Josh Hill's Return to Racing | Fox Feature Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

Tomorrow night in Tampa, Florida, will mark the start of the Eastern Regional 250 Supercross Championship and while much of the hype surrounds defending champion Chase Sexton of the GEICO Honda team and his rivals like RJ Hampshire, Shane McElrath, Jordon Smith and more, one rider who is rather quietly making a return to competition is Josh Hill. The 30-year-old from the Yoncalla, Oregon, will contest the entire series aboard a Yamaha YZ250F with support from the Club MX Race Team, after several years away from full-time racing. Hill, who is best remembered as a factory Yamaha racer, has spent the past few years earning a living as a freerider and social influencer, but when the opportunity to line up again presented itself, he got in shape, trained at Club MX, and is coming into this series, "fit and ready to race for wins."

For this edition of the Fox Feature, we phoned Hill up for an insightful and entertaining podcast. Be sure to keep your eyes out for the number-175 Yamaha YZ250F on Saturday night!

Colby Raha on the SML Show Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

Presented by OGIO Powersports and FMF Racing With seven X Games medals to his credit, Colby Raha has certainly made his mark on the sport of freestyle motocross, but it wasn't all fun and games for the new Rockstar Energy Husqvarna rider. Once one of the many aspiring mini racers who travel the country in pursuit of amateur motocross glory, Raha's racing career took a radical detour when he was in his early teens and he thought his chances of being a professional racer were over. Through hard work and dedication, he found a way to express himself on two wheels without starting gates and checkered flags, and his story is one of the most interesting we've heard. Colby Raha is a lot more than a gnarly freestyle rider...he's one of the coolest guys we've had on the SML Show, too! Enjoy!

San Diego Supercross Review on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

Presented by 6D Helmets

Round six of the Monster Energy Supercross Series visited San Diego's Petco Park last weekend and the pits were filled with special graphic kits and gearsets for the Military Appreciation theme. Dylan Ferrandis earned his third win of the season and further extended his championship points lead heading into the six-week break in West Coast racing while Supercross Champion Cooper Webb broke the seal on his title defense with his first win of the season. A lot more went down than the results column reveals, though, and we discuss all of the things we saw and heard at Petco Park in this week's installment of the 6D Helmets Kickstart podcast. Enjoy.

Broc Tickle on the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Fly Racing

Broc Tickle's FIM suspension for his failed drug test at the 2018 San Diego Supercross ends next week, February 10, 2020, and the former Western Regional 250 Supercross Champion will make his return to racing at the February 15 Tampa Supercross. In preparation for his comeback, Tickle had assembled an impressive Husqvarna FC 450 race bike with help from AEO Powersports, Twisted Development Racing, and REP Suspension but as luck would have it, a fill-in ride with the JGRMX Suzuki team presented itself and it looks like we'll see a yellow number 20 bike next weekend in Florida. We phoned Broc up this evening to get an update on how things are progressing, and to chat about the excellent team he had assembled before he was presented with a factory fill in.

Alex Ray on the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Fly Racing

SGD Racing/Maxxis Tires/Babbitt's Kawasaki rider Alex Ray has been enjoying a solid season aboard his new Kawasaki KX450 and save for the Anaheim One season opener he has been a regular contender in the 450 mains. The likable privateer had a great showing at last weekend's Oakland Supercross, and we invited him to join us in the SML offices for this installment of the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast.

Oakland Supercross Recap on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

Presented by 6D Helmets

Round five of the Monster Energy Supercross Series visited Oakland, California's RingCentral Coliseum last weekend, and the SML crew was on hand to capture all of the action. Great racing developed in both classes and there was plenty for us to bench race about today on this installment of the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast.

Ricky Brabec on the SML Show Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

Presented by OGIO Powersports and FMF Racing

In the four decades that the Dakar Rally has been held, no American racer has ever stood atop the podium in the motorcycle division until now. California's Ricky Brabec broke KTM's 18-year stranglehold on the event this month by winning "The Most Prestigious Off-Road Race in the World" aboard his Monster Energy Honda, and we were super excited to get him on this week's show!

Thanks to Ogio Powersports, FMF Racing, Alpinestars, Shoei Helmet, FXR Racing, ODI Grips, Scott Motorsports, and FLY Racing.

Glendale Supercross Recap on the 6D Helmets Podcast Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

Presented 6D Helmets

The first Triple Crown of the season went down last weekend at the Glendale, Arizona, round of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship Series and lots went down, literally and figuratively. While Honda HRC's Ken Roczen pulled a clean sweep in the 450 class, it was not without incident as there was plenty of carnage on the track around him. In the 250s, Austin Forkner rebounded with a win after his poor Anaheim Two showing and closed his points deficit to ten.

Jett Lawrence on the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast Jan 24, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Fly Racing

GEICO Honda's Jett Lawrence made a huge impression on Supercross fans around the world last Saturday with his spirited ride in the Anaheim Two 250 Supercross main event. The 16-year-old came within two straightaways of winning his first Supercross and had the crowd on its feet as he did his best to hold off a hard-charging Dylan Ferrandis. Sadly, the rookie's near-win ended with a spectacular crash only seconds away from the finish line that left him with a minor concussion and a broken collarbone. But make no mistake: Jett Lawrence is for real and he will be back. We caught up with the popular Australian this morning to see how he's doing and learn a bit more about him in this installment of the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast. Enjoy!
