Truly one of the all time greats.

Joel

Seen some old vids of course, but Cycle News and Dirt Bike Magazine were the resources where I found him as a young kid.

I'll never forget the story of him pulling over while leading the Belgium mxgp by a huge margin. he hopped the fence and got a beer from the vendor...chugged it down got back on the bike and won the race!
