MANJIMUP 15000 HISTORY FILM TO PREMIERE ON TRADITIONAL RACE DAY THIS SUNDAY

This Sunday, 31 May 2026, the Power Up Electricity Museum will host the premiere of a brand-new documentary produced by Australian Motocross History, celebrating the remarkable story of the Manjimup 15000 and the Manjimup Motorcycle Club.

Originally planned to premiere during the 2026 Manjimup 15000 event itself, the documentary found a new venue following the unfortunate cancellation of Australia’s biggest annual outdoor motocross event. Dirt High Promotions made the difficult decision earlier this year amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding rider and team travel logistics linked to fuel supply issues.

The documentary takes viewers on a journey through four distinct eras of Australia’s most successful outdoor motocross event — from its groundbreaking beginnings in the 1980s through to the revival and modern era under Dirt High Promotions from 2009 onwards.

Packed with rare archival footage and hundreds of historic photographs — many courtesy of renowned Australian motocross photographer Peter Kitchingman — the film captures the unique atmosphere, characters and history that have made the Cosy Creek MX Circuit famous across Australia and around the world.

Central to the story are two key figures in the event’s history — Trevor Holm and Willie Thomson. Holm masterminded the inaugural Manjimup 15000 in 1980, named after its then ground-breaking $15,000 prizemoney, and helped elevate the event to international status.

Thomson later carried the torch into a new era from 2009 onwards, helping restore the event to prominence for a new generation of motocross fans.

A must-see for motocross enthusiasts, sporting historians and anyone passionate about Western Australian history.

REIGNING MR. MOTOCROSS GARY FLOOD WINS HIS HOME ROUND IN WALLAN

On this day, 50 years ago, reigning Mr, MX Gary Flood raced away with top points on his home track in Round 2 at Wallan in Victoria.

On 23 May 1976 the Wallan track lived up to its notorious reputation with only 10 riders finishing the round and only three of those riders accruing points from all four heats.

Competing on a Bultaco 250 up against the bigger bikes, Flood finished 2-1-1-3 to accumulate 57 points and move up into third place in the overall series.

Suzuki rider Geoff Worrell was third overall on the day (5-4-4-2) on 23 points with his consistent performances over the opening two rounds see him take the series lead om 71 points. Team mate Anthony Gunter was now one point behind him in second in the overall series on 70 points (4-DNF-3-6).

Another Suzuki rider, Victorian Steve Cramer won two races (1st and 4th) and finished second in the round on 30 points, despite not finishing the other races due to a crash and machine problems – moving up into the Top 10 overall.

Wallan was a disaster for many riders, including Stephen Gall and 1974 Mr. MX Trevor Flood on his modified Montessa, which let him down badly on the day.

Young Alan McCarthy’s works Suzuki stopped with plug trouble and he had no spare bike available. Discovering that under his contract he was supplied bikes, but no parts or mechanics, disappointed and homesick he gave up his contract and headed back home where he had the full support of Suzuki WA and his family.

Anthony Gunter won the opening round at Amaroo Park and Stephen Gall the final round at this venue, as well as winning round 4 in Clarendon, SA.

But Gunter went on to win his inaugural Mr. MX on 201 points ahead of Geoff Worrell (Suzuki, NSW, 182) and Gall (153) with Per Klitland, (Yamaha, NSW, 105) and Mike Landman (Yamaha, VIC, 90) rounding out the top 5.

TIVOLI BELONGS TO GALL AFTER SECOND STRAIGHT WINTERNATIONALS VICTORY OVER INTERNATIONAL RIVALS

On this weekend, 45 years ago, New South Wales rider Stephen Gall won back-to-back Winternationals at Tivoli in Queensland up against a star-studded international line-up.

Gall was the inaugural Golden Breed Winternationals champion in 1980. On 17 May 1981, the top motocross racers from all over Australia were competing against Kiwi Champion Gary Whittaker and Americans Donnie Hoover and Jim Ollie, with $3,500 prizemoney up for grabs.

The previous year American legend Bob “Hurricane” Hannah was contracted to contest the Winternationals, but unfortunately he suffered an injury and was unable to make it down under.

Three-times Mr Motocross Anthony Gunter (NSW) was unable to compete at Tivoli, out with injury, while Stewart McLachlan and Alex Kidas were overseas in Hong Kong, competing in the Asian Championships.

Gaythorne Yamaha rider Andrew Bailey shocked everyone by retiring from motocross only days before the event.

Riding a Yamaha 465, Gall held off a strong challenge from teenage riders Robert “Beetle” Bailey (NSW Suzuki) and Jeff Leisk (WA, Honda) to win the title with an unbeaten four-race maximum score.

More than 6,000 spectators were cheering on the Gall as he crossed the finish line to win Race 4, having only needed to finish fourth or higher to take out the $1,100 first prize, finishing ahead of Bailey and Leisk, respectively.

