed children make he WAS a great rider but totally unaware of his own actions in alot of situations the fact that instead of appreciating his status he used it as a way to act more like a spoiled brat than a young ambassador of the sport he should be ashamed of those stories all you over payed brats that never worked in a factory and really had to work through 12 -16 hour days make me irritated you pukes go get an actual job sitting talking is NOT ACTUAL WORK DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE POOR PERSON CLEANING THOSE HOTEL ROOMS GETS PAYED ?ALL THE CRAP MORONS DO
@@Tew730 My comment is addressed to who has become.
Met David once, he had an awful night in the Kingdome. It was a different time, my friend and I offered to help him carry his lawn chairs and other stuff back to his box van. He graciously accepted, it was obvious that he was so frustrated that night he didn't want to interact with anyone and yet he handled his disappointing evening with grace. Great respect, David is a gracious loser, a classy winner, and has proven to be an admirable human being. I wish I knew him better.
What an Icon and Legend, but also such a sincere, humble person!! Amazing interview!
David Bailey . . . so humble and great memory!
Thank You David Bailey! I needed that shot of inspiration. Glad you didn't leave that book on the shelf, and thanks for speaking out about your faith. I think your dad must be looking down from Heaven and saying THAT's MY BOY!
Also I think your wife must be a blessing from above as well. For sticking it out with you through the for better and for worst parts of life!
Thanks Again David! I needed that! May God Continue To Bless You And Your Family!
Well said!
You guys just keep one upping yourselves! Great show! Thank you David for sharing your story with us!
David is a true hero and what a roll model should be. I rode Bultaco's with him and he was a shy kid. But when he got on that bike...look out. What he has accomplished after his accident is amazing. What a MAN! He is a true hero. Tim Sexton
Wow this was so great! If you grew up in the 80’s and rode MX as a kid you idolized David Bailey. What a Champion on and off the track. ❤️
I've been waiting for This legend David Bailey
I believe myself to be 1 of the biggest David Bailey fans ever, in the 80's growing up in the hood on the outskirts of Washington DC the dream of being a motocross rider like David would get me through the tuff times of the streets. Gun fire, dope being sold, people acting crazy or whatever I could escape in my mind and look at the David Bailey poster on my wall and say I'm a race one day a be good like David. The memories of watching his races and the other dudes saved me in low times. I thank him David Bailey #1
amazing rider,amazing guy, im from the uk and would far rather meet david bailey than micheal jordan .. .absolute legend
David Bailey you are a great human being, the world is a better place cuz you are in it. Do not ever doubt that.
I rode that 1986 CR 125 & won FL 125A State Championship holeshotting every moto of the Gold Cup Series. Burst my C1 that fall though in Mini O's SX... Still made 12th in SX, 3rd in TT, and a top 5 in Mx moto... before pulling off. I was on couch all of 87. 2 weeks off couch, I swept both 1988 Gatorback Winter Am 125A Motos on a Cagiva... Loved David Bailey. Took one day class with his dad Gary in 1980 when I was Mini B. I went from 15ths at Mini Os or Winter Ams to top 5 the next race. I was #798 Glenn Somerville.
Wow I never knew Gary was his step father. The beginning of this interview is sooo heavy. Great job guys.
Me either. I was questioning my head when he kept saying his Dad Terry...
It's pretty amazing how deep of stories you guys get! Well done, I loved hearing this from David.
So much respect for David!!!!!!! I can listen to him talk for hours!
Sincere thanks guys for having Mr. Bailey on your show. Also thanks for just letting him tell his story. Such a humble, eloquent man. My favorite WT show yet.
WE NEED DAMON BRADSHAW ON THE SHOW! LET'S PLEASE MAKE THAT HAPPEN! And I loved Lake Sugar Tree, . Bradshaw whoops
Great hearing his first race was a dead last. Humble and thoughtful guy.
My gosh this was good stuff. My childhood hero.
A wonderful night David, Ping and GL. Thank you had a lot of fun and Bailey was amazing
'82, '83, '84, '85
the best era in motocross - PERIOD
the most competitive era without question.
Bomber was my idol.
Followed David since he first sat on a Honda. Unadilla, Southwick, to Gatorback and Daytona all through the 80's. Watched him win the Foxboro SX with "Patriots" on the back of his riding pants. Nothing but class and style. I still have the dayglo colored t-shirts from the many races I attended. I am so happy he is healthy. A one of a kind Legend.
