Moto Cross 26 Août 1979 Championnat de France 500 cm3

Aibes 26 Août 1979, le village accueille le Championnat de France 500 cm3 Inter de Moto-Cross.
Quelle fierté pour ce petit village de l'Avesnois de voir s'imposer l'enfant du Pays, Jean-Jacques Bruno...

[@professorshermanklump7553]

Like Brad Lackey said 'when men were men and bikes were JUNK"... But I would give anything to go back to those days.... motocross was my drug...And boy was I hooked....PSK

[@NadineCalvez]

La bonne époque du vrai motocross

[@bugdy7321]

la qualité de l'image est vraiment belle. j'avais 1 an a cette époque.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

When the noise stopped, I liked the vid better. :)

[@Lebel1916]

J'ai publié cette vidéo juste après capture numérique pour la montrer à Jean-Jacques. Ce film est à l'origine en 16 mm sans sonorisation. Je vais le sonoriser dès que possible.

[@axoram]

Magnifique!!!! salue da Italie , w la France!

[@dieseldave71]

What a great video! I was glad when the batteries ran out on the toy synthesizer at the beginning though lol

[@mr.matteroffact2822]

These guys paved the way which led to the bikes these spoiled brats ride today. Don't forget where our sport came from and show some respect.

[@chadanderson2486]

Yes, now all I hear is easier to ride, easier to start!!!! More like easier to break! Buck up pussies!!

[@totenkopfkevinus2906]

La qualité des images est impressionnante !

[@1969cmp]

Fantastic quality and colour.

[@davidm4160]

This is awsome film footage.

[@jjstewart2120]

Honest and friendly look back.at top international riders

[@solidcorsica]

[@JoseANTONIO-zc5ig]

Qué tiempos eso eran máquinas de combate no como ahora que las motos van casi solas

[@patogaz8716]

je suis un fan de j j bruno et j'ai ma 5eme ktm

[@bourdon845]

Intéressant

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I wonder what it is like, being one of those kids playing around at min 11:10, and seeing you there 40 years later on you-tube?

[@papaal7014]

My dirt bike is 1985 so modern.

[@philouchauveau-collet8045]

Que de souvenirs....! Jean Claude Bacou......l'homme en rouge...!

[@TheKTMaddict]

euhhh SERGE Bacou...

[@philouchauveau-collet8045]

Patrick Durand Oui Serge Bacou..., le brun avec le blouson Sonauto-Yamaha rouge qui se gratte un œil...puis qui est interviewé... Il a entretenu mes bécanes pendant des années....

[@jjvv7578]

C'est lui qui s'était perdu pendant un Dakar ?

[@dabozz2873]

best bikes made in that year..

[@kevinstearns4198]

87 were

[@jean-michelcaze9504]

Ce n'est assurément pas 1978 mais 1979 au vu des modèles de motos, notamment les Suzuki RM.

[@flyinbryan1619]

its odd that it says its from 1978 because some of the bikes are definitely 1979 models

[@Wide000]

+flyinbryan1619 In the beginning of the video it says that it was held 26 august 1979

[@Buelligan88]

I noticed that too. Specifically the ugly fenders that came on the RM Suzukis in 1979. You just can't forget that kind of ugly.

[@Wide000]

1979 was still a good year compared to the fenders of the 1984, They outdone themselves this year. Just google it. You'll be immediately convinced.

[@Buelligan88]

The 84 RM feders look better than the 79 fenders, but I agree they were ugly. The 79s were so ugly the factory never used them on their works bikes that year, an indignity the 84 fenders did not suffer. 1979 was also the year most (if not all) motocross bikes came with FIM mandated side numberplates. This was the biggest tip-off it was post 1978.Hard to believe this was so long ago.

[@andrewmattson9622]

NO 4 STROKES HERE BOYS

[@lapierrejean1265]

Yes Denis Vimond CCM

[@lmtada]

Maybe a Yamaha TT500 motor, frame combo.

[@TheKilleur59]

Je me souvient mon pere avait fait la pancarte en france on a pas de pétrole mais on a super bruno

[@giorgiobassi5727]

Musics. E. Immagini.? Favolosi

[@ulrichgenisson]

genial

[@russellhueners8499]

Yeh ok ...its not the U.S.G.P., but you young guys should check out the outdoor track and short suspension, nothing better than outdoor MX,,,,,before the days of Entertainment Sports.

[@richardkey4289]

Nice choppy , bumpy grass track, looks like old Unadilla

[@josebelismelis2450]

I can see some 79 suzuki rm /n

[@markcherriman6136]

Ditch the bloody music . Spoilt the video . Thumbs down because of it .

[@srpracingdevelopments3728]

Ruined by techno noise

[@lowtech5530]

A 125 bike today would probably scare these guys.

[@bobbydale1938]

Music Horible!

[@stephenflowers8516]

This was back when you said " I've got Preston Petty's on my bike." Sadly kids today have no idea what that means.

[@jimmyjamm9938]

Preston Petty's and just a little later on a Green Weenie.

[@timharris2830]

The film quality is great. The color and sharpness is the best I’ve seen of a motocross race of this period.

