A great motocross podcast!

If you are a fan of motocross, and especially moto history, this podcast is a great addition to your lineup. I greatly enjoyed “When we were kings” - the story of Team USA pulling off a miracle win in 1981. Thanks for the great content Brett!

Fantastic short stories of MX’s history.

Really enjoy listening to the great stories and the well presented background. Just finished listening to the James Stewart Larocco’s Leap story and it was excellent! Keep up the great work. How about a story about Bob Hannah and Rodger De Coster at Unadilla in ‘78 or ‘79. You know the smashed pipe one.

Best story teller in Moto!!

We Went Fast and Brett blow my mind with his in depth journalism and sorry telling. I’ve been around motorcycles my entire life. I read and listen to pretty much everything that has to do with motocross and Supercross. Nobody does it like Brett and We Went Fast. We need more!!

Hard not to feel like a little kid at Christmas after listening!!!!!

WeWentFast put out another win with Little Giant! A must listen for anyone who remembers their first dirtbike as a kid . After spending most of my life around PW50s, to hear the backstory and history is just awesome! Keep up the great work

Great storytelling

Truth is I’m not all that into motor sports, but I do love a great story and Brett really knows how to tell a story. Listen and you will come away with an entertaining, in depth picture of these riders. It’s captivating.

Great Stories!

I’ve always thought Brett was a talented writer, but hearing these stories skillfully read in his own voice makes them all the more meaningful to me. Not all authors can do that. Thanks for expanding my world Brett!

Stories Made Real

Love this podcast, I am not the true moto fan, but hearing these stories aloud makes it so much more real and relatable. Brett is the best in the business!

Well-told

You don’t have to understand motocross to appreciate a good, well-told story. This is one of them. Give it a listen!
inspry

Great narrative even for the non-technical listener!

Although I’m not the most technical reader, this was a great example of powerful storytelling, emotion, and industry inner knowledge. Highly recommend for those who know Reed and those who don’t. This really brings you right there to the intensity and drive in Reed.
