Some guys on the early 80's MX scene were beyond cool. Intelligent, committed, passionate.
Here's a shot of #1 good guy Selvaraj Narayana helping me set up a photo shoot for the new Maico 250cc MX. Think this must have been '80 or '81.
Sel was a good friend on the circuit. During that period, I wanted to make sure fringe brands achieved media exposure. Maico was still doing business in the Open class but it wasn't best of show at the Supercross races.
During the pre-Internet era, Cycle News held a big voice in the MX industry. We tried to be impartial with editorial content and tell stories that suited everyone. We were inclusive before inclusive was socially acceptable!
I'll say it again and again, but this was a great time in American motocross and I was proud to be able to bring the stories to life in Cycle News.
