Off Road Motorcycle Tapestries
Description: Throughout the 80s there was a 3-wheeler craze and they were a common sight most anywhere dirt bikes were ridden. Despite their popularity with adults and kids alike, they all suffered from a few nasty traits. Most commonly, riders who are used to a bicycle or motorcycle would most likely lean the wrong way in a turn, put their leg out for balance, and then run over their leg. The second biggest issue was their ability to tip in canted situations as again, their center of gravity and overall dynamic didn't quite behave as one might expect them to. Nonetheless, they were a blast to ride and if you didn't break a bone or die, you probably have fond memories of tearing it up on one.
Description: If you grew up riding motorcycles in Southern California in the 1970s and ’80s, you probably remember Indian Dunes. “The Dunes,” as it was known to regulars, was a motorcycle off-road playground located in Valencia, that opened up in 1970 out on Highway 126 in what at the time seemed like the boonies. The 600-acre park had a larger purpose which was to play host to Hollywood studios as a versatile backdrop for all kinds of film and television projects, including what would be the Dukes of Hazzard's most death-defying jump of all time. Of course, most folks remember it as the place to head out with your buddies to ride dirt bikes and dune buggies, or even to take in organized motocross racing events.
Description: The Motocross des Nations is an annual motocross race held since 1947. Great Britain, Belgium, and Sweden dominated the racing series in the early days, but just like the "Miracle on Ice" shocked the hockey world in 1980, the U.S. team turned motocross upside down at the 1981 des Nations event. The U.S. had never won or even come close to winning, and with such a bad record, assembling riders for a team was tough to say the least. It was so tough, that the U.S. didn't even send teams in '79 and '80. 1981 was a different story, as America showed up, and when the flag dropped, Team U.S.A. shocked the racing world as they won Trophée des Nations. The 1981 event was the start of a winning streak at des Nations that lasted until 1994.
Description: Camping in a tent is the only way to camp. You get to experience the dirt and heat up close and personal. Potentially rabid wildlife that might have large teeth and/or claws? Don't worry, that nylon sweat lodge you're in will protect you. Either that or you will get to experience the wildlife up close and personal. It's all part of the adventure. Combine that with a motorcycle journey and you've nature'd it up about as much as possible. Nothing makes you experience the great outdoors like a grasshopper to the nose-hole at 60mph. Follow that with a mud bog that swallows your wheels quicker than a diet of sugar free gummy bears through the large intestine. Three cheers for Nature!

Description: The Blackwater 100 is a motocross race unlike any other, and one that is still known as the toughest race of all time. It started in the streets of Davis, West Virginia, and took riders out of town to wander through rivers, mountains, swamps and fields. Riders had to muscle through seemingly unending swamp sections, bottomless mudholes, squared shale hill climbs, steep rocky downhills and some of the tightest forest trails on earth. After all of that, riders hit the worst obstacle of all - the Highway 93 river crossing - before seeing the scoring barrels back in town. At this point, a nice young lady checked off his number, and then told him he’s completed only 20 miles and sent him back out to do four more laps. Sounds grueling? It was.
