From Menai in New South Wales,  Stephen Gall burst onto the Australian motocross scene in the mid 1970’s.  During the early eighties Gall virtually owned Australian motocross and supercross events – winning the prestigious Mr. Motocross series (Mr. MX) four times, including a hat-trick in 1980-82.

After breaking through to win his first Australian Championship in 1980 at Dargle in New South Wales, Gall went on to win five Australian Championships. This included winning the 250cc class a record four years in succession (1980 -1983).

Gall was also a pioneer in the development of supercross across Australia in the late 1970s, early 1980s, before the Australian Supercross Championships were introduced.  He won the majority of national supercross events and was the main local rider to be competitive up against the visiting American and other international riders.   He also won three Australian Dirt Track Championships during that era.  

Gall’s duals with close friend, team mate and arch-rival Anthony Gunter in the late seventies were epic.  The Gall vs Gunter battles became legendary and the two riders slugged it out in successive rounds of the Mr. MX series as well as the more traditional State and Australian Championship titles. 

In addition to his national motocross titles, Gall won more than 30 State motocross titles then moved on to other sports with success, including winning the 1988 Australian Speedcar Speedway Championship at the Parramatta City Raceway and twice winning the Finke Desert Rally. Gall helped take motocross in Australian to a new professional level both on and off the track. 

Along with early mentor Len Williamson, he started Australia’s effort at the Motocross of Nations World Teams event in 1984, competing in Australia’s very first entry at the Trophee Des Nations in Varberg, Sweden, then later on becoming the Australian team manager from 1985 to 1992.

In 1987 Gall established the “Stephen Gall Academy of Off Road Riding” and has been teaching riding techniques to young riders since then.   For his contribution to motorcycle and motorcar racing, in 2016 Stephen Gall was inducted into the Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame.
