Jason Weigandt chats with Austin Forkner to get an injury update, learn more about his philosophies on building confidence in his return and and why he's learned not to care what others think. "If you always say the right thing and you're always that perfect person, is that who you really are, or is that who you're just portraying and trying to be? Some people don't like me and some people do. I'm 100 percent fine with that." The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

While there are success stories of privateer teams eventually morphing to strong factory-supported outfits, the road there is long and winding. What's the motivation for the teams in the back of the pits? Where does the money come from? What's the lifestyle for the team owner? Jason Weigandt chats with PR MX's Julien Perrier about the evolution of his team, with riders such as Cade Clason, Josh Cartwright, Ludovic Macler, Devin Simonson, Luke Neese, Ryan Surratt, Dakota Alix, and Justin Thompson. Perrier can best sum up his effort to run this big program like this: "I'm really dumb and very stubborn!" This edition of the Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by MX Tech Suspension and Yoshimura.

The night before MotoCar Fite Klub, Road2Recovery hosted a fundraiser Q&A with fans. With Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, Chad Reed, Ryan Dungey, Brian Deegan, Justin Brayton, and tour de France cyclist Christian Vande Velde gathered, there was no shortage of great stories from the good old days. Jason Weigandt recorded the best parts of the session so you can listen in as the legends describe their old rivalries, their current relationships, and other cool takes on racing then and now. Topics include Reed growing up as a McGrath fan, only to take him out at the Bercy Supercross, and Reed having Carmichael posters in his room growing up, only to battle him for wins and titles. McGrath describes taking a young Carmichael under his wing in California, then later trying to hold him off for supremacy. Deegan describes battling Travis Pastrana at the X Games and the reaction to the double backflip, and Brayton describes turning pro and getting lapped by Carmichael! Special thanks for Road2Recovery for putting the whole thing together. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Any athlete at the top level possesses a crazy level of ambition, a drive and desire well beyond most people's. Ryan Dungey certainly personified that, as he made hard work his trademark en route to a legendary career. But what happens when you retire and it all stops? Ryan had to find himself, and that almost led to going back to his old job, with an attempted comeback for 2021. That didn't happen, and now Ryan has a new venture to pour his ambition into. Jason Weigandt chats with Ryan for a look at life after racing. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Ken Roczen, Eli Tomac, and the lead pack of 2021 have taken a new lease on racing, enjoying the process and having fun with their crew instead of using results to determine their entire life's worth. Guess what? They ride better when they enjoy life. Roczen, in particular, has been through too many ups and downs to approach this any other way. In this Racer X Exhaust podcast, Jason Weigandt narrates through quotes from Kenny in 2021, illustrating his new approach. When Kenny was frustrated, he moved on. When Kenny won, he also moved on. You'll also hear from the new, much happier Eli Tomac, Christian Craig, Colt Nichols, and more. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Chad Reed has always been next-level with his passion for the sport. Many times it appeared there was no ending in sight, regardless of age, team situation, injuries, or any other reason—Chad was just always going to line up. Well, on Saturday, the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross season will begin, and for the first time since the 2001 SX opener, Chad Reed will not be on the starting gate. Jason Weigandt called Chad on Wednesday morning to find out why he didn't attempt to ramp up an effort this time and found Chad much more at peace with retirement than anyone—including Chad himself—ever expected.

Jeff Stanton gets it. He's lived a great life both during and after his racing years, so that's why even though a few riders might have even more wins and titles than Six-Time, no one commands more respect. Jeff has become a confidant for a lot of riders who need life advice, and he's always looking to shake things up and try some new projects. His latest venture just launched, JeffStantonadventures.com. He'll host adventure riding tours through Michigan, with plenty of side trips built in to experience the outdoor lifestyle. Oh, and plenty of old bench-racing stories mixed in as well! Jason Weigandt called Stanton this week to talk about the new business, success in other ventures after racing, and how Jeff tries to help other ex-pros make the same transition he did. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

We joke about 49 riders racing for Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha, but only one of them has a story like this. Aaron Plessinger will transition from the Monster Energy Yamaha in-house factory team to Star's new 450 squad. Will the Star YZ450F be different than the previous factory bike? Can Aaron make a step forward after two frustrating seasons in the 450 class? Jason Weigandt chats with the very friendly, very honest Plessinger, who is always laughing, even when he's describing bad news! The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

In dirt bike racing, the fastest riders aren't always the ones who rack up championship after championship, and speed isn't measured with a number or on a lap chart—it's more intangible, more elusive.

Shane McElrath took a huge risk by leaving his old Troy Lee Designs KTM squad for Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha. It was 250SX Championship or bust in 2020, and, well, it must have been bust, because he finished second. But was it? Shane says he's happy to have taken a risk and learned lessons even in defeat, even though he pointed out of the 250 class and found himself without a factory 450 ride. He felt even better after he tried the SmarTop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda, a bike so good that he said he really couldn't walk away from it, even if it meant signing a supercross-only contract. McElrath also hits on his own place in the sport: never the overwhelming favorite, but always a contender to win races and land on the podium. Where does he fit in? It's a question even he has wrestled with. In this podcast, Shane talks to Jason Weigandt to reveal the journey to his new ride, how the bonus-heavy structure will work, and his own position in the sport. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

If not the biggest news of the off-season, it's at least the most surprising: Jeremy Martin has returned to Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha, the team he rode for from 2012 to 2016. The previous ending of that relationship was not good, but Jeremy needed a new home after GEICO Honda closed, and he knows the Star YZ250F is a great bike. Jason Weigandt chats with Jeremy about the GEICO shutdown, signing with his old team, and why he didn't take the offer from Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki or Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull GasGas. Plus, the annual "can you finally win a supercross title" question! The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

This story is far too familiar for Hunter Lawrence: he's once again mending from an injury, this time a shoulder dislocation dating back to the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross opener. There's some good news, though, as Hunter and his brother Jett have factory Honda HRC 250 rides for 2021. Hunter feels he has plenty of time to make the gate for the Monster Energy 250SX West opener on February 20 in Glendale, and he's eager to finally put the injuries behind him and rack up some results. Jason Weigandt rings up the funny Australian for the latest on his 2021 deal. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.

Even when word got out that the GEICO Honda team might have to close up shop, everyone knew Honda would find a place for Jett Lawrence. The 17-year-old Australian is the hottest prospect in the sport after a rookie pro season that saw him nearly win his third supercross race, then cap the year with a Lucas Oil Pro Motocross overall win at Fox Raceway. Plus, his off-track persona gives him popularity beyond his results. This week, Jett's Honda HRC factory 250F ride was announced as official, as was his new deal with Red Bull, which led to a cool video where he rides a half-width supercross track. Jason Weigandt rang up Jettson for a conversation about his new ride, his 2020 season, and the strange small-world story of training with Ken Roczen's dad back in the day. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.
