Renowned motojournalist David Dewhurst has teamed with Vintage Iron founder and American Retrocross impresario Rick Doughty to take a step back in time and offer a heartfelt tribute to a magical period when talented and outspoken riders raced the most exciting factory machines ever built, while acknowledging the current resurgence of the motorcycle industry and to welcome the future of our sport into the fold… And then there is the greater cause for this evangelism: to help combat depression via the #MaxMatters mental health initiative.
The Motocross Revival event is much more than a vintage race or showing some old bikes. It is an opportunity to make a real difference in the world, through motocross, explains co-visionary Rick Doughty. He launched the #MaxMatters mental health initiative after his son lost his battle with depression. “Max was the impetus behind this event. It is a fundraiser for Road 2 Recovery and their #MaxMatters mental health initiative.”
This artwork is from the last time Rick and his son rode together. “We take care of the bones and the muscles and all that kind of stuff, but we forget about what controls at all, which is the brain and especially with concussions added to that whole mix. It's something that needs more attention.”
Relive the Golden Era of Motocross, inspire future generations, enjoy the industry’s revival all while benefiting the #MaxMatters Mental Health Initiative on June 6, 2021. Full Schedule Of Events:
