A few years later the Europeans traveled to the US to race against the Top TT American racers at the famed Corriganville Movie Ranch (Hopetown) near Jim’s home. As racing progressed Jim realized the need for better parts, apparel and accessories to withstand the demands of what would become American Motocross. Soon thereafter, an American Company was born.
It’s now 50 years later. The office is just a few miles from the old Hopetown track. Today you can still find the same passion in every single product O’NEAL produces. You can also find Jim racing and riding around Southern California every chance he gets. Jim still races Baja and his drive, grit, and determination has led him to the most class Baja wins in history. Jim’s obsession pioneered a brand that will forever be embedded in the history of American Motocross.

A quarter of the 450 Class title contenders head up one of the many High Point hills as Eli Tomac (1) chases after Zach Osborne (16), Ken Roczen (94), and Jason Anderson (21) in what would be a close battle in both motos. When the checkered flag fell, defending series champ Tomac’s 3-2 moto tally landed him in the winner’s circle.

No, not quite that gnarly, but the Snowshoe GNCC, held on top of a West Virginia mountain, does have some similarities to the excruciating Austrian extreme enduro. The climbs are steep, the rocks are plentiful, and the mud is deep at Snowshoe, but it still doesn’t really compare to the hellhole that is Erzberg. But the podium at last month’s Snowshoe was all Austrian in brand, as Kailub Russell, Steward Baylor, and Ben Kelley went 1-2-3 overall on orange bikes.

hen Junior Scarborough’s WW Motocross Ranch on the edge of Jacksonville, Florida, made its Lucas Oil Pro Motocross debut in June, it marked the first time in 22 years that the Sunshine State had been a part of the series. The last outdoor national held in Florida took place at Gatorback Cycle Park, and it marked the opening round of that year’s AMA 125/250 National Motocross Championship. Obviously, a great deal has changed in the nearly two dozen years in between Gatorback ’97 and WW Ranch ’19.
I’ve never lined up for a motocross race in my life, only because I am intimidated by the damn jumps. That’s tough on the ego to admit, but it’s true. But seriously, rolling up to a jump that’s as steep as a mule’s face is pretty difficult to hit when you’ve got a stack of bills and other responsibilities waiting at home. Maybe the USMCA [U.S. Motorcycle Coaching Association] could eventually be broad enough to have a representative work with local facilities to create, for lack of better word, less intimidating tracks. It’d help me!

With Monster Energy potentially planning to get into the alcohol biz, how would that mesh with the all-American face of supercross? Or are we seeing the real reason behind the hemp-product sponsorship bans from last fall?
Dan Wilson // Colorado Springs, CO
Thanks for the note. The hemp-product ban had nothing to do with Monster Energy—it was restricted (to a lesser degree) in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross as well, which is a Red Bull-backed series. The mainstream acceptance of hemp products is rapidly changing, but not enough for all 50 states to get on board just yet. The hemp restrictions were in place long before last fall. As for Monster Energy possibly getting into the alcohol market, I’m not sure that would change anything, as SX has had alcohol sponsorships before. DC
he two-stroke resurgence in our sport is noticeable any time you hit a local track or watch a pro national. I’ve been on my soapbox for years screaming to anybody who will listen that we need to reintroduce the 125 if we want to foster future generations of motocross riders. Simply put, that bike is affordable, easy to ride, and easy to work on. There is also a public demand for the 250 two-stroke, but it’s more from the off-road crowd. Weekend warriors don’t want a heavy four-stroke when they’re navigating local trees and trails.

