This is part 3, the final installment of a series with Marty Smith. These interviews were done by David Dewhurst for his book, “Motocross: The Golden Era”, which is available at shop.wewentfast.com and ships free to customers in the United States.
Part 3 covers the end of Marty's racing career and his thoughts on the future.
This interview series was done at Marty's house just two weeks before he and his wife died in a dune buggy accident at the Glamis Sand Dunes
Among other accolades, Marty was 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 a 480-page coffee table book 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.
