Description

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), 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).
