[@banner4141]

Fantastic. Plenty of stadium 9’s. We were so lucky to ride in this era .. full line ups , natural tracks, bike evolution, our parents in their prime .. fantastic memories.. wish I could go back Big thanks to all the parents who made it all possible Looks like 1981 to me

Sitting watching this at 60 with a rotten cold brought back great memories of racing in the seventies thanks for posting

This was the golden era of all motocross here in the states as well . Great memories I started racing in 83 in New England. Great time with my family and friends. Sure wish I could go back. Thank you for posting this

No KZbin videos to show us how to ride or improve our technique back then , we were all self taught and just went as fast as we could when the gate dropped !! Great memories and times.

i must admit in my eyes this was the golden era of schoolboy scrambling i raced in schoolboy motocross from 72-79 in different clubs cotswold ssc,berks and hants,north berks and reading ssc and i think that most of us now are parents we appreciate a bit more how we turned our mums into nervous wrecks lol. thanks for putting this up brilliant.

Good quality video considering the age. Definitely filmed in 1981 though. The water cooled 125''s are always the give away , they didn't come out until 1981 and there are no 1982 model bikes in this video. I raced my last year of schoolboys back in 81 and was lucky enough to have a new Kawasaki KX 125 for that year which was the only Japanese 125 not water cooled for 81. Wish I'd have chosen the RM125 though , by far the best 125 that year. Thanks for posting and bringing back some great memories.

I thought the same thing, I could only dream of a Moto X bike then I’m now 53 and have 35 years riding under my belt.

[@glenpiro313]

Absolutely. I saw a few 1981 YZ80H models and a few 1981 YZ125H models right off the bat. Great stuff!

these vids are bringing back such great memories of my racing in the early 80's. I love the Stadium 9 comment below. Thats the lid I wore. Posh boys had arai !!!

Racing with BSMA Warley Wasps still wearing a yellow vest to denote it was one of my first 10 races, I lined up at Upper Rocombe? Arriving the night before, my father and I wondered where the track was only to wake and find it ran unsurprisingly perhaps up the side of the valley which was so steep we couldn't climb without being on all fours.
