McGRATH V EMIG. Should have been McGRATHs year again, but injury & EMIG continually biting at his heels made for an exiting & action packed 1996 season to the end. Watch the Full events of the '96 Series.

That Redbud track had an amazing layout back then. Should have never changed it. It's so wide open now it sucks. Thanks for posting!

The best decade for MX. I miss watching and listening to 2 strokes rip the track. Oh yeah and the smell. Thanks for posting

Still lots of 2 smokers in woods racing. Look into so hare scrambles or some gp format racing near you. But yes best decade in mx.

This is such a phenomenal era of motocross! I remember going with my Dad every year down to Red Bud to cheer on our favorite rider, Mike LaRocco. Great memories!

Thanks for sharing these old MX videos! I was at the 1996 Glen Helen National. I remember it being over 100 degrees and super dusty.

I was at the Hangtown race. As you can see, those were still the days when you drove up to the booth and paid for everybody in the vehicle and then parked around the track. I hid under a pile of gear bags in the back of my buddy's van and got in for free lol. It was sooo f^*king hot that day. Still have some cool snaps I took of Mc in action here :)

Not sure of the year but was at the Budds Creek national and saw Emig leading. He had his bike YZ ?125? screaming!!! He was shifting - not letting off the gas. His competition only a few yards behind him.

Emig was one of the best commentators. And he does it without saying "like, like, like" every other word and "and uh, and uh, and uh" like Ricky does.

I loved the sand eventually and got pretty good in it too. But later, I went to a private track in Michigan (Last name Baird), that was a old, never groomed tack that must have had 10 years from 10 guys doing laps. Whoops as high as your bars, in all the wrong places. :) I could have gotten good on that pretty old, partially grown in track, (Nobody rode it for about 5 years it looked), if I would have gone back a dozen times. No USA pro would ride it today, I know that. I think I got good in sand because I was not scared at all to fall in it, so I hung it out more, and the speed started coming.

I wonder if Greg A or Jeff E watched anytime there was a drag race with Jeremy with jeremy slightly behind. The Honda would out pull the other bikes. I truly think the others had the skill level but those Hondas would always give at least 4-5 more seconds per lap and that adds up it also adds up in wins and dollars
@zackk6952 ай бұрын
If I road at that level then I would only want to ride the Hondas. I mean it’s pretty clear they are the best and not just the bike but the team,training,mechanics,etc. If you look at the past 15 years only Honda had won so that’s not just luck

No one crashed more than Albertyn in the mid to lates 90's. Not even RC in '99. Typical Glen Helen back in the 90's too: mostly hardpack and very dusty. MC was just killing everyone that year until he got hurt, but Emig was riding really well the second half of the season. I was not a fan of Emig and his crossing the track or chopping people off on jumps to block them. Thats how you seriously hurt other riders
