He was truly amazing to watch. I was at Kirkwood years ago going to give it a shot a hillclimbing. I was a amatuer but had to race in his class. We were setting in the pits waiting to race and somebody wanted to interview him. His sled was the wrong direction so Dave and somebody else just picked up the sled and turn it around. They picked it up like it was a toy. I talked to him acouple of times and he was always nice to talk to.

Nice tribute! It is true bout those ole triples, a good tuned one was music to your ears. They have really had to change the course from those days to accomodate the new eqpt.
Thank you Toby. I met your Dad in 1990 at his shop in Jackson,Montana.I was elk hunting at the time around there and we became freinds, and stayed in touch along with seeing him a couple times a year. The first time that I watched him climb Jackson Hole I truly realized that he was in a league of his own.He was a great man and I miss him to this day. When things would get a little tough in life he would always tell me to keep my head up. He always made my life more positive. Thanks again.
Oh wow...I wondered when I saw your username if you were related to Dave Shepherd. COOL.
Fantastic vid.
We've stopped at Shepherd's Garage in Jackson before...our buddy had an XLT burndown back in 98 or so. They fixed it that weekend and got us back up to the Grasshopper where we were staying. GREAT guys. I was REALLY saddened when I got the news of his death.
I love that vid...back in the days of the "open" chassis.
This isn't David...but it's old school...and back in the good ole days....

That's a great tribute, and a great memory. Makes me think of all the guys that I thought were just gods. Way sweet to see those bare boned buckets of bolts screamin up the hill. THANK YOU

I only made it to the World Championship Hill Climbs one year. It just happened to be Dave's last one before retirement. It was great to see him race. It was worth the trip. Great Guy. Great Racer.

Great video!
I watched this Tribute and read some of the articles written about him. Sounds like he was a hell of a guy and one fine rider. Thanks for sharing.
