Wally Levy 

Livin’ Large

Wally Levy comes from the consummate motocross family. His father, Walter Levy, promoted races in BC’s lower mainland for 22 years at Little Rock Raceway. Wally has two brothers, Henry and Bob, who both raced before him. His sisters, Betty and Annie, were fixtures at the BC races and lap-scored at Little Rock. From a young age, Wally was destined to live a motorcycle lifestyle.

Wally’s first race was in 1972 when he was 15 years old, and he lost no time working his way into the expert class and BC championship wins in 1976 and 1977. I first met Wally when we worked together for a summer at MotoPark back in 1983.

That era was at the tail end of Wally’s career as a racer; with his wife Cheryl expecting their first child, Wally had set his sights on working in the powersports industry and providing for his new family. But before that, in 1979 I had first seen Wally when he turned up at the Senior national race in Austin, Manitoba driving a Dodge van with two bikes and a head full of confidence. He wheeled into the track just as the support expert class practice started and threw open the doors to his van, unloaded his Kawasakis, signed in on the way to the line, kicked everyone’s ass, took home all the money and moved on to the next event. I thought, “Wow, that’s how the pros do it. “

Motivated by Ontario’s Jay Kimber’s success on works Kawasakis, Levy moved to Team Green in 1978. His best year in the Canadian National Motocross Championship series was in 1979, when he finished third in the support class at the 500cc Motocross Grand Prix held at Mosport Park, and earned the national No. 7 for the season. Wally signed his first factory contract with Manley Kawasaki for the 1980 season as Ross Pederson’s teammate, and continued his racing success, earning the national No. 11 in 1980 and No. 10 in 1981.

In 1982, Levy rode Maicos for Rick Sheren’s R & M Motorsports team alongside Stan Currington, again finishing in the top ten in the Canadian National Motocross Championship. Wally and Cheryl moved to Ontario to live and work at MotoPark for the 1983 and 1984 seasons; Wally taught riding schools and rode Yamahas for the MotoPark team.

Wally’s racing career waned yet he stayed in the powersports industry with stints at Parts Canada and Action Accessories as a sales representative, eventually becoming a dealership owner. He also spent nine years working with the Future West organization and the Arenacross series, a job that evolved into travelling to the UK to announce at indoor races on the other side of the Atlantic. Levy remembers the era with a sense of pride: “I met a lot of big-name international riders such as Jeremy McGrath, Stephan Everts, Larry Ward and Damon Bradshaw. ” As race announcer Wally took over after other announcers were making less-than-flattering comments about riders. “I felt so strongly about making every rider feel like a hero, ” he said. “Riders can hear you when they are riding, so I took over the announcing and made it my mission in life to promote and encourage young riders. “

Not everyone knows this fact but Wally is ever the entertainer. He is an accomplished musician, and credits meeting a number of good friends such as Blackfoot Motosports owner Doug MacRae and Triumph Canada’s Chris Ellis through motorcycles, then cementing the friendships with music.

When asked about the current state of motocross, Levy was less opinionated: “Obviously the Canadian riders are excellent, the camaraderie appears to still be in place; it is good to see riders such as Dylan Delaplace and Kyle Springman traveling together, they will make friendships that will last their lifetime. “

Levy says motocross racing contributed vastly to his many lifelong friendships and lasting memories. “We thought nothing of driving 24 hours to Regina to race, we lived in our vans for months on end. We bonded like brothers in arms from that experience, ” says Wally. Fondly, he remembers the life lessons only racing can teach, and the little pieces of advice he is left with after being taught by the wiser. His friend Bill Fullerton is known is a detail guy; “Everything has its place and things need to be done right, ” is Bill’s Mantra. “To this day every morning when I close up a cereal box I remember Bill saying, ‘Do things right, the box should be closed the right way. ‘

“These days, we relive our moto-history via Facebook and we meet at events to reminisce with old friends, ” continues Levy. “I am still in touch with guys such as Stan Currington, Jay Kimber, Kevin Ferguson, Larry MacKenzie and Jari Heinonen. Every year we meet up at the Kamloops national and sit around the fire with guitars, it is one of the best feelings in the world, ” adds Wally fondly with a hint of emotion in his voice.

Wally Levy is one of the genuine leading players in Canadian motocross who made the sport better for the riders who came in later. These days, Wally spends his time with his family and his passion, a successful vintage motorcycle meet called Vintage in the Valley where thousands of visitors feast their eyes on some of the nicest old motorcycles in existence.

  3. Some things just go together – bread and butter, mac’ and cheese,
    Australia and online casinos…? There are a few additional
    casino bonuses you can come across when gambling online.

    Here’s a brief overview of the offers to look out for when you
    play for real money. So, why go through all that hassle when you can get the
    best real money casinos on a silver platter? It’s evident how
    players increasingly prefer to enjoy casino games
    from their portable devices.
    These sites also use top-notch software providers offering games with amazing graphics and
    clean sound. When you play at the casinos we recommend, you’ll
    find plenty of pokies with a high return to player percentage, little to no wagering requirements, as well as fast payouts.
    The software providers behind an online casino form the backbone of your gaming experience.
    Neospin is the best online casino Australia has to offer
    right now.
    Not every casino site loads perfectly in Australia, especially offshore ones.
    The only catch is that most sites won’t let you withdraw back to PayID, so
    you’ll need a backup option like crypto or bank transfer
    for cashing out. It’s one of the fastest ways to move AUD
    into your casino account, and it usually lands instantly. Instead of typing in long bank details, you just
    send money using your email or mobile number, simple as that.
    Some sites take Skrill but not Neteller, others the opposite.

    These wallets make it easy to deposit and get paid quickly, usually within a day or even sooner.

  11. By December 2016, the platform had about 30 million monthly active users, a number that
    had increased to 90 million by April 2019. From 2013 to 2014, Roblox released several updates to
    their development tools, adding new features. A version of Roblox
    for Xbox One was announced in September 2015 and released on November 20.
    After completing development on the iOS version, Roblox began looking into releasing a version for
    Android devices, as well as video game consoles.
    Additionally, in 2019, Roblox released Roblox Premium, which replaced its previous
    Builders Club memberships. In April 2016, Roblox became available
    for Oculus Rift, alongside a variety of quality-of-life features made specifically for that platform.
    In August 2019, Roblox began allowing select users to upload their own accessories,
    a service that was later expanded to include various other types of accessories.
    The platform’s growth was further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in 2020,
    where lockdowns led tens of millions of children to
    use Roblox as a means of communication. This also came with a feature called Smooth Terrain, which increased the graphic fidelity of in-game terrain.
    Some found that the platform made it very easy to purchase microtransactions, leading to numerous instances
    where children have spent large sums of money on the platform without parents’ knowledge.
    Roblox’s business model has also been criticized, with
    the platform being accused of featuring exploitative practices that target children; Professor Jane Juffer at Cornell University accused Roblox of encouraging consumerism in children.
    In August 2025, Roblox sent a cease and desist to
    a YouTuber alleging that he had been involved
    with vigilantism, leading to widespread criticism towards the company.
