We gave the Huskys a good run in the early 80's. Pettigrew on his Can AM 500 always right up there at the front absolutely fantastic balls out racing. No brakes, shocks that faded in about two miles, tank slappers and the occasional bush or rock that somehow didn't match the rhythm. I actually beat Ashcraft in the 70's for the OA in the Desert MC Hare & Hound novice class. He got faster, I got older.
Awesome I have this VHS, the original sound track sounded like a lousy High School garage band - lol. (with intermittent 2-stroke racing etc. sound tracks) This is one you'll never see on cd. Thanks for posting and God Bless the Open Class!
i did this in the 80's had a WR500 ..my girl friend would pit for me..give me new goggles...shove a bannana in my face.. give me water..hand the gas bottle to me..man i miss her....
You are GD idiot. Wait until you are talking about your douche bag 450 in 20 years, and the kickass KX500 that left you crying by the trail side. Fucking little girl.
@Bazookitup you fucking little girl. wait until you see a kick ass KX500 smoke your ass. you will be crying on the trail side. I have seen many true riders kick the ass of kids on modern four strokes, with old air cooled CR480's, yz 490's and such. you are a little pussy. you couldn't even handle a big bore from the 80's you cunt.
Those were the days!! I had a Husky 390OR with the Black & Gold Tank scheme. Watching this video and looking at their gear (dirty old worn leather gloves) , there was no glamour BS there... I wish I was back riding my 390 or my Husky 500 XC. Very fond memories of Jawbone Canyon, Red Mountain, Shadow Mountains, North Shore Salton Sea Chocalte Mtns and District 37 Events. Kids today have no clue what is was like riding a twin shock ball bearing Jack-Ass !!
Husky and Mötley rule !
