Cantaloupi, Smith and Glover: When box trucks were cool

There was a time in American motocross when riders were mostly accessible throughout the race day.  Team transporters, much less custom motorhomes, didn't yet exist.

Instead, most everyone congregated outside their box trucks - one rider, one mechanic, one truck.

It was simple and by today's standards, crude.

But we didn't know any better and that was the MX life.  We embraced it.  I think the box van era promoted a stronger sense of community. I'm glad I was there to be part of it.
