Des Nations 2018 (Training Prep.)
Heard I got invited to the Redbud Des Nations 2018... I started to train but I found out it was just for the dinner. Haven’t rode in 2 years, felt good to get back on the bike.

My first and only win with Chip Ganassi Racing. Glad I was able to grab a win before ending my Indy Car Career.

Went out to Auto Club Speedway to drive go-karts with Brian Deegan and Hailie Deegan, while captured on my GoPro.
Man, the memories of watching you, Hurricane, Barnett, and the rest, are the best. Thank You
I remember despising Jeff Ward, because he didn't ride a Honda, and most of all, he was Rick Johnson's nemesis...I look back now at great videos like this, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for him. What a great competitor...if RJ says there were times when he couldn't touch you on a motocross track, you're pretty damn fast...glad to have lived during an era where you could despise a person for no other reason than he raced against your hero, but still have the utmost respect for him...Jeff Ward, one of the GOAT's...
Was racing and watching you Jeff during the mid and late 80s Jeff. You were The quintessential professional during those years. Ron was fast as was Ricky but you defined what a true professional was.
Honda, Sinsalo, and Kawi owe this guy a lot of coin.
I'm sure Kawasaki and Sinisalo rewarded him adequately for his troubles...Honda probably paid him to retire...
The Ricky Johnson - Jeff Ward battles were all the inspiration every 80’s kid that cared about motorcycles at all ever needed
it was an honor to meet,film you at belgium superbiker mettet in 2011.
Listen to Jeff talk with David Pingree on the Whiskey Throttle Podcast. O-M-G. What a motorsports career.
Love Wardy, but I'd give that title to Travis
Pastrana is a great racer, to be sure, but he has a long way to go before he and Jeff Ward are mentioned in the same breath...
@@jeremyelford7926 Not greatest, the "most versatile"
Jeff Ward is a great racer. And speaking of versatile i was at Mammoth mountain for a mountain bike race years ago probably around 1998 and there's Jeff Ward in the pits sponsored by Yetti racing DH . I thought that was pretty cool
You are 100% the goat I’ve been following your RACING for years nobody better, Mr. Ward. You’re an amazing athlete.
No mention of the SuperBikers ?
I was at the Dayton Motorcycle Club Ward was there on the KX500 it was 1987 Ward turned 2 of our doubles into a QUAD I still cant believe they did that Jeff do you remember what you said to me?
Nice, still got it, it never goes away !!!!!
Cannot believe he's scottish, Glasgow nae less.
Southwick 88 I was there went to the pits in between Moto's and got a rear tire right off his bike, while he was getting plaster of Paris poured into his boot. The guy is a LEGEND. Bonus got to sit on the kx500 man did I want to take that bike for a rip. Great weekend and better times.
so sad about bailey this stuff should not happen to such good people
ward and RC were like the same size those short guys were giants on the track!!
"Wardy" owns a record no one will ever break..only mx pro to win 125 title, 250 title. And 500 title...
I use to see him at irwindale raceway in 1975 1976 in the mini expert class wow was he good
My best friend used to race for FMF And raced Ward all the time at Carlsbad and saddleback in the 1980s ....Jeff was a spoiled little FKr. My friend would beat him all the time...Suzuki #72 Tommy Higgins
I met Jeff a few years ago at a SoCal mountain bike race, where I was providing emergency medical support. Nice guy.
the green machines never owned one but loved to watch them up front
lascialo dire agli altri caso mai
Saw him race many times in the 80s . One of the best memories was the MXDN in 87 at Unadilla in the 2 foot MUD race. KX500 starting in back row. No goggles by the end but gets 3rd in both motos and USA won again.
XR 75 was my first bike . Man I loved riding it. Had no idea that was Jeff at the beginning of On Any Sunday. Still my all time favorite movie !! This brought back some great memories, growing up in Southern California. in the 70,s and 80's. Watching Ward race , or heading to Indian Dunes. Great times.
TX mx'ers had to beat the California guys to win Nationals & supercross races. 70's and 80's were a great time to be alive and an be a motorcross racer. Ward was a top shelf racer. K. Howerton and S. Stackable were OUR heroes back in Tx back then.
Thanks Jeff! That was fun!!!
so much i learned wow man ur a legend that heart ...js7 has always been my fav but ive been watching old races of you
The man, the myth, the legend
Growing up and racing some of the same SoCal tracks with him, during the BEST of times for US MX, Jeff will alway's be the Man!
The flying freckle, jeff was my hero when i was teen. Small like me but he defined fast and professional. The fact he rode kawasaki did not hurt as i lived my kx 125 and ninja 600
I got mini cycle magazine as a young kid born in 65 watching Jeff thinking I could do that 😂never made it to his level. He was definitely a winner to set your goals on. Thanks for the look back.
