I used to watch Roger DeCoster ride motocross....he was the king of the sport back in the early 70's....guess that's where the Terry McGrath thing came from.

Time warp!!!!

I have pics of Roger, Tony D., Marty Smith & all those guys that I actually took! Imay have to look around for them too...

Speaking of that.... anyone seen the Can-Am commercials of TV? Made me think of Gary Ellis....

Heal quick & complete Terry!

I just ran out in the garage & took a pic of my old toolbox from my MX "daze". You can see where the lid is crushed from being used as a bike stand... also, notice the date on the sticker! Ohhhh the good 'ole daze!!!!!

You meant JIMMY Ellis, right? Can-Am factory rider in the good ol' days. Those guys were sure fast, eh? They were rapid in practice and turned it up a bunch more once the flag dropped for the Motos.

I have pics of Roger, Marty Smith, Bob Hannah, Tommy Croft, Gerrit Wolsink,.......oh, he**, all of 'em, from waaay back in the Trans-AMA MX Series (Euros versus U.S.A.) at Puyallup, Washington. I have a bunch from several Nationals at Washougal, WA, Canadian Nationals, and Seattle Supercrosses. I was really into it at one time.
I've been meaning to pull a bunch of the Trans-AMA pics out to get a few of them re-done. I had the original color slides converted to internegs and they are slightly under-exposed. With today's technology I'm sure they can be played with and brightened up a bit. (the slides look perfect; the internegs resulted in 8 x 10s that were a bit dark)

This era was a bit before my time, as I didn't get full bore into MX racing until 1981, but still an AWESOME vid....