I still watch his old vids riding on utube these days and the commitment and dedication, absolute legend 👏
Thank you Whiskey Throttle for another great show and an extra thank you to David Bailey, a living MX legend who I feel defined racing smart. I am a big fan of his and always enjoy listening to his commentaries which usually include a relative story to what just happened on the track. So well spoken, humble and entertaining. In closing, thanks to GL too, he is ensightful as a commentator in his own right. The best show ever and I know there is more coming from you DP
I was Lucky enough to have my Bicycle shop in the path of the RAAM race starts in California and ended up in the east coast. I was hoping to see David riding with his custom racing chair.
But still was able to see Jeff Ward riding by the shop. It was cool and still star struck over these amazing Moto Heros.
David is a inspiration for me to enjoy Life even with set backs, they make me stronger knowing David has accomplished in life after ricing.
One of my most memorable moments of David Bailey as a commentator was when he called out Damon Bradshaw's move on Ryan Hughes at the 1996 Washougal National. They were approaching the corner and David called it out before the pass took place. David Bailey is still the best commentator ever. He was just brilliant in the way he calls things out and he has a lot of funny side comments.
David is the most amazing human being, the public, outside of the motorcycle community, needs to hear his story. What an inspiring amazing story he has!!
I remember meeting David at the 99 Pontiac supercross, very nice guy.
Maybe the best interview I have ever heard. Great stuff Grant and David Pingree. He is like our Jack Nicklaus the way he talks.
You two just keep going!!!!! Again every time I think a show can’t get any better, ping & GL keep doing it week after week!
David tells the best stories!!!what a fascinating guy... I've always looked up to him but after this interview I dig him even more.what a class act this guy is!!!!!
David Bailey is the Best to a podcast with. Tells the stories perfect..
Epic Interview...
So engrossing and captivating...
Best WT interview to date !👏👍
Met David while we were both very young in early 70's. He was helping out his stepfather Gary put on mx schools at racetrack my dad was one of the owners of. Gary designed much of the track which eventually held nationals for three years (Motomasters Park Mapleview, NY). Seeing this podcast brought tears to my eyes going through the obstacles he had to go through. Even then as young boys i could see his natural riding talents at the schools but more importantly his respectful kind nature. I knew whatever he did in life he would succeed. He's certainly accomplished more post injury than pre. I'm so glad his father shared the bible with him as that is his anchor! Great job whiskey throttle for bringing out this remarkable story!
Liked haven’t even watched yet, fricken David Bailey, AWESOME, gonna enjoy this..
Dam I wanted to here more about his early races and that 82 Honda, but you guys wouldn’t let him finish.
David is one of the nicest and coolest guys at the same time, legend.
really good vibe on the episode from start to finish guys, and the really engaging david bailey painting a real picture of the past, i must of watched this 6 times now.
Whoever disliked this video, let it be known hell is waiting for you
Agree
No, hell is waiting for those who won't Repent and believe Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord .
@@raymondsiewert2720 Ok, well not everyone sleeps with their hand on a Bible.
@@raymondsiewert2720 Religion, 100% man made up. not my thumbs down.
I didn't give it a thumbs down . Christianity isn't a "Religion" , it is a Reality and a Relationship with the Creator and Saviour .
Oh man, hearing David talk about almost killing himself really kicked me in the feels
this guy wast the smoothest most technically perfect champion ever. the BEST color commentator and role model. what hes done after his injury in so impressive.
Another great show, this just keeps getting better and better most other shows have gotten stale by this point but not the Whiskey Throttle Show the momentum is just building and building love it keep up the exceptional work lads.
Wow! I had no idea GL was from South Africa! 🙃 But seriously. Awesome show. I can't believe the details Bailey can remember. Simply Amazing and Inspirational to listen to what he has gone through and overcome. I really don't think I've seen GL & Ping so captivated. But how could you NOT be. Such a Legend! 🏁🤙😎
DB is a man of character; great show, good people.
All these guys have a special thing about them. GL and Ping as well. The life story of all these Moto guys is awesome.
Fantastic show! And because of y’all and being a former volunteer firefighter (16) yrs I tryed the coffee rum infused of course! One word! Amazing!! Everyone should try there coffee! Totally worth the money! And goes to a good cause!
