I was there! Hurricane Hannah lapped the entire field in the first moto. The ENTIRE field.

Very neat video. Raced there once. We arrived there the night before and I remember the shock of seeing ships above me on the river.

The revolution that changed everything about Motocross was Yamaha's innovation in their suspension. This was more important than going water cooled a few years later.

Raced that track many times! Saw all the greats there.

2:43 #41, I fairly sure that an '82 RC250

I was there ,watching also caught Rio Bravo national that year it was fricking awesome saw all my old heroes

Back in the late 70's, the Honda works bikes were amazing!

The seventies at rio bravo best time ever

Rio is still in operation today check it out and cool off in the pool afterwards

I was fortunate enough to be there it was unforgettable

I was there in 78 and 79 Great memories We raced there often in the 80’s and 90’s

And just like that, I was 19 years old again. Great pictures. Thanks for taking me back to see all my favorites!

The best dirt my knobbies ever touched. Deep soft loam where you could drift a side slide for what seemed like forever. Banging a berm was like hitting a cloud. 30' high levees made for great aerobatic jumps if you wanted to show off. Raced there in 74/75 in 125/250 expert class.

All started with motorcycles... True legends

Thank you I was just sharing that with my 6-year-old son that is just beautiful

I started riding motocross at the age of 3 in Germany. Never got hurt. Moved to Houston when I was 27 and rode Rio Bravo, after 2 month popped my finger when it was wet and I did a 180 turn on a straight, just a month later crash again in the sharp left turn in the very back left and fractured my shoulder and rips. Few month later crashed on the night track and broke my femur. I'm 30 now so just been living here for 3 years so far. I don't ride Rio Bravo anymore and really prefer 3 palms because I also prefer softer dirt well I'd even prefer sand because thats what I'm used to. But this video right here really made me like Rio Bravo a little more again and I definitely have respect and love these oldschool times. Awesome pictures. I wish it was videos.

Great pictures! Really enjoyed checking them out.

i raced that race in 125support. Hannah was taken down in the first turn i think 1st moto. got up dead last and his clutch lever was broke off. came from dead last to first in 45 min moto to win in extreme august heat. then goes back out to win 2nd moto. we r talking 40rider gate. jetts good but bob was damn good

The best of times

Nice track. Carlsbad was like a freeway that got bombed.

The music just screams Motocross, well, at least in an elevator. This video, if you can stand the audio (I had to turn the sound off), is insanely Suzuki and Honda centric.

Пластиковая сетка была в 70тые годы?

No se ha colado ni una Bultaco, Montesa u Ossa

I remember riding that track. The first time it scared the crap out of me. It was a fast track. If you were going too fast out of the River bed you would blow the next turn. The jump would give you wings if you hit it too fast. What great memories I have of those years riding a Bultaco.

Raced this track and others in the Atlanta area from '77 to '80 in the Georgia Spring Series. Got a little misty eyed. Great pictures!

I wish they would have started about 1967 even though the American works hadn't started yet. Some of the bikes the local shops and what the garage builders were putting out were super cool for the day.

Great times..

I can hear todays riders . Oh no look at the size of those rocks

Wow Keeping The Golden Era ALIVE🙏

Not one pic of BOO. Tenable. What about Hannah Tripes and Ward to name a few. TERRABLE

Such good memories, thanks. I was there somewhere and took pictures myself. I had a great pic of Howerton going around the right handed turn after turn 1, the one with the giant Texas sized whoops. I think it was the best pic I’ve even taken. - Steve

This was the greatest era in Motocross, great pictures of all the ironmen of the sport

Heck😂I still use AmsOil in my crankcase & premix! Lol even Bel-Ray MC1 too👈😎I loved those days & still kick dirt up most weekends on my old MX bikes🤷🏻‍♂️I can’t help it👌

Well done.

I loved going to this race with my dad. It was a great track and we saw some great racing here.

These Vids are Makin Me Very Happy Dav-o

Thank You David🦾💥🏁

Real Moto back then ! look at Today…Cheezy Cheese Ball Corporate Puke

Great photos, thanks for sharing them! Reminds me of the 1977 Midland Michigan Polka Dots 125 / 250 National I went to.

Great track 🇺🇸

Love reminiscing 🇺🇸

Spectated and raced there, special place and time 🇺🇸

Great Production !!! Save forever.

The Pat Jacobson bike is a sad story. In his very 1st race, 1st moto going into the 1st corner he crashed and was paralyzed. Happened at Houston SX. He would of been a good one!

We had some really fast riders who rode Rio Bravo on a regular basis, Keith Duffy, Shawn Kelly, and Greg Howard just to name a few. Duffy would have went pro but a serious ankle injury ended his career.

I remember this race, I raced Friday night at the Rio Bravo night track and broke a bone in my left hand, but we packed up and drove to Whitney and made the weight in, in town on Saturday and then went to the track. I was in a lot of pain but I had several friends racing and wanted to watch. Got home late Sunday night and had a cast put on my hand on Monday morning.

I didnt know that track was that big , its in Waco Texas . I wonder if its still there

THis place is in Waco Texas,me and my brother drove by there in 1981 , I was 11 years old . We didnt go in it had a fence around it , i had a Suzuki RM80 . Idont know why we didnt go in and ride the track , we drove all that way for nothing

L'âge d'or du motocross et pilote exceptionnel et motos d'usines 👍👍👍👍👍❗

"islo" might not be a good name for a race bike.
