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.
That is AWESOME, Marc! Glad you watched and enjoyed this classic race. Make sure to check out all the great videos that Gary Bailey has posted on his channel. It's my favorite on CZcams. Those were the days. We were lucky to live in that era. God bless you, buddy.
Loved Supercross racing alot better back then than now.All of these Guys are Legends.I still remember most of their Names.Always seeing them on TV and reading about them every month from my Motocross Action Magazine.
@@singletracktrekker4033 Thanks for showing us a prime example of the kind of cowardly jerks that are so indicative of the present generation.. You are just another punk hiding behind his mommy's computer .
Thanks for sharing. Love the purity of the old days. These factory bikes sound brilliant and absolutely rip. And those old adverts, such a great time to live in.
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
This is as rare as it gets!!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Never thought I would get to watch this one.🙏 Just PURE GOLD! Real works bikes! Magoo on a factory Honda…Hansen…just 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
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.
Good quality film , great action and we get to see Magoo. What more could you want. A commentator with a clue , but not many did back then. Thanks for posting, much appreciated.
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!!
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.
One of my co workers let me ride his 82 RM 250 it was very good for that time...i was really impressed with the motor. ..suzuki notorious for a short powerband but very quick hit it was...a lot of fun...
I had an 82 Suzuki RM 250 than I raced back then.Won 4 times,3 seconds and came in first my first Motocross race.Came in second place for the season.It did have a hard hitting power band.
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...
Darrell Shultz was like an early prototype of Jeffrey Herlings. Kind of a bigger kid, blazing fast, and prone to crash. If they stay up on two wheels they are probably going to win.
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
Real works bikes!!!! Yeah!! The original Full Floater rear suspension was amazing, even stock!! But it has changed now!! Suspension is super stiff in the front!
I’m standing beside the track in a couple of shots. Very cool, I still have my program. My father and Uncle were both pros In early 70s and we saw Bill Davis from American Honda and we got into the pits.
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?
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 ?
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 👍
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.
That's a joke. Tracks back then were more grueling not manicured like today's tracks. They were longer also. These guys were beasts. If they were in their primes today they would smoke these kids.
Killer footage and the early 80's Suzuki's were fast bikes and great suspension!! Still have an 83 rm125👍👊😎🇨🇦

Same hear.. I raced at Red Bud on my 1978 Yamaha YZ-100-E at age 17
@@mikeskidmore6754 True but that was in 2019 when you raced RB.
42 years, its all the same
Old school classic here. . Love these old supercross races. . The 80s. We're the best

Like I told someone else, if you haven't seen On Any Sunday it's a must see. The motorcycle racing documentary that towers above all others
OK boomer
@@singletracktrekker4033 OK as in you're going to take my advice, or a sarcastic OK as in being a jerk? Just asking
Exactly what I did

Dangerous Darrell Schultz, mark the bomber Barnett, jumping Jim Gibson, Bob hurricane Hannah, Donnie hole shot Hansen The glory days of Supercross.

Brilliant point, there. I was just watching Anaheim 85 on The Professor's channel and wondering how the crowd was so huge.

Legendary
All those sponsors, fans, owners, worker's especially commentators...
Good job
Great stuff!👍
Awesome memories.
Thanks!
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.
Those 82 works Hondas were a piece of art..! The Kawis too!!!
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...
Great footage, thanks for sharing!
Most welcome, brother Phil. Keep it pinned.
Thank you very much, nice 👍 😊
Absolutely phenomenal! So awesome to come across this and thankful too be able watch it!!!!
That rocks, man. Glad it's being enjoyed. Be sure and check out the Gary Bailey channel for some REALLY amazing race footage.
Dave despain lovin him...a berm basher mark would probably laugh he worked hard...
Thanks for video
Shultz has to be the fastest muscular & tall MX'er and SX'er ever. He was big and must have weighed 190+.
He was awesome, wasn't he?! Roger knew to pick him up for his badass Honda crew w Magoo, DB, and O Show!
Yeah he sure was. Too bad his career was cut too short by injuries.
Darrell Shultz was like an early prototype of Jeffrey Herlings. Kind of a bigger kid, blazing fast, and prone to crash. If they stay up on two wheels they are probably going to win.
John Rienholt was...80s 90s
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.
Real works bikes!!!! Yeah!! The original Full Floater rear suspension was amazing, even stock!! But it has changed now!! Suspension is super stiff in the front!
Amazing how few obstacles there were. Especially compared to modern tracks.
I always loved watching the Bomber ride the wheels off that Suzuki
They should still be racing on Tracks like this Today not on the Rhythm Jumping courses they have in 2024.
Nice to see this really enjoying this
Hey there! Do you own this? I'd love to license it for a video I'm working on
I was there!!
you lucky dog! Did Magoo ever try to double anything that day that nobody else would?
I’m standing beside the track in a couple of shots. Very cool, I still have my program. My father and Uncle were both pros In early 70s and we saw Bill Davis from American Honda and we got into the pits.
Awesome! I am jealous.
I raced with a Joe Rogers from Georgia .... Way back in the day 👍
How’s Hansen’s name not in your title? Awesome video. Thanks!
on the commentary .... amazing some of them are doing styles over jump ;-) dont worry about thashphault mega
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.
Did hannah run the #4 plate before he ran the #100 plate, or after?
4 was after.. He had that 100 in 81. Loved the 100 and that Browny took it on, too.

Goast Busters ambulance
Datsun, Penthouse and Bill Shatner all in the ADS?!
Barnett now makes the tracks .. the old tracks are better
Classy win strong skillset
Wish he hadn't had the knee troubles.. he would've gone on to win more.

Sport has come a long way. There are kids on 65s at our local club who would beat these guys.
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.
You're just kidding
Just remember that the tracks back then weren't prepped anywhere near what they are today..
That's a joke. Tracks back then were more grueling not manicured like today's tracks. They were longer also. These guys were beasts. If they were in their primes today they would smoke these kids.
You can tell that commentating for motocross Supercross has come a long way and comparison for example this Goon
Man, I dig ol' Larry Myers.. go easy on 'em. :) Broc Glover did a killer job guesting this year. Cameron Steele was always cool, back in the dzay.
Scott Burnsworth! Haven't heard that name in a while!!
weymas scott fast new england also carlos s was a fast guy so fun i miss those days so much
So slow and no style looking back, C class California riders of current would smoke the best of the best in 1982. Wow this sport has come a long way!