arvin “Magic” Johnson once tried coaching in the NBA, and it went terribly. His stint with the Lakers in 1994 ended with a 5-11 record and Magic quitting early while muttering about young kids who didn’t have respect for the veterans of the game.
In 1997, Magic’s old rival Larry Bird was named coach of the Indiana Pacers, so the league braced for similar problems. How would Larry deal with these young, cocky, disrespectful players? Bird provided one of my favorite explanations in the history of sports, saying, essentially, that he wanted his young players to be disrespectful to the vets. The goal isn’t to respect other players, it’s to beat them.
On Friday night before the Florida National, my NBCSN broadcast partner Grant Langston and I attended a dinner party with members of the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-KTM-WPS team. Team manager Michael Byrne started telling some stories, then Langston joined in. That’s when the good stuff started to come out—the hidden battles you’d never hear about in the press or on the podium. In NBA circles, it’s well-known that Larry Bird seemed like a nice guy off the court but was a trash-talking assassin on it. You only get the good stuff from athletes who have been between the lines.
nly four riders have won FIM Motocross World Championships this decade—two of them while wearing Red Bull KTM colors—but 2019 has been turbulent for both Jeffrey Herlings and Tony Cairoli. What’s been going on?
Largely on the sidelines since breaking his right foot in multiple places in late January and only weeks before the first Grand Prix. According to the team, the reigning champion was apparently faster and just as intense through training as in 2018, where he won 17 of 19 GPs and posted a 100 percent podium record. A hairline fracture in a bizarre sighting-lap crash in the first moto at Latvia in mid-June meant another period of convalescence.
2. But wasn’t he winning in 2019?
Amazingly, he went on to claim that first race in Latvia—with a broken tibia! The fixture at Kegums was round nine of the series, and Herlings was competing for just the second time in MXGP this year.
on’t worry, he’s fine!
It’s just that he might be holding a generation-long grudge against us, and we feel like we need to set things right.
You know that thing where you’re buddies with Dave at work, and then one day you’re like, “Hey, Dave!” and he goes “Actually, my name is Burt,” and you realize you’ve been calling him Dave for nine years, and then you’re gripped by the urge to shame-vomit? This is kind of like that.
Since the very first issue of Racer X Illustrated, way back in 1998, we’ve referred to the legendary Belgian racer-turned-legendary manager known as The Man like this: Roger DeCoster. Chances are you probably refer to him that way too.

Fun Bikes: Intense Tazer E-Bike | BY STEVE MATTHES | PHOTOS COURTESY OF INTENSE CYCLES USA
-bikes seem to be all the rage lately, with the Grand National Cross Country Series holding races for them and more and more people discovering the joys of assisted pedaling. Any listener to The PulpMX Show knows that I’ve been bitten by the bug also. The guys at Intense Cycles USA (one of the investors of Intense is Ryan Dungey, by the way) hooked me up with their Tazer e-bike, and it’s been a blast.
I’ve dropped a bunch of weight and have enjoyed getting outdoors again. And with the 15 percent assist—the lowest mode—it’s just enough to ensure that I’m getting a real workout but still able to go for an hour or two. Thanks to the three other modes, if there’s a huge hill, I’m able to push a button and get some serious help. The bike’s so much fun and allows people not in the best of shape—like myself, a parent, a spouse, or anyone—to join a person on a “regular” bike and get some serious exercise.
If you want to have some fun, get into Boost mode and you’ll mimic the feel of a motocross bike, without the noise and issues with riding on public land. The Tazer is a high-end bicycle with great suspension and brakes, not to mention the carbon frame. It demands to be ridden hard compared to some other e-bikes I’ve tried.

e’ve talked about setup on a flat straightaway, but I want to highlight a trick that’s helpful for turn setup when there’s an obstacle between turns— in this case, a 180-degree left-hander followed by a small tabletop, then a 90-degree right-hander. Theoretically speaking, we always want to open turns up and make them wider, which allows us to carry more speed. In this case, since the left is very tight, we take extra time to exit the turn toward the left and then use the jump to start the direction change on the bike, making the right a wider radius that we can move through with more speed. As always, racing surface will dictate line choice, but given the option, this can be a time-saver.
As the bike hits the apex, remember to be smooth on the controls as you begin to apply throttle, focus on exiting the turn tight, and look ahead as much as possible.
Look where you want to go; the bike will follow.
Murray City, Ohio’s Joseph Cunningham is one of the Amsoil Grand National Cross Country Series’ standout youth racers. Having won every youth division overall so far in 2019 (as of the Tomahawk GNCC), and with the goal of winning the YXC1 Championship, Cunningham may be asserting himself as this year’s Youth Rider of the Year when the season concludes in late October.

Welcome to the 250s.

