Motocross Captured with Johnny O'Mara
Johnny O’Mara: "This was my last year of pro racing, it has been eleven years and I kind of knew that it was over. So I went into the last 500 series knowing I took a one-year deal from Kawasaki and everyone kind of knew that would be it. I don’t think I can say I didn’t want to race anymore but I had pulled the reigns back and had a decent year, it wasn’t one of my best but I was a top guy. And then I moved onto my other life bicycle racing which I was already into at this point.
"I always had those guys, like Al Baker who was my mentor and he had passed away the last few years of my career. I always remember him saying to end my career like you were landing a 747- just bring it in slow, steady and smoothly. I always remember those words to this day so that’s why I say that."
