Motocross The Golden Era is a heartfelt tribute to a magical time. It’s a look back at a moment in history between 1970 and 1986 when motocross came of age. Old four-strokes were suddenly overshadowed by a new breed of specialized two-strokes that would change the sport forever. The sport suddenly exploded in America and a massive new market was born. It was also a time of experimentation, with radical new ideas being tried daily.
Every champion makes winning look easy, but behind the veneer of perfection is a story of struggle, a story of determination and a story of endless hard work. Whether it's Brad Lackey's eleven-year struggle to win a world title, or Mark Barnett's endless hours of practice, each champion has a unique story about their rise to the top.
Everyone dreams that a factory bike will make them a champion, and everyone has dreamed that any one of these four monsters could have made them a champion. Read what it was like for the real champions, Roger DeCoster, Broc Glover, Bob Hannah and George Jobe and their exotic factory machines.
