Learn how to race and ride motocross from one of the legendary Gary Jones. Gary Jones (born April 22, 1952 in Southern California) is an American former professional motocross racer. He won the first three AMA 250cc Motocross National Championships, riding three different brands of mo
torcycles, a feat which has never been repeated. By 1969, he earned a place on the Yamaha factory's American racing team.

The following year, the AMA introduced a 250cc and a 500cc outdoor national championship. Jones won the 1972 title on a Yamaha, becoming the first 250cc U.S. Motocross National Champion. He also competed in the 500cc class, finishing second to Brad Lackey. Also in 1972, he was a member of the first team to represent the United States at the Motocross des Nations. The following season, he accepted a job riding for the Honda factory racing team and successfully defended his 250cc crown riding the Honda CR250M. In 1973, he would ride for the newly formed Can-Am team and went on to win his third consecutive 250cc national championship. Having retired from professional competition, Jones continues his involvement in the sport by working for motorcycle accessory companies and conducting his motocross schools. He also competes in motocross and desert races, winning World Vet Championships several times. In 2000, he was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, and in 2004, he was inducted into the Motocross Walk of Fame. Some of Gary's Accomplishments:
