Oudman - Hannegan 1994

Alan Oudman ranks near the 100th percentile of motocross racers for extreme effort after the gate drops. The stories are countless, however and unfortunately, the actual video footage is few and far between. Never have I eagerly awaited an open beginner class moto than when big Al was racing in the 90s. Whenever he was on the track you knew that his racing ideology was either win or crash. And usually it always involved crashing.
Several times injuries took a toll on Oudman throughout the 90s. He could probably tell the story better than I. I remember several times he would bust himself up real bad and sell everything and say he was never going to ride again. Then, after a year or two he would emerge in grand fashion.
I remember one day I was at the gravel pit and I thought Oudman was done riding forever. Then a big guy on a new bike shows up and starts doing all of our jumps, but nearly crashing. There must have been about 30 people in the gravel pit this day, most of them on 3 and 4 wheelers. The good riders were doing a loop that included a sweet jump probably 50 or 60 feet long. All of the guys on 3 and 4 wheelers were sitting on a pile of gravel watching. I was running the loop near the 3 and 4 wheeler riders with my back to the big jump when all of a sudden they jumped up and screamed and were waving their arms. I turned around to look and see what the commotion was all about and the guy we didn't know who showed up on the new bike was laying on the ground about 30 feet past the landing of the jump. The fenders were broken off his bike and the bars were all twisted up. We ran over and when the guy took his helmet off, it was Alan Oudman. I should have known.
To big Als credit, he stuck with riding and racing past the 90s, smoothed out and started winning races without crashing.
