Bob Hannah gives an exclusive video interview with Motocross The Golden Era. In his typical no-holds-barred style, Hannah gives his outspoken views on the sport that he once dominated. Hear about the endless training, the truth about his factory bikes, the bike he'd have raced for free, and the Hannah trait that so many racers lack.
They should make a movie about Rick Johnson. 1986-1988!
Great interview ,thanks !! I really enjoyed listening to Brad and learning more about his amazing career. Congratulations world champion 🇺🇸🙌🏻 and congratulations on your marriage of 50 plus years 🤘🏼
Totally agree with what Rick said in the end. You couldn't psyche out riders from his generation. When the 90's rolled around, things were different. With the exception of Emig, Larocco and Kiedrowski, the riders from that era were afraid of McGrath. Same thing with the RC era. I remember Hannah was dominating the '83 supercross season but then Barnett stole a double-header from him. Mike Bell who was in his last year won Dallas. Broc was Bob's target the whole year but he just got better as the year unfolded. Broc won the Pittsburg and L.A. rounds. Jeff Ward had yet to win a supercross in '83 but he was always right there.
I get giving a guys a chance but please don't do the NASCAR thing. It's called racing for a reason. Don't muddy it up!
seeing Bob in a trump t shirt i like him even better
I used to call him my ‘Rockstar’ He was handsome, cool (duh) , Fun, gentle , hardworking, modest!!! and his family was his lifeblood…. He loved Nancy so much and all his children and growing grandchildren . I never saw he or nancy argue or bicker ….. I miss them so much. Life will never be the same. I used to call him the BRAD PITT of Motocross before I met him
Freakin coolest rider Ever.. TY for the memories Champ 🤙👊✌️
What a great, smart guy!
I knew I always love this guy. TRUMP!!
This my era to race. Ricky was my vicarious mentor. I was born in the wrong state, a state with no chance of being seen.
RJ had so much style
Just love RJ !
RJ should write an autobiography/motivational book.
Damn right you could beat them today! That’s the problem I feel with these riders is they are the 8-10 sec deficit when they get to second place and they just stay there. You, RC, Stewart, Tomac, Degan, would see it as a challenge and run them down! Never give up attitude.
Deegan by far the greatest most exciting rider of all time!!!!
maybe someday, calm down, that's just stupid
What a great, humble guy, and at the same time, a legend. We miss you Marty. Thanks for all you did for the sport.
On his day, fastest man in the world. In his prime, not easy for even the latest hero to tackle. 👍👍👍👍
RJ was, and still is my man.
IMO, the biggest Hero of RJ was when he and Brock were on the production based YZ's. That production rule stemmed from the FIM to halt bike development in the USA only, (to disadvantage our dominant riders since 1981.), and RJ, on a "disadvantaged bike", still smoked the FIM through 1988 (further if he did not get hurt). Every USA racer who still won the MXofN for the next 8 years straight (after the 1986 USA only production rule), is a bigger hero than we or they realize. Eventually, the FIM had to directly take over our racing, in order to beat us.
I see today's "redundant" track designs for SX---the same as what we could do on a 2000 Motocross Madness video game track editor. Would love to interview one the the early track builders, who I believe started "Dirt Works", Mark Barnett, and hear what his opinion is.
A good track design is a track that #1, separates the talent, (10 guys on the same second is not a separation of individual talent), and #2, design the track so both inside and outside lines in the corners, yield competitive lap times.
The faster 4-stroke, (forced on the industry by a dictatorship called the EPA), did complicate those goals though. Because when you put a faster engine in a race machine, the tracks gets faster, and thus---smoother. To bad we think the EPA has the right to force what ever they want on an industry in the USA. Have you noticed, no EPA regulations are included for china as we gave communism our wealth making production that free people created in the first place? It is not about "saving the planet".
3:14 What a great nostalgic picture of kids in the 70's getting into the fast growing sport of riding dirt bikes. Kids, we could afford it back then. That is not just a picture of a couple kids in So.Cal. That is a picture of all of rural USA. Dirt bikes to kids back then, was almost as popular as cell phones today. Man, that was a lot of opportunity. It all started with our freedom to do so, and a economy that can only be spurred by free enterprise, and not force. That pic is a pic of rural USA in the 70's.
Right at the beginning, a bad habit we have, the promoter does not groom the track often because "This is how much money I am going to make.". I never saw a rich track owner/race promoter. How about we recognize the marxist "anti profit" (UNLESS COMMUNISM MAKES IT), propaganda that was thrust down our throats, and stop demonizing all the guys who take risk in business that gives us the opportunity to chase our dreams and make money also. I bet RJ is worth more than any track owner in the world. That is good for him and the sport. The only people we should demonize because of the profit they make, are businesses getting favors from a government. Off the track---we are not very sharp.
That leading comment is par for the course for the channel owner also, as i heard him say that all the companies in the USA making money, by making great aftermarket parts was "out of control". Well, it looks like the government EPA telling us what to make and buy (by force, not free will trade as in the 70's), greatly damaging the sport (grew in the 70's),--is "Out Of Control". Yea, I see why that RJ comment lead the vid. I will most likely be banned from the channel now, for figuring it out and sharing my knowledge.
It doesn’t get any better than Rick Johnson. What an absolute pro.
Brads eye browes look silly
I wish I could sit down and talk to RJ, listen to RJ, for hours!
Mandatory yellow? How lame is that...
Absolutely! ‘80s were the best. RJ was the baddest when he rode Yammies…🤙🏻🇺🇸
RJ is one of the best ever and I think also great at sharing insights. It would be nice to hear him commentate more in the booth at the races or in podcasts etc...
❤🤗🥰
"I hated running. I had big legs...I felt like a Clydesdale running, but I would do it." 😅
I remember RJ a the last Carlsbad race we watched from the middle of the downhill freeway he was going 70 mph down that hard pan
I remember watching Rick and Ward battle it out at Red Bud. They would hit stuff differently . This made for great racing!
Johnson would be my pick to fulltime announce supercross and pro motocross. What we have currently is mostly hyperbole and distracting. The current crop of announcers need to calm tf down. James Stewart and Jason Thomas do all right...just all right. Oh, and cancel Carmichael and Christien.
The problem is NBC. Not the announcers they hire and control. I think RC has lost IQ points working with them. When you work with stupid/dysfunctional people,---you probably become stupid too.
For all to see on TV---and stay stupid. :)
I’m 62 now. Love seeing the guys I looked up to as a kid
Right there with ta buddy 👊✌️
RJ was the best, long live the bad boy club......
Bob was 100% right about Unadilla. It was a SIN the first time they groomed that track.
Always enjoyed Hannah’s racing but a trump stain on his shirt. The only people dumber than that mf’er are the people who support him.
Bob needs to remove that blue stain on his shirt
Parts 2 and 3 would be nice!
"Evolution" doesn't end yet some things shouldn't change: No wonder we lament.
Again, Marty, and Nancy are still here....grazie!
As you commentary, I do now expect.....A state of privilege you have....Thank you for sharing.
Mr Hannah says 2 things: It was never about the money vs. I'd never do that again but I'm still walking......Good 4 'im!
"Stealing": almost like when you learn to wheelie with the rear brake against the throttle....
Saw 'im at Unadilla......More than good enuff!
As started, "motocros" was natural terrain.....Supercross is synthetic to only "Pack 'em in" and charge more......No more track view points up in a tree, like Unadilla. No more cruising the pits to actually say hello and the Boyz.....
Great job of asking good questions in this interview and giving him the space to tell us about stuff that we don't always hear about.
I was lucky enough to get introduced to Brad through a mutual friend at a vintage MX race earlier this year, then got to chat with him one-on-one for about 20 minutes. It was an enjoyable conversations that flowed from one thing to the next and I wish I'd had more time to chat with him. This interviewer in this video does a very good job of asking good questions and giving him the chance to open up about his career.
Thanks for the k8nd words. Brad is cool.
Rick Johnson, The BEST. My hero , Maurício Papaléo #3 from Rio de Janeiro- Brasil
A no bullshit guy like Hannah is refreshing, of course he would be a Trump supporter and a Republican.
