Show notes

The second round of the Monster Energy Supercross Series in Oakland, California, was postponed until February 18 due to heavy rains in Northern California, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't plenty to talk about in today's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast. To start the show off, Carson Mumford called in and told us all about his fill-in ride with the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team, and the steps he took to secure the opportunity. We also cover the ins and outs of the postponed race, the Arenacross many privateers raced instead, and much more!

SX Ops Director Mike Muye Explains Oakland Supercross Postponement Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

The postponement of the 2023 Oakland Supercross is a milestone moment, as no race in the history of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship had been moved from its date due to weather. Heavy, persistent rains have soaked California's Bay Area for nearly three weeks, and with another few inches set to hit the RingCentral Coliseum this weekend, officials decided it was best to run the race to February 18th.

We spoke with Mike Muye, Senior Director of Operations for the series, about the efforts by Feld Motorsports and Dirt Wurx to build the track, working with the stadium to find a replacement date, and what comes next for the series.

Adam Bailey Looks Back On Year One Of World Supercross Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

It's been about a year since I first talked with Adam Bailey about the FIM World Supercross Championship. In the 357 days since, he helped the series launch and run through a pilot tour, moved his family up the coast of Australia, and got promoted to CEO of SX Global.

The twelve months of work and travel gave Bailey a glimpse into the next part of his motocross career.

He knows that directing WSX's plans for the sport will be an ambitious effort, one that'll rely on everything he learned from Australia's small but mighty motocross industry and will take a few years to see through.

But he's ready for it all, motivated by the teams involved and feedback from fans that were in Cardiff and Melbourne.

The House of Bell Podcast Ep1 ft. Colt Nichols Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

Presented by Bell Helmets

Colt Nichols has been putting in tons of work aboard his new Honda HRC CRF450R since signing with the team a couple of months ago, and according to those who have seen him in action, the former 250 Supercross Champion is looking quite comfortable aboard his new red dragon. Nichols has always been a personable, easily approachable personality in the pits, so we thought he'd be a great candidate for the inaugural House of Bell Podcast, presented by Bell Helmets. Listen in for some candid information and news from the Oklahoma native.

Brandon Hartranft on the Yoshimura Midweek Podcast Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

Presented by Yoshimura Racing

Brandon Hartranft's world was turned upside down a few short weeks ago by a freak crash at the Supercross track that left him with a long list of injuries, including several fractures in his back, broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a severe concussion, a dislocated hip, and a broken scapula. The HEP Suzuki racer was in the early laps of a training moto at the team's private testing facility in Northern California when his engine locked up and send him into the ground. Hartranft underwent a lengthy surgery to repair the damage to his body and was eventually transported by private jet to the Casa Colina rehab facility in Pomona, California. While Hartranft's prognosis is very promising, he has a long road to recovery ahead of him. He and his new wife plan to return to his home state of New Jersey once he is released from the rehabilitation facility, and whether or not he returns to racing someday remains to be seen. "For now, I am just so thankful that I have a second chance at life," he told us.

We caught up with Brandon on the phone for this installment of the Yoshimura Midweek Podcast, and were amazed at how upbeat and positive he is...he even had the energy to tell us some funny golf stories!

Road to Recovery has established a fund to help Hartranft, and we encourage you to contribute if you are in a position to.
