Exhaust #186: Adventure Bikes Can Change Your Life (w/Simon Cudby) Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

Jason Weigandt talks to longtime and all-time motocross photographer and video man Simon Cudby about his new life chasing trails on adventure bikes. Cudby spent 20 years in the trenches shooting photos at the races, but when all that travel caught up to him, he had to find a new way to stay in the motorcycle world. The answer was adventure bikes, which is his new focus via his OffRoadUnderground.com website. Simon now travels the world on big bikes, basically living the dream we all dream: seeing exotic locations from behind a set of handlebars. Enjoy this episode of the Racer X Exhaust podcast, presented by Yoshimura, Leatt, and OnTrack School.

The Racer X MXGP Review Show #6 Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

Round six of the 2022 MXGP World Championship took the FIM series into the brutally bumpy, sandy-ish terrain of Kegums for the Grand Prix of Latvia. Adam Wheeler and Lewis Phillips have plenty to talk about, even if the MXGP class is already heavily Honda-formed. A popular local podiumee and a first trophy for Spain's next Grand Prix star, plus a red-plate swaparound in MX2, were just some of the topics on the table.

Exhaust #185: The Past and the Future (with Chad Reed) Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

Following Chad Reed's return to Monster Energy AMA Supercross—well, his return to opening ceremonies, at least—Jason Weigandt rang up the legend to chat about getting his championship-replica 2004 YZ250 two-stroke ready for the track in St. Louis. Turns out to be a much more complicated story than you'd imagine, from early-morning scrambles to put parts in bags to the throttle sticking on a jump and nearly ending everything badly. Enjoy Chad's tale of retro two-stroke madness, and then focus on the future. Chad and Ellie Reed were really in St. Louis so their son Pace could participate in the KTM Jr. Supercross Challenge. How are the Reeds navigating the world of amateur minicycle racing? What about the pressure that comes with the name Reed on the jersey? And starting a YouTube channel? Jason and Chad chat about all of it here. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura, Leatt, and OnTrack School.

Exhaust #183: Adam Cianciarulo is Not Down in the Dumps Apr 06, 2022

Show notes

"My life is not rough!" is the main thing Adam Cianciarulo wants people to take away from this podcast. Yes, he's out injured again, and his ACL recovery might cost him all of 2022, but he's well aware that being a professional dirt bike racer is still amazing, and he's not in a dark place. The injuries used to weigh on him like that, though. It used to make him feel bitter toward the sport. He has now learned not to define himself by his results. Don't worry, he still wants to win, though. Jason Weigandt learns a lot about perspective in this interview with Adam. You can learn too.
