It sure is a sad day. I was only able to see Doug perform once a long time ago. I remember the day well. I was at the 1987 MotoCross Des Nations at Unadilla. It was raining like hell and the mud was deep when it was announced that Doug would attempt to Wheelie all the way around the track. You could feel the excitement in the air as Doug Wheelied his way around the track. The image of Doug Wheelieing over the edge of Gravity Cavity in the mud will be etched in my mind forever.



God Speed Doug. You will be missed.

I am very saddened by the news that Doug Domokos

is dead. I saw him in 1979 when he came to Australia. The man was incredible, I will keep his

book and every mono from now on will be in

his honour. My deepest sympathies to his family.

The Wheelie King's name is actually DOMOKOS

not Domokas, sorry to be petty, however it

is important i think.
