Sweeney- “Hi Everyone, as we’re well into the start of the 2014 Supercross season, and of course, the Monster/Redbull/RCH racing girls that go along with it I thought we’d step into the photo time machine and visit 1991, give you a look at Miss Camel, Paige Thomas and Miss Coors Light, Jill Thompson.
Some great 90’s fashion going on here, high wasted pants, big hair, Paige’s Camel moto outfit was great!
Also, the two title sponsors they represent, pretty funny to think about, Camel Cigarettes, and Coors Light beer. I say it’s “funny” because our Congress is currently looking at the marketing efforts of energy drink companies and taking exception to them being directed at youth. Should they pass something it could drastically effect Motocross/Supercoss down the road. So, it’s funny that Congress had no issue with the ciggy and beer companies, and only now take exception?
Anyways, going back to the photos, these were taken at the Meadowlands Supercoss, the car photo was shot just before the start of moto 1, on the left you can see Jeremy Buehl going over last minute plans with his mechanic prior to the start and a couple of riders lined up on the gate. How awesome is that Isuzu Amigo? Just pop the top and party man!
Jill and Paige were awesome girls, super friendly and fun, I always enjoyed seeing them and talking to them at the SX races I shot, they paved the way for today’s Monster Girls and in my opinion did a hell of a good job at it.
Definitely a great era for Supercross.”
