I started riding in 1977 considered myself very lucky to be involved in motocross ,58 now I still have 2 MX bikes .Many thanks to our parents great days.
Watching this took me right back.. I started about age 9 in 73/74.. Broke leg in 76.. Age 11.. Best 2 years of my life.. Glad I saw this video.. thanks
A bit before my time 85-92, I got up to the nationals having won 100cc at Kensworth+DSSC and 2nd Stevenage,SSC, great to see Chippenham and the chalk reminded me of a track around the M25 that was terrible in wet.
I like Mark Banks riding style just like riders from the 60's era very straight body . That was the fastest xr75 I bet his father done a bit of tuning to it .
It looks like this footage is from 1977 or 1978 . If so the RM 80 was the fastest around a track ( far better power band . The YZ 80 was the winner in a drag race . The XR 75 was decent on both yet couldn’t really hang . The riders here on Honda’s dominated due to skill , not ( stock ) performance. My stock assessment is dead-on for that year on stock bikes. I can still smell burning Bel-Ray Awesome memories
Hello, I'm working on a TV show and looking for vintage scrambling footage and this would be perfect. I'd love to discuss if you're interested. Let me know, thank you!

Love the Vintage throwback Riders and Racers what a great time in history. 👍 SO much better than modern day racing and modern day Society.
Thank you for this vid, it brought back so many great memories. I stated "scrambling" in the cadets in 1981 with a RM50, still ride "MX" today
