RIP Rick...Super Hunky
Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 8:56AM One of the great influencers of dirt biking has left us. Like many of us I enjoyed Super Hunky's stories.

"Very sorry to hear of the passing of Rick “Super Hunky” Sieman, the original editor of Dirt Bike Magazine and a very good friend of my parents. Rick put the Blackwater 100 on the map by flying out from California every summer to take on the original @gncc_racing event and then writing hilarious articles about his misadventures with the “Mud Fleas,” my dad and just West Virginia in general. He was a mentor to me as well and I am sure he was a huge influence in my future life in the media business. He was a tireless proponent for motorcycling and belongs in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Thank you for everything"

Super Hunky was a larger than live personality. As a teenager I remember him at Indian Dunes joking around with his friends and just seemed to always have fun. I have a great memory of him holding court after the 1981 Supercross at the after-race Suzuki reception. He projected a great gonzo journalist image we all loved. He also put himself in harm’s way standing up to the BLM and Sierra Club to help protect our freedoms. I will miss reading his columns.
