Our favortie Aussie outside of Jeff Leisk gives us a look at an oldie but a goodie.

Konnichiwa Pulp Fans. This weeks PulpMX Podcast Rewind is with an absolute legend of our sport. He never won a supercross championship, main event or heat race yet is as much a part of the sport of Supercross as Wardy, Lechien, Bailey or Hannah. If you are a fan of 1980's SX like myself then I am sure you are aware of Larry "Supermouth" Huffman. 

Larry was the voice of Supercross from the first ever Superbowl of Motocross in the early 70's right through to 1988. His tenure ended with the unfortunate demise of then promoter Mickey Thompson and the aftermath of that he tells in this podcast. These days you've got the play by play guy (a la Jason "I am Freestone" Weigandt) and the color guy (Jeff Emig). Back then Larry was everything. Play by play, color guy and live announcer. His ability to hype up a crowd was second to none which Matthes and Larry cover when they reminisce about Huffmans' trips to Canada. This is another really interesting podcast from the archives of a guy who really was a game changer in the sport of Supercross. 

If you would like to see some of Larry's work outside of Supercross click on the link below. WARNING it contains Weiners and copious amounts of beer and is especially for one @CLMoser.
