the early 1990's where the most bright and colorful
era in motocross the hot pinks and florescent colors
were a sight to see at a Pro races where riders wore

Icons Motocross Collector Book Review Rating
With many more
images then shown in this review and every one of
high quality this book is truly a worthy
addition to any motocross memorabilia collection.
The fact that all the photos are of professional
racing and some of the photos cover the rookie
season of Motocross Icon Jeremy McGrath and
some really nice examples of Pro Circuit Team Peak make this a truly
nice piece of history.
