Yesterday, I got a couple hundo pics returned from a professional service that put them on a thumb drive. I’ll share a few here, the rest I’ll put up on my Instagram page ( realrupertx) . Wishing you all the best of health and cheers !

Nice looks like a mix of 2000 and 2001. There's Hughes on the pre production hrc crf450 in the one pic.

Talk about traveling back in time…

KDub on a Zook…199 racing his 125 &…a young James Stewart…?

Typical Rup-trip-thru-time. Love this stuff.

I've followed MX for 48 years. Lots of changes. some good, some not so good.

An outdoor National is more of an event today. A lot more pomp and ceremony, more visually appealing today IMO. But it's way less grass roots today.

I love photos from any era.

Am I alone in thinking that this era may have been the pinnacle of great looking motocross gear across all the gear manufacturers? No Fear, Shift, etc.. Puts to shame the "motocross pajama's" of some of the recent years.

Nostalgia is an understatement. Thanks for these, especially the ones of Stew and RC. Time flies.
