FIRST IN HISTORY: MELTON SWEEPS EVERY NATIONAL MOTOCROSS AND SUPERCROSS TITLE IN A SINGLE YEAR

On this day, 30 years ago, Team Green Kawasaki rider – the late Peter Melton - clinched the Australian Supercross Masters and National Supercross series at Brisbane's Boondall Entertainment Centre in Queensland over his teammate Eddie Warren (USA) and Kim Ashkenazi (NSW, Yamaha).

Having also won the Australian 250cc Motocross Championship that year, Melton created history on 28 October 1996 to become the first rider to win the Australian Motocross, Supercross and Supercross Masters titles - all in the same year.

During that era, the National supercross titles were run at selected rounds and events within the prestigious Supercross Masters series. Melton finished third in the final, with Peter Jackson Yamaha’s Ashkenazi winning the final round, taking out his fourth round win of the year.

Melton’s breakthrough Masters victory was achieved over 10 grueling rounds at major stadiums across the country and was one of his biggest achievements over his long and distinguished racing career.

His two Supercross titles in 1996 proved to be his last in this branch of the sport, taking his National Supercross titles to four . But he later rounded out the century with back-to-back Australian 500cc Motocross Championships in 1999 and 2000, still aboard Kawasaki machines having won his earlier titles on Yamahas.

At the final 1996 Boondall Entertainment Centre round, Ric Andrews Honda rider Paul Timmins became the 125cc Supercross Master, sliding past local hope Mickey Cook after a last-lap collision saw the Yamaha ace go down within sight of his first Supercross title. The late Andrew McFarlane was the 1996 Australian 125cc Supercross Champion.

PETER BENSON: A WA PRIVATEER WHO TOOK ON THE NATION’S BEST MOTOCROSS RIDERS

In the early 1980s, Western Australian Peter Benson established himself as one of the state’s leading motocross racers, taking on Australia’s best riders in a determined pursuit of national success.

Riding a German Maico at a time when Japanese two-strokes dominated the sport, Benson combined natural ability, exceptional fitness and a willingness to travel extraordinary distances to compete at the highest level.

Throughout his racing career, Benson won four WA State Motocross Championships, including two in the junior ranks. His tally could have been even greater, but rather than concentrating on state titles, he chose to prioritise national competition, believing that racing against the country’s best would sharpen his skills and make him a better rider.

It was an ambitious approach, particularly for a WA competitor facing the considerable expense and logistical challenges of travelling to the eastern states. Yet Benson was determined to measure himself against the best, contesting the prestigious National Mr. Motocross series and Australian Motocross Championships.

In his first attempt in 1980, Benson finished 7th in the Mr. MX series, finishing just off the podium in Round 3 in Canberra, with Yamaha rider Stephen Gall (NSW) winning his second title that year.

Benson capped off a great season by finishing third in the Australian 500cc Championships on his Maico in Dargle (NSW), finishing behind Victorian Trevor Williams (Kawaski) and Andrew Bailey (QLD, Yamaha). He showed exceptional fitness in the two grueling 35-minute motos, which was a different challenge to the back-to-back shorter, six-lap sprint races in Mr. MX.

Competing on the eastern seaboard demanded a level of dedication that extended well beyond the racetrack. Together, Benson and his mechanic / sponsor George Cowie crossed the Nullarbor Plain eight times in a single season, covering more than 32,000 kilometres in Peter’s Holden panel van.

The journeys were gruelling. At times for training, Benson would run parallel to the desert highway as they pushed towards their destination, occasionally arriving at a meeting with barely enough time to prepare for race day.

The travel distances, costs and demanding schedule would have tested even the most committed racer. For Benson, however, competing against Australia's leading riders was worth the sacrifice.

In 1982, after switching from Maico to Suzuki and sponsored by Savage Suzuki, Peter won the WA State 250cc and 500cc Championships which were run over multiple rounds.

