Swapmoto Live Podcast Donn Maeda

Bill's Pipes has a rich history in off-road racing that started in the dirt track arena with legends like Wayne Rainey and Kenny Roberts, then ventured into ATV racing before finally landing in the motocross and Supercross disciplines, where it rose to prominence and earned several motocross championships with riders like Doug Henry, Steve Lamson, Travis Pastrana, Damon Bradshaw, Jason Lawrence, Buddy Antunez, Mike Brown and more. With founder Bill Cervera taking a step back, his step-son Jeff Springman and Brandon Dunn took over the reins and are guiding the brand back towards the top of the sport.

The Thunder Valley MX National produced the same overall results, but the action in the motos varied radically from what we've seen thus far in the young series. Big congratulations to first-time moto winners Hunter Lawrence and Chance Hymas, as their performances were the weekend highlights in the Rockies. We recap that and a whole lot more in this week's Kickstart Podcast, presented by Pro Taper.

The Hangtown MX National was hands-down, one of the best motocross races we've seen in years, and definitely the best performance of Chase Sexton's career. Fortieth to First is going to be a catchphrase when it comes to the Red Bull KTM rider, no doubt! We talk about everything that we saw and learned at the second round of the great outdoors!

Round 18 of the Supermotocross World Championship got underway at Fox Raceway yesterday, and it looks like the Pro Motocross Nationals are in store for some amazing action! Will it be the Summer of Jettson again? Yesterday's 1-1 scores might indicate that it will be, but we saw some inspiring performances from Chase Sexton, Hunter Lawrence, and Aaron Plessinger that give us hope for some different winners.
In the 250 class, the battles between race winner Haiden Deegan and runner-up Levi Kitchen kept us on our tiptoes as they matched each other's every move throughout the two motos. Tom Vialle, Joey Savatgy, Chance Hymas and more, kept both motos super exciting. We had a lot to talk about this morning! Enjoy a special Sunday installment of the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast, and enjoy your Memorial Day holiday!

The gate drops on the start of the 2024 Pro Motocross Nationals this weekend at Fox Raceway and we are amped! We got to see some pre-series racing last week at the Glen Helen Stopwatch Nationals, and it got us all fired up for this summer. It's gonna be so good! Who you got?

On this installment of the Factory Backing Midweek Podcast, we sit down with Geoff Patterson, who founded Leatt Brace USA decades ago and was essentially one of the partners who put the neck brace on the map. Since then, he's created an alcohol brand, an airline sleeping aid, and most recently, the Hitch Hotel. If you've attended a West Coast Supercross in the past two years, you've probably seen the Hitch Hotel on display with the Motoconcepts Honda team. Geoff is an interesting guy and a good friend; we think you'll enjoy this conversation!
