I have known 'The Rocket' since 1970 from the old Deadman's Point motocross and hare scrambles days in Apple Valley Calif. Tracks I actually helped construct with a team of high schooler's assisting Bobby Dresslar, Lee Chase and a slew of desert rat dirt bikers who had a dream of being part of the emerging sport - American Motocross.

Week in and week out I had the privilege to witness up close and personal the Rockets formative years of his career sporting tee shirts and lineman's boots on the OSSA Phantom and Stiletto. Then onto the CAN-AM's, MAICO's and my favorite - CZ's. And I have to say without a doubt, Rex Staten's career has been a very unique and memorable journey for all of us, that to be able to assimilate a lot of it in one place on this website is an honor. Thank you Rex for your trust and confidence in my efforts here.
