For those who didn't know Danny Chandler, he was a super berserko rider who was always running the ragged edge. He was somewhat inconsistent in his results, fast one race, crashing in another, but one year, he put it all together at the Motocross des Nations with 1-1 scores, then he put it all together again at the Trophee des Nations with another set of 1-1 scores, beating all world champs, national champs from around the globe in all four motos. What a hero!
I talked with him a few years ago at Hangtown. He signed a picture of himself leading the Motocross des Nations, going off a jump crossed up with his fist in the air. Gives me goose bumps just thinking about his performance.
Rest in peace, Magoo, you gave it your all and you inspired us all.
