justpinit, I'm totally down for this. I'd be happy to help out. You got a theme in mind, or just old school???

If it's Magoo, I'm soooo down. He's my favourite rider of ALL TIME!

One of my all time favs of Chandler:








With my Rob Kinsey print of Magoo pulling the holeshot at the Des Nations:




Non-Magoo:
Mr. Bailey:




The Bomber:


Mickey Dymond:


Guy Cooper:


The Hurricane, et al:


Some Canadian Content - Ross "Rollerball" Pederson (My childhood hero):

A little more Rollerball (chasing down Ricky Johnson):

How AWESOME is Broc's gear in this shot???


Wardy in what I claim is the earliest scrub (before Jo Jo Keller)....

Nice work dals,I still remember watching Magoo on abc in 82 in the usgp & the superbikers he was on fire during that time period plus winning all the motos of the trophy & mx desnations that year......here's a couple of pics to help keep things rolling,I'll let everyone guess the riders to show their old school knowledge. pics scanned from mxa,drb mags.

Steve those are great!

I love the 1st Johhny O pic!

On the minis I THINK #2 is Larry Brooks...(?) and #3 is Eddie Hicks...(?) *Let me know on this one.....

Chandler holeshot

Jeff Hicks

Georges Jobe jumping Andre Malherbe

I'll post up a clean one of that last shot.




And here's a couple of old oakley ads:





I can only find this one in French...???

[steve66]

Good job Dals correct on all except Hicks(close though) it's actually Bobby Moore............nice full width Jobe pic. A couple more pics: #801 earned a factory ride for 86 after a strong performance in 85 as a privateer but disappeared a couple years later. 250 Start at Saddleback in 82: motocross/mxa mag pics

I got that Jobe pic from the man himself with the autograph
pretty cool
He was down here with Mitch Cooke

[dals3]

Cool.

I'm going with Eddie Warren out of Michigan as #801, but I'm not too sure on that....

Saddleback is one place I REALLY wish I would have been able to ride at (or to spectate at least). There was a great post some time back in this section about Saddleback. Check it out if you haven't already.

dick - VERY COOL about the Jobe pic with that little extra . I knew Mitch was working with Georges a while back in Dubai from what I'd read and seen on the net, etc. and it sounded like an amazing opportunity. I'll tell you I was cheering for and very impressed by Mitch at the first National in Kamloops this Spring. Love the guy.

*Also have a bit of a crush on Heidi (my wife is cool with it though )...Jesus Christ, she's AMAZING; super fast, super friendly, super hot.