“YOU’RE JUST GOING to have to go for it, man,” Casey shouted through his helmet.
Sage words from our trail guide for the day, Casey Conte, about how to tackle the huge, almost vertical boulder about 10 feet ahead of me on the trail. My bike was already pointed up at what seemed like a 40-degree angle as I glanced over at Casey’s brother, Jesse, who was off to the side of the trail looking for another way around said boulder. He gave me a slow shake of the head. I knew the longer I hesitated, the worse it would be, so I eased out the clutch on my borrowed bike, put my trust in the bib tubes, and gassed it up the face of the big rock.

ick Mann was just a few weeks shy of his 38th birthday when he signed up for the AMA Pro Motocross National at the Cal-Expo outside of Sacramento. (This wasn’t the Hangtown Motocross Classic—Hangtown wasn’t on the AMA schedule as a national until 1974, even though it was arguably the biggest motocross race in America at that point.) The promoter of the event was Leisuretech, headed by a rock ‘n’ roll promoter named Michael Goodwin, and not only was it a part of the nascent AMA series, it was part of his own three-race U.S. National Cup Series, which would also include stops at Saddleback and Carlsbad. For Mann, this would be the one and only AMA Pro Motocross National he would ever enter.

“I knew it was going to be tough. I was actually pretty thankful that it rained,” Hepler told Cycle News reporter Jason Weigandt afterward. “We had the mud setup with the tires, and the suspension was dialed in for the rain. I think my last mud race was Anaheim 1 in 2005, and that was horrible. I was glad to redeem my Pennsylvania mud skills.”

Manic Moto has been in business in San Tan Valley, Arizona, since January of 2014. Our number-one goal is leaving you 100 percent satisfied with the performance of your motorcycle and ATV. Eight years of experience in the motorcycle industry has taught us many things about riders, the most important being that we riders only want two things from our mechanics: 1) A thorough mechanic who pays attention to detail to get the job done right, and 2) A fair price for that service. These are the standards that we promise to our customers to uphold, and what has kept our customers coming back time and time again.

Last person who made you nervous?
DS: My driver at the Erzberg Rodeo. We were bombing the switchbacks up the Iron Giant like it was a rally race. It’s on my Instagram stories: @dannystu.
DB: Adam Cianciarulo after the 250 Showdown in Las Vegas.
Greatest accomplishment?
DS: That’s tough. If I had to pinpoint one thing it’d be the growth of MX207 or, more specifically, the 2018 Racer X Maine Event we held.
DB: Becoming a dad.
Biggest surprise of the summer?
DS: Roczen. When we were shooting Red Bull Moto Spy we saw behind the scenes just how bogged down he was. I’m happy to see him doing better.
DB: Weigandt’s watch alarm going off on TV.
Which one of you could destroy a golf cart faster?
DS: You don’t get a highly coveted regional arenacross championship like the one Daniel so proudly hangs his head on without being able to smash and dash, so I’d give this one to him.
DB: Not me. I’m too cheap to damage property.
Most ridiculous person in the pits?
DS: The locals having the time of their lives slamming cold ones and making more noise than the bikes.
DB: Stank Dog.
Best podcast?
DS: How I Built This, Pulp, [Jason] Weigandt’s, and of course some Main Event Moto.
DB: Anything but Pulp.
Favorite person in the pits?
DS: Our supercross video crew.
DB: Jim Holley.
Most useless item in your garage?
DS: My road bike. I’ve switched to trails.
DB: My gear.
First job?
DS: Grooming! I’ve been moving dirt since I was in seventh grade, and I still love it.
DB: Racing pro at 15. Bringing in the cheddar as a sophomore in high school.

North Carolina’s Jordan Jarvis is an ambitious competitor. The #301 Yamaha rider has been successful at every level of women’s motocross, but that’s never really been her main goal. Instead, she strives to be successful at every level of motocross, period. That’s why she signed up for a few rounds of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, where she has been trying to become the first woman to qualify for the motos in AMA 250 Pro Motocross. (A tip of the visor to WMX pioneer Doreen Payne, who in 1983 competed in an AMA 125 National in Colorado, which had fewer entries than today’s races, which require qualifying.) At both High Point and the new Florida National, Jarvis was close to making it in timed qualifying, and then near a qualifying spot in each LCQ before untimely crashes ruined her chances. She’s vowed to keep trying. She will also be competing in the Women’s class at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn Ranch, as well as ride for Team USA at this fall’s International Six Days Enduro. No matter where she lines up, you can expect Jordan Jarvis to be in the mix with everyone.
