    Get ready to rev your engines and hit the dirt with our latest episode of the WannaBes Mobcast! We had the chance to chat with Jay Clark, the mastermind behind DirtBikeTV, who's been tearing up the off-road racing industry since the early 90s.

    But this wasn't your ordinary sit-down interview! We took the action to the next level by hitting the trails with Jay before we hit the studio. It was an epic ride that got our adrenaline pumping and gave us a chance to experience the thrill of off-road racing firsthand.

    Once we caught our breath, we dove into an awesome conversation with Jay about everything from his background to bike builds, accessories, riding, working on bikes, building a social following, and so much more! Jay's a wealth of knowledge and has worked with so many people in the industry, making him an enigma that bridges the gap between motorcycle mechanics and social influencers.

    We talked about how promotions in the industry have evolved over the years, from local pro riders and magazine articles to hundreds of thousands of followers across all of the social platforms. It's a testament to Jay's ability to adapt to new technologies and platforms and stay relevant in this exciting industry.

    So, what are you waiting for? Rev your engines and join us for an epic ride with Jay Clark and the DirtBikeTV crew! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to the WannaBes Mobcast to stay up to date with our latest adventures.

    Anthony Johnson Interview | Getting Started In Enduro Racing | WannaBes Mobcast | Podcast Ep: 2

    Check out our line of enduro, MX, MTB, and ADV helmet specific chin mounts for actions cameras! - https://wannabes.life/

    In our second episode of the WannaBes Mobcast we talk to Anthony Johnson, the up and coming EnduroCross racer who is making a name for himself not only on the track but also on social media as well.   

    Check out Anthony Johnson on Instagram here. https://www.instagram.com/anthonyjohnson_521/

    In our first episode we got to hear from Graham Jarvis who we all know is one of the greatest riders of all time. For this episode we decided to go to the other end of the spectrum and learn form someone who is just starting out his enduro racing career. Anthony Johnson is 19 years old and lives in Northern Idaho where he trains to take the podium.   

    We talked to Anthony about how he got started and what sparked his interest in EnduroCross, his training routine, riding in Idaho, cross training, and enduro techniques that were very insightful for anyone who rides. Among many other interesting things about Anthony, he rides a Sherco 300 which of course we had to know more about that as well as how he sets up his bike. Living in an area where we don't see many Sherco's, we found it very interesting to learn about the bikes form someone who has a lot of seat time on one.   

    We finished the podcast by talking a bit about how Anthony intends to make a career out of being a professional athlete, not only through the traditional means of sponsorship but also thought the use of social channels and other methods. Lastly we had a few bonus questions that lead to a great story and a good laugh that you'll have to watch the episode to hear about :)

    WannaBes MobCast Episode 1 Show Notes: 

    It's official, the WannaBes have a podcast! To get things started, we go big, all the way to top of Enduro riding with our first guest - Graham Jarvis.   For most enduro riders, G-Force Jarvis doesn't need much introduction. But we'll give ours anyway and then let the man himself explain how he describes his career.   

    We kick off our conversation with the Silent Assassin by chatting a bit about his recent knee injury, how it happened, and where it's left him these last few weeks. Graham Jarvis shows his competitive side, and gives us a sense for why he's held the top spot in Enduro competition for so long.   From there, we get into technique (use your clutch more he tells us), fitness routines (workout your way, just stay fit), how to stay hydrated on the bike, and why Jarvis crushed his own shed :). Jarvis tells us his take on staying in the game in your 40s and gives us a few hints about how to keep our heads in the race even when we're DONE (spoiler - you have to want it more!).   

    As business owners in the Enduro space, we were of course interested in the Graham Jarvis empire (as we call it) and we spend some time exploring his many business ventures from his world-class tour franchise to his signature race gear and of course, his 1 million Instagram followers. We ask Jarvis about his business plans for the near future, and encourage a class right here in CA (after COVID perhaps...).   

    We wrap our conversation with audience questions, shotgun style (message us if you want your question featured on our next show).   

    And that's a show folks!! Tune in each month for a new guest, and join us on our journey to learn the deepest secrets of Enduro magic ;)

    Looking for a Rekluse Clutch for your bike? - https://rekluse.com/  

    We sit down with the founder of Rekluse Clutches, Al Youngwerth, to talk all things plates, baskets, and springs.   

    Al explains how we came up with the idea for the iconic original Rekluse auto-clutch system, and how they nailed production on the first run! We get into the weeds, talking clutch technology like how friction plates actually grab, and what all that oil is doing sloshing around your clutch. We're clutch nerds and we loved learning the science behind the magic.   

    From there, we talk a bit about manual clutches, and what actually is the riding difference, how auto clutches can save your ass, and much more.

    CleverLever Interview | 50% Lighter Clutch + Much More | WannaBes Mobcast | Podcast Episode 15

    Check out the Clever Lever on the Midwest Mountain Engineering website here - https://www.midwestme.com/find-your-lever/midwest-moutain-engineering/find-the-right-lever 

    Today on the WannaBes Mobcast we are going to be talking about a hidden gem of a product called the Clever Lever from Midwest Mountain Engineering and we are bringing on none other than the engineer and designer of this great product, Steve Pohl. We got to learn about how Steve got the idea for the Clever Lever which of course had its roots in a broken bike story. Over the course of the last fourteen years, the Clever Lever has grown to cover a wide range of European bikes like KTM, Husqvarna, GasGas, Sherco, Beta, Husaberg, TM, and a few others. If you don't already know, the Clever Lever is a clutch lever that reduces the amount of force required to pull in the clutch lever by fifty percent thereby reducing fatigue and arm pump. This allows you to ride harder for longer and get the most out of your dirt bike. The Clever Lever also allows you to take advantage of the full length of the clutch pull stroke. 

    This means that you have to fully pull the clutch lever in to take the clutch plates from fully engaged to fully disengaged. This effectively increases the clutch contact patch throughout the length of the clutch pull which allows you to modulate the clutch better and apply the right about of power to the ground without losing traction. What is nice about the force reduction is that you only need to use one finger in order to modulate the clutch which means that you can have a shorter lever and more fingers wrapped around the handlebars for better control. If you are picky about the ergonomics and the look and feel of your controls, Midwest Mountain Engineering also sells a matching brake lever as well. One important thing that we talk about is how to install and tune the Clever Lever so that you are getting the most out of this great product. 

    As a product that lets you finely tune the adjustment, it is important to set the clutch lever up right. Otherwise, you may find that your clutch plates either won't fully engage or disengage. Included in your purchase are a very detailed set of installation instructions and Steves stresses how important it is to follow those instructions fully so that you don't end up frying a clutch. The best part is that Steve is there to help if you can't quite figure out how it works and he backs up the Clever Lever with a satisfaction guarantee. What we love about the Clever Lever is that it's not only a great product but it is as grassroots as you can get. Steve saw a solution to a problem and he solved it. That shows in the fact that Midwest Mountain Engineering has grown by word of mount from its inception and continues to grow on the basis of a great product.
