    CHAPTER 419 Ft. Pernilla Solberg

    Jase Macalpine sits down with Pernilla Solberg for Chapter 419 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast to tell the story behind one of rally's most influential families. Pernilla never wanted to be the best female driver. She wanted to be the best driver, period. When one competitor told her that if she ever beat him, he'd put his helmet on the shelf, that's exactly what she did. Pernilla raced against the boys in Sweden throughout the late '90s, met Petter Solberg at Rally GB in 1998, and retired at 28 to raise their son Oliver, now a WRC driver in his own right. Today, she runs the Solberg motorsport operation, serves as President of the FIA World Rally Commission, and holds board seats across five family car companies. In this chapter, Pernilla gets into what it takes to run a rally team, why a Rally1 car can now cost $1.5 million with few buyers lining up, how modern PR is stripping motorsport of its biggest personalities, and why a new WRC owner could be days away from being announced. Plus, the sim racer who beat everyone with a Logitech taped to his kitchen table, the Norwegian Prime Minister who wrote Petter a letter about his swearing, and why Pernilla believes YouTube, not TV, has become the biggest engine in motorsport.

    CHAPTER 418 Ft. Petter Solberg

    Petter Solberg sits down with Jase for Chapter 418 to tell the full story of how a broke Norwegian farm kid became the only Norwegian to ever win the World Rally Championship. From racing Beetles in the mud and earning £15,000 a year as a carpenter, to signing with Ford alongside Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz, the crash that changed his career, winning the 2003 WRC title, and raising his son Oliver as the next generation. They cover the golden era of WRC, the wild party scene of 2000s rally, Petter’s rallycross years battling Sébastien Loeb, keeping sponsors happy, his wife Pernilla and how they built an empire together, and Jase getting behind the wheel of Petter’s rally car. Whether you grew up playing Colin McRae Rally on PlayStation or you’re discovering the sport through Oliver Solberg, this is two decades of rally history told by the man who lived it.

    CHAPTER 417 Ft. Charley Boorman

    Charley Boorman sits down with Jase to tell the real story behind Long Way Round, the trip with Ewan McGregor that changed the motorcycle adventure genre forever. From how the idea came together over dinner in London, to the Dakar Rally training that got him ready, to riding the Road of Bones across Siberia to Magadan, Charley walks through the trip that shaped his life. They get into what four months on the road with Ewan actually taught him, how the Sky One deal came together, the Long Way Down and Long Way Up follow-ups, riding Australia end to end, 53 miles of hard enduro at the Isle of Man with David Knight, and what makes Jett Lawrence and Marc Marquez operate on a different level than the rest of us. Whether you've watched every Long Way series or you're finding Charley for the first time, this is the interview that goes deeper than the shows ever could.

They also get into his first Porsche 911, the car shop he runs, why he fell in love with drift cars, the backyard supercross track a friend built for him, and what he sees in Jett Lawrence and the current state of supercross.

    CHAPTER 415 Ft. Dan Bewley

    Chapter 415 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast features British speedway rider Dan Bewley sitting down with Jase to explain what it actually feels like to race a bike with no brakes, four laps at a time, at 70 mph, inches away from three other riders. Dan breaks down the crash that shattered his femur, his dream of becoming a professional motocross racer before switching to speedway, and what it took to build a career in a sport most Americans have never seen. They also get into the new Kawasaki two-stroke concept everyone's talking about, life racing in Poland where speedway is massive, Russian riders being banned from top-level competition, Ken Roczen finally becoming a Supercross champion, and whether Haiden Deegan really has what it takes to beat Jett Lawrence.

    CHAPTER 414 Ft. Greg Minnaar

    Greg Minnaar is one of the greatest downhill mountain bikers of all time. From winning his first UCI World Cup at 19 to becoming World Champion just weeks before his 40th birthday, he spent more than two decades at the top of the sport. In this episode, Greg looks back on the defining moments of his career, from growing up racing motocross in South Africa to helping build Honda's iconic downhill MTB program. We dive into the Sam Hill era, how Aaron Gwin changed downhill racing, the development of Honda's legendary bike, and what it really took to stay at the top for over 20 years. Greg also opens up about nearly quitting at 20, living with ADHD as a professional athlete, the sacrifices required to keep winning, and the pressure of racing in front of a home crowd. If you're a fan of downhill mountain biking, motocross, or high-performance athletes, this is an inside look at the mindset, rivalries, and legacy of one of the sport's true GOATs.

    CHAPTER 413 Ft. Luke Tarrant

    Luke Tarrant left a great job in finance and walked away from the corporate world, knowing he didn't want to spend his life stuck in an office. He sold everything he owned and spent years riding his motorcycle across the world, chasing the kind of adventure few people ever experience. On a ride through Colombia, everything came to a screeching halt when he was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him fighting for his life. After weeks in a Colombian hospital, Luke ultimately had his leg amputated. Since then, he's grown a massive global social media following by sharing his journey, inspiring millions with his adventures, resilience, and outlook on life. In Chapter 413, Jase and Luke dive into the motorcycle crash that changed everything, the incredible strangers who came together to help save his life, crossing the Darien Gap by boat, ending up at a cartel party in Mexico, learning to walk and ride again with a prosthetic leg, and why he refuses to move on until he returns to Colombia to finish the ride.
