The Famous / Infamous 1986 Anaheim Supercross.

[@anthonyvo1963]

What an absolute Supercross race classic

[@Jinkuist]

I was there at age 15, just off the starting line and that was the race heard around the world lol (^_^) thanks for posting this epic battle.

[@eyeprod3101]

Same here. Was there at 15. Glorious times.

[@MarcSherwood]

I sure miss the pits on the side of the track back then. In Seattle in the late 80-90's I was lucky to get to chat with some of the pros and get Micky D's googles and some gloves from Ron L. I was sure those would make me faster in my 80 B class :-)

[@milesdufourny4813]

This race and the 1986 MXON are two of the greatest motocross moments of the '80's.

[@JoeLeonKimble]

That was awesome too Hip was my hero when do every race at l.a. coliseum those were awesome

[@eliasmora715]

i watched this video so many times wen i was a kid... good times

[@Mookfish2012]

Yes, great memories even watching it now 😊

[@polpnorbit]

Man I wish I was there to experience this. You were all lucky to be old enough to experience this. I was only born in 2006 so😂

[@Mookfish2012]

Yeah man, to be there on the night would have been amazing. I mean you can feel the atmosphere watching it now, the screams of the crowd the sound of the bikes but imagine being there.

[@clintcoop5717]

I'm sorry buddy the 70's and 80's were a great time to be a kid...I feel bad for most kids these day...you can always dream though.... 👍

[@Schmitz3]

I was at this race, one of the best ever.

[@Zollstock85]

What a Final fight,so good.

[@clintcoop5717]

I was there!!!! Miss the good ol' days in So.Cal

[@jeremyelford7926]

This sounds like it's being narrated by Stuart Smalley...

[@Bryan-jd7os]

Dude!! For real! What? Who? Gnarly!! 😂😂😂

[@DM-qp7do]

RJ was running out of gas on the last couple laps. Helluva race.

[@idontcareaboutyou7757]

ok, we can't compare the Decoster era, but we can say that Mr. David Bailey was and still is the most stylish and fast rider of the whole modern motocross era, right? and a gentleman.

[@Mookfish2012]

Bailey certainly was one of a kind 😊👍

[@jbrat122]

I was a KX kid round then, but DB made the shit look so easy, like it was effortless to him. He was definitely a GOAT

[@surfingawaveoflife]

I think DB was the smoothest, but RJ was the most stylish. DB was like an equestrian horse jumper. RJ was like a bull rider on a bucking bronco.

[@kurtrightmyer]

Trump promises to bring back Saddleback Park, Carlsbad, and Indian Dunes.

[@andreww2924]

SoCal baby! Bring it back!

[@zone47]

Bailey looks at the track as an engineer would probably due to his dad's smarts. RJ... great rider but sort of too cocky for me. Poor Bob, he's pretty much seen his better days...still he was fun to follow. Fun stuff, I never got enough riding when I was younger and these videos fire up the excitement again.

[@Livingonlargestactivevolcano]

Rider vs rider vs tough track !

[@sethmilll]

jimmy crickets that was a good race

[@andersnord8255]

Amazing

[@idontcareaboutyou7757]

LoL Ward trying to sneak in was funny as fk.

[@Mookfish2012]

Lol.... He's like what me! Nooo you got the wrong guy.... Lol 😂

[@Stroopwaffe1]

Im from the uk and didnt really like uk riders, my heroes were mainly american usually on a kawasaki but david baileys smoothness was amazing, never saw him race, watched Lechien, Ward and Johnson at 1988 MXdN in France, epic win for usa we came second.

[@careycrash9916]

Man that poor Suzuki rider who got back doored 😯

[@usatvgrizzly]

Dig it

[@jeremyelford7926]

I had forgotten just how fast RJ was...

[@ba946x4]

I sure miss these days. When they did away with the works rule. It did kinda level the field for the privateers and the big money makers factory riders and that shit scared the factory teams and they didn’t like it.

[@danbosman2246]

Jeff Ward not in main event!? Now that is a badass track! Absolutely no time whatsoever to rest on that track. Would have been awesome if Jeff Ward was in that race 👍

[@easilyscan]

Don't get me wrong, Ward was an unbelievable rider, but I don't think he could've kept up with those 2 that night.

[@oz2strokeman116]

I'd love to see a 450 main on this track.

[@idontcareaboutyou7757]

no thanks, LoL

[@jinoziniosti5633]

HeLL FUCK NO

[@1djgreg]

and no spotters or computers to help!!!

[@1djgreg]

I was just 28 years old when I did this.........

[@oz2strokeman116]

Did what? Are you the guy who thinks those quads had 4wd, so surprised Hannah didn't shoot you down with that.

[@joshg5244]

😅I still have my tickets. Not even ripped in half!

[@jaceribeiro1]

Like if you're here because of the racer x Ricky Johnson interview about the 86 cr250

[@brianbooher7318]

No but I did see it

[@chrisnordby4851]

Why was Wardy disqualified on the starting line?

[@idontcareaboutyou7757]

no disqualified, he ritired on qualify and had no right to race but gave it a try ..

[@Mookfish2012]

Yes, a little cheeky by Wardy but you gotta give credit for trying...lol

[@Bryan-jd7os]

Who is the commentator!!?? Oh boy...

[@bones6173]

And to use clutch with one finger I'd like to see these kids do it at a point I love u all those clutch levers sucked

[@andreww2924]

87 is RJ's year

[@jinoziniosti5633]

Whats "infamous" about the greatest SX battle of all time?

[@Derrick6162]

Lap rider cost Johnson the race.

[@xradrd]

Not sure about that. RJ had a massive early lead and Bailey just ran him down. But Burnworth definitely slowed him down at that moment.

[@Mookfish2012]

Very interesting comment you put there care to ellaborate?

[@Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

How come RJ has upside down forks and DB and JO have conventional forks?

[@Mookfish2012]

Good question, HRC top secret stuff....??? 😁 😸 😁

[@jinoziniosti5633]

He felt better with those.

[@danehauser8675]

The commentator must get paid for each word as the dude couldn't even pause for a second during the main to let us enjoy the race. I guess cocaine was prevalent in the 80s so maybe he did 1 too many lines. Makes me actually appreciate Ralph and Ricky (though Daniel Blaire is better than both of them).

[@xradrd]

Race would have been much better if they had Larry "Supermouth" Huffman announcing.

[@georgemichael6922]

Kind of looked like Johnson took a dive .

[@jinoziniosti5633]

"Let David bye?"

[@bones6173]

Man those were tough guys I think I need a kidney belt after watching the rear rebound was so vicious you had to ride upstairs cause if you all knew that fn seat would kick allover then kick your ass the only why is to keep on gas but yes you must slow down but she would buck look at the braking point of the track full of braking bumps man those bikes were a hand full u don't know arm pump till u hang on to those old animals. I'm 51 started at 7 years of age can beat u kids at arm wrestling

[@cintroberts6614]

Ron Liechen must have been stoned.

[@oz2strokeman116]

Yeah, Yeah heard it all before. He must be so sick of hearing this over and over for the last 33 years. He still deserves respect and you wouldn't say that if he was in front of you.

[@danbosman2246]

David Bailey and Ricky Johnson just about lapped everyone

[@danbosman2246]

Ron Lechien is badass! On Kawasaki KX's with Jeff Ward
