March 24: Back in the mid-nineties, Steve Lamson became one of the most dominant 125 riders ever, winning the 1995 and 1996 AMA 125cc National MX Championships. After some injury-plagued years, Lammy came back in 2000 and won the Hangtown National on a privateer Honda 125. Lamson is now the Manager of the Moto Concepts Racing team.

March 25: Former Yamaha of Troy Team Manager Dave Osterman.

March 25: Happy 51st Birthday to Henry Kalisiak.

March 28: After years of being a 125 specialist “Mad” Mike Jones decided he had to do something to prolong his career if he still wanted to make a living riding a motorcycle. That’s when the freestyle motocross movement came upon us. Mad Mike is considered one of the founding fathers of the sport of freestyle. In 2001, he won a gold medal at the Winter X Games and he was the first rider to win the Red Bull X-Fighters competition.
