      I got to meet him when I was a kid. Wish I still had the picture of me with him. Him and Pastrana and the metal Militia guys were my absolute idols as a kid

    Mad respect for this guy, fast as hell, innovator, down to earth and humble. Great spokesman for both of these sports. So sad when I heard of the injury.

    In the 10ish years I haven't looked into snocross I forgot he was paralyzed but I also never knew how it happened. It honestly brought tears to my eyes seeing that his actual first love with motorsports ultimately altered his life in one of the most devastating ways possible. My hat is off to him for finding a way to turn it into such a positive outcome for himself is one of the most inspiring things ever. I'll always remember 7c as my favorite and the best to ever run snocross. Not to mention he ran my favorite sled ever, the 440 mxzx REV 😍😍

    I remember Dad bringing home a couple old school skidoo’s one day when I was just a kid, maybe 5 or 6. Then watching Blair around the same time, couldn’t help but race around the fields as if I were him. He was my hero, I’ll never forget watching the races with Dad and what a great time it was. It’s been a long time since then but I’m so glad to see Blair again.

    In 2003-2004 when SkiDoo came out with the 7c BM edition REV, that was the damn sled to have. They were so sought after and rare. Remember those days as it it was yesterday. Kid rode hard and made quite the name for himself in Snocross

      Around 2005, my brother bought Blair's own personal 2003 800 open mod sled. The one that he won the 2002-2003 championship on. According to Jamie Anseeuw, Blair had two 2003 mod sleds and the other one was at their Calgary shop. But this one was the main sled that Blair used for racing. The other was more of a backup sled.
      Anyway, people always thought it was just a Blair Morgan edition and one of us would have to explain that it wasn't an "edition". It was the real thing.

      I received a 2004 mxz600ho blair morgan. Unfortunately, it sat for 10 years outside, and the decals could not be saved. It's running now and looking good! What's special about these sleds?

    I remember Blair at a race in Fulton NY. After the race it was raining so hard he actually came in our trailer and hung out and ate with us. Most down to earth great guy. When I heard of the tragedy I was in shock for days. It's amazing looking at the old footage and seeing how much the sleds have changed. Well best of luck to you.

    • @Ben_Jones
      @Ben_Jones 4 года назад

      The sleds only changed because of the way that he road. The "rider forward" style, pioneered on the Rev platform, as entirely designed because Ski-Doo noticed his way of standing while riding. And then every other manufacturer had to catch up, creating their own rider forward designs.
      If it wasn't for Blair Morgan, people might still be riding long sleds, sitting down with their weight at the back of the tunnel and the weight of the motor way forwards.

    I remember some snowcross game on the PS2 and he was on there. I was so young. What a memory

  • @MrWuWatt
    @MrWuWatt 4 года назад +1

    Been a fan of Blair for 20+ years, a Canadian Hero. I think it's ironic Jean Sebastien Roy's final professional race, as well as Blair's, was the Montreal Supercross in 08'. I wish the two could have stood beside each other that day and retired. When I heard Blair broke his back I was crushed.
    Glad you made it through Blair.

    I mean, I felt the betrayal we as Minnesotan’s felt when Blair left AC killed us. When Blair was paralyzed, we all felt that. 7c means an unreal amount to me. I grew up on snowmobiles. My family was so invested, we all lost it.
