Exhaust #82: Inside Anaheim 1

Once upon a time, vurbmoto.com changed the media game with high-end videos of amateur racers, building trust and gaining access to the future stars of the sport. Vurb itself eventually ceased, but the video crew still produces projects like Red Bull Moto Spy, which follows the big names with cameras and mics to get behind-the-scenes access. Remember, today's stars are the same riders Vurb covered 10 years ago, when they were kids. What have they learned about working with riders on a daily basis? What made Anaheim 1 unique compared to any other race? The day after Anaheim 1, Jason Weigandt took the Moto Spy crew to lunch to bench race about Anaheim and dive deeper into gaining access, how the riders and teams act on race day and during the week, and how this entire process came to be. Join Weigandt, Wes Williams, Danny Stuart, David Bullmer, and Chase Stallo while they do what you do: bench race, break down, and theorize about the athletes at Anaheim. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Exhaust #81: Osborne the Sleeper (with Zach Osborne)

There might not be another rider on the gate who appreciates his job more than Zach Osborne, but that's what a titanic career journey through Europe and back to the U.S. will do to a man. In this edition of the Racer X Exhaust Podcast, Jason Weigandt asks Zach about his 2020 prospects, then dives deeper into topics like training, motivation, and appreciation. This is a longer version of the text interview posted on racerxonline.com this week. Why is Zach, now 30, less burned out than riders five years younger than him? You'll find out here.

E

Jason Weigandt chats with Adam Bailey and Ryan Sanderson of AME Management—producers of the Monster Energy AUS-X Open Supercross—to get a candid tale of all the obstacles, costs, headaches, and rewards of running a big-time race. It's not easy and not cheap, but when the fans show up and the lights come on, it's all worth it. From fears of trucks falling through the Marvel Stadium floor, to the price tag to bring American riders to Australia, to the feelings of seeing their dream finally become reality, Adam and Sando break it all down here.

Exhaust #78: Racing's Most Passionate Supporter (with Yarrive Konsky)

E

Last Saturday night, Penrite Honda won both Australian Supercross Championships in clutch fashion, with Justin Brayton and Chris Blose coming from behind to claim the crowns. It was an emotional experience for team owner Yarrive Konsky, not just because they won, but also because the AUS-X Open means so much to Australian racing. Also, because Yarrive loves racing so damned much. In this interview conducted directly after the post-race press conference, Yarrive fights back the emotion while reflecting on his journey to this point, and also discusses why he's decided to expand into an American operation for 2020. You might not find a more insightful, passionate supporter of dirt bike racing than Yarrive, who has been told he could be driving a Porsche if he put more time into his other businesses—but who would rather just drive a van and haul dirt bikes. Forever. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Exhaust #77: Deep Perspective Down Under

E

The conversation after this year's Monster Energy AUS-X Open drifted in a different direction. While the post-race press conference is supposed to allow race winners and champions to talk about their night and their season, nearly every rider on the stage—Chad Reed, Jason Anderson, Justin Brayton, Chris Blose, Dan Reardon, and Josh Hill—mentioned the perspective and enjoyment they've gained as they continued racing at an older age. For Reed, Brayton, and Blose, that includes defying the odds of conventional competitiveness; for Hill and Reardon, it included comebacks from retirement. Even Anderson, only 26, feels he's gained much maturity in the last year. There's only one exception to this concept: the 16-year-old Jett Lawrence, who added some hilarity to the conversation and also explained his background with Reed. Jason Weigandt hosts the event, and you'll enjoy the perspective of some of the wise men of this business. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Exhaust #76: Joey Savatgy

E

Jason Weigandt sat down with new JGR/Yoshimura Suzuki rider Joey Savatgy in the pits at the Monster Energy S-X Open in Auckland, New Zealand, to discuss his long journey toward getting a ride for 2020. After a solid rookie season with Monster Energy Kawasaki, Savatgy was left looking for work once Kawasaki promoted Adam Cianciarulo to Savatgy's old spot as a 450 factory rider. Savatgy would appear to have an easy home with JGR and Suzuki, but as that team sputtered finding funding, Joey was left to wait, wait, and wait some more. What was that process like? Did he ever consider the privateer route—or quitting altogether? Is he bitter about being in this situation in the first place? Savatgy gets honest in this edition of the Racer X Exhaust Podcast.

Exhaust #73: What's An Agent Do? (with Lucas Mirtl)

E

Agents are about as well-liked as lawyers from an outsider's perspective, but Lucas Mirtl, agent for many top riders in the sport, says his job is more about the human side than the business side. You know the awesome new Ryan Villopoto persona? He helped shape that. You know Hunter and Jett Lawrence? He was on them long before most in the industry. Lucas has placed a lot of riders in good spots, but he's also had his struggles (finding a place for Joey Savatgy for 2020). In part 1 of this extended interview with Jason Weigandt, you'll learn why an agent can do much more than just comb through a contract with his athletes.