Re-watching 2000 and 2001 outdoors, love DB’s commentary, so un-biased and so much knowledge
Epic Video, good stuff keep them coming.
I was mesmerized just watching this. Ping you were right, great story teller! Thankfully I am in VA and this year actually did a private class with Gary at Lake Sugartree and got to hear some cool stories from him(while i was rebuilding my carb in the parkinglot...)
Loved the show. David is the BEST!!
What a great ambassador for the sport...
This is the best part of my week! Love the show guys!
damn, your life must suck
Epic show!🤘 Hell yeah keep up the awesome work 🍻
The MX Des Nations is a total joke now. They’ve been trying to figure out the best way to make it difficult for the US for quite a long time. I love how Villopoto beat everyone on a 250!!!
@Steve DhiJohnny O'Mara smoking 2 world champs on their works 500's while on his borrowed production 125 has to be more impressive. He finished 2nd to only Bailey,who was on a 500.
What a show! What a Man!
Get bob Hannah on here
JD Greenman and Mark “Bomber” Barnett.
Bob, the best at not holding back so we all know that !
Yes!!!
Best show so far guys. DB is an absolute champ.
3:08:14 Hahaha....David said (on air) that Albertyn was like "watching a porcupine play with a balloon...it was only a matter of time".
actually that was davi coombs who said it Daytona 97
David said it about Albee....I will never forget.
it was hilarious but I promise it was davi coombs heat 2 97 Daytona supercross.
He's the Tom Hanks of motocross
This episode is one for the ages.
Love to see a David Thorpe episode.
Hannah rode the '82 Honda RC250 at Anaheim, Seattle 1 and Seattle 2. He switched to the '83 in Atlanta.
I went to a Gary Bailey riding school when I was young, and I remember he had a whip and if you were sitting down and he saw it he would smack you to get you to stand up
The man and always will be in my book...
I had no idea Bandit was this down to earth, he's the polar opposite of most of the guys back then. I have so much more respect for him having seen who he really is.
I first saw Grant Langston at a local race at Perris raceway in California. I kept hearing this "noise". It was that stretched metal,tire thump boom! Thud! Groink! Thud Boom! Stretch some more metal till it shrieks,then repeat. The noise a bike makes when it lands a double short with a dead engine. Thud and stretching frame,and bottoming suspension. But this was over and over again, maybe 10 reps. I walked towards it and found it was Langston, carrying the front wheel in the air as he went through a section of stadium whoops. Just catching thetop of each whoop, about ten feet apart and five foot tall. Thud,thud,thud,etc. Lap and lap again. Impressive. It did bite his ass before days end,but wow! The crap we do when young and sure of our invincibility!
nice job guys!!!!
Art Eckman and David Bailey the best commentators ever
Thank you.
I was at Huron when he went down and remember talking to him at Hollister in 86 at a 500 national about how big his calves had gotten. Lol
2:12:56
Social media is fucked
Remember one thing boys and girls you don't have to be on it - you CHOOSE to be
I miss my childhood, no cell phones, no cable, no internet - NO problems
Magoo's Boot High Leather moccasins he wore them at a Unadilla morning track walk!!
Great stories .. I know all the names of the Motocross racers .. from 1975 to 1980.. Don't know the current names very well ..
I have seen all of the guys mentioned in this Video at Red Bud.. Which was my Favorite track of all for armatures before they built the monstrous doubles and Triples ..
DB probably the smoothest rider
What’s a Matchless😂🤣😎
1st and only grand national mx champion!
I would love to see that equation! I'm not having luck finding it on the site...
Johnny Marley was by far the fastest rider around at that time. I new him and rode at the same time as he did. Man that guy was fast. I would love to see what he could have done on a factory ride.
One of my best 30:40:14 of my life..
Seek and You wiLL find . . .Knock and the door wiLL be opened . . .
Lil Professor
Pingree nailed it 2:20:59 😂
Need to have David and Jeremy McGrath together
SuperStarsOfMotoCross
Kdub. Not really wasted talent but man i wish he would have gotten more victories out his career. I loved watching him ride! Shorty too! Not really guys that wasted talent but guys that could have gone farther. There were a lot of guys that just came pro in the premiere class in the era of mcgrath, RC, JS, Reed and just were fast but just not fast enough.
Where is this show filmed?
1:06:10 - O'Mara ran all the red lights. aha aha
