Description
Another talent from famed “El Cajon Zone” of the San Diego region of California, Ricky Johnson’s rise to prominence was instrumental to the phenomenal growth of today’s sport of Supercross. His seven national titles and 61 all-time career wins was an AMA record until a young admirer, Jeremy McGrath took the sport to another level.
Ricky Johnson became known as “Bad Boy” by coincidence but his racing style and determination matched with his off-track outspokenness, lived up to the nickname as he became a fan favorite. As the youngest pro racer in history he was part of the factory Yamaha squad before landing with Team Honda in 1986 where he was virtually unstoppable.