Jason Weigandt chats with Lewis Phillips of MXVice to talk Assen, GP gossip, the European fans' view of Team USA, and more.

Exhaust #68: An Invention to Save The Sport (with Stacyc's Ryan Ragland)

E

Ryan Ragland was once a racer, then a mechanic and R&D man at KTM. But he was completely and totally out of the industry by the time he accidentally invented a way to save it. Ragland, an engineer by trade and at heart, just wanted to share his love of motorcycles with his son, so he crudely grafted a cordless drill motor, RC car batteries, and a chain drive onto a balance bike. When the rest of his neighborhood saw his invention, they soon wanted one too. Thus, prototypes were built, and a company and brand—Stacyc (for stability cycle)—were born. With youth interest in motorcycling fading, the industry has been waiting for a jolt like this, so much so that Harley-Davidson decided to buy the Stacyc brand outright. But Ragland is still there, turning his dream of getting one young kid riding into a dream scenario for an entire industry. In this episode of the Racer X Exhaust Podcast, Ragland chats with Jason Weigandt to share the story of sharing the joy of riding. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Exhaust #67: Upstart Flat Track Points Leader Briar Bauman

E

Three years ago, Briar Bauman wasn't on the list of would-be champions in American Flat Track—in fact, he was just trying to scrape together purse money to make it to the races. That's all Bauman needed, because his first love is simply being at the track and hanging with his flat track family (including girlfriend Shayna Texter, a Red Bull KTM contender in the Singles class). Then Briar started to put results on the board. He picked up a factory Indian ride this year and skyrocketed right to the top of the charts. With two races remaining in 2019, he holds a big points lead in the Twins division. That should add a lot of pressure, but he's stayed true to his old model: having fun with his friends at the racetrack is priority number one, and the rest comes easy. In this podcast, Jason Weigandt chats with Bauman about handling the points lead, the stumbles on his march to the top, and his relationship with current AFT Champion Jared Mees, who has gone from friend and mentor to title rival. Oh, and those special nights when he and his brother Bronson battle for the win in the Twins class while Shayna fights for the victory in the Singles class! It's all coming at Briar quite fast, but you'll enjoy learning how he keeps it in perspective. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Exhaust #66: The Case for Team USA

E

Team USA holds an annual press conference before the final round of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, and honestly, it's usually pretty boring. The team talks about expecting and wanting to win, but after last year's not-even-on-the-podium performance on home soil at RedBud, it's clear just saying it doesn't equate to winning it. This year, Team USA faces a really steep challenge, with European sand and a home track for what's shaping up to be the strongest team at the event, Holland. However, by listening closely to this year's press conference, you can decode certain facts that can improve Team USA's chances. They might be underdogs, but this also might work to their advantage. Jason Weigandt hosts both the press conference and this podcast, offering some analysis of why what Team USA is saying might just improve their chances of winning. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Exhaust #65: Perspective and the Party with AC

E

A 250 championship is usually followed with thoughts of how the young champ will perform in the big-bike class. Adam Cianciarulo's 250 National Motocross Championship is different. This is a moment that is frozen in time because of the journey it took Adam—and his team—to get there. In this episode of the Racer X Exhaust Podcast, Jason Weigandt recaps the day at the Ironman National and logs some interviews during the actual post-race championship party for Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki, including chats with Adam, his coach Nick Wey, team owner Mitch Payton, and even Cole Seely, who stopped by to talk retirement and congratulate his friend. Most of all, this all provides a little perspective on a rider who has more perspective on himself than most. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Exhaust #64: How Racing Works (with AJ Allmendinger)

E

Is there too much money in motocross? Well, it's more expensive than it once was but it's nothing compared to car racing, which literally requires seven figure commitments from families or sponsors to advance even a talented driver to the highest levels. Jason Weigandt sits down with his fellow American Flat Track series broadcaster AJ Allmendinger--a race winner in IndyCar, NASCAR Cup and sports car racing, and one of the most dynamic personalities in the sport--to compare and contrast motorcycle racing and car racing. It's a fascinating look into the economics, schedules, technology and pressure of racing at all levels. Weege says this is one of his favorite podcasts ever! The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Exhaust #63: Visual Learning with Ryan Sipes

E

Time for our annual check-in with Ryan Sipes, now in year two of his do-it-all program racing supercross, motocross, off-road, flat track, and more. This year Sipes has already notched wins at the Hawaiian Supercross, the Sturgis TT round of American Flat Track, and even some sort of hillclimb, which he explains here. He also has a new video series via Red Bull that follows his journey. And what a journey it is, considering Sipes not only tries and succeeds at these events but builds his own bikes as well. Oh, and then there's the Erzburgrodeo, which is an entirely different story. In this podcast with Jason Weigandt, Sipes explains how he tries to learn and pick up the process of each racing discipline, and then how he applies it in practice and on race day. Who knows? He might not be the only one doing this someday. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.
