(00:01):
Welcome back to another episode of Real Housewives of Modo Ruts and Rumbles Edition.
I'm here with my buddy Dan Colvin.
What's up, Dan?
What's up?
It's been a, it's been a while.
I've been a couple of weeks.
I know, I know.
think we are through with Loretta's.
We are ready for Promoto to come back.
I think this was long enough.
It was this, this seems like a longer break than normal for whatever reason.
(00:24):
I don't know what it is, but it seems like definitely a longer break than normal.
Yeah, the two full weekends is brutal.
So it's just giving us a taste of what things are gonna be like after SMX, I guess.
But this is episode 24, which we're gonna dedicate to Mr.
Rick James, RJ Hampshire, which, you know, it's funny, like the picture of him from, whatwas the mudder two years ago where he went for it?
(00:46):
And it's just like his whole, what is it?
Was it Foxborough?
I think it's Foxborough.
Yeah.
So I remember telling, I messaged Ashley, his wife, and I was just like, he has the bestteeth.
Like even in that picture, it's just like mud and just.
pearly whites.
Yes, exactly.
And she was like, yeah, he bet he should be because I was a dental tech or something likeshe worked in like in dentistry or something.
And I was like, okay, that's fitting.
(01:06):
So, um, but while we were away, the whole world of moto basically shut down for two weeksbecause everybody goes to Loretta lens.
And if you're here and you don't know what Loretta lenses, that's okay.
I didn't know what it was about 10 years ago either, nor did I really care.
Let's be honest.
I did not care about amateur moto at all until our buddy, Daniel Blair went to KTM and waslike telling us
Who to care about.
(01:27):
ah I did not follow Deegan through his amateurs, which I have so much information aboutDeegan on 50s.
Like good night, because my video about the 50s, which we'll get there, has kind of blownup.
have you followed, you follow Cowie.
So you followed team green.
You follow the amateur program.
But have you like dedicated yourself to watching Loretta's?
(01:50):
know this year, we, know, life is crazy and we're kind of all over the place, but likewhat is your take on Loretta's 2025?
Uh, I'm to be completely honest with you.
I watched two motos the whole week.
Um, I just, life is busy, crazy right now.
Business is really good right now.
So I just, I have not had an opportunity to, um, watch a lot of it this week, which waskind of a bummer.
(02:11):
I think I caught the 50 vet class.
Oddly enough, I have a bunch of in that class, Chaps, Elvin and the, and and Leveque, um,from Western power sports.
He's a buddy of mine from here.
He did really well.
Um, but yeah, I didn't watch a lot of it.
Normally I'll,
Normally what I'll do is I'll take the TV schedule, right?
The racer TV schedule and I'll put it in my calendar.
(02:31):
know, hey, I want to watch this Moto.
So I make sure to set the time aside.
Cause I normally like to watch the super minis.
I love watching the 250 Pro Sport, ah 250 or open Pro Sport.
ah Those are the three main ones, but I didn't watch any of them this year, Ali.
None of them, not one Moto.
Yeah, I had a few that I was excited about.
(02:53):
I was excited about Hudson Short, um who did really well.
I tagged Jackie Short in it I like, I cried.
I cried in the office watching Hudson Short's first moto.
But I was watching mainly for my girl Lala, for Lachlan Turner, who, I mean, I'm nevergonna stop praising this family, but Lachlan went one, one, one for the women's
championships.
(03:13):
I'm like, homegirl dominated.
Like at one point she was like 45 seconds out in the last moto.
Really
It was wild.
like she, the girl is insane.
Like she's next level.
mean, no pun intended.
We'll get there next level.
But I was just so happy for the Turner family.
Like every time I saw my girl Nicole on TV, I was just like, yes, they're doing the most.
Like I'm so excited for them.
So she also raised the boys in the two 50 B.
(03:36):
Um, she, she did.
She had, mean, a couple get like tip overs, little things like that because she's so danggnarly.
Like she does not know how to go less than like 110.
And I think like against the boys, like she just gets up in her mind and um yeah, she wasup in like 16th place and went down.
I mean, she just spent so much energy on recovering that I don't, don't just don't knowthat she could have made a fair charge, but like, I mean, homegirl is legit.
(04:02):
Like she is the real deal.
She, mean, cause they're from Gardnerville, Nevada.
