Scott Burnworth: "He was always
the nicest guy and a hero to me growing
up in SD. We lost a true legend, along
with his beautiful wife, Nancy. We are
all deeply saddened and will miss them
greatly."
Johnny Campbell: "Marty inspired
me to ride Hondas from an early age.
I wanted to look and ride like Marty
Smith. He was in a class of his own and
will be sorely missed. My prayers are
with the Smith family."
Jeff Ward: "This is really hard for me
and everyone that knew Marty. I have a
special bond with Marty. As a kid, my
goal was to be the next Marty Smith, he
was a motocross god...I did everything
to look and ride like Marty...RIP Marty
and Nancy."
Pete Fox: "Growing up in a motocross
household, Marty Smith was a
childhood hero...My uncle Bob said that
Marty was the most friendly, nicest,
coolest, most exciting and fun guy to be
with that he knew in all of motocross."
Scot Harden: "Marty Smith was a
champion motocrosser, an icon in the
sport, a legend, and most important
of all, a friend...Like everyone else, I
worshipped Marty as the epitome of
California cool and the baddest 125cc
motocrosser on the planet at the time
when he was the center of the motocross
world...I admire Marty and Nancy more
than anything else for their commitment
to each other...Godspeed Marty and
Nancy!
Ron Lechien: "So devasted...RIP
Marty & Nancy, will always cherish the
fun times we had together."
