Crash & Burn

by Davey Coombs

There was a time in the dirt bike industry, from the mid-seventies until the late nineties, where Crash & Burn was one of the most popular publications on the newsstand shelves. An offshoot from the monthly back-page feature of the same name in Dirt Bike magazine, each edition of Crash & Burn was a collection of nothing but dirt bike mishaps that came in all shapes and sizes: supercross crashes, amateur endos, off-road wrecks, hill-climb flips, minicycle mash-ups, etc.
