old school pics
This was 1983 Seatac BMX triple point race, that's me in front,
I think this was one of the motos early in the day. It was a good
day though I won this 15-16 cruiser class and 15expert and my teammates
won all their categories so we walked away with the team trophy as well.
The team trophy was 6 ft tall or something which was some kind of selling point to win it.
I think we had to take it all apart to get it into someones car.

My 1981 kx80 and the first year of the Unitrak suspension, the second photo is racing
in the 80A class on that bike in the yamaha gold cup series Whidbey Island.
This on a high speed roller that you'd hit flat out. The Whidbey Mx
track was more like an enduro it was so long. We had 2 - 25 or 30 minute
motos or something and only did 4 or 5 laps. The track had a gnarly for
the day - ditch jump that was right out of a hairpin turn,
the jump was more of a big dropoff about ten to 12 feet up which
was followed by a 12 foot trench, it wasn't a double you'd just land on the flat.
It turned out to be a no brainer even though I worried about it all
night wondering if I was going to be able to clear the thing.
I was 13 and only on an 80 and I remember guys in the senior classes were even talking about it.
On an 80 you had to be really committed out of the turn, fanning the clutch, to have enough speed to clear it,
but then you'd just float right over it.
Even though you landed on the flat the suspension soaked it up.

XS 650 Chopper
Saw this on Craigslist.. XS650 chopper .. literally
Adams-Wilson "Choppy" home-built Helicopter.
Powered by 650cc Yamaha twin. Fully functional vertical take off.
65 MPH 8000 ft. ceiling
I bought this but do not know how to fly a roto-wing.
Have been told it would be a good idea to be able to fly one!!!
Would also make an excellent attention-getter for your buisness!
