The Motocross Vault Podcast by Tony Blazier

These are a few of my thoughts on the opening round of the 2021 AMA Supercross season

This is my look back at the 250 class of 1997 and how is stacked up in the magazines of the time.

This is a look back at the history of the Cannondale motocross project and 2001 MX400 it produced. When it was proposed in 1998, the Cannondale motocross project garnered huge press and great anticipation that it was, unfortunately, unable to live up to. The machine ended up coming in way late and over budget and was plagued with numerous reliability issues from the start. While the brand eventually addressed many of its early problems, skyrocketing costs led to bankruptcy and the collapse of the brand that had given it birth in 2003.

This is my look back at Honda's awesome new CR125R for 1986. This was a big year for the sport of motocross with the move to the Production Rule in the USA and Honda stepped up to the plate with an excellent lineup of class-leading machines. The CRs were at or near the top of the class in every division with the CR125R dominating its competitors with an excellent power package.

This is my look back at the history of the Joe Gibbs Racing Supercross and Motocross team from its inception in 2008 through its final season in  2020. In this video, I cover the team year-by-year and its many changes. During that time they raced for Yamaha and Suzuki and sponsored big-name riders like Josh Hansen, Chad Reed, James Stewart, Weston Peick, Josh Grant, Justin Brayton, and Davi Millsaps.

This is a look back at how the 125 class of 1991 stacked up in the magazines of the time. 

This is a look back at the Factory Connection/Geico Powersports Honda team from its inception in 1998 through its last season in 2020. Launched in 1998 as the Jack In The Box Factory Connection Honda team in support of Mike LaRocco, the team quickly grew into one of the most successful teams on the National Motocross and Supercross circuit. Promoted to Honda's official 125 support team in 2001, Factory Connection picked up high-profile sponsors like Amsoil, Doc Martens, No Fear, Samsung, Sobe, and eventually, Geico.   Over its 20-year run, Factory Connection was home to riders like Mike LaRocco, Kevin Windham, Travis Preston, Jeremy Martin, Justin Bogle, Trey, Canard, Justin Barcia, Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, Josh Grant, and Jake Weimer.

This is my look back at Kawasaki's radical all-new perimeter-framed KX250 

Produced from 1978 through 1984, Suzuki's Pure Enduro 175 was the yellow entry into the hotly contested small-bore Enduro class of the late seventies and early eighties. Based off of their RM125, the PE was a solid contender pitted against Yamaha's IT175/200, Kawasaki's KDX175/200, and Honda XR185/200R.

This is my look back at how the 125 class of 1986 stacked up in the motocross shootouts of the time. This video covers the 1986 Honda CR125R, Yamaha YZ125, Suzuki RM125, Kawasaki KX125, Cagiva 125WMX, and KTM 125MX.
