00:00What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word supercross?

00:17For you, we will give you more time.
00:19Rapid fire, rapid fire, itana.
00:21Rapid come look, we'll just pull this down a little.
00:23But yes, when you hear supercross, what is the first word that comes to your mind?
00:27Superhero.
00:28Sorry?
00:29Superhero.
00:30Superhero.
00:31Superhero.
00:32Okay.
00:32Now, my next question is that in the 80s and the 90s, like, did you ever get a chance to see a supercross race like that?
00:39Yes, I did.
00:39In fact, I rode a cycle all the way from Mumbai to Pune with friends of mine who is still a very dear friend of mine.
00:50His name is Jaggi.
00:50So, on the Khandala Ghat, he held my hand and I was riding behind and they were in a jeep.
01:01It was a Mahindra Mahindra jeep.
01:03There, another friend of ours, Nicky, his father used to own an agency.
01:07Now, these boys were slightly older than I was.
01:10So, I was still on the cycles and they had just gone into cars and bikes and all that stuff.
01:14So, he held my hand, the whole Khandala, what was that?
01:20And then, that national, what was that?
01:23Khandala?
01:25Kurana Wala?
01:26Ghatin.
01:27Yeah, that.
01:28And then, so we went and watched this league in Pune.
01:33That was in Pune.
01:33Right.
01:33Yeah, I think some international supercross, I worked on that.
01:38So, uske baad, we were supercross ke baad, jab, they used to make me do wheelies and stoppies and all that stuff,
01:48jo ke meri cycle thai, meri paas, karta tha.
01:50So, they used to gather crowd by me doing all these things.
01:55And I was very young.
01:57So, they used to, that's how they got their friends and their women and all that.
02:02Yeah, yeah, of course, of course.
02:06Tum karo bhaif, mahinat.
02:10Right, but, you know, when you saw it for the first time, what was your reaction like?
02:14What was the experience like?
02:15It was amazing.
02:16I mean, the way these guys rode was fantastic and I, and I saw these two international guys riding.
02:23And, we were not classed.
02:27No classed.
02:27Inho ne shuru kiya hai, or inho ne khatam bhi kardia hai.
02:33Means, they were doing, I mean, their wheels were not on the ground only.
02:38They were just in the air.
02:41And our guys were like, that way.
02:44So, there was a huge difference at that point of time.
02:50Because infrastructure nahi ta ha maare paas.
02:52Now, Dishan and Veer have got all the infrastructure.
02:57All the bikes are there.
02:59You know, trainers are there.
03:01These guys themselves are fantastic.
