Bob Hannah The Big Interview Episode 1

[@harveyclark1042]

I can listen to Hannah for hours…. such great life advice. He’s always been my hero, but listening to him talk can motivate anyone to higher success.

[@Hitttiht]

Hurricane was the reason all us Middle schoolers passed around Dirt Bike and motocross magazines. It’s great to Mr. Hannah is in good shape and sound mind. I was in grade school or kindergarten when On Any Sunday was playing at the drive-in. That was a great time to be doing it in the dirt!

I was there in 78 at unadilla. Roger and Hannah..I'll never forget it..we thought man we're here watching the two best in the world ! Dice it up...the grass was 5 ft tall and the smell of two stroke was in the air. And I agree with Bob..they sissified that track. I'm proud to be a racer my whole life and proud that that's my era...Thanks Bob .

[@johnwadsworth4916]

I was there too fantastic time I just remember all of it

[@joeprice8163]

@@johnwadsworth4916 I missed that but was there in '86 for the MX de' Nations. Ward on a 500, Johnson on the 250 and Hannah on the 125. I know it was passed his prime and he was on a 125 but God Damn watching him fly around the track. The practices were on the fresh dry grassy track, but it rained for race day. Which sucked. I'll never forget the sound of his RM 125. I don't think he ever let off the throttle, just slipped the clutch. It was the first time a team from Australia competed. The team were selling off their jerseys after each practice session to pay for their trip. I bought one from their 125 entry "Armstrong". Of course when I bought it, it was completely brown from the rain muddied track. It never came completely clean, I still have it!

[@johnburgher]

Hannah is always objective and truthful whether you like the answer or not. One of the very best MX'ers of all time!

Doug was awesome but I was hitting the rear brake after seat bouncing just by basic instinct . I’m not the only one I think everyone does it by instinct. If someone told you to do it then you haven’t ridden enough to do it anyhow.

What I read however was Po Racers talking about how showed them how in the Air the brake could keep from them looping out.

[@keithkline6334]

What a great interview, where has Bob been. What a legend !! I hope there's 12 more episodes

[@craighelgerson2698]

Being 65 years old, seeing Bob's rise, and now hearing him talk about what was really happening in the sport, I say Bob Hannah is a genius not only in the most difficult sport ever devised by man but in human nature. His deference to Roger Decoster as being the gold standard is an accurate assessment of the sport. A failed knee reconstruction in the late 70s ended my pursuit of going pro, and I am grateful this happened. He made a slight comment about how the initial track builders were making doubles and triples with ever-varying distances and steep landings where you had to tread the needle and often flat landing, taking forces into our bodies that were beyond brutal. It is my opinion that those years of the 80s and 90s were the most brutal and dangerous times for our sport. This was the peak of difficulty and danger within our sport.

[@volksdeutschewaffenss9670]

Hanna was still is one of my heroes, just behind roger, a great fast rider and says it as it is , NO BS

[@1969cmp]

Interesting comment about the 450cc in supercross.

[@turboslag]

As a Brit this is the first time I've heard Hannah speak, but he lives upto his rep as a motor mouth, in the nicest possible way!!! Very entertaining though!! I started MX on a Honda CR250 in 1979, here in the UK, and had been reading Dirt Bike and MX action for a few years before the, so the Hannah, Smith, Tripes, Lackey, DeCoster, Mikola, etc was my era. Still have some of my old riding gear, that and lots of pictures and one video, taken by a friend at the time on portable pro video gear and transferred to VHS. Great memories of a great time. I'm so tempted to get an MX bike and ride some local practice tracks, just for the hell of it!! It'd probably half kill me but I just want to feel the buzz again!! Great interview, Hannah is just the way I expected him to be, having read the mags of the time, at the time!

[@vincedenney426]

Really great interview. I love this channel and I'm glad to see something like this is available. I agree with Bob on the 350, but I especially agree about how they are taming the tracks and making them freeways. It's ridiculous. Riding rough tracks is what used to separate the really good from the really great. The thing with having every track with the same distance between jumps is super lame as well. They should have a maximum distance for triples, but also add some different types of jumps at every round. The 80s Supercross tracks were nasssssty difficult and never the same ol' stuff. It's gotten to be really boring seeing the same obstacles with different lay outs. Spice it up, people.

[@HurricaneRobbie]

I met Bob hannah at Yorktown Theater in Lombard, IL in early 1980. He was standing in line right behind me. What are the odds that your hero is right next to you on a Friday night in your hometown? We chatted the entire time we were in line about why he was in town and about my 1979 YZ125. He was very friendly and sincere - he was the same guy then as he is in this video. We could only hope that the MX/SX world would listen to Bob Hannah as they have Roger DeCoster over the years taking the sport to the next level.

