Anaheim Two Supercross Recap on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

We're four rounds deep into the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross Series and we have an incredible eight - that's right: eight - different overall winners in the 250 and 450 classes! Last weekend's Triple Crown produced some amazing races on a brutal track that challenged riders throughout the day, but at least it wasn't raining, right? This week, we recap everything that we saw, heard, and learned...all in person!

Philipp Klakow of Backyard Design USA on the Midweek Podcast Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

Presented by Yoshimura

Imagine starting a graphics company in a small town in Germany, just to fund your dirt bike habit, and having it blow up into a worldwide success! That's exactly what Philipp Klakow has done with Backyard Design USA. As our favorite graphics company to work with - their designs and quality are second-to-none - we were stoked to see Philipp stateside a few weeks ago as he had planned to race the first couple of Supercross rounds for fun. Sadly, he broke his femur in a crash a few days before Anaheim One, but we can assure you that this injury will not dampen his enthusiasm for the sport.

San Diego Supercross Recap on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

Almost unbelievably, we had another mudder in San Diego. This one was different, though, as riders were still able to jump many of the obstacles, and this made racing super sketchy! We had two more new winners this year, and seeing Aaron Plessinger get his first career win was amazing. We chat about everything we saw and learned...

Past winners include Stylez Robertson, Ryder DiFrancisco, Jett Reynolds, Talon Hawkins, and more! For 2024, the event has been rebranded the Mini Monsters by Seven MX, and is an AMA Major Event, complete with National-Championship Number-One Plates!

San Francisco Supercross Recap on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

Unless you've been in a coma for the past couple of days, you already know that the San Francisco Supercross inside Oracle Stadium was a crazy, messy, quagmire and that the racing - although slow - produced some great results, some bitter disappointments, and some career highs. We had a great time recapping everything that we saw, heard, and learned in NorCal.

Maki Ushiroyama on the Yoshimura Midweek Podcast Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

Presented by Yoshimura

Right after graduating high school, Maki Ushiroyama left his home in Japan and moved to California with the dream of riding dirt bikes and finding a job in the motocross industry. While attending an art school in San Diego, he drove to Troy Lee Designs in Corona, some two hours north, to meet Troy and ask if he could intern at TLD. And with that, as they say, the rest is history. Maki spent 32 years designing helmets, t-shirts, riding gear, race team graphics and transporters, and more, during his time with the legendary brand. Now venturing out on his own with Groove Machine Inc., and independent art agency, Ushiroyama stopped by to reminisce his three-decade history in the sport.

Show notes

Logan Karnow has made quite the name for himself over the past two years, thanks to his results on the track, desire to have fun after the checkered flag, and the sponsors on his motorcycle, including OnlyFans, which linked up with the Ohio privateer in 2023 and renewed their support of Karnow's program for 2024.

With the first gate drop of the year just days away, we grabbed a few minutes to talk about preseason prep in Florida, working with the subscription-based content platform, and what it takes to be a well-known racer in the modern era.

Happy Holidays on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast Dec 18, 2023

Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

We took the Kickstart Podcast on the road this morning and visited our cohost Alex Ray at his place of employment. The O'Neal Racing HQ in Camarillo, California, is a beautiful workplace and home to one of the legacy brands in our sport. We caught up on lots of things in this week's show, but mostly just enjoyed ARay's company, face to face.
