Nice riding and video but wtf is with the yelling? I raced for three years in vet class in South Cal and never yelled or had any one do it to me, I would have not been happy if the one in front save the energy n pass them idk just me!!!

Went every year from 95 to 2018. Went downhill after AHRMA left! Turned into organized drunken stupidity!

I didn't hear anything about Flat Tracking. Ohio still holds some flat track races& Vintage flat track racing.

Blendzall

That dude trying to set that 125 Elsinore was lame ....comon nobody would try to put a milk crate or plastic bucket under a bike with a down pipe

This is too dang Cool!! I was hoping to get to go to VMD this year but my wife had health issues. I WILL BE THERE NEXT YEAR!! Thanks for sharing this great video!!

Wow.....just Wow.....

Race Vintage Mx in Michigan.. is a ton of fun

I was there on Saturday I have to say that we will be going back next year and camping awesome event

Great video! Wish i owned that YZ360.

I love the sound and smell of two strokes! Grew up in the late 60s , early 70s

Always great watching the old bikes ( and racers ) still getting it done

No way I'm gonna treat that 1975 HINDA CR125M Elsinore like that, no way. Just saying. Great video by the way.

Classic CR that's what I learned on, so loud, no suspension. Than the YZ came out with Mono shock and changed everything, we started going fast.

Those bikes pit out waY more power than the chassis can handle

Beautiful Bikes !

Fun

Thanks for posting Watching some other videos of the event I saw that the prices on bikes of all kinds are nothing short of ridiculous. My conclusion is that it is no good for parts or bike searching , but the event itself? count me in , will try to make next year.

I used to holler jus like that. Little panic rev, little panic yell. Yep 40% of the time it works every time. 😂

Shout out to Broc one of my favs since early 80s. He holds the distinction of commentating the only race I've ever rewatched mostly due to the entertaining commentary at Highpoint a cpl years ago. He laughed n had fun at an incredibly difficult job.

Great event! But I am not a fan of the AMA anymore, as they do what the FIM tells them, (1986 production rule for the USA only, prices tripled in 5 years), who does what the EPA tells them, (over doubled the price of a bike again, due to EPA force),---and we can't afford a bike anymore. Looks like the "hand that feeds us", also "Slaps" pretty hard. Time to feed ourselves folks. Time for competition. These are not the CMC days. There is fruit to pick from now. Good fruit they let hit the ground,---like the 2-stroke 250 vs a 4-stroke 250, (both make about 45hp and fair to race each other),---by free will. Dictatorship have taken over what free people have built. It is time to take it back. We need rules for racing, but we don't need those rule makers telling us what to make and buy. We built it,---before the organizations were formed, and it was functional enough to afford. My thoughts. Waiting for censorship actually,---in today's USA.

I like the way you ride. Nice to see people who still know how to ride a 2-stroke (clutch and throttle especially). That also includes yelling at the guy in front of you going into the corners. I had a guy yell at me for laps in one race, "You have a flat tire!!!". The guy had me checking tire pressure in the pits after the race. lol

If the pro racers would take college courses (part time, from their home/trailer), and earned a productive degree,---they would not be so lost come retirement time. Just for 2 examples: Brian Swink may still be alive and productive, and Ping would not have had to get a job for the state (a drain on production, and actually today, a factor of the growth of communism (not free enterprise), in the USA. The fact is now, because of FIM and EPA intervention in the production of the sport, bike prices are so high, comparatively in household income, none of our 70's MX Hero's would have ever raced a bike. You can pretty much erase the record books with a "modern progressive economy" that we suffer from today. Many of us did it ourselves,---as kids. Our parents did not even know what the sport was, as it didn't exist here until we bought a MXA magazine. 3 new dirt bikes I bought in 6 years, making $1.00/hr part time at my Dads highway side 3 isle gas station, (74-81). Man, I can go on and on about how the sport has been damaged for the masses. But ti takes more than just me to help fix it. Doug in Michigan

Hey Broc man. With our education system today, every kid should be home schooled. Stick to what you "know".

I think it is funny. Handlebar set up today is to rotate the bars forward, (grip ends pointing up instead of down--with the same bar), right after freestyle got big (move the bars forward for leg trick clearance), and I think the set up is terrible for entering corners. But now, the vintage bikes on display, have the same freestyle set up on display. It is a new generation of Vintage bike owners, I guess.

Do you think McCafer welding and fabrication would be interested in helping design (routing, not tuning), and manufacture small 2-stroke pipes on a production basis? I sell a lot of smaller ported/stroked 2-stroke race engines around the world, (for a living for the last 18 years), but never had time to make pipes for my porting. Top quality is a must. Doug at Earth Surfer Performance. (ESP)

2:43 All these decades, and we see the reason why this guy still sports a 3 digit number. Good ad for the masses. Wrong generation though. lol

Did a close eye catch you riding a pit bike wearing flip flops?

Excellent video, Jerry! Great job! I really admire your fitness and your ability to ride the wheels of a vintage 1-2-5, something I was never ever good at.

Well done

Jerry you race at a higher level than most. This must be tough on your bike. My experience getting started in vintage MX seemed much easier than you talked about. I bought a 1975 Can am 250 in boxes and a rolling frame. Jay Huffman the Donie Tx promoter owned it. I only had to clean up the parts and assemble. The Rotex engine is robust and still had the orginal piston. I started riding Tx tracks and SE Ahrma races including DD, Mill creek, and Henrietta. You have seem my videos.

You forgot to mention Trampus Parker. He and Ricky are regulars at Diamond Don's.

Hi Jerry will you be racing this year's vintage MX? Clunker is AWESOME! and so are You!

Amsoil sponsors also Fork and Shock oils?

WOW WOW!!! YES! This was an awesome race, a magnificent racing story that brings back good memories of my racing days in the 70's I had an Elsinore '74 Great bikes. I'm glad you gave this rig a second life! You both won the championship. WAY to GO!!! #1 !😄👍👏👏👏

Cant wait to get my 74 hodaka out there

Its endurance not strength. Low body mass..it easier on your body for endurance.

Yeah ..carl is a fixture here in florida

Love that first shot....love the holeshot by what I see is the only guy that looks the part...yeah open face helmet and a JOFA!!!!!....Ive said it before the era deserves to be represented with authenticy just as much as the bikes

That is arguably the most coolest vintage MX video I've seen. I have the "Desolation Boulevard" album I bought in 1975....open face helmets and jofas should be mandatory if you racing anything before the "moving up the shocks era". It's not just the bikes but, the era to be celebrated and FAITHFULLY represented....carerra 98 goggles and Jofas forever!!!!

After watching video's 2 thru eight, I notice you have more corner entry speed than other riders. When others let off, you are still carrying speed. Then your mid corner acceleration is excellent also. Great Job Jerry.

Got my vote for bumping Alan Steele up!!!

WFO

Wonderful video!!

Great set of videos. Congrats!

Awesome Buddy!

Good Shit Jerome Mattox!!!!!!!

Loved the video.. keep safe
