What an invite of a family's intimacy all due to a milestone of what We grew-up with, rode, and admired....Thank you to who created this but the Reason is why we are still thinking of .....

I remember back in 77 and 78, if the trans Ama in St Peters Missouri at cycle World, all these guys were there, my eyes are always on Marty Smith cuz I really like the Hondas back then, I think his bike was a RC 250.... Watching all those guys jump that long straightaway jump, it look like all those guys must have flown 100 ft. Wish I had taken pictures

The last day i rode really fast on a motocross track was on Martys track in Mesa, Arizona.October ,2010..I wadded up really hard, shattering my left leg and ankle. I came to with Marty standing over me....Thru all the hospitals and surgeries, Marty would call to see how i was doing. It was my fourth Marty Class, he was truly my friend. My hero, my friend. My heart still hurts.

0:05 the experts

Despain!!

I remember racing at Irwindale CMC Night Motocross, Southern California, during 1976-77. Motocrossers were talking about this guy up north called "Magoo." You could say that Magoo was already a legend, before he became a legend. R.I.P. Danny Chandler.

Oh that's good , good times

I see why Honda moved the kickstarter to the right side. 1. It sucks, 2. You could bump it in gear when starting. 😳😳

Who is he ? Never heard of him

OMG How funny is that. PLease make make a full time movie out of that. Is it RJ in the final seconds? I can´t keep my bally out for laughing..... hahahaha great stufff

He is the reason I’ve always been a Honda guy

Never heard of the guy

He was a hero of mine

I wouldn’t doubt this guy made my GT as a kid.

I'm now age 65, and one who idealized Marty Smith during my high school years from NorCal. I viewed Marty Smith as the Rock Star of Motocross and idealized Marty Smith. Back then in the mid 70's I made a Marty Smith scrapbook from the motocross magazine pages which I still hold today. Currently <5/16/24>, I just found out about this devastating news. I'm saddened to know that Marty Smith is no longer with us, but my memories of Marty Smith will always live on in my life. This video was very insightful. I too would like to send my sincere condolence to the families, and thank them for sharing this video.

was smith one of the first on the mono-shock?. if so, explains why he dominated.

Back when MX was held on MX tracks and went real fast on wrenched bikes with welded frames and clapped out shocks. They say theres no sence living in the past ,I kinda disagree.

The fuel tank on this bike is super rare and worth some good money !

How did they go?

I still loved Suzuki, back then and now! Brad having Simon forks didn't affect Suzuki sales because of Simon's fork negatively. If anything, he helped the sales. We all liked the trick bikes, even if we didn't have the ability to buy some of the parts!! If they cut his pay, he was screwed in my opinion!!

RIP

By far my favorite rider back in the '70's. May he and his wife find everlasting peace!

Classic

I lost my wife then marty smith passed away. I pulled my cr250 out and started riding again it saved my life. Rip marty we love you.

motocross the way it use to be CRAZY! rock on !

God is Great,like Marty and family, families are forever!!! God speed mr.and Mrs.smith till we meet again in heaven! Amen

79 yz250 my dream bike almost finished

thats a real motocross natural Terran track, not the custom made roller coaster slick smooth tracks we have today that i never bother watching , the 70s and 80s had the largest biggest crowds at MX events, now its just crap big jumps, roller coaster style tracks, best track was namuar mx gp track through a Forrest , it was awesome

I used to race at Amherst Meadowlarks, don't forget Dane and Teddy Leimbach, the Penton family, wow what history

Sure makes.me.proud of being from Idaho. I am truly lucky to be in the hills in less than 20 minutes from downtown.

good one

So glad I got to race in the "good old days" 1971 to 1981.

He was the MAN!

6 petal reed block welded on a 4 petal YZ125 barrel, shinobi head, most beautiful tunnel porting.

I had the great pleasure to know this man, and hear these stories and many others in person. They are almost verbatim here. Also know Molly slightly, but worked for a few years with his ... wife?... girlfriend?... can't remember which - Irma.

Back in 72 and 73, the first Cycle Sport on Marty Smith, I wore that issue out! That was a tragedy but there's a silver lining, Marty and his wife left a big F Legacy!

Very smart to use products right off the shelf that ALL teams have access to, but not smart enough to use them. I could only guess that the other race teams that weren’t smart enough to use the “Hooker” went crying to the AMA about an unfair advantage.

Nancy is my cousin - 3 and 3/4 years later - i still can’t wrap my head around this …… this is a beautiful tribute to both Marty and Nancy - my heartfelt thanks to everyone who put this together ….. 🙏🏻♥️✌🏼

Today is your birthday Marty Smith on this day 11/26/2023. Happy Birthday Champ! Godspeed & RIP Marty & Nancy Smith! 💥🙏✊😇👍🙏💥

I saw part of the Documentary on Cable recently .. Wondering how I can get a copy of the whole Video ?

One of the greatest riders of all time😊😊

brad lackey please do a video on your dealership on university east bay cz

Jesus said this is the will of my father that whoever beholds the son and believes in him will have everlasting life and I myself will raise him up on that last day John 6:40

You can really see how much someone is loved when you hear the voices and see the eyes and the faces of those who remember them... 💔

Anyone remember Jerry Williams?? Damn he was good!!

I was 13 years old and worked for years at a Yamaha dealer but Rodger was my hero, Rodger decoster for president of the United States he would save the world

Soul mates. If the term is applicable to any two people, it has to be Nancy and Marty; lived together, died together, and will be together for eternity

Just a great video !

What a great video !

Legend....had his poster on the bedroom wall in the 70s.🦘🇦🇺
