Hangtown MX 2001

Bobby Bonds and the coulda, shoulda, woulda: Weigandt and Rarick find the long-lost Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider to discuss his best race ever, the 2001 Hangtown National. It was Bobby's second-ever pro motocross race...and the 16-year-old almost won! A day of battling for the lead with Grant Langston in both motos ended with a vicious take out by Langston that put Bonds on the ground and off the podium. By then, injuries were already starting to pile up for the rookie, and they only got worse from this point. This was Bobby's best race, it just happened at the very start of his career. Weigandt and Rarick discuss the day and then talk to Bobby about his racing then and his life now. --- CHAPTERS --- 00:46 Intro and sponsors 01:57 Seth's busy North Carolina track 03:54 Hunting for the missing 125 footage 07:29 Wild 2001 125 class and the 250F advantage debate 12:20 Bobby Bonds hype and Loretta's pedigree 18:48 Langston's brutal takeout of Bonds 24:53 Pastrana, Langston and Brownie warfare 30:27 Tortelli's last win and leaving No Fear for Thor 40:45 Supercross hangover theory 42:34 Pastrana's slow Suzuki, No Fear look and sponsors 46:10 Bobby Bonds on the line: oil fields and the track 51:26 The lost VHS and Ghent, New York 53:53 Bobby's Hangtown memories and the elbow 58:11 Honda vs Mitch bidding war 1:05:36 Bobby on the Langston takeout 1:11:56 Mitch, the Pro Circuit exit and no offers 1:17:05 Goat Brecker, tuna diet and off-road title 1:21:06 Bobby's regrets and sign-off 1:27:07 Lit Kit: Pastrana's No Fear look 1:31:15 First Red Bull and Hansons stories 1:35:21 S**t Kit: Hot Rod Tain's AXO and Answer 1:38:46 Who's that guy and Marsak Award 1:47:47 JT and Lambie on the Husky 1:55:58 WTF Award: what happened to Roderick Tain
