Thomas Covington on the SML Show Jan 24, 2020

Show notes

Presented by OGIO Powersports and FMF Racing

Save for a forgettable 2019 season in the United States, Thomas Covington has spent his entire professional racing career abroad, chasing glory on the FIM World Championship Motocross circuit. The likable racer from Alabama has tasted victory four times on the GP circuit and has given American race fans someone to cheer for in the World Championships. After struggling with injuries and a bout with the Epstein Barr virus in '19 when he was lured back to his home country by a ride with the Rockstar Energy Racing Husqvarna team, Covington has elected to return to the more familiar World Championship circuit in '20 and beyond. Always one of our favorite racers to chat with, Covington joined us on the SML Show set just before heading overseas to prepare for his first assault on the MXGP class with the Gebben Van Venrooy Yamaha team. We really enjoyed our conversation with Big Air Tom, and we think you will, too!

FXR Chaparral Honda's Michael Lindsay on the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast Jan 21, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Fly Racing

It's always great to have new race teams entering the sport and the new FXR Chaparral Honda team is especially interesting as it is owned one of our friends and former moto-journalist, Michael Lindsay. Known affectionately by the SML team as "Talking Boy," Lindsay is one of the good guys and he is fielding his own team to both check off a line on his personal bucket list and also to help several privateer racers make it to the races. We convinced TB to swing by the Swapmoto Live offices for a quick interview in between unloading his team semi and helping his mechanics rebuild race bikes. Enjoy!

Anaheim Two Recap on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast Jan 21, 2020

Show notes

Presented by 6D Helmets

What a wild night we had at the Anaheim Two Supercross! The racing was unreal and there was plenty for us to talk about and dissect, from Jett Lawrence's amazing and heartbreaking ride to the controversial Dylan Ferrandis and Christian Craig collision, to Eli Tomac's first win of the season and more! If the first three rounds of the Monster Energy Supercross series are any indication of what we can expect all season long, man are we pumped!

Jordan Troxell on the SML Show Jan 17, 2020

Show notes

We're trying something different and posting the audio from our in-studio video SML Show. Let us know if you'd like us to continue to share the audio via podcast format.

Presented by OGIO Powersports and FMF Racing

Jordan Troxell has always been one of the coolest guys in the pits and one of the mechanics who we really enjoy visiting with at the races. From his early days as Tarah Geiger's mechanic at the Troy Lee Designs Honda team, to his current role as Ken Roczen's factory mechanic at Team Honda HRC, Troxell has always had a smile on his face and it is obvious that he takes pride in his job. We had never had a mechanic on the SML Show before, and Troxell was our first choice to invite on for a chat. It took a while, but it was well worth it! Enjoy!

St. Louis Supercross Recap on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast Jan 14, 2020

Show notes

Presented by 6D Helmets

The Monster Energy Supercross Championship headed west last weekend to St. Louis, and though it was snowing outside, the action inside the Dome at America's Center was hot and heavy. In addition to Ken Roczen earning his first win after three years of injury and illness, we saw Austin Forkner earn his first win since dropping out of last year's 250 championship with a blown-out knee. Join the SML edit staff as we dissect the whos, whats, and whys of round two of this year's Supercross series.

Anaheim One Recap on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

Presented by 6D Helmets

Last weekend's Anaheim One Supercross was everything we had hoped it'd be and more! The capacity crowd on hand at Angels Stadium of Anaheim was treated to great racing in both classes, one first-time winner, and the beginning of what could be a couple of new rider rivalries. On this installment of the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast, we review what went down at A1, as well as discuss some interesting developments, as well as look ahead to this weekend's St. Louis SX.

Bernard Kerr Returns to the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast Jan 07, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Fly Racing

A few weeks ago, we introduced Bernard Kerr to our listeners. A world-class mountain bike racer from the UK, Kerr spent several weeks in SoCal in an attempt to try and qualify for the night show in the 450 class at last weekend's Anaheim One Supercross.

With support from Maxxis and Fly Racing, Kerr was able to live out 90% of his dream as he was loaned a Kawasaki KX450 race bike by Jeremy McGrath and received track side coaching from McGrath and Weston Peick. Kerr's learning curve was steep, and during the time he was in California he was quite impressive.

Sadly, Kerr was denied entry into the event on the Thursday before Anaheim One, and his #Pray1 campaign came to a heart-breaking end. Was he fast enough to qualify for the 40-rider night show? We'll never know for sure, but we can say with certainty that he would have been quicker then many of the riders in the C practice sessions.

Kerr joined us for a quick wrap-up before heading home to begin training for the 2020 World Cup Downhill series. Follow him on Instagram @bernard_kerr

A1 Winner Justin Cooper on the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast Jan 06, 2020

Show notes

Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha's Justin Cooper had a big night this weekend as he earned his first-ever 250 Supercross win at the Angels Stadium of Anaheim Monster Energy Supercross Series kickoff. Known for his cool-as-ice demeanor, it was cool to see how emotional Cooper got after scoring the big win aboard his Yamaha YZ250F. We got the New Yorker to come onto the Swapmoto Podcast this evening, while his emotions were still high over last night's victory.

Sean Miller/Pure Kana on the Fly Racing Swapmoto Podcast Dec 31, 2019

Show notes

Presented by Fly Racing

Unless you've been living in a cave for a couple of years now, you already know that CBD has become one of the most popular products and sponsorships in our sport. Dean Wilson gained a ton of attention last year when he landed Dan Bilzerian's Ignite CBD brand as a personal sponsor, then was told by Feld that he could not run logos due to NBC broadcast regulations. Chad Reed was next to land a CBD sponsor with CBDMD, but he was told the same.

Flash forward to a few days before the start of the 2020 Monster Energy Supercross Series, and CBDMD is the Official CBD of Supercross. Funny how that works...

But what the heck is CBD, and does it really work? Most people know that it is derived from the hemp plant, and most immediately assume CBD gets you high. We've been in contact with no less than eight CBD manufacturers since the product first came into prominence, but Sean Miller from Pure Kana is the first representative who has been able to answer all of our ignorant questions. If you're interested in CBD products for health, wellness, or recovery, listen in...we learned a lot during our 45-minute chat with Sean!

Anaheim One Benchracing | 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast Dec 27, 2019

Show notes

With swap in Japan, Anton called Dommer up and bench raced for an hour about the upcoming 2020 Anaheim One Supercross and Monster Energy Supercross season. This year's seventeen round series should be one of the best in history, as it will see a list of accomplished riders, past champions, and determined competitors in both classes. This is just a quick conversation, but we will have another in-depth installment just ahead of the opening round next week.