Only two points were separating them heading into the final race, with Bailey finishing second and Leisk in sixth after being caught in the mid pack from the start.

Third overall went to Ron Dinsdale (VIC, Honda) with New Zealand Maico rider Gary Whittaker in fourth. The Americans were no match for the Aussies at this meeting with Donnie Hoover’s best result being fifth place in race 2.

SMYTHE EDGES OUT GRANQVIST TO CLAIM MR. MOTOCROSS OPENER AT BROADFORD

On this day, 47 years ago, WA rider Graeme Smythe got his 1979 campaign off to a great start winning the opening round of the Mister Motocross (Mr. MX) series at Broadford in Victoria – tying on points with Swedish expatriate Pelle Granquist on a Husqvarna, who was the reigning Australian 500cc and 250cc champion.

But Smythe was declared the winner on a countback on Sunday, 13 May 1979 with the faster times and was on 50 points, together with Granquist, with South Australian Steve Rowlands (Honda) on 39 points in third.

Reigning Mr. MX Stephen Gall was fourth on 23 points and Gunter started the series with a dismal display to finish in fifth (18) ahead of Mark Hill (VIC, Suzuki) on 15 points. Four starts, four crashes and only 21 points to his credit left Gunter in bad shape with little chance of winning his third Mr Motocross crown.

With Gall winning round 2 at Tivoli in Queensland and Gunter round 3 at Clarendon in South Australia, the fourth and final round at Amaroo Park turned out to be another memorable Mr. MX finish, with Graeme Smythe, Gall , Gunter and Granqvist all with a strong chance of winning the series.

Smythe led the series right up to the final round at Amaroo Park with Gall in second. Thirteen points behind Smythe going into the final round, Gunter knew that to win the series he had the almost impossible task of needing four straight wins, which he did!

In a thrilling final in front of 8,000 people, Gunter lined up on a works Suzuki RM400, which he secured just 4 days before the race from Neville Cutt’s Suzuki team in the West. Gunter convincingly won all four races and won the Mr. MX title for the third time to etch his name in the history books and take home $5,000 in prizemoney. He finished on 171 points, just 5 points ahead of Smythe and Gall who tied for second place (166).

It must have been a bitter pill to swallow for both Smythe and Gall, who ended up finishing equal second to miss out on the series by just 5 points in the very last race of the series!

BREAKING LOOSE: UNLEASHING THE MANJIMUP 15000 AND LEISK'S RISE IN THE 1980s

Extract from Magic Manjimup 15000 documentary: 40 years history in one hour

Local WA hero Jeff Leisk was just a teenager when he burst onto the scene at the inaugural Manjimup 15000 on Sunday, 1 June 1980 — the beginning of a legend, and an event that would change Australian motocross forever.

Hosted by the Manjimup Motor Cycle Club, the race offered a staggering $15,000 prize purse — the richest in the nation — and drew more than 5,000 spectators, growing to crowds of 10,000 throughout the decade.

At just 16, Leisk lined up against an international field. The first event was won by Roger Harvey from the United Kingdom , alongside top American riders Russ Darnell, Dave Haugh and Joe Seubert. But it was clear — a new star was rising.

Despite a clash with the eastern states’ Mister Motocross series, Western Australia’s lineup was stacked: featuring national champions Neville Cutts (from Manjmup), Shane Kirkpatrick, Graeme Smythe — and Leisk, already a World Junior Mini-bike Champion.

The racing was brutal: three long motos inspired by the World Motocross Championship format, pushing riders to their absolute limits. By 1983, the format evolved into a faster, more spectator-friendly showdown — shorter races, more action, with the final moto featuring the majority of the prizemoney. The result? Pure magic.

Manjimup became a Foundation Day long-weekend tradition at Cosy Creek, attracting the world’s best and cementing its place in motocross history.

Leisk would go on to become the event’s first double winner, taking back-to-back victories in 1984 and 1985 before heading to the United States.

Alongside names like Darryl Willoughby, Jimmy Ellis and Craig Dack, the legend of the Manjimup 15000 only grew.

By 1988 — Australia’s Bicentenary year — the stakes hit new heights, with a record $33,000 prize purse, as Dack claimed back-to-back victories and the event reached its peak. This is the story of how it all began.

GALL'S 1982 MR. MOTOCROSS TITLE DEFENCE UNDER WAY WITH BIG WIN AT BROADFORD

On this weekend 44 years ago, reigning Mister Motocross (Mr. MX) champion Stephen Gall blitzed the opposition on his Yamaha YZ490 in the opening round of the 1982 series at Broadford in Victoria.

With three Mr. MX titles under his belt on Sunday, 2 May 1982 Gall looked on track to retain his title and win for a record fourth time.
Throughout the round, Gall dropped just one win to South Australian Pitman Yamaha rider Darryl Willoughby – out of the four heats contested.

