Mike LaRocco on the SML Show

[@gmeyer6657]

One of my favorite racers of all time!

[@andrewreebel7967]

Mike LoRocco is a legend! I will always have major respect for him! There are only a few riders who have careers like you. Always fast and always a great guy

[@mecalpsha4473]

2 strokes made motocross fun, 4 strokes turned it to a Nascar event (and it shows with low attendance and Enduro is where it is at now 2 strokes rule).

[@HisPeopleRestored]

Rocket is a legend🤙🏻 one of my all time favorites

[@OtterLife]

Don says, "So what would old and wise mike do? practice more starts?" thats funny lol

[@bryanlettow4389]

I still remember the Larocco hand shaped Journeys stickers. Thanks for having him on.

[@athomerecordschannel]

Fun Fact: At the end of 1997 I offered Mike LaRocco $50,000 plus expenses to have my "Record Label" become the co/sponsor of the Jack in the Box/Factory Connection Team.Just yesterday, I found his final letter stashed away in a box, stating that he had landed the final piece of Sponsorship budget and would have to decline, but if we would of started negotiations earlier we could of got the deal done. It has his signature at the bottom and I would like to at some point have him re-date and resign it. It needs to be framed.

[@mx-co2388]

That's awesome, are you still into the sport ?

[@richardamatuzio2792]

athomerecordschannel actually, that was because of me. Sorry

[@athomerecordschannel]

@@mx-co2388 , Yes I am. I will forever be a fan of this sport. Started riding when I was 7 years old. Have raced my entire life. Chased trying to become a Pro up until age 23 and then thought "hey go make a living". I ride all of the local tracks still... Prairie City, Hollister, Marysville, etc. I will ride these bike until they put me in a box.

[@brault797]

Larocco is the man! Hes very well spoken in this interview too.

[@onlygazza]

True battler with that riding full on attack position, loved watching him doing outside motocross and a great ambassador for the sport 👏

[@brianmorse8811]

I remember back in the late 80's getting to ride a racing friends 500 for the first time! whiskey throttle it straight through his back yard dirt track and over his fathers stockade fence. I was forgiven but not ever allowed to ride the back yard track again.

[@kevinbartlett8515]

Still got the replica moto-6 stashed away! Mike’s an ICON!!!!!

[@dustyrock1]

Donn: Great interview. Funny you put the two Mikes next to each other in the photo shoot. If MMA was around back then I bet ML would be a contender.

[@lifeafterjess8872]

Mike is awesome! Could come back from a bad start and be a threat to win any weekend. The original hard worker. So fast! Nothing but respect for his entire career

[@claystephenson9742]

Looking back on it my respect for mike loRocco has grown. The length of his career, if he had better starts where better he could be as winning as McGrath, but he has my respect more now cuz like him I don’t look friendly out and about. He really kept his pace longer than anyone

[@aaronanderson7619]

What a monster. Love ya mike, happy to see you well. Laroccos leap......

[@thewhiteeazye2728]

Anyone Else remember the Mike laroccos Vegas finale boots. I wanted those boots so bad when I was a kid

[@tedpaszko8274]

Great run Mike Seen you at millville several times Really inspired me

[@derrickzenner9300]

Yep saw him win his first 125 national there

[@TheUfm123]

back in somewhere about 87 and 1990 i would watch him late night on tv race not sure what channel i know it was late at night about 12 1 am i would stay up becouse they show the races about saturday night .really inspired me i would run track the way he would race .crsazy i thougth never see him again.i did rember his name i was 7 years old

[@tylerboring8712]

Next time ask him about 2002 when he came together with Pastrana and broke his arm. The Rock came marching up to Travis after he crashed out like he was gonna kill him. I know Travis is tuff but he must have crapped his pants a little. 😂

[@jamespatterson2002]

larocco was very fast in 2002. it ruined his momentum

[@250txc]

Great guy and great interview!

[@rcafmaintainer3723]

I run into Mike at the last Toronto SX. We were both waiting to pay for our parking lol. We chatted a bit, talked about Mookie.

[@jakeshuster6783]

Always wondered how it was having your dad be your mechanic.

[@garylayton5719]

Terrible in LaRoccos case. His bike broke down so many times. 😂

[@johnbecker5213]

not only was he was one of the best ever he could whip all of the other guys asses , literally beat the crap out of them

[@JR-qz3zt]

1:56 in and I just have to say. This guy was my favorite back in the 90's. He was a beast. He still looks like a beast. I just liked how he was never a pretty boy. Just down to earth guy.

[@paulopu7481]

I had the opportunity to see you in the motocross of the nations in 1999 Brazil.

[@jdc8352]

This human is one of the baddest dudes to throw a leg over a dirt scooter 👊💪👍🚴 #braaaaaap from the #208

[@rickhattersley2801]

This host is like Chris Farley in those SNL interviews he'd do: "You turned pro in 1992...." Cool show, tho. New subscriber.

[@derrickzenner9300]

And next week Mike kiedrowski. Lol

[@coolmusic1579]

16:47 O'Neal shot.

[@kyleloring3020]

He's so jacked . Such a badass. 🤙

[@TheRealCozy]

Still top 3 classic chainsaw riders. Also if anybody has a 1997 rm125 clutch side main casing I will buy it. Just respond to this! Broke my lip that holds bearings behind water propeller. Hard to find piece in my parts of Ohio.

[@JR-qz3zt]

34:3 have to comment again. Why was he my favorite? It's because he is real. He always was. You just had to read between the lines.

[@jaybrek7589]

He's the Cowboy Cerrone of motocross.

[@netrioter]

Watching him clear the LaRocco Leap at Redbud on a 125 2 stroke.. fuuuuuuccck

[@themarvelouscaptain35]

[@dankochanek8056]
