I know exactly what you're talking about. 10 years ago I got into riding, when someone sat me down and put Dirt on. I was hooked! That was early August 1995. Here we are, 10 years on, so much has changed, but I still watch Dirt and think "awesome".
I dont know why, but I'd never visited the site until today, and the first thing I saw was the dates under Jason's name, 1971 - 1995. I'm 24 now, and it really hit home how much he achieved in his time. Jason, and his family, continue to be an inspiration to me, and to the people I ride with.
Respect.