[@WeaponsEducation]

I raced with Hannah in the late 1980's. He was so fast in that FL winter Nationals deep sugar sand whoops, he was a freak of nature. His big difference was that he had to get a top 3 to win big money. Today , they coast and get a 19th place and earn a million plus a year easy.

[@martymorse2]

My advice to many young, aspiring elite athletes is to pick your heroes carefully. After 46 years coaching in athletics I have seen too many young athletes destroyed following them being repulsed by their heroes once they got to meet them. Most important point from this interview is that "athletes are not machines" who can be bent to the will of the machine they are riding. Athletes are human and what separates the great coaches are those capable of understanding all the physical/psycho/social issues of each individual they work with. Those coaches who understand all of this are those who's athletes are routinely on the podium.

Speaking facts about Dilla!!! Back in the day when they laid out the course with ribbon the stakes were only 5/6 inches off the ground not 3 feet high like today! It wasn’t groomed like today’s tracks either. They laid out the ribbon and the racers beat the track in or wore the track in! Especially Unadilla ! I know because I was there!! I’m not saying the riders today aren’t great because they are great but back in the day it really was just man and machine!!! Go check out a Six day reunion and see how they lay out the grass course! The last one I attended the ribbon was basically laying on the grass so coming over a hill you couldn’t see which way the course went!!

Totally agree. The tracks today have become so unremarkable. I don't miss the dust, but I miss everything else about the great old tracks.

Period. Say his name with reverence and respect. When you think of him, look up and smile, because he did more for you than anyone else. Without Marty Smith there would be no Bob Hannah.

He was one of the first Americans to take training seriously - he ran on the beach wearing combat boots! He is the epitome of "it ain't bragging if you can back it up"...

[@waynegarfield6607]

He is right about the great riders of yesteryear being as fast as the new generations and the bikes are so much better it makes the new riders appear better as well. For proof look at David Baikys riding technique on his 83/84 CR 500 and his smooth graceful style. Then look at Jett Lawarences .....other than the scrub and foot postion very very simuliar. Poetey in motion. Hannah was a bull in a china shop , but it worked back then . On a modern 450 .....not so much ....ask Barcia .

[@motonorcal9938]

At 7:10, consider that Hannah is discussing a carboard cut-out of Roger DeCoster that motivated him. That shows how deep motocross goes. He's not talking about technique or technology-- it's about passion to be a champion.

[@SymonSaysTV]

I think it says 2019, not sure, but how can you not write the year? It’s mandatory.

[@jamesboardman7048]

He is correct about 450 being to much for supercross, the ama backed themselves into a corner, letting 400 fourstroke in 250 supercross class, so now its all fourstroke, which i believe the purchase cost and mantainece costs are hurting the sport at grass root level.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Actually, it was the government force of a dictatorship called the EPA that forced the 4-stroke engines on the industry, and kill the "dirty 2-stroke", (The 2-stroke is still alive because it is actually hard for communism to kill free enterprise in a mixed economy, as free enterprise is our lives.). The FIM is the boss of the AMA (learned that during the 2001 SX promoter scandal, between Clear Channel, Jam Sports, and the AMA, that opened the door for the FIM to get more involved in USA racing). The only thing 'better" about the 4-stroke is the fact that they hook up to the ground better, so they can use more power, (Try to ride a 70hp CR500 and stay in control. A 70hp 450 4-stroke makes it easier.). So the FIM, kissing the butt of the EPA as the factories had to, (again, force is used), eventually filled up the starting gates with 4-stroke (took 8 years since Doug Henry, 1997, to do so actually). Now---that the bikes are faster, pull a gear much longer,---the tracks got faster. Here comes the multiple injuries, and even deaths on the tracks, (which was very rare when the sport was 10 times bigger than today.). Guess who we can't sue for all this cost and dysfunction that is killing the sport for the masses? The dictatorship called the EPA. This is a prime example of a government taking over or directing (by force every time), our free enterprise. This is how communism works in the USA today.

[@bikersoncall]

I don't know much about Super Cross, and just slightly more about Motocross, but I agree that the promotors and track designers seem to want to get to the point where someone dies each season. Bob focused on the use of 450's being the cause of the injuries, which makes sense but I think the track designs and similarly with Hard Enduro designs of today , instead of just letting the best riders win, they keep making things more dangerous. Maybe the carnage is a big part of what sells tickets.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

The FIM SX tracks are designed to keep everybody the same speed as much as possible. That is why we see the top 8 guys on the same second for their fast lap, why the top "futures" kids could quality for a main, and why the most talented, (Roczen, Eli and Chase for examples), start having mental breakdowns. You can win any race you enter, but you are . 5 seconds off the pace, and running 6th. Do that a couple time as a super talent, and it break down your confidence. Tracks that everybody has wired,---comes from the philosophies of socialism/communism. The FIM. just about everything we do comes from some kind of philosophy.
