Motocross History...

I'm a vintage motorcycle nut. I'm thinking of starting a new kind of blog, one that would honor the guys who brought motocross to the US. I would put emphasis on the guys who brought America to the forefront, helped the US dominate the sport. I have tons of photos from my days of following World Championship MX, guys like Roger DeCoster, Gerritt Wolsink, Bad Brad Lackey, Magoo and Danny "the door" LaPorte.

Lackey was the first American to win an MX World Championship. Danny LaPorte followed, winning the 250cc World Championship just a few weekends later.

And, Danny "Magoo" Chandler led the American Team to wins in the team competition, Trophee des Nations and Motocross des Nations. Magoo was the first and only rider to ever win all four motos of the team competition.

I have maintained email contact with some of these Motocross Hall of Famers. It would be so cool if I could convince them to become a part of the blog, posting comments and sharing anecdotes.

I'll have to send a few emails. Invite them to take a look at how much fun it could be. I'm starting to get excited. Better step back and do some thinking. Any vintage mx fans out there with comments?