Young Victorian Suzuki rider Ray Vandenberg emerged at the Broadford round as a future star after finishing the day in fourth place with 28 points. The circuit continued to be a voodoo track for Anthony Gunter, after his four starts resulted in four DNFs.

Gall’s new Toshiba Yamaha teammate Jeff Leisk trailed in fifth place – 31 points of the lead, but would challenge Gall for the series lead after his two wins and two seconds saw him shoot up the points table to be just 15 points behind him after round 2 at Tivoli in Queensland on 6 June.

Darryl Willoughby took out the third round at Amaroo Park in New South Wales, to overtake Leisk for second overall in the series with Gall clinching a record fourth title with wins in 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1982.

Final points for the series were Gall (179 points), Darryl Willoughby (173), Leisk (168) with Vaughan Style (NSW, Honda, 97) in fourth and Robert Bailey (NSW, Suzuki, 86) in fifth.

COSY CREEK CALLING: WHEN THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL AND TOP STATE MOTOCROSS STARS FIRST CAME TO MANJIMUP IN THE ’70S

Extract from Magic Manjimup 15000 documentary: 40 years history in one hour

Long before the Manjimup 15000 exploded onto the world stage in 1980, the Manjimup Motor Cycle Club was already leading the charge — at State, national and international level.

On 5 September 1971, Manjimup hosted its first major international event: Round Two of the Australian International Motocross Series. Run in collaboration with the Auto Cycle Council of Australia and State bodies, the series followed the bold international format pioneered by the late Tim Gibbes.

The opening round, staged a week earlier at Herne Hill by the AJS Motorcycle Club, had drawn massive attention — filmed live by Channel 7 and watched across the country. The riders were world-class. Jim Aird from Scotland, Randy and Rowley Owen from England and New Zealand champion Ivan Miller.

The official Australian team consisted of national champion Gary Flood from Victoria, Laurie Alderton from New South Wales and Ritchie Kings from Western Australia.

Across the first two rounds, the results were almost identical. Aird and Miller went head-to-head, trading victories and taking their rivalry all the way to the final round at Tivoli in Queensland. In the end, Miller claimed the series on a countback — tied with Aird on 44 points.

Victoria’s Gary Flood was the first Australian home, ahead of West Australian Graeme Smythe. Local WA riders Philip Bruce, Richie Kings, Alan Reid, Doug Underwood and Laurie Johnson also finished in the points. The championship then rolled on through Mount Lofty in South Australia, Christmas Hills in Victoria and
Mount Kembla in New South Wales.

Just three years later, in 1974, Gary Flood returned to Cosy Creek with his brother Trevor — and together they dominated the Australian Motocross Championships.

Graeme Smythe from Kalgoorlie was the best performing WA rider finishing second and third respectively in the 500 and Unlimited classes.

The event, which coincided with the club’s silver anniversary, was a big success and followed two unsuccessful bids to host the National titles in 1962 and 1968, which were allocated respectively to two WA circuits - the Rope Works in Mosman Park and neighbouring town Collie.

From that moment on, Cosy Creek was no longer just a local circuit. It was a stage, a stage that would host more State Championships, Australian Championship rounds and international events.

In 1992, history was made — when the Motocross of Nations was held at Manjimup for the first time ever outside the Northern Hemisphere. Then in 1993, Manjimup hosted a round of the World 125cc Motocross Championship.

Each week leading up to the premiere of the Magic Manjimup 15000 documentary at the Manjimup Visitor’s Centre on 31 May 2026, AMX History will release a new chapter on its website and stories from the documentary, taking viewers through the various eras of the event.

LEISK BLITZES THE FIELD IN OPENING MR. MOTOCROSS ROUND AT BROADFORD

On this coming weekend, 41 years ago, reigning Mister Motocross (Mr. MX) Jeff Leisk (WA, Honda) got the new 1985 season off to a perfect start – winning the opening round at Broadford in Victoria.

Leisk won every race on the day to score maximum points. But the surprise packet at Broadford was Queenslander James Deakin who was second behind Leisk on 40 points with US expatriate Jim Ellis (Yamaha) in third on 32 points. Ellis showed great speed, but a string of poor starts and machine problems restricted his performance in the opening round.

The 1985 Mr. MX series underwent a major change when the main event was switched to 250cc machinery and reduced to four rounds – at Broadford (Victoria), Mallala (SA), Toowoomba (QLD) and the new Oran Park circuit (NSW).

The decision to switch from 500s to 250s was made to boost participation as supercross events were now dominating the National scene and most riders had the smaller machines so they could ride the one bike in both branches of the sport.

It was also considered at the time that more riders would be competitive on the 250s as against the larger 500cc machines. But the change made little difference to the reigning Mr. MX champion who in 1985 picked up from where he left off the year before.

