The Trans-USA was great in its day

Friday, April 6, 2012


Here's how life was in my retro motocross days...you could come up with a silly cover shot idea and pull top riders together to ham it up for the camera.  Do you think this could happen in today's MX scene?  What happened to having fun?

I was covering the fall Trans-USA series.  It seems the factories were declining in interest and rider attendance could at times be spotty.  But in those days I looked past the negatives and was happy to be part of all things MX.

From left to right:  Tommy Benolkin, Donnie Hansen, Broc Glover and Dave Hollis...all tugging on the #1 plate.  Think this was the year Hollis took it. If you need to correct my memory, drop a comment.
