==Riding career==
Smith began in competitions as a trials rider, becoming so successful that he was offered a place on the Norton factory team.〔 After moving to BSA, he won the 1953 and 1954 British Trials Championship.〔 BSA asked Smith to compete in motocross racing which he did with such success that he soon began to concentrate on a motocross career.〔 In 1964 at the age of 30 he captured the 500cc Motocross World Championship, defeating the defending champion, Swede Rolf Tibblin〔 and was voted the Motorcycle News 'Man of the Year' award. He successfully defended his crown the following year. His 1965 championship win on the four-stroke engined BSA Victor would be the last victory for this type of motor, as two-stroke engine technology dominated off-road racing for the next several decades. He finally announced his retirement in January 1972.