BELL BEATS THE BIG GUNS IN THE NEW NATIONAL SUPERCROSS SERIES OPENING ROUND IN NEWCASTLE

On this day, 41 years ago, New South Wales rider Glen Bell got the new National Supercross Series off to a flying start, taking victory in the opening round at Newcastle International Sports Centre on Sunday, 20 October 1985.

The 23-year-old Team Toshiba Yamaha rider topped the points standings against a star-studded international field that included American aces Danny Chandler, Darryl Schultz and Clint Hardwick.
Bell proved the most consistent rider on the night, claiming a win in the second moto and two runner-up finishes to score 39 points and secure the overall victory.

Brian Collins Honda rider Robert Scott produced one of the best performances of his career to finish second overall on 23 points, with finishes of 7-3-4. Bell's Toshiba Yamaha teammate Craig Dack rounded out the podium on 20 points (DNF-7-1), bouncing back from a first-moto DNF to finish seventh in the second before charging to victory in the final moto.

It proved a disastrous night for the visiting Americans. Danny “Magoo” Chandler crashed in the opening moto but recovered to finish second in the second race. However, his night ended in hospital after a heavy crash in the third moto. The tough Californian lost control over a double jump and hit the ground, with Stephen Gall's Procycles Yamaha landing on his back.

Fellow American Clint Hardwick also suffered an early exit, crashing out on the opening lap of the first moto after coming unstuck on a set of double jumps.

Bell would go on to win the second round comfortably at the same venue the following week before making Australian supercross history on 31 October in Adelaide. His victory at the Wayville Showground made him the first rider to win the National Supercross Series in Australia.

The series had already endured a disrupted start. Round 1 was originally scheduled for 12 October at Toowoomba's Garden City Raceway but was washed out. Round 2, initially slated for Saturday, 19 October at Newcastle, was also postponed a day following further wet weather and rescheduled for the Sunday.

Despite its national title, the series was not sanctioned by Motorcycling Australia. Earlier standalone events had also been promoted under the “National Championship” banner, but the first officially recognised Australian National Supercross Championship would not be held until 1990, when Australian motocross great Craig Dack added the title to his impressive list of career achievements.

Bell would join Dack in the national supercross champions' ranks in 1993, making further history by winning the Australian Supercross Championship in the year the series was combined with selected rounds of the prestigious Supercross Masters series.

THE DAY THE “DACK ATTACK” CALLED TIME ON A CHAMPION MOTOCROSS CAREER

On this day, 34 years ago, Australian motocross legend Craig Dack officially retired from professional motocross and supercross racing following the Sydney Supercross at Parramatta Speedway, New South Wales.

Known affectionately as the “Dack Attack,” Dack had endured a frustrating 1992 season plagued by injuries, including broken wrists and a broken hand. After spending several months on the sidelines, the Australian motocross legend in his home State made the difficult decision that the Sydney Supercross would be his final competitive appearance.

Racing for Peter Jackson Yamaha, on 17 October 1992 Dack struggled to match the pace of the front-runners after his lengthy injury lay-off, but still managed to qualify for the final. American star and Australian motocross expatriate Eddy Warren (Kawasaki) claimed victory, finishing ahead of fellow NSW legend Glen Bell (Honda).

Although Dack’s farewell race didn't end with a victory, his place in Australian motorcycle racing history was already secure.

Over a decade at the highest level, he had amassed an extraordinary record, including five Australian National Motocross Championships, four Mr. Motocross titles and multiple Supercross championships. He also proudly represented Australia at the Motocross of Nations on seven occasions.

His retirement marked the end of a remarkable racing career, but it was far from the end of his contribution to the sport.

In 1993, Dack established CDR Yamaha Racing, embarking on a new chapter as a team owner and manager. The organisation would go on to become one of the most successful teams in Australian motocross history, helping shape generations of champions.

TIM GIBBES: THE AUSTRALIAN MOTOCROSS PIONEER WHO TOOK ON THE WORLD

AMX History pays tribute to Australian international Motocross pioneer – the late Tim Gibbes on the third anniversary of his death.

