February 24: In the late eighties, early nineties, there was a guy who didn’t have a lot of natural talent but he always gave it a 110 percent. He would come through the whoops with his feet off the pegs and was always the first one to hit the big jumps. After years of having support rides, he finally made it to the factory level. Team Suzuki signed him in 1990 and he quickly rewarded them with the 1990 AMA 125 National MX Championship. His name is Guy “Airtime” Cooper
