2021/06/10

There are so many races going on that involve motorcycles. One that I think is overlooked too often is Arenacross. Arenacross is like a mini Supercross and some say it is the precursor to Supercross. But today's guest is quite familiar with the Arena and today shares his story of how he got started.Skyler has been riding for so long, he has forgotten most of his early years of riding. He may or may not have hit his head enough times to have those memories sort of disappear as well. However, you

Broc Urban Supercross Mechanic

2021/06/03

There are so many different ways to work within Supercross. I do not believe though that a majority are spoken of or are overlooked. In fact, one of the jobs within Supercross is being a mechanic, something that many pass up when they put time with their family in front of a busy race schedule 6 months out of the year. Yet there are those that are able to manage it and hats off to those men and women that do it and do it well.Today's guest started out as a mechanic but is now in a different

Today's guest is a very unique and special guest. If I had to guess, I would say he is 1 out of less than 100 unique individuals that have ridden ATV's in a Monster Truck Show. Buddy comes to us from Kansas and shares his unique experiences riding his ATV near home and also dabbling into some other areas beyond motocross.This episode shows that you don't always end up where you expect.

2021/05/06

You should never judge a book by its cover. That is what we are told. Nate is an absolute great person and the reason why you should get to know a person before you judge them! Stunt bike riding has been around for decades. It started with an idea but can be traced back to some very famous people showed the world what was possible with a bike.

2021/04/08

When you first hear a name that is unfamiliar in the industry, you don't think much of it and quickly forget about it. However, when you hear that name over and over, year after year, it begins to stick out and you wonder "Where did this person come from??"This is exactly how I felt about Cody Matechuk. Now a big name in the Snow Bikecross taking 3 Gold Medals and 1 Bronze Medal in the Winter X-Games. Though this seems that Cody came out of nowhere which is some what true, Cody has a

Have you ever been frustrated when you have to take your glove off while out riding, especially when you are wanting to record your best friend hitting the perfect line then bail into the trees, but you couldn't because you that frozen zipper would not open fast enough, and now you are stuck with just a memory?

Keith breaks down the reasons why he lives in a small town nestled between mountains that are close enough to ride daily. With his family he enjoys the simple things of life like a large property to ride around with his girls and again the close proximity of the mountains. Snowmobiles are not cheap and need to

When I sat down with JT, I had no idea what it meant to be a brand ambassador. Honestly I thought it was a fancy name for sponsorship. However it is more than just being sponsored.
