About the book: Xavier
Audouard debuted in moto-journalism in 1979 at age 22, after his
own racing career in France - his native country - was plagued with
injuries. He
has remained the Motocross and Supercross specialist at Moto Revue,
Moto Verte and MX Magazines since, attending hundreds of races,
half of them in America. Between his expertise and the excellence of the photographic archives from Editions Lariviere Group, this book is the first to explore the extensive and in-depth history of the most exciting motorsport in Earth, Supercross. For their "light" editing and editorial suggestions for this work, the author is highly grateful to two reputed American moto-journalists, Paul Boudreau and Ken Faught. And for his contribution to early photos and documentation research, to Dick Miller as well. Paul "Baz" Boudreau, who was part of the editorial team that founded Motocross Action Magazine in 1972 and who, along with Rick "Super Hunky" Sieman and Dick Miller, led the "Golden Age" of moto-journalism in the 1970's. Paul is currently a contributor and monthly columnist for Racer X Illustrated. Part of the enduring folklore of the sport is that, back in the beginning, "The Baz" coined the term "Supercross." Ken Faught was the man behind Dirt Rider Magazine, the largest off-road publication in the world, holding the position of Editor-in-Chief for many years until recently choosing to pursue a freelance career. Ken has always been one of the most informed insiders within the Motocross community and one of its best photographers as well. This book also features exclusive photos from the Dick Miller Collection. Dick was "the' original US MX reporter. As the Editor of MXA, he had great influence on the young sports of motocross and supercross in America. BOOK
PREFACE Supercross was not a job or a career to me. It was a lifestyle, my life's passion. For fifteen years, I dedicated almost ten months a season to training, preparing, traveling and racing across the country and the world. Racing Supercross has not only changed my life, it has defined it! I can't thank my dad Jack enough for teaching me how to ride my first dirt bike when I was five. This sport has taught me that you need heart, will power, and dedication, and you have to learn to sacrifice in order to succeed. The life lessons and experiences I've had are ones that I am going to carry throughout the rest of my life, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. It has also given me the chance to work with incredibly talented individuals and meet many great people. This is the greatest sport in the world! In return I always tried to be a good representative, give it all for the win and respect everyone involved. People tell me that I have been a good role model for kids, helped getting more mainstream attention to all this, or created better opportunities for fellow racers. If that is true, even in a small way, I am very proud of it. My autobiography tells my side of the story but Xavier Audouard's project, "The Great History of Supercross", embraces our sport as a whole for the very first time. I have seen him at the pro races for as long as I can remember. As a reporter he definitely knew what was going on. He was also the Paris Supercross representative from the beginning. I have raced Bercy ten times and had some of my most memorable racing moments there. Xavier always goes out of his way to make things smooth and exciting for us American riders in Paris! He is a genuine enthusiast and will remain my personal friend for many years to come. I'm sure you'll enjoy this book!
