4/23/2026 7:51am Mumbles! Thank you so much. I'll consider adding a re-up for the Wardy Wheelie in our spring lineup. For those wondering, here are the On Any Sunday products we have at the moment. New stuff coming soon. Maybe, ha ha. Racing season has us wide open right now.

4/20/2026 8:18am The important thing is that you watched it, even if it took you a few extra years. Thank you for being a part of the family!

4/16/2026 10:55am Wow, this post was brought to my attention today. Thank you all for the kind words. We love moto nostalgia. Speaking of "On Any Sunday"... 55 years this summer! New designs in the works!

7/31/2024 8:48pm Hey, all! I refreshed the article about the boys, The Darkest Day in Motocross. We Went Fast went through a massive website overhaul and migration almost a year ago and older posts are a bit of a mess. This one is all fixed up now. Please share with a friend and keep their memories alive.

8/1/2022 6:33am It's with a heavy heart that we observe August 1 and the haunting memories the date brings. Forty years ago today the motocross world lost 3 future champions and the Bunch, Hemme and Fleming families each lost a child. We Went Fast has reprinted "The Darkest Day in Motocross", which, in 2017 appeared in the journal formerly known as META...
Brett Smith - We Went Fast Added a reply to Motocross Autobiography?
6/16/2022 7:14am I sell a neat book at wewentfast.com/shop that's about the 1972 World Motocross Season. I see you're in New Zealand so it would cost a lot to send down there but I've definitely sent quite a few copies to Australia. If anything, you'd probably enjoy the story behind the man who wrote the book (also available as a podcast, search...
Brett Smith - We Went Fast Started a new thread The Darkest Day in Motocross: August 1, 1982
1/22/2022 1:36pm Hi, all, The idea for this story was brought to me by Jason Assad and once I dug into it, I could tell it was one that people wanted to know more about. For many people, the deaths of Bruce Bunch, Kyle Fleming and Rick Hemme is still a very fresh memory, 35 years later. The photo here is the...

1/14/2022 8:10am Hey! Yup, that's me. I do everything from write the stories to fold the shirts. You must have a rad wife who knows exactly what you like/want. That's awesome, thank you. Search "We Went Fast" in your podcast player and you'll find it. There are 16 shows total so far. It's me reading the articles so you don't sit and...

1/14/2022 6:58am Hey, Cygrace74, I wrote the article. I probably went on the DMXS show with Kevin Kelly and David Izer. Summer os 2017 if I remember correctly. I'm going to re-release that article this summer to observe 40 years since the tragedy. It'll be available at wewentfast.com and read as a story on my podcast channel. Probably come out in July...

Brett Smith - We Went Fast Added a reply to VOTE LECHIEN!
7/26/2019 10:30am Not so much a matter of being held down. The flat track fans seem to have a greater presence among the lifetime members. Motocrossers (like me, for example) let their memberships lapse when we took breaks from racing for college, etc. Ronnie has been so close and it became apparent that not all lifetime members realized they had the option...
Brett Smith - We Went Fast Started a new thread Vote Ron Lechien for Motorcycle Hall of Fame
7/1/2019 4:41pm I wanted to join the bandwagon that Steve Matthes got rolling a couple of years ago when he started a campaign to get Ron Lechien into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. I have a soft spot for museums/history, etc. so this stuff is dear to me. So I wrote an article for We Went Fast to separate what people...

Brett Smith - We Went Fast Added a reply to We Went Fast: Austin Forkner Story
2/17/2019 6:26pm Thanks, Bob and shuggs. The details of individual races such as the Monster Energy Cup got left on the edit room floor. It's easy to go into the weeds of talking about this race and then that race, etc. etc. When writing, finding that balance between not enough, too much and just right is so tough. Maybe this is why...

2/17/2019 6:13pm Wow. Thank you, Premix for shining light on the project. I really appreciate this. And thank you everyone for taking the time to read the article. Every story I write comes to me in a different way. The angle of this one was completely unexpected. I got introduced to the Forkner Family through a friend and the story developed through...
Brett Smith - We Went Fast Started a new thread The Nac Nac at 25
1/5/2019 2:41pm Hi, all! I know the chatter is all about the Anaheim Supercross but 25 years ago the SX opener happened in Orlando and some washed up BMX racer named Jeremy McGrath broguht his shenanigans to the Citrus Bowl. Nothing was ever the same. I wrote about the history of the nac nac at my little website, We Went Fast. [url=https://www.wewentfast.com/2019/01/04/a-nac-for-style-the-nac-nac-at-25…...
