This weeks collection comes to us from Tom Miller.

The following are part of my collection, my 1979 Brad Lackey book "Motocross: Techniques, Training and Tactics." This has to be the best collection of great photographs from the golden era of motocross. As you can see, mine is very well worn, I have carried this book with me for over 30 years, including a 20 year career in the USAF. Over that time, I have been able to get a few autographs from some of the players on that 70s motocross stage, including the Champ himself - Brad Lackey. I think he still sells this book on his web site - I suggest everyone who lived through those years, or has an interest in the history of American motocross pick up a copy! I hope you enjoy these pics.

No, Brad did not charge me for the autograph. I saw him at Hangtown in 2004, introduced myself and showed him the book (which I always carry with me to the track) He told me to mail it to him, he would autograph it and send it back, which he did! And while I agree, the physical conditioning has certainly been elevated, that in no way distracts from what these guys did in the 70s, I have ridden modern bikes, and if you want to have fun, take a few laps around on the machines we rode!

I know I have a several "classic" motocross training books, including this one. I should fish them out. This one he's talking about definitely has some great 70s era world championship photos.
