I never got to meet him in person but when I was 11 years old and I saw him race in 1973 when he won the world championship race in Spain my life changed completely. He has always been my hero and I like to help keep his memory alive.

Thanks for the feedback. Find a good traumatologist who will fix it and leave you as good as new and I will be waiting for you. But have mercy on me...😂

Thank you very much for your comment. You are very kind and have made my day and week!!! I am a big fan of Jeff. I sometimes saw him at Glen Helen at the World Vet championships. He continues to race flawlessly. I hope to see you and say hello one day if you race the World Vet this year 2024. You will see that we will have a great time. Next time I will try to stay awake at the gate drop and try to race after you and that way you will be in the next video all the time 😃 . Greetings from Barcelona

You should try it. I'm sure you won't regret it. It will be the best decision of your "second" life. You will enjoy every bit of it. The goal is not to go fast and take risks, it is to have the best time of the year.

@ I see you are from Spain. Are there vet classes for +50, +60 in Spain?

@@BrianMcNeill25 No, just +50 in regular mx bikes, but in vintage bike’s races there a few 60’s and 70’s y.o. crazy riders

@ most of our local races on the east coast of the US just have 50+ also. That class can be tough since folks like Mike Brown still race and are pro level fast. Some have a 60+ typically larger series.

Cheer up!! I am now almost 62. In 2012 I broke my pelvis when I was 50 and I was in bed for a month and a half without being able to get up. In 2014 I fractured my right femur when I was 52 and they also put half a hardware store on me (which they removed after a year). Naturally I was wearing shorts underneath with Alpinestar plastic protections but the blow was too big. Now I'm going slower but I enjoy it more. Surely in a short time you will be back in the saddle. It's worth it!!!

Did shin tib and 7 screws and plate as a teenager, I broke feet, ribs, ripped up shoulders, hands, and about 5 bad concussions are the extent of my worst, along with all the others dozens of cuts, sprains, and bone bruising. Back is on its way out degenerative disks, So it's hard not to wonder why. The world doesn't care to wait for us every time we go down. Seems like I have always been weak and break on the littlest things. Think I should get a bone density test. Wonder why you waited a year to remove hardware when they seem to want to leave it in. Something I'm not voluntarily looking to deal with, but they got the top my femur looking like swiss cheese, can't imagine it should stay like that, and sure as shit scared to death to go back under. Don't think he would ever sign off on me doing any moto or bmx again, still got to get an ok to go back to my body breaking job working on heavy trucks. A month and a half sounds brutal, God bless you.

I totally agree with you. The problem is that I'm no longer in shape and if I'm a little unbalanced on the bike I can't even change gears. And there are too many things to do at the same moment: rear brake, front brake, clutch, a little gas so it doesn't stall, look at the turn, look to see if anyone is coming from behind, look to see if there is someone fallen behind the turn, see if it's the last lap because I can't breathe anymore... but above all remember what my wife said: if you get hurt I'll finish you off. All this mixed together is what you see in the video.

I started racing in 1977 when I was 15 years old in Spain ("Juveniles" Class) with a Montesa Cappra 125 VB. I raced until 1982 ("junior Class) and stoped because I had to go to Medical school to become a medical doctor first and a plastic surgeon later. I returned to racing in 2009 (at 47 years of age) in the 40+ veterans Mx classes, and also classic vintage motocross races in Catalonia (regional) and the rest of Spain, and in 2010 and 2011 I also raced the FIM Veteran World Cup (Lommel, Valkenswaard, Mantova, Mallory Park, Glen Helen, ...) Until about 2 years ago, that I no longer race in Spain (just riding at the motocross track every now and then) and I only race each year in the World Vet Championship in Glen Helen.

@ ha cool I started racing a little back in 77 also but ride single track trails out here in New mexico

We do race by separate classes: Expert, Intermediate and Novice. In that race the first row at the start are the Expert class (Doug Dubach #15, ...), second row are Intemediate class. Here you can see all the results of all different classes: resultsmx.com/glenhelen/index.asp?sp=&s=&e=195 of this year's 2023 races

Race 1: 3th - Race 2: 10th - Race 3: 5th - Overall: 6th --> resultsmx.com/glenhelen/class.asp?c=335&e=195&s=

60 + Intermediate - I am 61 year old

Gracies!!

No, thanks for the nice compliment. Nothing has been modified either in the recording or in the editing. It is very easy to check: here are the lap times of race 1 of the 60+ class: resultsmx.com/glenhelen/laptimes.asp?s=&c=335&e=195&rn=1&rt=M If you time the video for the second lap (from when I cross the finish line until I cross the finish line again) you will see that the time is the same: 3:46

Los mismos que ahora se están cargando a medio planeta con la Plandemia 2020 2030 1984 y que nos van a encerrar en las ciudades de los 15´ (a los que queden).
