It’s the biggest book ever written about motocross and it’s now available through We Went Fast.

David Dewhurst’s “Motocross: The Golden Era” is 480 pages and filled with 600 gorgeous images he captured as a photojournalist during a pivotal era of the sport: 1972-1985. It’s a monumental achievement and includes so much more than photographs. The 28 chapters include a deep dive history lesson into the origins of motocross, the birth of supercross and the stories and anecdotes of the men and machines that make this sport so great.

I get it, $150 is a lot to spend on a book about dirt bikes. I can’t stress enough how impressive and high quality this piece of work is. Order one as a gift for someone who loves motocross history. But fair warning: when you see this, you’ll want one for yourself, too.

The photos in the gallery here are of my personal copy, taken by me on my workbench. I wanted you to see how rich and detailed the imagery is.

I feel a connection to this project because I had the pleasure of conversing with Dewhurst during the writing, curation and creation of this book. We Went Fast’s only contribution was lending an ear during the months and years Dewhurst spent working his way through the interviews, the writing and choosing printers and publishers.

When the book became available, I was one of the first to buy a copy. Knowing David, I expected to be impressed. Instead, I was blown away. The weight of the book alone made my eyebrows rise. The photos and stories made the hair on my arms stand up.
