@@chuckfarias4403They weren't outdated when this race was ran. I've been on a Yamaha 500 but not on a M X track. Guys have to be in top shape especially to run up front. Keeping those big bores on the track and staying ahead is unimaginable demanding.
I remember the catalog seein all the tuf graphics…chaparral…I forgot the other one I got all the time just before them…11yr old in 91 got my first xr80
Jean-Michel Bayle is the smoothest rider I’ve ever seen. He gave everyone fits. He looked like he wasn’t trying very hard. Fun to watch. Damon Bradshaw is the opposite of Bayle. He was an aggressive and hard rider. When he put it together he was so fun to watch, but some days he was a disaster.
I remember the old stories about Bayle at the Honda practice track's because he didn't practice much he'd always be off free riding and playing while other teammates were busting there ass on track to try to be as good as him.
Bradshaw... my home state hero... These boys today have no idea how good they have it.. Tomac or Roczen should mount 1 of these old brutes and wick it for 45 mins + 2 laps . Remember them bikes had shit for suspension so you know them boys back then were REAL MEN....
Damon held his own from the day he turned pro at 16.he could run with Ricky Johnson when Rickywas the best in the world before he broke his wrist an Damon was jus 16 only problem he would crash everytime
I remember my dad got 6th in the 1992 race in New York on the 500. I think Stanton and ward ended up winning first and second . That bike was fucking insane.
Billy's comment regarding americans leaving a "bad taste" over in Europe is hilarious! It's almost incalculable how much the WHOLE of the world hates them today. Wicked upload!
As an American who’s traveled the world for a living that hasn’t been my experience at all. Most people are very friendly and welcoming no matter where I go.
Paul Malin usedto ride at the ACU Schoolboy motocross nationals that i raced at he was in the Experts while i was in the Inter100s, he was older and in the last class before going into adult racing but he would go straight into adult racing with Team Green Factory kawasakis.
More the bike was powerfull , more JMB was better. He was not gentle with others pilots. Many american hated him because he was arrogant with them, but everyone saw many times "How can he do that ? Here , the other pilot seems not runing.". Then he went to motogp and was not anymore interested in motocross because he liked to have fun with his bike more than work and work to be at the top. For Jobé , don't imagine he was under americans, it not so simple. Each american pilots who tried "grand prix" said , "It is not so easy to beat them on their tacks each time". Jobe had a championship to play , he didn't care about americans and didn't take risk. Winnig a championship is not winning a race, a bad crash and "Bye bye championship". Now , there is many very good pilots in many countries. MXGP is very hard to win even for te "best".
226lb 250cc weight limit Roger said at the beginning. Sounds pretty heave if that is with out 7lbs of gas. My 97 KX250 was 227 without gas and the fat one of the gang.
And following next years Jean Michel Bayle was in pôle position of gp500 speed circuit .. How to say : its Michael schumacher who was happy that jmb didn t try formula 1 😅
Thats nothing... this track is very nice , but not nothing like "Sverepec" in Czechoslovakia.. thats, I m convinced, BEST TRAck MX in THE WORLD-- all U.S riders failed at Sverepec...
🇺🇸 tracks don't allow as many practice laps like they do across the pond. Glen Helen is the pinnacle of MX tracks, that's just facts. A gnarly rutted up track doesn't make it better. Slower, more dangerous, less consistent racing vs groomed perfectly so tire selection and suspension is more even across all riders.
Boy wee the hillbilly recliners are hauln asss them dragons rock crushing ground pounding stump pulling ear drum bursting manglers heathens Cadillac red neck survival story first bike at 7 yr old was a yz 250 lmao 🤣 😆 😄
45 minutes plus 2 laps. It hurts in my forearms just by watching it.
Talk to me son…250 be bad enuff but on a 500 we’re talkin Ironman type shit
7 laps would be a,tough around that track, but even thoughi gave up racing in 93' I'd still try it now.
And on outdated big bores too.

This makes me happy. But also sad I was born a little too late. I wish I could have been old enough to watch an actual 500 class in the ama.
Jean Michel had already the modern style driving of 21th century !!
Bradshaw on that WR500,so cool!

He was the most naturally-talented rider I ever watched live. So smooth, he made it look effortless.

Two stroke hero's 💪
A 500 Gp Moto Win for Wardy!! On the Mighty KX500

Thank you for this! By far the best RUclips chanel

JMB the best rider history MX/SX cross and GRAND PRIX speed circuit
JMB was the best of his time by far...
I got to see him win the Seattle sx in '91, also was at Washougal when he broke his arm, ending a serious hot streak ( did not actually see him crash)
More the bike was powerfull , more JMB was better.
He was not gentle with others pilots. Many american hated him because he was arrogant with them, but everyone saw many times "How can he do that ? Here , the other pilot seems not runing.".
Then he went to motogp and was not anymore interested in motocross because he liked to have fun with his bike more than work and work to be at the top.

Imagine if they had the chassis available today
JMB is the best ever
I was at that race at Glen Helen it was an awesome race
Do you still go there ?
WENT FROM CR480 TO CR500,THE 480 WAS WILD,500 MORE PREDICTABLE,BOTH A HANDFULL
Kx500 with a 250 perimeter frame awesome
I cant imagine racing a 500cc with the flu..in the summer.
And it was 45 + 2 back then…not 30 + 2 like we do now. That’s pretty insane.
When Moto Cross was the best! Two strokes smell of bean oil burning and strong men hanging on for dear life...
LOVE WATCHIN WARDY ON A 1/2 LITER
bayle was in his own class back then😊
These were the real men of the sport...
Let’s bring it back!
500cc motocross... coz MotoGP riders need hero's too
I was there

Bayle -- the last great 500 rider.
Is that Ned Flanders' twin brother?
3:02 the guy starting the KTM 🤣
White boots wardy.on them 500s.he could trow it around like a 250 true grit
And following next years Jean Michel Bayle was in pôle position of gp500 speed circuit .. How to say : its Michael schumacher who was happy that jmb didn t try formula 1 😅
45 plus 2 on 500s. That's inhumane.

What is that funny noise these bikes are making? Is there something wrong with the sound on this video? It's start to finish in the video.
JMB?
Big Billy Fan ..
2 45 minute motos on a 500... damn
Hey there! Do you own this footage? I'd love to license it, if so
They dont make MX races like this anymore (thats a bad thing)

Omara never rode 500s.
Yes he did. 1986 season , his last year on a Honda.
Flanders of simpsons
Lol I thought the same thing…Ned Flanders must be based on that guy 😂😂😂