Gibbes’ influence on the sport of motocross (‘scrambles’ as it was called in those days) in Australia - both on and off the track – has never been fully recognised in this country as the New South Welshman settled in New Zealand in the late 1960s after an eight-year professional International racing career in Europe.

Gibbes, who was born in New South Wales, but grew up in South Australia, was the first Australian to win the International Six Day Trial then added motocross and road racing to his repertoire to help fund his travels across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Iron Curtain and later the United States.

During the late 1950s and 1960s Gibbes competed in Europe with success at high profile international scrambling events with Gibbes representing Australian in several 250 and 500cc European Motocross Grand Prix events – finishing in the Top 6 and winning the two 500cc International Challenges in 1960 – in Czechoslovakia (22 May) and Poland a week later.

He was even employed as a stunt rider in the famous American World War II movie “The Great Escape” which was released in 1963 and featured Steve McQueen.

Tim helped the Japanese motorcycle factories design their breakthrough lightweight two-stroke motocross and off-road machines and train local riders. And if that is not enough, he introduced international motocross to both New Zealand and Australia in the late 1960s.

Gibbes met his wife Joan while racing in Europe and sadly she also passed just weeks earlier than Tim, who died on 15 October 2023. (R.I.P. Tim Gibbes 1933 to 2023)

ROBERT “BEATLE” BAILEY: FEARLESS, FAST AND FOREVER A LEGEND

AMX History pays tribute to the late Robert “Beatle” Bailey, the New South Wales motocross star who today joins the Legends Section of the website, alongside fellow NSW greats Stephen Gall, Anthony Gunter, Craig Dack, Glen Bell, Jay Marmont, Dean Ferris, Lawrence Alderton and many more.

Coincidentally, today also marks the 45th anniversary of Bailey’s victory at the Bunbury Supercross in Western Australia’s South West on 10 October 1981.

Naturally gifted on a motorcycle, Bailey was one of the sport’s great entertainers. His spectacular jumping, enormous wheelies and ability to perform daring tricks—even in the heat of competition—thrilled spectators wherever he raced. He combined genuine speed and competitive ability with a flamboyant showmanship that made him a crowd favourite.

By 1982, Bailey appeared destined for a long and distinguished career at the top of Australian motocross. He successfully defended his NSW 250cc State Championship aboard a Suzuki, finishing ahead of emerging Western Australian star Jeff Leisk, who had switched from Honda to Yamaha, and Victorian Kawasaki rider Trevor Williams.

It was a remarkable season. Bailey captured four major victories: the Melanesia Village 2000, the 2+2 Amaroo, the Gecel Cup at Amaroo and the Startlift Grand Prix final at Mallala. He also finished runner-up to Jeff Leisk in the Australian 500cc Championship at Toowoomba, underlining his versatility and standing among the nation's elite riders.

Bailey’s performances in 1981 earned him fourth seeding for the 1982 Mister Motocross Championship, behind reigning champion Stephen Gall on Yamaha and Kawasaki teammates Anthony Gunter and Trevor Williams. In 1982, he once again proved he belonged among Australia’s best, finishing fifth overall as Gall claimed his third Mister Motocross crown.

There was a playful side to Bailey’s personality that endeared him to fans. He was widely known as “Beetle Bailey”, after the famous comic-strip character. But Robert preferred the spelling “Beatle Bailey”—a tribute to the legendary Fab Four: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

Sadly, just as his career was reaching its height, a succession of injuries began to take its toll. A serious leg injury suffered at the Melbourne Supercross late in 1982 marked the beginning of a difficult period, restricting his ability to compete consistently at the sharp end of national motocross and supercross.

Despite the setbacks, Bailey’s passion for motorcycles never faded. He continued racing motocross throughout his life, remaining connected to the sport he loved until his tragic death in 2026. On Thursday, 23 July 2026, Robert was killed in a motorcycle accident in Putty State Forest while doing what he loved.

