2021 250 Shootout Bench Racing on the FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast Nov 15, 2020

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing

Our 2021 250 Motocross Shootout comparison has come to a close, and after our final day of comparison testing at Cahuilla Creek MX Park, our testing staff gathered at Blackmore Ranch in Murietta, California, to relax and do some bench racing about all five of the machines we spent the day riding. While the official shootout results are yet to be determined (lots and lots of data and test rider feedback must be processed), the PNG Happy Hour conversation offers a ton of insight about each of the machines. Which bike will win? Draw your own conclusions and see if you were correct when we drop the official results next week! Use the code SML20 for 20% off all PNG products at pinnaclenutritiongroup.com

Show notes

Presented by Pro Taper

This week's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast comes a couple of days late as our staff was all traveling back home from Reynolds, Georgia, on Monday, following the inaugural Seven MX Mini Major East race at Silver Dollar Motorsports Park. The event was amazing and it was great to meet so many new min riders from the other side of the country, and we certainly look forward to growing the race in the years to come. On this week's show, Alex Ray and Brandon Hartranft call in from Northern California, where they are both testing in preparation for the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross Series. Hartranft talks about his new Suzuki RM-Z450 and we also confirm several new team and rider pairings for the upcoming season!

The annual DUBYA USA Vet World Championships are this coming weekend, so we called up DUBYA USA's John Anderson to get the scoop on the well-loved event. This podcast is much more than an event hype piece, we also chat about the early days of the company, the late, great, Tom White, product secrets, and more! John is one of the coolest guys in the sport, and DUBYA USA is the company most of the top-tier racers and teams turn to for wheel needs.

Presented by Pro Taper

The off-season is in full swing and there have been some interesting developments - some that we knew about in advance, and others that were a complete surprise. Our regular co-host Alex Ray was still recovering from Halloween weekend (kidding), so we invited Jeremy McGrath to fill in as today's co-host. It was a great time chatting about new stuff, old stuff, and other stuff! Enjoy!

Presented by FLY Racing

Yesterday, the SmarTop/BullFrog Spas/Motoconcepts/Honda team announced its 2021 Supercross roster and Shane McElrath will make his 450-class debut on one of the team's Honda CRF450R race bikes. It's been a wild few weeks since the Fox Raceway National finale for McElrath and his wife, Joy, as they've been busy testing out a handful of different race bikes with teams that wanted to secure his services. Ultimately, McElrath was most impressed by the MCR Honda machine as well as the team's inner-workings. We caught up with our buddy Shane on Halloween afternoon to talk all about the new deal!

Presented by Pro Taper

We're three weeks into the off-season and there are still a bunch of super-talented racers who have yet to land rides, team manufacturer deals yet to be finalized, and race schedules not yet announced. The 2021 Monster Energy Supercross Championship series is set to be announced tomorrow, and we talk about what we've heard and are expecting. Lots of nonsense in today's show, but it's all good and fun. Enjoy!

Anton & Crutcher Bench Race On The FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast Oct 24, 2020

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing
After a whirlwind year, we're well into the offseason and already looking towards 2021. This short lull between the last race and the start of preseason prep will be a busy time for teams, as they're already pulling together the parts and pieces needed for whatever series they're signed up for, be it Supercross or Arenacross. Our friend Jeff Crutcher was in Anton's area getting some suspension serviced for his newly-formed ATC/FLPSDE Racing team and the guys decided to take some time and bench race on the recorder.

The inaugural Mini Major East is set to go off November 6-8 at Silver Dollar MX in Reynolds, Georgia, and if the recent Mini Major West was any indication, we are in for a barn-burning good time! Catering solely to the mini bike crowd, the three-day event will run practice on Friday, and one championship moto per class on Saturday and Sunday. Classes for all minis will be available, including two premier divisions for girls. With so many questions about the event floating around, we decided to get Race Director Aaron Cooke, Silver Dollar MX manager and trainer Matt Walker, and Seven MX's Roger Larsen on to discuss the event. Even if you're not planning on attending, this podcast includes plenty of insight about the sport in general. Hope to see you there!