Leisk won every race during the season, except for one where he placed second after dropping his bike on the first corner in Round 2 at Mallala (SA).

Leisk clinched the series at Round 3 at Toowoomba (QLD) – with one round still remaining - when his point score lead doubled the nearest rider Vaughan Style, who was on 82 points.

AUSTRALIAN JETT LAWRENCE MATCHES REED’S LANDMARK AMA SUPERCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP WIN TWO DECADES APART

On this day, four years ago, 18-year-old Jett Lawrence clinched his first AMA Supercross title in Foxborough in the United States.

On 23 April 2022, the Queenslander won the 250SX East Championship, finishing second in the main event, which was enough to secure the championship one round early.

Jett became the second Australian to achieve this feat, following in the footsteps of his childhood hero Chad Reed who also won this championship twenty years earlier in 2002.

Foxborough marked Supercross’s return to the venue after a four-year absence, and Lawrence needed a strong result to lock up the 250SX East title. He did not get an easy launch, starting mid-pack and climbing quickly into the top five by lap 4. Once in contention, he matched the pace at the front and set the race’s fastest lap while chasing the leaders.

The key moment came when RJ Hampshire crashed with about four minutes left, removing one of Lawrence’s closest title threats from the equation. Lawrence then moved past Pierce Brown for second on the penultimate lap, which was enough to seal the championship.

Forkner took the race win, but the bigger result was Lawrence securing his first AMA Supercross championship and his second AMA title overall, after his 2021 250 Pro Motocross crown.

The championship was a major milestone with Jett in his third year of racing supercross in the United States. His 2022 title was built on consistency as much as speed, with podium finishes in every race that season and four wins along the way.

Since Foxborough, Jett Lawrence has moved from 250SX champion to a multiple-time 450 champion in both Supercross and Motocross.

He is now also a three-time SuperMotocross World Champion (2023, 2024, and 2025) and two-time Motocross of Nations winner (2024 and 2025) as part of the Australian team, along with his older brother Hunter and Kyle Webster.

MANJIMUP 15000 MX: 40 YEARS OF DIRT & DESTINY — THE UNTOLD STORY

On Sunday, 31 May 2026, AMX History will premiere its newly produced documentary chronicling the remarkable story of the Manjimup 15000 international motocross spectacular and the Manjimup Motor Cycle Club, tracing its journey from humble beginnings in 1949 to global recognition.

Manjimup locals and visitors will be the first to experience the one-hour documentary titled: ”Magic Manjimup 15000 MX: 40 years history in 1 hour”, with a special launch scheduled for the WA June long weekend—traditionally home to the iconic Manjimup 15000 event.

While this year’s Manjimup 15000 event has been cancelled due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding rider and team travel logistics amid fuel supply issues, locals and fans making the pilgrimage to Manjimup will still be treated to a unique celebration of motocross history.

The documentary’s first public screening will take place at the Power Up Electricity Museum, located within the Manjimup Visitor Centre. Following its premiere on Sunday, 31 May, the documentary will be show on the following Saturdays at the same venue within the Manjimup Visitor’s Centre.

This landmark production dives deep into the rich legacy of the Manjimup 15000, held at the famed Cosy Creek circuit on the South Western Highway just outside Manjimup. It also explores the evolution of the Manjimup Motor Cycle Club, highlighting its champion riders, dedicated volunteers, and four generations of families who have helped shape its enduring success.

Central to the story are key figures including Trevor Holm and Willie Thomson. Holm steered the inaugural Manjimup 15000 in 1980—named after its then-groundbreaking $15,000 prizemoney—and played a pivotal role in its rise to international prominence.

The history of the Manjimup Motor Cycle Club is also preserved. Founding members brothers Doug and Bob Cutts, along with Bob’s son Neville were Australian motocross legends.

Doug was the club’s first Australian Champion in 1955 (in the 500cc class at the Rope Works in Mosman Park, WA) and Neville became the 1979 Australian Unlimited Champion (at Wanneroo, WA) – winning the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh trophy. Bob was a two-time Harley Scramble Champion – at the Rope Works in 1960 and at York in 1967.

In 1976, the Manjimup MCC almost had its third national motocross champion when Bevan Blakers (the sone of founding member Bert Blakers) was the runner-up Australian 250 Motocross Champion at Tivoli in Queensland. Bevan led that event until the last lap when his front wheel collapsed.

Bevan later served as president of the Manjimup Motor Cycle Club in 1982 and 1983 and is still actively involved in the club today. His son Shane Blakers now holds this same position, alongside his wife Courtney, who is the club and race secretary.

In the coming weeks, each Sunday AMX History will release a new chapter on its website and stories from the documentary, taking viewers through the various eras of the event.

Don't miss this opportunity to relive the history and legacy of the Manjimup 15000 Australia.
