Overview

The men and machines behind the rise of U.S. dominance in this popular motorsport Motocross began in the 1960s as a European form of off-road racing, but once it was introduced in the United States in the 1970s, its stateside popularity exploded. Since the mid-1980s, virtually every motocross world champion has been United States-born. Experienced journalist and past American Motorcyclist Assn. (AMA) President Ed Youngblood traces the lively history of motocross in the United States. He is well-suited to cover this history since he helped nurture the sport's growth in the United States. The book is being produced in conjunction with the AMA Museum (In Ohio), which will open a display about U.S. motocross history when the book is published in March 2005.
