I was back out at Pala Raceway for something very special. I had already been there for four days for the Finale of the 2010 AMA MX season and the Awards Banquet.
But, as I mentioned, this was something special – the first official get together of Team USA for the 2010 Motocross of Nations. Team Manager Roger De Coster, racers Ryan Dungey, Andrew Short, Trey Canard, and all the support staff needed for an effort like this.

I felt very privileged to be invited to such an event. I soon came to realize that the most unique and moving part of the day was seeing the look of real happiness, the feeling of true honor, and the comraderie for each person involved, as ‘The Team’ came together for the first time. It was contagious. They seem to be a real ‘team’ already, working together well, and have great things to say about each other. Again, it was contagious!
On February 3rd 2012 a historical agreement was made between Youthstream and Schava SRL. Schava is a company represented by Mr. Stefano Avandero and Mr. Paolo Schneider, which will organize the FIM Motocross World Championship Grand Prix of Italy and the FIM Motocross of Nations in Maggiora.
The Motocross of Nations is the most prestigious MX race in the world annually.
For nearly a decade, Steve Bauer and Jeff Tilton have been putting on the Big Air Kids Fair at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital. The charity event brings out Supercross, Freestyle MX and Motocross racers alike and is a great opportunity for everyone involved. This year Myles Richmond and Beau Bamburg held down freestyle duties, while racing stars like Jeremy McGrath, Andrew Short, Josh Hansen, PJ Larsen, Justin Brayton the entire Lucas Oil/TLD/Honda squad, and more came out to help bring some joy to the hospital. Take a look.

Below is the list of officially approved teams (OAT) and their officially approved riders to take part in the 2012 FIM Motocross World Championship.
Where supercross started – the fabled Los Angeles Coliseum in 1972. This video is from 1985 at the L. A. Coliseum Supercross.
This video is part 1 of 2. I wanted to get it up for you as quickly as possible. In this video, for better or worse, you’ll see a lot of me (I’m number 5 on a Yamaha). But in the second video that’s coming, you’ll see a lot more of my friends in the race like David Bailey, Bob Hannah, Jeff Ward, Goat Breker, Broc Glover, Ron Lechien, Johnny O’Mara, and others.
I think in 1985, we ran two ‘main events’ at each supercross. Part of what you see here (if my memory is correct) is me winning the first ‘main event’.
And stay tuned for the second video! Both videos have the fabled Peristyle uphill / downhill. And especially in the second video coming late next week, with guys like Jeff Ward, David Bailey, Bob Hannah, Broc Glover, Ron Lechien, Johnny O’Mara and myself – you’ll see riders with about 33 AMA Supercross and Motocross titles combined!
Hope you enjoy the videos …

This past Saturday we took some time to visit a unique site that has some significance for our family. The Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall Experience is a traveling three-quarter-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and it was recently installed at Resthaven Cemetery here in the Des Moines area. Since 1990, the [...]
