Marty Smith’s Last Interview: Part 1
By
This bonus episode of the We Went Fast podcast is Marty Smith’s last interview: Part 1.
David Dewhurst did this interview at Marty’s house just two weeks before he and his wife died in a dune buggy accident at the Glamis Sand Dunes
The interview was for research in the making of “Motocross: The Golden Era”, a book now available at shop.wewentfast.com. It ships free to customers in the United States.
Among many other accolades, Marty was the first ever 125MX Pro Motocross Champion, a title he won in 1974 and repeated in 1975. He was also considered the first superstar of American Motocross.
Chapter nine of “Motocross: The Golden Era is dedicated to Smith”. The book is 480-pages and filled with 600 gorgeous images he captured as a photojournalist during a pivotal era of the sport: 1972-1985.
I can’t stress enough what a masterpiece this book is and Dewhurst’s photographic talent shines within it. Check it out at shop.wewentfast.com.
