Ep. #31: Jeff Ward is Captain America
Earlier this year, for over two hours, I sat at Jeff Ward’s dining room table and listened as he told stories of an era more than three decades behind him; his time as a member of Team USA with the Trophee and Motocross of Nations between 1983 and 1990.
They were mostly stories of winning, but also the suffering, soldiering and salvaging he went through to get those wins.
As he autographed the artwork designed in his honor (available now at shop.wewentfast.com (shop.wewentfast.com) ), the normally quiet Ward spared no details: the passes, the crashes, bad starts, border crossings, travel nightmares, sabotage and peeing in a bag for Ron Lechien (true story).

Ep. #29 James Stewart: The Fastest Man on the Planet Finds Perfection
Просмотров 544 месяца назад
Between 2005 and 2016, James Stewart completed just one full season of Pro Motocross in the 450 class: 2008. And in the days, weeks and months leading into that summer, he was dubious of being able to go the distance. His first three years in the class were disasters: it started with an uncompetitive bike and ended with a knee injury. In between, there was Ricky Carmichael, who refused to be be...

    I’ve been looking for this race for the last 10 years! I watched it on vhs along with other Rick Johnson races like the David Bailey vs Rick Johnson “you can’t touch him with a 20 foot poll” race. I wish someone would post that entire vhs because it was my childhood, I watched it everyday before school back in the early 1990’s.

    I remember going to Indian Dunes in 84 and 85 with my new 84 RM125, and at that time the Shadow Glen track had added a very gnarly triple jump that sadly had paralyzed a few guys. I had also been involved in another tragedy at the trails section there, when a neighborhood acquaintance of mine drove my 82 TT 250 off of a 250' cliff, which unfortunately and savagely took his life, and left a widow and two kids behind.