Jeff Ward is 6 yrs older than me and always been someone I admired. Remember that first clip of him in “on any Sunday” doing a wheelie on that xr50 at 7 yrs old? F’n awesome!
Hello, Jeff, i am Stan Hayes i raced with you during the 1978 Talladega nationals in Talladega Alabama wondering if you could help me find the mini cycle book had our pictures in it lost my in a tornado would appreciate your help with this. thank you, Stan, Hayes
Wardy was my idol. Had a KD80, then an 84 KX80. The Kawis ruled. All my buddy's had Yz's. They couldn't touch me. 😉
I watched him on mini bikes minibik
Jeff was an inspiration for me when I was a kid racing MX. I was a small yet strong kid as well and would worry that I might not ever be big enough to throw the big bikes around.
Jeff showed true control of kx 500 was not muscle but throttle control, let the power do the work.
I went to school with Jeff at Mission Viejo High School. I remember having a P.E class with him. Greg Louganis was also in that class (no jokes please). I raced motocross as well at Saddleback Park. I wanted to go pro, but I had no support of any kind from my parents like so many other kids at Saddleback park did. I would show up at Saddleback with my broke down 1968 C20 Suburban, and an off the showroom lightly modified Suzuki RM, bologna sandwich, and a jug of water. While all the other kids like Jeff had a motorhome with an awning for shade, and BBQ steaks for lunch. I remember when Jeff got that factory ride from Kawasaki, and he went blowing by me at Saddleback Park with his factory works Kawasaki one day while I was on my stock Suzuki RM 125 like I was standing still, and I had that Suzuki RM going as fast as it could go without breaking the frame.
Considering box vans were what the factory teams used at the nationals and supercross back then, I highly doubt Jeff had a motorhome as an Amateur... Amateur racing wasn't anything like it is today, neither were the expenses or after market parts world. His Amateur bikes were more than likely stock, maybe a pipe and slip on. Support as a factories main Amateur meant so many bikes a season and a parts budget, which usually were OEM parts. It's not like he was riding a Suzuki RM WORKS bike as a kid... he grew up on Honda and then Suzuki, so it wasn't Ward out there as a kid... How could he pass you on a WORKS kawasaki when in the late 60's, when he didn't sign with kawasaki until 1981....?
@@yamahakid450f I do not think you read my post correctly. My Chevy Suburban I hauled my bike in was a 1968 C20. I was not saying anything took place in 1968. Jeff's dad had a motorhome that Jeff operated out of in about 1979 and 1980. Jeff was with the Yamaha R&D team back then in 1979 to 1980. When he blew me away on my slightly modified show room floor 1981 Suzuki RM 125 (purchased from Saddleback Suzuki dealership) was on his Kawasaki factory ride in 1981.
Bad ass is all I can say about him. I'm also kinda glad I never had to race him but how fun it would have been.
There was no better racing than going up against an equally fast rider, coming back to the pits with the ends of your grips ripped off from bar-to-bar contact.
In the early 70s I went to a new MX track. My 250 buddy was there with his kid who was riding his new XR75. The kid said Ted follow me, I’ll show you the track. It took me two laps to get around the little guy! Minis were faster than most people realized!
9:03 Not a big guy but Ward was in shape
My 3 favorite riders from that era: Jeff Ward, David Bailey, and Danny "Magoo" Chandler!
Don't forget Ron Lechien ☝️
6 million dollar man
Hell Yeah the good Ole daze 🥴 👍
Also Classic story about Blowing up XR75’s by trying to Nitrous the Motors to the Moon !! 😂😂😂
That was a Perfect Cover all real Quick Documentary to watch a Racing Legend I know , and was Lucky enough to say I Raced with in AMA Super Moto premier class , also along with his Son Brandon once at Jack Murphy Stadium , just to be in the Guys presence you could just tell He is an elite human sort of speak !! The Man is A phenomenal individual , and athlete I can’t say enough about the greatness of Wardy as a TRUE RACER TO THE CORE !!!
I'm the same age as Jeff got into the sport at age sixteen learned about Jeff early on and with a huge fan I bought K x's because of him Met him at a few races he was definitely pleasant to meet
I met Jeff when he attended the Bondurant Driving school at Sears point. He was the nicest guy. He always welcomed me at the races during his reign at the top of the MX hierarchy. He was also one of the best drivers to ever attend the driving school. Of course, we all saw that with his indycar career. Class act, good person, incredible talent.
You gave light to all of of us growing up. It was absolute poetry watching you race your KX 500. You are a true legend!
