Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

Is it just us, or is the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast getting more and more fun with no pro racing to talk about? We're deep into the off-season and the SML crew covers a ton of things in today's show. swap and Chase spent Monday and Tuesday at the Baker's Factory in Florida, so that's why this week's pod is a Wednesday edition. We talk about what we saw there, plus cover the exciting - and gruesome - happenings at last weekend's Swapmoto Race Series season at Glen Helen, riding the new Gas Gas motorcycles, and dissect the good and bad about the new 2021 Monster Energy Supercross schedule. Enjoy!

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing

It's been a minute since we caught up with our friend Zach Osborne. We phoned him up early this Saturday morning to recap the emotions of wrapping up his first 450 championship and talk about the upcoming 2021 Supercross season. As always, Zacho was a great conversationalist and he even hinted at something new in his program, come January. We tried to pry it out of him but had no luck...maybe we need to go on a spy mission to Florida to find out!

The Truth About Drilling Holes in Your Frame and More, on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast Dec 08, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

This week's edition of the Kickstart Podcast is a doozie! In addition to the usual bench racing, we delved into what is inadvertently a hot topic on the Vital message board and amongst Pulp Nation soldiers...the Ride-Gate drill scandal! But really, beyond that nonsense, we cover a lot of the happenings in the sport and have a ton of laughs!

Carson Mumford on the FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast Dec 06, 2020

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing

Carson Mumford made his professional debut this summer in the 250 MX Nationals and finished a respectable 12th overall aboard his GEICO Honda CRF250R. A long-time member of the GEICO Honda squad, Mumford made his mark in the mini classes aboard a very special CRF150R, winning several Amateur National Championships along the way. When the team announced that it was closing its doors, Mumford was left without a ride, even though he had two years remaining on his contract. Recently, news has broken that he has joined the Chaparral Honda squad, which is now in its second year of operation. We checked in with Mumford this afternoon to see how the new team, machine, and personnel are suiting him.

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing

There's been a lot of fuss made over Jett Lawrence in recent days, but we wanted to chat with older brother Hunter Lawrence to get his take on all of the changes for 2021 and beyond. HLaw has always been one of the coolest racers to chat with, and today's episode of the FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast is excellent! We talk with Hunter about everything: the new HRC Honda deal, Alpinestars gear, sibling rivalry, golf, fancy watches, mountain biking, and more! Enjoy!

Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

Thanksgiving is almost upon us and here in SoCal, that means one thing to dirt bikers: A Day in the Dirt Grand Prix! In addition to going over the latest happenings, rumors, and so on and so forth in Supercross, we chat about the ADITD race; something we looks forward to every winter. Our regular co-host Alex Ray ditched swap for the Moto A Go Go team race in favor of his husky roommate, Kenny "Taco" Bell, and both ARay and KTB join us on the show this week. Lots of laughter and good times...enjoy!

Jay Reynolds on the FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing

We're caught the opening rounds of the Hoosier Tires Arenacross Series a few weeks ago in Oklahoma and were introduced to Jay Reynolds, the organizer and the promoter of the 15-round race series. It's cool to see hundreds of amateur riders and a few Nationally-ranked pros on the starting line in the same night, and Reynolds has big plans to make the series even more appealing.
If you're a pro-level racer or a very good amateur, then you should really have an eye on the Hoosier Arenacross series. Their purse payout and sponsorship contingency package is solid, but the broadcast plans that MAVTV and FloRacing have announced are excellent opportunities to get your name and results out to the world
But if you're a back of the pack rider or a beginner, the Hoosier Tires Arenacross series will have something to offer you. It's tough to get a race in during the winter months and you'll have that chance at venues around the Midwest and Southeast over the next few months.

Supercross Madness on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

SoCal is abuzz with activity at the public and private Supercross tracks as racers are starting to prepare for the upcoming 2021 Monster Energy Supercross Championship. We spent the morning at Lake Elsinore's recently opened Supercross track, and the course was as packed as the 91 freeway at 4:00 p.m. Our co-host Alex Ray was among the riders circulating the track, but he was nearly lost amongst the Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha and SmarTop/Bullfrog Spas/Moptoconcepts/Honda teams, who made up a large portion of the attendees. There were no races to bench race about today, but it was one heck of a fun show. Enjoy!
