Hey, it was the early 1980's and ten feet off the ground was big air. Here's a shot of 125cc National and Supercross champ Mark Barnett styling for a cover shot, down on his grandma's farm in Alabama.
I used to love hanging out down there. Just Barnett and granny and a bunch of RM's. Suzuki would come with a box truck and drop off about 10 bikes. Barnett would put gas in 'em and ride until a bike either needed work or broke. He'd set that one up against the hog shed and take another. When they were all used up, Suzuki would come, load up the trashed bikes, and leave a new batch.
Those were the days.
