1986 Supercross Race Anaheim-1 The Epic Battle

[westerkulla]

David Bailey was my hero. Those were the days, despite I broke my vertebrae that year too. I was lucky, still walking.

[96ADT96]

its hard to believe that that was a techinical track

[Chazyorkshire]

30 second guy had to leg it big time, thought he was gonna get taken out.

[melancholy999]

omg did the commentator honestly say "the white flag will be out before you can say jimminy cricket"?

[davepowernz]

you say gay com but how much does it sound like pastrana

[jlang13]

Most epic battle, and the most gay commentator. Come on! Where is Larry Naston!! You can't beat that guy.... "like a dog on a piece of meat!" That's a catch phrase. The commentator for this race said "they're going hog wild." Hog wild? What? .. sooo gay. And, I don't even like Art Ekman who used to say "Bar to bar." Present day: Emig isn't a good comentator, and RC is terrible... This is one area where supercross is wanting. I can't handle Ralph, Jeff and RC calling a race.

[HvyWeight]

This was some good times. This year has the potential to be great with so many riders that can win on any given Saturday. Hope they all stay healthy. Can't wait for ATL!!

@sneakyninjabear thats because it was all about raceing back then. not the poser fest it is now lol the guys nowadays feel the need to pull a whip over every jump :P

[xLLexMox]

@celticfrost78 you got that right man M)

[xLLexMox]

@celticfrost78 thts rght

[skatepunkzero]

@celticfrost78 How is it a poser fest now? The only people that pull whips are the freestyle guys. The only thing that sucks about modern supercross is 4-strokes. Still Carmichael, Villopoto, McGrath, Ezra Luzk, Dungey, Windham, Andrew Short are all great riders, who are only in it to race. You can't say their posers

[melancholy999]

@celticfrost78 the reason they (or we) whip over every jump nowadays is because the whip motion keeps the bike low in the air and slows the bike down in mid air which means they/we can take a faster approach to a jump and land quicker too.

[SNEAKYninjaBEAR]

its funny how back in the day they had fat old guys holding the 30 sec sign

[worldskater31]

wow and too think the very nrxt season would be baileys last and would never be able to race again... that would suck so bad. respect to bailey and his family. but now he wins wheelchair races! that shows how badass he still is after he bacame parapalegic.

[Bamfmg1]

The best supercross season ever!

[MrSwedishBastard]

[mikepassword2]

2 strokes rule

[stafo53]

David Bailey the little professor he was

[stynie1]

Bailey might of been the smoothest rider ever.

[1973Johnny2bad]

growing up I always thought rick johnson was the best ! I think I was twelve or thirteen when this race happened. I was riding an RM80 then -_-

[dmenace259]

Baily schooled RJ's punk ass

[ktmrider63]

[supermotardmario]

[859jack]

RJ was bad ass in his prime!

[disyokerr]

Cr 250 the great rocket, ever. No other bike like this one Honda CR250 1986
