Sure, there were a group that did well, and some were very smart and invested, while many just lived the lifestyle until the money ran out.Ī similar thing happened with many sportsmen in that era, be it in boxing with Mike Tyson, who probably made a few hundred million, and then flushed it down the toilet on beautiful women, drugs and expensive cars. The elite riders now make great money, and I am all for that, they deserve it, but it did come at a cost.Īs we all know, a lot of motocross riders in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s hardly made anything from racing and raced as much as possible to make a living. As much as we all want motocross riders to make good money, money can also be the evil of many things, and I guess we can blame Jeremy McGrath in the 1990’s for bringing more money into the sport, and thus cutting back many of the really cool races around the World.
