Colt Nichols on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast Jul 01, 2019

Show notes

Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha's Colt Nichols suffered some bad luck at MX 338, but even after an off weekend in what has otherwise been a great season for the Oklahoma native agreed to join us to bench race and fill us in about his program on today's installment of the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast. Nichols was a solid fifth in the first moto at Southwick, but a lap-one crash in the second left him scrambling to come from behind. Nichols' charge from 37th to 11th was nothing short of spectacular, and he tells us all about it in today's show. swap is on a boat somewhere in Mexico this week, so Michael Antonovich takes over as host, with Chase Curtis assisting as today's co-host. Enjoy!

Ryan Villopoto on the Swapmoto Podcast Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

You'd think that a retired racer would do his best to enjoy a life of leisure after leaving the non-stop travel and hustle and bustle of professional motocross and Supercross, but these days it seems as if Ryan Villopoto remains as bust as he's ever been. Since joining forced with Yamaha, RV has been having more fun than ever, racing selected events, joining the press on media junkets, playing around on pit bikes...you name it and he's doing it! We visited RV in his Newport Beach home earlier this week to catch up on everything he's got going on, plus dad life, mini bikes, vans, and more!

If you've always been a Ryan Villopoto fan, you'll love this one. If you're not a fan; give it a listen...he'll win you over.

Show notes

We took delivery of our 2020 KTM 450 SX-F test bike today at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. Sister to the Husqvarna FC 450 that we tested last week, the KTM has some distinct differences that make it a bike all its own. SML Senior Rest Rider Pat Foster joins us to talk about the intricacies that make this what he calls, "The best KTM ever."

Presented by 6D Helmets

Our buddy Carson Mumford swung by the Swapmoto Live office this morning to join us on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast. The AMSOIL Honda rider is days away from heading to the High Sierras for the annual Mammoth Mountain MX, so we wanted to chat him up about amateur racing at the highest level and also do some bench racing about last weekend's WW Ranch MX National.

First Impression of the 2020 Husqvarna FC 450 with Pat Foster on the Swapmoto Live Podcast Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

It's almost unbelievable that it is mid-June and we just took delivery of our first 2020 motocross bike. The new Husqvarna FC 450 is based on last year's 2019.5 Rockstar Energy Edition, but it has several notable refinements in the engine mapping and suspension departments. Test rider Pat Foster put the bike through its paces alone today as swap is battling the flu, but hear his first impressions in this quick podcast!

Cole Seely on the Swapmoto Live Podcast Jun 18, 2019

Show notes

Team Honda HRC's Cole Seely saw his summer come to a premature end last week when he crashed while training in Florida and suffered a dislocated and broken shoulder. The SoCal native will undergo surgery today to repair his shoulder, but we caught up with him last night to chat about everything under the sun: from what effect this injury will have on his career, to driving drift cars one-handed, to his girlfriend making a living off of Instagram! We really enjoyed this most recent chat with CS14...grab a chair and enjoy!

Cameron McAdoo on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast Jun 11, 2019

Show notes

After finishing fifth in the Western Regional 250 Supercross Championship with the GEICO Honda squad, Cameron McAdoo found himself without a ride for this summer's 250 MX Nationals. The Iowan continued to train and stayed sharp by pounding motos on one of the GEICO Honda team's spare 450s, and he was ready and willing when the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM team called and asked if he'd like to fill in for four rounds, starting this weekend at High Point. McAdoo joined us in the Swapmoto Live offices this afternoon for a really nice chat. Enjoy!

Tyler Bowers on the Swapmoto Live Podcast Jun 05, 2019

Show notes

It's been 10 years since Tyler Bowers contested an entire MX National Championship Series, but the popular 28-year-old is making a go of it this summer on his Bowers Motorsports/Triggr Racing Kawasaki KX450 after a successful Monster Energy Supercross Series. We caught up with Bowers yesterday at Glen Helen Raceway, where he was putting in motos to try and find a better set-up for the Mt. Morris National in two weeks. Listen in to get a peek into what makes The Hulk tick on a daily basis!

Show notes

GEICO Honda's Hunter Lawrence how has three US MX Nationals under his belt, and he joined us today on the 6D Helmets Kickstart Podcast to bench race and fill us in on his American motocross experience thus far. Hunter struggled a bit at the Hangtown opener but showed his true potential at Fox Raceway when he ran up front in both motos. Sadly, he couldn't find that same form last weekend in Denver, but he is optimistic about the races as the series heads east!
