Yeah, you're right it's changed a huge amount since then...

This one is from 1985, watch when Broc Glover stalls his bike, one quick stab at the kicker and he's back in the game. In the 4 stroke era, that can mean the loss of many places, laps or even a DNF... good thing they're technologically advanced!!

The 1975 one is my favorite.  That's before SX was all about air-time.  It didn't take them very long to screw it up.  That's why I've always liked MX more than SX.  It's a competition sport rather than a spectator sport.  It says, "damn the publicity, full speed ahead!"
