[@bella0167]

I had this on VHS I played so many times back in the day.

[@rattyratstuff7125]

friend gave me hundreds of instructional and 80s and 90s tapes to watch when i got my first sponsor. said watch them and do what they do and id be the fastest haha

[@vinceedwards3978]

It is crazy how you can see some of the newer style of riding start to appear this far back!!

"He's on him like a tattoo on a merchant sailor" classic commentary!

[@nancysmith9487]

Great too see older pros... Ward nice pass, passing Johnson who could of stuffed him in the turn, Johnson kept his cool a lot of race left, then when time is right Johnson passes him back same inside smooth.... Ward even though he's a little short still is one of the man's

[@1969cmp]

I love that 88 KX250. Its a very nice bike to ride.

[@stevenmays5075]

I can still remember me and my best friend John T watching these races i was for Ricky Johnson and my buddy was for Jeff Ward the two greatest supercross racers of all time!

[@ianmangham4570]

I went with my buddies Texas Mike O'shea and Fresno Bob 🤘

[@ianmangham4570]

Excellent camera work

[@stevechartrand4362]

Classic stuff!! Thanks for the upload! Nothing like Larry Huffman calling a race!

[@scottyd2262]

I find it hard for any real SX fan to dislike this upload !

Announcer said “He’s on Kehoe like a Krishna on an airport passenger”.lol that’s funny shit

[@ShaunSavage-kl9pd]

I remember riding a 96 yz250. To me it felt like a 88 cr250. Wide mellow power good handling laptime bike

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Just one that I loved about this era,and a lot of my friends,racers who got me into motocross finally,I was greatful,didn't was Larry Huffman,not Meyers,he was cool,johnson went by ward like a snake oil salesman in the night.well he did...and johnson landed so hard off that triple he jarred his ancestors,well he did,ask his folks...where's this guy come up with stuff,I'd been watching SX tapes,3 years straight,85,86,87,then I started helping SX as safety flagger and course worker thank to old pro who used to the stadium SX tracks,he to watch out the riders,like they were his kids,and I did that for ten years.

[@fredgarvinMP]

[@alexsaucedo8032]

40:40 Johnson controls whiskey throttle

[@Bryan-jd7os]

Larry Huffman was the absolute GOAT!

[@insertnamehere3851]

Local boy Peter Melton from anaheim, and his mate Jeff leisk from Kazakhstan

[@Bryan-jd7os]

Awesome! Good times! Why does the track look bigger? What stadium was this?

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I was there ! Dymond ? don't remember him at all. RJ all the way baby. Usually not starts well but reels everyone else in , then wins.

[@Tew730]

WARD RUNS 30 MILES A WEEK AND 250 ON HIS BIKE -WHAT?

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Yep, and than rode a bunch of moto's every week. The 80's was a pinnacle of fitness for MX/SX. The 70's and to mid 90's were a bit more party. Then came RC. :)

[@fkhan577]

@@EarthSurferUSA Then came PEDs ..

[@josephwinkler4863]

I was only 17 years old in 1988 I thought we had way better cameras This picture is horrible

[@lect0n7]

man...I need to figure out the time machine physics...I need to time machine back to this shit and enter the race with like a 1998 Yamaha YZ250...

[@sqd37l]

I need to go back in time and live my life over. I made a lot of mistakes.
