30 Years of Championship Dirt Bikes - Written by the deceased editor of VMX (Vintage Motocross Magazine).
Motocross racing pits man and machine against a jump-filled twisting dirt race course and 10 to 40 other riders. The first one to the checkered flag wins. In recent years, interest in the history of motocross has led restorers, collectors, and enthusiasts to resuscitate motocross racing machines back to their original condition.
In Motocross Racers, 30 significant examples of restored race bikes are profiled with stunning color photography and detailed information about the machine's race pedigree and historical significance.
Author Ray Ryan, editor of VMX magazine and one of the world's vintage motocross experts, collected photographs of perfectly restored historic motocross models.
With lavish photography of rare machines and in-depth information from an expert on the subject, Motocross Racers is a unique look at one of America's fastest-growing motorsports.
