I have had the pleasure of meeting Broc a few times over the years at different races, but this year he really reminded me of why he is such a great guy. I took my 12 year old son with me this year to his first outdoor national (and to help pit for me during the amateur races on Friday). We took a walk to vendor island to get stickers, etc. and my son grabbed a free Pirelli hat since he had left his at home. We got back to our camper and Broc was there at the edge of the track watching the pros practice. I went up to him to ask for a picture with my son and he gladly obliged, making a gaff at the Pirelli hat. I told him it was free and I didn't see a Dunlop tent since this was a Pirelli sponsored event. He said "well let me take care of that for you." He chatted with me for almost 20 minutes or so, then walked back to the pits.
About an hour later, here he comes back to the camper with a Dunlop hat to give to my son and said, "Here you go. I also got Eli Tomac, Marvin Musquin, Blake Bagget and Zach Osborne to sign it for you." I asked him would be do the honors of signing his name on it too, which he did. Such an incredible guy who went way out of his way and made a memory for my son which he will never forget.
Thanks Broc!

I bumped into Broc at Hangtown two years ago and he was such a nice guy and took the time to chat a bit even though he was super busy at the Dunlop truck.
Anybody that saw him battle bailey while riding the heavy and slower Yamaha knows he was truly a skilled racer.
It is awesome 5hat he has remained involved in the sport for all these years.

I'm a bigger fan of his since I watched Winners Take All a few years ago finally. He played "Carl" haha
Props to you Broc for being the example the other "hero's" can strive to be like.
P.S. hey Broc ! one of my best moto friends is named after you. Keep it real.

I sent you a PM.
Cool post OP!
nice to read something other than a complaint!!!
just to bring the hat is way cool but to get the signatures is over and above...
I absolutely loved reading this story about Broc's gift to your son!
Learned some more about him too in this RacerX article.
