The Legends and Heroes Mobile Musuem
Comments (27)
They're a dedicated group of motocross enthusiasts bringing over 40 years of motocross legacy to every Pro National event, giving everyone a chance to see the evolution of the sport and a chance to meet some of the champs that made the sport what it is today. Yesterday the mobile museum stopped by JT Racing to show us their collection of memorabilia. Be sure to stop by and see them at the Monster Energy Cup in Las Vegas on October 15th! Check out the pictures below and then visit their website for full tour details and more information at:

10.10.2011Alex's Legends & Heros is absolutely the best opportunity for modern fans of motocross to learn the origins and history of the sport. Motocross is a comparatively new sport in the US, but time is passing by and each year we lose a little bit of the history, as the pioneers of the sport pass. This is a wonderful way to preserve that history and hand it along to the new fans and riders.

10.10.2011I've worked at the Legends and Heroes booths in both Supercross and Motocross. You can't believe how many people come up to look at the booth and the bikes and get transported to "back in the day"! I know they came to see modern racing but they become kids again when they see "that" bike or "that" picture or "that" gear.

10.10.2011Alex Moros and the Legands and Heroes Team have done a fabulous job of sharing the history of Motocross in the US with race fans accross the country. Prior to their effort, the only way to get close to these machines and memorabelia was to visit the AMA Hall of Fame Museum, which is very difficult for most people to do. Bringing the bikes and displays right to the Nationals and Supercross events is providing great exposure and a valuable service in educating and preserving the roots of the sport of motocross here in the US. I have noticed that the displays appeal to a wide range fans - kids, their parents and of course, old timers! I think JT Racing USA is the perfect partner for Legends and Heroes and hope they will enjoy and benefit greatly from their involvement! Thanks You JT Racing USA!!!!!!!!!

10.10.2011This is a sterling display of the people, their machines, their products, and it's history. The quality and the execution is great. The ability to connect with riders and fans, having been to several events both supercross and outdoor, is a lock. And it's fun, too.

10.08.2011The legends and heroes tour is a popular and good idea. As a participant and sponsor I am happy with the results and exposure. We literally get 100's of lookers at every event. The L&H Tour is popular with the industry, fans and legendary riders and has proven to be good marketing tool for sponsors.

10.08.2011WOW!! Awsome display...I shaw the tour at Red Bud this year. It brought back some great memories. I have been involved in the sport since 1974 and started racing in 1978. I love this sport and it was great to see peolpe preserving the sport for future fans and racers. I have meet many pros over the years, and loved and respect thier talent. Bike and equipment back in the day turned boys to men fast. You ethier had it or you got past!! P.S. I still have some JT stickers from the 70's and 80's. Thanks for the memories, Sincerly, Gary D.

10.08.2011I love the new Legends & Heroes Tour Mobile Museum. It's a perfect way to educate the fans as to where the sport came from and to see who was who back in the day. Hats off to JT Racing USA for getting involved and stepping up to help. You Rock!

10.08.2011I love the displays, they take me back to my early days in the 1970's It would be cool to have JT sponsor the project.

10.08.2011Love seeing the Legends and Heroes Tour at the events! It shows the young kids who started the out door and indoor races and they can actually see the bikes that started it all. They can learn the history of their sport and many of them know nothing about the roots! Keep it coming! Good job to all the Legends and Heroes group!!

10.07.2011Alex, Great job this year with the events. The interest is growing and the L&H tour is definitely a big part of that interest. All 3 Texas events this year had a ton of foot traffic through the area and to see all the teenagers and twenty-somethings be exposed to the history of motocross and all the cool bike was very cool. Keep up the good work and to all of the volunteers along the way a big thank you!

10.07.2011Awesome rig! I saw it at the USGP at Glen Helen!
By: Richard Winkler
10.07.2011Very cool. This display has been at all the Supercross events and the staff does a great job letting the younger fans see the bikes and explaining their history. They usually have some of the star riders from backintheday on hand as well. Always fun.
By: Richard Winkler

10.07.2011Excellent display - - perhaps JT Racing could take the hint and start it's own JT motocross museum: gear, helmets accessories, photos, memoribilia, plus rare JT items from past and present generations, including JT's 1st pair of socks! I guarantee you'd pack 'em in daily. P.S. Why won't Hannah, Tripes, Ward, Howerton & the other great JT racers get on board with you now ?