Rest in peace, Robert “Beatle” Bailey. Your talent, spectacular riding and contribution to Australian motocross will not be forgotten. Robert is lovingly remembered by his wife, Michelle, and children Karina, Aaron and Cameron.

DALEY MAKES HISTORY AT MT KEMBLA AS HUSQVARNA CLAIMS ITS FIRST AUSTRALIAN MOTOCROSS TITLE

On this day, 59 years ago, the late Matt Daley was the standout rider at the Australian Motocross Championships at Mount Kembla, Woolongong in New South Wales – winning both the 250 and 350cc titles aboard his new Husqvarna machines.

The 22-year-old - originally from Queensland, who moved to New South Wales to pursue his racing career - on 8 October 1967 became the first rider to win a national motocross title aboard a Husqvarna two-stroke machine.

These Championships were the first held in New South Wales since Moorebank in 1961, with more than 2,000 entries received from all across the country for the new exciting Mount Kembla circuit, which officially opened a year earlier on 15 May 1966.

When Competition Motor Cycles obtained the Australian distribution of the world 250cc championship marque Husqvarna in mid-1967, they were quick to get Daley onto one of the lightweight machines.

And Daley responded to their confidence in him by taking the 250 and 350 Australian titles – winning all four legs – and finishing third in the 500 and Unlimited classes, behind Ray Fisher (VIC, Montessa) and Laurie Alderton (NSW. B.S.A.) in both events.

His breakthrough victories aboard Husqvarna’s were a contributing factor in the demise of the once-dominant British four-stroke machines down under, which up until that point in time, had won the most manufacturer’s titles in the Australian Championships since it began in 1953.

Matt Daley died on 1 November 2021, aged 77, following a long illness. Matt was a naturally gifted rider and was fast on all forms of motorcycles, including flat track and road racing. RIP Matt.

FAST EDDIE WARREN MAKES HISTORY AT THE INAUGURAL BURSWOOD SUPERCROSS

On this weekend, 39 years ago, American expatriate Eddie Warren made Australian motocross history by winning the inaugural Bellway Burswood Supercross at Perth’s brand-new Burswood Superdome.

Held on 3 October 1987, just five weeks after the venue officially opened, the event was the first major indoor motocross event staged in Perth.

Warren – the 1985 AMA 125cc East Supercross Champion – was racing in Australia for the first time, having been encouraged to make the trip by American-based rider Jeff Leisk from Western Australia, who was also competing that night.

The event was promoted by Leisk’s father, the late Bob Leisk, and the late Kim Parsons, who had previously staged the popular Supercross events at Fremantle Oval in the early 1980s.
The spectacular Burswood Superdome could accommodate almost 14,000 spectators, with a huge floor area beneath its distinctive pressurised inflatable roof. The venue would go on to become one of Perth’s major sporting and entertainment arenas.

On the night, “Fast Eddie” defeated home-town hero Jeff Leisk, fellow Americans Jeff Glass and Ricky Ryan, and Australian stars including Craig Dack and Glen Bell, along with many of the country’s leading riders.

But Warren’s Burswood victory was only the beginning down under. Following his win, promoter Phil Christensen invited him to contest a round of the Supercross Masters in Adelaide. Warren enjoyed Australia so much – and particularly his time with a group of West Australian riders – that just six months later he made the life-changing decision to migrate to Australia and settle in Rockingham.

Warren went on to win three Australian Motocross Championships, including the 250cc and 500cc titles in 1989 and the 125cc title in 1990, while also claiming multiple Supercross Masters championships.

After spending three years racing in Japan – where he won the 1992 All-Japan Motocross Championship and finished runner-up in 1993 and 1994 – Warren returned to Australia and captured another 250cc Supercross Masters Championship in 1995.

From an American Supercross champion arriving in Perth for his first race in Australia to becoming one of the country’s most successful motocross imports, Eddie Warren’s Burswood victory was the start of an extraordinary Australian chapter.