[@chrisrestoux4806]

Chercher pas du liquide lol. Perso ma première moto été une 80yz de 1979 petite roue. merci maman.♥♥♥♥ Et perso j,ai déjà fait un enduro avec une 490 yz avec laquelle je me me suis fait des des grosses frayeurs !!!! outchh ! ! Je vous conseil un bon livre de Jean Bougie et Michel Moncler[ éditions Charles Corlet:::::

[@chopperhehehe]

Wicked video thanks for sharing missed the sound and smell of the old 2 stroke oil 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁✌️

[@charlesharper6421]

What year was your big bore YZ..

[@MichaelTaylor-ln9ll]

What was that little kid doing in there on a Honda Z-50....maybe it was Jeff Ward when he was first starting out....I dunno.

[@jimsmith7421]

???? music is the bollocks!! Who is it by??

[@laffalil]

Holy shit! Whatever camera filmed this is amazing! It looks like it was filmed within the last 5 to 10 years! Would almost think I was watching a recent vintage race until I saw all the older cars in the background

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Makes you wonder if digital is really better then analog, or if talent is just lacking today.

[@chrisrestoux4806]

Plus de son sur la vidéo 6 m '(45...

[@charlesharper6421]

I enjoyed this vid. The clarity was refreshing . Not often found on KZbin. Especially anything from the 70’s. Most of the x i have my device muted. Wife doesn’t like the noise. Especially the 125 class ..,

[@benrodeheaver701]

Watched for the first few minutes or so. Or should I say slow. These guys rode like local B class riders.

[@toddjacobs5660]

Its funny how much dirt bikes have improved since the 80's power & suspension....

[@willieboy8798]

sound affects drove me off! yeh I know turn off sound...just go to another presentation too!

[@jean-michelcaze9504]

1978 ? Je ne crois pas, car les 125 RM sont des modèles 1979.

[@chamisi]

exactly what I see 79 Maico, Suzuki

[@MrLeradin]

très belle vidéo de belle qualité 1978 .... j'avais 1 an ....

[@davem145mxr]

Couldn’t deal with the annoying music

[@meganjay30]

lol look at motoX now and they spend alot more time off the ground that's for sure!!

[@charlesharper6421]

Thats so true. Its a cruddy shame. I prefer the early 70’s when the shocks got moved up and everybody had offset axles. Then at the end of the decade the “fim” rear mounted side # plates..best look for me . Especially the works bikes…

[@chrisrestoux4806]

Et encore merci maman pou les motos motos que tu m'as payé. yz 80/81 encore a air, 1982, la première yz a refroidissement liquide sur la fourche avant.

[@ABC_62]

Qui es el pilot de la Cappra n° 7? Es una Montesa oficial del '79 !!! JC Nowak es el dorsal 20. Gràcies

[@gypsymanjeff2184]

Guy at end think it's Bruno..anyone else we RICKY CARMICHAEL..CUS I SWARE LOOKS LIKE HIM 100% OR HIS DADDY

[@karkasselebordelais4266]

Je venais d'avoir 18 ans cette année la. Superbe vidéo de qualité ( gros travail de digitalisation euh pardon de numérisation...) j'ai vu ces gars quelques jours plus tard au motocross de Arbis prés de Bordeaux. Y a-t-il quelqu'un qui était présent au cross de Bèlves (Dordogne) le 14 Juillet 1980? J'y étais . Il y avait Hakan Carlqvist, Georges Jobé et un certain ...André Malherbe. Si oui me faire signe.

[@jla7550]

bha bha bha les belles images !! j'avais 10 ans à cette époque ... ces motos là c'était mythique...

[@l.a.raustadt518]

Interesting ,wish I had the details of track,rider s ect. Film is good and when the sun came out much better viewing.

[@selliez]

Pas de sonnnnn :/ :( :( :(

[@bentonrodeheaver2596]

The early stages of long travel suspension, twitchy bikes for sure.

[@MrThenry1988]

Thays jumping. They are landing on the ground.

[@toddjacobs5660]

Not as good without the sound of those bigbore 2 strokes

[@KPGRUND]

Please take the music down and let us hear the bikes

[@jamesstewart7224]

Scrambling culture 👍good days

[@marhamdollah7351]

I like RM 125,250..SUZUKI....sweet..

[@dougharvey9766]

Thats 1979, looks like a fun track

[@hexhead5732]

Dirt bikes are here to stay

[@OG_aaronlee]

look at all of them fuel injected bikes!

[@mrdilligaf1968]

Where's the sound of the bikes ?

[@marylinepotart5248]

4 minutes 56 on apercois Patrick à gauche

[@bentonrodeheaver2596]

Nice looking track, would be more interesting w/ experienced pilots though. Bengt Aberg

[@bagargui]

Bent Aberg’s career was over a long time before this was filmed. BTW, riders like JJ Bruno were no slouch. He finished second in the world mx 500 championship...

[@serreipsedjm5876]

Super souvenir

[@hillbillyhorticultureselki7899]

1978? With 1980 Suzukis roostin? Hmmmm?

[@MrCR500AF]

yeah,I definitely saw a 79 RM in the first moments

[@johnnyv673]

Not 1978, it's 1979

[@francoislepoint6352]

Thank you ! ;)

[@dieseldave71]

It says something about 1979 in the beginning of the video. I don't know what it says because it's in French but the year is plain enough. Bikes are 79 for sure, the N series RM's were easy to spot and Honda had that goofy 23" front wheel

[@rztrzt]

I reckon a beginner with a months training on a modern bike would win this. Kinda comical watching this today.
