We’ve just been sent a link to a nostalgic short film made in 1981, showing grassroots motocross at its finest. Shot on 16mm by amateur filmmaker Syd Pearman, the film offers a fantastic look into the world of weekend warrior motocross riders. It’s well worth a watch.

Ross is the editor of MoreBikes (and On2Wheels) - and writes for Motorcycle Sport & Leisure and Classic Bike Guide magazine too. He started off doing laps of his parents’ garden on a Puch 50 scrambler at the tender age of 5, ruining the grass and crashing into bushes. Not much has changed since. He doesn’t discriminate; taking as much pleasure from bombing around town on little mopeds as he does crossing continents on big adventure bikes.
