Love this thread.
 
Back in the early 1970s, they held a Trans-Cal Motocross Series race at the P.A.L. track in Sunnyvale CA., and I was there to film a little.... There were these really fast guys there that day.

Yeah, I noticed when I finally gave up my UJM and got a "modern" bike there where a lot of things I couldn't do.

Of course the UJM didn't do really well what my dedicated street bike does now.
 
Oh man oh man!!! :thumbup

I love the music to the videos!!!
 
Okay, this one is personal.... My brother is filming me racing Motocross at Santa Clara PAL MX track 1972... I'm the one in orange jersey and white helmet riding a '71 Suzuki TM400 (orange tank) in the beginning of the video and at the end, all muddy in the pits.

Thank you for all the pictures and videos you're digging up and posting this thread.
 
Here's some real local Motocross history.
Late in 1968 the Santa Cruz Ridge Runners MC helped host the DeLaveaga Park International Motocross, held in Santa Cruz California.
The newly crowned World Grand Prix Champion was there to race and so were many other G.P. contenders like Torsten Hallman..., there were plenty of Europeans there... There was even a Trials demonstration going on in the pits.
Note; when you see the reoccurring racer #54, (in green jersey), that's Allen Kenyon, son of the film maker, Sonny Kenyon, who was the son of Pops Kenyon, both Motorcycle dealers on the peninsula....
It's a long video, 15min., but well worth the time to see the differences between the Americans and the Euros in 1968
