And the hits keep coming
Another giant of MX has taken his leave.
Mike Bell, a Yamaha rider his entire professional career, passed away yesterday of a possible heart attack while mountain biking. RIP, Mr. Bell...
"My first Superbowl of MX: “It was in 1974 at the High School MX exhibition race. Back then a lot of high schools had MX teams and we had to race a qualifier to get in. Marty Smith was a senior and already a factory rider so he was all everyone thought about. I got the holeshot and all I could think about was “when will Marty pass me?” He finally did with two laps to go. That was probably my greatest second place finish ever!”
