I can't believe you got kicked out for sparklers. Must have been some stupid rent-a-cops. One of the last years I went there, sunny and hot, over 90 degrees, and they had a new rule no tents and stuff on the hill that could block other fans view. I bought a FMF umbrella from the FMF trailer, and used it to block the sun off of me. Two rent-a-cops told me I could not use it, so I went back to the trailer and asked for my money back. The FMF folks got a hold of one of the track management, had the rule changed right them and there, so I kept the umbrella, (still have it), and used it all day. Later, in the heat of the day, I was walking down the main hill in the infield, and there I saw him, a old man over 80 years old, sitting in his lawn chair enjoying the race on the side of the hill, bothering nobody, and he has a FMF umbrella blocking the sun for him. It made me feel great that FMF and I made a difference for that old gentleman.

It was Mike & Tim Ritchie blasting off of that thing. They had been working on it all day and it was winding down towards evening by then. From the armature pits / parking lot during the 4th of July every year, it looked like he was 200 feet high!! LoL. Mike was on a 250 & Tim was bolting off it on a Banshee 4 wheeler!!

Great story. Michigan guy here to, and I had a crush on Angie Ritchie. :) The other great jump they put in that is no longer there, the "double double". it was tricky for those guys for a few years. I remember Bradshaw landing right on the face of it, bouncing over the lip, and rip away. I think he was just testing it to see how it felt. I was standing maybe 20 feet off the track from that landing jump. I never felt a 125 shake the ground before. If they didn't do that first double perfectly, they would not even try the second one. We don't have obstacles that separate the talent like that anymore. The 4-strokes are too fast now, and bigger jumps are not the answer.

Sounds like you jumped it. I have seen it though, pinned to the lip, last 10 feet crucial. Today, everybody has the tracks wired are within a couple seconds, (lap times) to like 15th place sometimes. The 4-stroke engine may hook up to the ground better, but everything else about it was bad for the sport IMO. It was not a free market idea. It was forced on the industry by environmental groups with power they should not have. There were 2 major interventions in the MX free market that hurt the sport to what it is today: the 1986 production rule, (for the USA only, bet your but the FIM was behind that), that tripled the cost of a bike in 5 years,-- and the 4-stroke forced on the industry, (bikes doubled in price again). Ironic though? Yamaha was the spearhead for both of those movements,---and they are left making the 2-stroke. Doug in Michigan

I was friends with his dad at the time and talking with him mear the jump. While we were talking, before Kelly cases it, his dad said, "He missed a gear.". I was pretty impressed that he was so in tune with Kelly's racing, he knew he missed a shift while I was talking with him. I sure didn't hear it.

I now port 2-stroke engines for a living, and when Kawasaki came out with the semi truck first for the team, Mike was on a 250 2-stroke, and his dad was still his mechanic. A factory Kawi guy said we could come back in an hour, (during signature time then), and he would show me and my buddy the inside of the semi trailer. We came back, and he took us in,---went up front and left us alone in the trailer. There it was, a ported 250cc cylinder sitting on the bench. I picked it up and took a look inside. I was shocked that there was very little work done to it, possibly just some blueprinting to get it to factory spec, and maybe a touch more, but that was it. Then Mikes dad came into the trailer from the front, saw me with the cylinder in my hands,---and kicked our butts out. :)

La Rocco a true iron-man rider so if he helped build it he was gonna jump it. Not many other jumps in the world are as intimidating as this jump is. If the face of this jump wasn't bad enough, you have to come off a corner and you can't see your landing until about halfway into the jump. I have always though it was cool that it is called a "Leap" instead of La Rocco's Jump, it is just classier, more intelligent, like a leap in time or an idea leaped into you mind, just me though.

No, I think the FIM has the influence of how the land owners build the tracks now. I would even bet if the track did not want to make his track the same as the rest all across the country, (that has to mean force, we would never do that otherwise), they would lose their race date. I wonder if that is what happened to Muddy Creek? Further evidence of hurting our talent is the redundancy of the SX tracks, nothing but rhythm sections (designed to keep everybody the same speed), and whoops. The FIM has done more damage to this sport in the world, and the USA, than any other entity of the industry. They are dysfunctional socialists, or worse. 5 point red star in the word "Motocross" on the podium banner. That is not pro American man.

On "The Whiskey Throttle Show" with the LaRocco interview a while back, I think he said he built the huge jump at his home track first, then they built one at Red Bud.

Supprised Bradshaw didn't get upset and start punching him because he couldn't do it.

Have you ever watched/listened to a great MX show called "The Whiskey Throttle Show"? They are like 3 hour interviews/conversations with many of the great stars of the past. Bradshaw was the last one. It was a great interview, and I think you will see him in a better light for sure. They get so much more out of these guys than the ,magazines ever did.

Its 2023, you just unloaded your brand new, fuel injected CRF450R. You have your fresh gear on, looking good, running VP 110 octane race fuel smelling like bubble gum. You’re railing corners, gettin’ sideways. All the sudden, some old guy blows past you on the outside G out, riding a clapped out 1992 cr125, looking goofy as hell. He launches to outer space on laroccos leap, WFO. You case the double. Come Monday, you brag to your coworkers how fast you are. The end.
