I saw him in 1996 at the re-opening of the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix. I was 10.

@supercrossdog You hit it on the head sir. Well put.

@bigphreaking I still follow MX and SX, but I do agree it has changed. Today its more flashy than technical and mostly because of the money thats involved these days. The hardcore riders of yesterday have been turned into spoiled brats like most other pro athletes. Ricky Carmichael was the last rider was more interested in wins over image. Some of the young riders are looking good, so Ill keep watching. Also, I do miss the 2 strokes.

@supercrossdog I don't even follow MX anymore. Seems kind of thug now and all of the factory teams and the works bikes are a thing of the past. I miss David Bailey and Broc Glover and Mark Barnett.

@bigphreaking Good knowledge about Mike "Too Tall" Bell because I actually didnt remember who won the 1980 race, but Jimmy "The Jammer" Weinert won in 1979 using a paddle tire on a very sandy track beating Bob "The Hurricane" Hannah who came in second. After that, the AMA banned paddles from competition

the king
I was there, what a small world! I was 9 years old and it was the coolest thing I ever saw. Still my inspiration to this very day. He is the true wheelie king.

The first time I saw Doug was at the 1979 Oakland Supercross (then at the 1980 Oakland Supercross), and I had never seen anything so cool. In fact, Im still not convinced that Ive seen anything cooler than that to this day.
