Unafuckindillaaa

I had two 84 RM 250s what a fantastic bike, would take the nastiest stuff wfo in 5th and they never broke!

All of those guys are legends 😊

Incredible rider and an absolute gentleman regarding his post race comments.

What year was that?

Hello! Are you opening to licensing a few seconds of this footage?

😂Kent howerton

Bob Hannah was my hero when I was young and rode motocross. I went through 3 YZ 125s. 77,78,and 79 models. Other interests convinced me to stop riding. Women and flying aircraft.

Is that narrator Dennis Franz?? Sure sounds like him!😳

3:50 😂 Right as the camera focuses on him, he does that. Good to see Hannah on the RM. 👍🏼

One of my favorite Bob Hannah interviews!

This track was the premier track in America before they took a bulldozer to it and ruined it. They changed the start, they changed the track and all of the changes were for the worse. Trying to make it into an outdoor sx track which it will never be. Such a shame!

ran out of gas , thats unreal

I was there! Super good race. Great experience.

I was there. What a race. Hannah passed Johnny at the bottom of screw U and emerged with both hands in the air. Johnny had the overall in the bag until he ran out of gas.

can only imagine the conversations in the pitts with the crew. forgot the fuel?

I’ve a fan of Bob Hannah since 1976. I met him in 1983 at the Millville national which was the first national I ever saw and it is the best race I’ve seen. The battle between David Bailey and Bob Hannah was incredible. Bob rode the whole track and I nearly got taken out by his handlebars along the snow fence. I met many greats that day, Chandler. O’mara, Bailey, Lechein and more. I still have there autographed posters. Great era in motocross😊!

I remember one year late in hannahs carer at the fia winter series bob crashed in the 1st turn got up in last place and won the race. Classic hannah wfo the whole race. Afterwords signed autograph and hung with fans at his pit for an hour.classic hannah

I lived in Skaneateles fr9m 1965 until 1980 1 mile down East Lake Roac near Pork Street.

Hey, if you have any Carlsbad or the Detroit Silverdome, I would really appreciate it the more the merrier❤👍🎯

To bad magoo wasn't in the race ...

Love the rough track! So much gnarlier than the groomed tracks of today. The uphill sections got rougher every year. They wouldn’t groom it, they just installed new ribbon and let ‘em rip!

The Unadilla motocross GP track full of tracks and holes.

Watching the fans mob Hannah after the second moto was a touching sight. We don't see that anymore these days. I was there that day which was also my very first time at Unadilla, but was on the far side of the track so I wasn't near the finish line straight to witness this sight. I remember thinking about this race for days after it was run. Great memories.

Thanks Bob for letting me lead 3 laps in 82 at chicken farm... Florida...they gave me first and 2nd place money...bill wests daughter had a thing , but the life's a beach twins...you messed them up...yeah bob just took their girlfriend loaded her up and left...thank God for that great day... coming out of berms and seeing you going in ...bolts on the helmet..spec freaking..tacular

Who would of thought that the section named screw u would be so offensive to people

When motorcross was fun to watch

Bonita 💕

Hey, did I see a flat turn with no berm ?? The riders today would not know how to handle a turn without a big loamy berm.

This was my very first trip to Unadilla, given the fact that I was coming from Massachusetts. I remember being on the far side of the track just under the pizza stand when the gate dropped for the first qualifier. I remember seeing Rick Ryan's day-glow green chest protector through all the morning fog as he railed around the only tree on the course after his holeshot. I was sixteen years old, and I never felt more alive as I did at that very moment. I was a HUGE motocross fan, and I was a walking encyclopedia because I knew everything there was to know about the sport. My Unadilla experience changed me for life as I never participated in that level of partying before. I showed up on Saturday morning and stayed the weekend on top of the far hill. Back then, they would do a half-assed search of your car for booze and whatever else that was forbidden. We pulled a trick where we emptied out our water bottles and put our vodka in them, and filled the vodka bottles with water. They immediately grabbed the vodka bottles and let us in. My friends stashed their weed in the air filter of the car. Mission accomplished. The rest was history and was the best weekend in my entire life. Now Unadilla is like going to church. Such a shame.

I was watching Hannah's rear suspension that was designed by Eyvind Boyesen. As complicated as it looked, it provided incredibly smooth action. Compared to O'Mara's bike Hannah's suspension seemed smoother, but Johnny was just too damned fast and in shape for Hannah to be competitive with him.

So, did Omaras mechanic forget to put fuel in his bike…?🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

super

I watched THE HURRICANE WIN THE 1977 Seattle Supercross on a Stock YZ250D. Yes riding against all the Works bikes. He was THAT GOOD! After the race they raffled off the bike. Dad and I did NOT have winning tickets. He was My and friend Kevin Cornett's (a fellow YZ 125 Expert class rider) HERO. Kevin even road in Scott boots like Bob did. I stuck to Leather.. We had our yellow hemets all Lightning Bolted up like his. Kevin was #2 like Bob. I was #14. Bob and Marty Smith before him definitely helped America take Motocross away from the Europeans. I also remember the Ski accident and he as many do not... never road the samee again. What a TIME IN MOTOCROSS HIStory!

Its a grass track

You gotta be in it - to win it....Hannah lost a few the same way, it all balanced out in the end. Hannah spanked O'Show a few times in SX when they were both on Hondas...

Number for boyesen works but doesn’t go to them. Definitely am impulse to call and find out immediately I paused and called to see lol

Bob hannah was and will always be THE MAN !!!

Watch hannah sling mud all over omara as he pulls past him 😁

Hannah will always be the king !!!

That's true motocross. Todays top moto riders could never jump on one of those bikes and conform to all the technical and physical difficulties Hannah and the rest endured.

To bring to crowds back, bring these tracks back.

If O'Mara just tipped his bike and let the gas from the right side of the tank get to the fuel petcock I think he would have had enough to finish. Unfortunately we'll never know.

26:49 Damn straight.

Although I hate them personally, I couldn't help but think about how well a four stroke would hook up on this deep, tacky loam. Seems like there's a lot of wasted wheelspin on the two strokes.

Look at that dirt! I was there that day and the racing was awesome. Long gone are those days when the competition was vicious. Every rider fought tooth and nail for every position. Nothing like these days where guys settle in their positions then just circulate. The state of racing now is just plain sad. Everyone is just trying to collect a check and say "I'll get them next year."

What crummy music the had a great show an they killed with music from starsky an hutch..wow disco mite have been peppier

Bob looks like hes on a stock 250....watching the rear fender get flipped all ovet violently

This track was so much more technical when Ward Robinson owned it look at that up hill off camber knarly whoops an turning to the right just a fight all the way look at the washboard all the way into the turn...what got destroyed today versus then was they raced on it and did no grooming they let the grass grow and let it to the snow an new york winter taking out 60 percent of the natural difficulty now its just drag racing nothing technical about it what a dog bob suzuki was u can see how slow itwas to johnny s factory honda....johnny was the best 125 rider on earth...so was bob thats what makes this race so important an memorable...they race different eras though
