Show notes

Presented by Fly Racing

On this week's Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast, we phoned up our buddy Cole Seely to get his take on the Monster Energy Supercross reboot in Salt Lake City, get the scoop on his new KTM 450 SX-F, and see how the freshly retired racer handled the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine. Jokingly, Seely told us that he "retired just in time," to avoid the uncertainty of the 2020 race season and the upcoming non-stop racing as the break in action has effectively eliminated this winter's off-season. Enjoy!

Tom Journet on the FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast Jun 07, 2020

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing

Even though you might not know Tom Journet, you've seen his video work somewhere in the last few years thanks to his ongoing projects with the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team, Bell Helmets, and Team Fried. A 20-something from the suburbs of New Jersey, Journet cut an interesting career path at a very young age, first as a contributor for Vurbmoto and then as a hired filmer for brands in the industry, but nothing compares to the cult following he, Anderson, and Matt Rice experience around the world through their personal online videos. We've heard the chants of "Team Fried" for ourselves in the sands of the Netherlands and the stadiums of Australia, as the group's aesthetic manages to connect with everyone while being completely abstract from the norms in MX videos.
During the COVID-19 shutdown, Journet went through the massive collection of hard drives that he's filed with footage over the last few years and edited it all together for a full-length flick, "Team Fried: The Lost Files." Shot around the world and at different times, the video is edited with each riders personality in mind and is matched to a diverse soundtrack.

Geoff Aaron on the FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast May 18, 2020

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing

Unless you've been living under a rock thus far in. 2020, you should already know that Spanish trials and off-road motorcycle manufacturer Gas Gas has been acquired by the KTM Group. In motocross and off-road circles, this means another complete set of machines based on the tried-and-true KTM platforms, but what does this mean for moto trials? For now, the championship-winning machines will be produced as is, but expect some KTM influence to find its way onto the popular bikes. 10-time National Trial Champion Geoff Aaron is the biggest name in American moto trials, and even though he retired from pro competition years ago he has continued to be an ambassador for the sport with his ERE action sports shows, and as Team Manager of the US Gas Gas Trials Team.

Moto trials in America has long been a small, niche part of off-road motorcycling, but we'rfe predicting that with the KTM Group's involvement, the underappreciated and underexposed sport will finally gain some widespread popularity. We've been buds with Aaron since before he earned his first championship, and had a great time catching up with him in this installment of the FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast. Enjoy!

Local Moto With Jeff Crutcher On The FLY Racing Swapmoto Podcast May 18, 2020

Show notes

Presented by FLY Racing
With some time left until Supercross starts back up, Anton made the drive to Iowa to watch the Justin Brayton Shootout at Riverside Raceway. Since Iowa has lifted restrictions from COVID-19 in recent weeks, the weekend in Winterset quickly became a must-ahead for riders of all skill levels in the central part of the United States and by the end of the weekend there were 1834 total race entries in a wide variety of classes. A sizeable purse payout to the Pro Classes lured a handful of speedy riders from around the region, including big winner Marshal Weltin, and it gave Anton a fix of competitive racing and motorcycles.
But part of the trip was to meet up with close friend Jeff Crutcher. A fixture in the Midwest MX scene, Crutcher has carved a unique space for himself through his start-up graphics shop (Rippin Ruts), coffee brand (Gimmick), and assorted ambassador deals with brands in the industry. Jeff has seen it all during his 23-years as a card carrying member to the AMA and over the last few years, he's honed in on the fun that comes with being a fast local rider. One of the biggest things that Anton and Crutcher have noticed in recent years is the return of of familiar faces to the track, as their 30-something year old friends have decided to get back on bikes or started the cycle over again with their kids on minis. Grassroots racing isn't going anywhere and the guys discussed what they're seeing at tracks around the country.