THE LEGACY OF JB – A LIFE THAT HELPED SHAPE AUSTRALIAN MOTOCROSS

Five years ago today, Australian motocross lost one of its true pioneers and legends – John “JB” Burrows.

From Box Hill, Victoria, Burrows was a leading competitor and advocate during the formative years of Australian motocross in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

One of the sport’s early stars, JB competed alongside legends including Keith Stacker, Ken Rumble, Ray Fisher, Roy East, George Bailey and Charlie West.

He became a three-time Australian Motocross Champion, winning the inaugural Australian Championship 350cc title at Daylesford in Victoria in 1953, before adding the 350cc crown at Archerfield in Queensland in 1963 and the All Powers title at Clarendon, South Australia in 1965.

Across 12 seasons, he recorded 13 Australian Championship podium finishes. Ironically, while all three titles were won on British BSA four-strokes, JB became an important figure in the arrival of the lightweight European two-strokes that would revolutionise Australian motocross.

Always searching for the latest technology, he imported machines including Greeves, Cotton, TriBSA and DOT, initially for his own racing and later through his motorcycle business. Alongside fellow motocross legend Keith Stacker, he established a motorcycle shop in Malvern that became a mecca for riders and machines during the era when motocross was still known as scrambles.

JB was also a leading voice in the famous “Jumpers War”, campaigning against Victorian regulations requiring riders to wear leather jackets and pants regardless of the weather. His persistence ultimately helped bring about a change in the rules in 1964, although he and fellow riders Keith Stacker, Mark Green and John Stanley were controversially banned for three months during the dispute for “conduct prejudicial to the sport”.

John Burrows was much more than a champion racer – he was an innovator, businessman and passionate advocate who helped shape Australian motocross.

AUSTRALIA BREAKS THROUGH FOR FIRST MXON PODIUM IN FRANCE

Countdown: 13 days to the MXoN’s at Ernée in France on 2–4 October 2026

On this weekend, 15 years ago, Australia put in its best performance at the time in the Motocross of Nations at Saint Jean d’Angely in France when the trio of Chad Reed (MX1), Matt Moss (MX2) and Brett Metcalfe (MX3) raced to third overall securing Team Australia’s first podium in the iconic event.

On Sunday, 18 September 2011 Reed got the Aussies off to a brilliant start winning Moto 1 for the MX1 and MX2 aboard his Honda, going on to finish fourth in his class with 1-7 finishes. Metcalfe (Suzuki) was sixth overall in the Open class (7-10) and Moss (MX2, KTM) finished 19th in MX2 class.

With the MXoN’s held exactly 10 years after the hosting country’s very first victory in 2001 on home soil in Namur - the French were dreaming of a second win. But the French had to settle for second with the US Team winning for the 22nd time (7th in a row!) ahead of Australia.

Americans Ryan Villopoto (Open, Kawasaki) and Ryan Dungey (MX1, Suzuki) were unstoppable with both winning their respective classes and clinching the overall victory for Team USA with a 1-2 finish in moto 3. The final placings were – 1 USA (26 points), 2 France (39), 3. Australia (44), 4 Great Britain (46), and 5 Belgium (54).

Previously, the Australian’s best performance at the MXDN’s was in 1988 when Jeff Leisk, Craig Dack and Glen Bell finished fourth – also in France, but at Villars-sous-Écot.

Australia heads to this year’s event - again in France - on the back of an extraordinary run of success at the world's biggest motocross teams event. After finishing runner-up in 2023, Australia claimed the Chamberlain Trophy in both 2024 and 2025, securing back-to-back MXoN victories. The Lawrence brothers, Hunter and Jett, were instrumental in those victories, with Kyle Webster joining them in 2024 and 2025.

Team Australia will field an all-new line-up at the 2026 FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN) in Ernée, France, with Jed Beaton, Aaron Tanti and Alex Larwood all set to make their Australian MXoN debuts.

The trio will create a piece of Australian motocross history, with this year's team being the first all-rookie Australian MXoN line-up since 1997.
