Wayne Gardner was the hard man of GP racing. He was frightened of nobody... Fantastic. He also was a bloody fine road racer, I mind him racing at the Ulster Grand Prix but the mad bastard threw it down the road at Wheelers..

Tough as nails, and a great champion. I first saw Wayne racing at Laguna Seca for the 1988 USGP. His Honda would violently buck and weave coming downhill through turn nine (now Rainey Curve). Scary? Maybe a little. My girlfriend, an emergency room nurse, would cover her eyes every time he came by!

I was there at the fence on the last bend before the finish straight. Incredible race. When the crowds finally left the circuit, the locals were waving and cheering everybody as we past their houses on the way home.

My brother and i snuck into the start finish straight grand stand. Was one of the best days and nights i have had, walking up and down the traffic jam after the race talking to everyone, sneaking beers at 15 yrs old. Memories. Very sad a police officer lost his life on traffic control that night.

Great video as always Simon. You got to see if you can get Eddie Lawson, he ghosted racing when he retired , maybe Randy Mamola can help ;-)

Is there a way to see the full channel 9 Darrel Eastlake and Barry Sheene call of that race ?

Bravest racer ever hands down and I´m a Schwantz fan. That race at Suzuka 92 is just incredible. So sad the end. Hi did´n deserve that punition.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. What I meant was foot positioning. How do you position feet in change of direction?