So they're, they're not too far for me, but they would come over to hang town a lot andride.
And I remember watching her because when she got on big bikes, I think she's been kind oflike going around the country more than when she was obviously on a little bike.
But when she was like on a super mini in fricking sane, just insane, she's definitelysomething special.
(04:27):
Her corner speed, I've said it a million times, but like I have seen her obviously like onthe women's races, which women's races are coming back.
All three last rounds will be pro women's class.
But when I went to club and like literally stood in between the turns and like watched hercorner speed, like every single time I was like, no, she's going to lay it over.
She's going to lay it over.
She's going to, no, she's got it.
She just rips in the corners.
(04:48):
And I mean, I was in the chat, the Loretta's chat, which
You would talk about a dumpster fire that chat.
Oh my gosh.
was.
oh Yeah, yeah, very embarrassing.
And it did get modified or moderated and they were like removing comments like in livetime, which was the strangest thing.
Like you'd read a comment and then it was just like poof and it would disappear, which Idon't like.
(05:13):
I don't like, I don't like that at all.
Like we're America.
We have freedom of speech.
Not to get Dan all riled up.
Hush.
we don't.
Apparently we don't.
This is a safe space from that, Dan.
But ah the chat, the chat loves Lala like a little too much.
Like I'm like, y'all need to chill.
(05:34):
Like also the girls class, the chat likes the girls class too.
And I'm like, you guys understand that these girls are like 11 to 16?
I digress.
But the muting of the chat was, was not a good look, but I mean, everybody loves Lala.
I mean, it's just the coolest thing ever.
So.
Meanwhile, big brother Lux was taking his pro tour at club.
And I just, my mama heart like to think about having one day Lux, Lala and the wholeTurner fam at club would just be incredible.
(06:02):
Like I think it's so cool.
They bought a lot.
They're going to build.
I just think it would be the coolest thing ever.
So uh Lala has one more year in her contract.
Lux is up right now.
So we're putting good vibes out in the universe for the Turner fam to all be backtogether.
Wonder will they move out there permanently you think or are going to stay and go?
yeah, yeah.
So they own a house in Chattanooga, Tennessee right now just to get them like to the Eastcoast.
And they're trying to figure out like what they're doing or whatnot.
(06:24):
But no, they're going to be fully a club like Brandon.
mean, we've heard this, know, so Brandon is just a machine at club.
And so they've got like several different plots that people can pick and build on.
And they're going to be like right next to the Reeds.
Like it's crazy.
Like just walking around like Chad and Ellie Reed, you know, so it's
if I would have known more, I would have bought the lot that read bought that that waslike, I don't know.
(06:47):
Daniel told me how sick club was and like, you of course I believe him, but like you'vebeen there.
So you abs, you know, you've seen it with your own eyes, but, um, I think Kiefer did avideo, like a tour, landing and stuff.
And that place is incredible.
Like incredible.
would move back there for that.
It's pretty cool.
mean, Nicole is pushing hard.
(07:07):
She's like, when are you moving out here?
When are you going be my neighbor?
So I did tell Tim we are going to get, we're going on our first RV trip this week so wecan start like flipping RVs and maybe get a motor home one day.
Like we're going to go to Loretta's and like Tim's going to work on RVs and pay for ourtrip and I'll do the podcast.
But I was like, I could not, I could not do the motor home life.
Like it's so gnarly.
Like I'm just like, no.
(07:29):
would be badass.
I'm such a princess, I have no shame saying that, I couldn't do it.
See, I told Sabrina like I would be perfectly okay living in like a one bedroom apartment.
Like I don't need, I can live in an RV, problem.
As long as I have a place to put my dirt bikes and work on my dirt bikes, I would beperfectly content.
Well, club has that and more.
So you would be, you would be happy there.
(07:51):
It's a pretty cool place for sure.
But other cool things that happened at Loretta's other than Lala.
I mean, that's what I was here for.
That's what all my content was.
you menna a girl getting second in the 65 CC seven to age seven to nine limited class,which is insane.
We also had Rayson who won the overall won the whole thing.
(08:11):
first girl to ever do it.
So we had two girls like showing up in boys classes, which is incredible.
And then you would like to speak to the Timberman domination, like it's cousins Enzo andother cousin.
So somewhere in that family, they've got some wild dirt bike jeans, but very impressiverun.
so this is what I love about Enzo Timmerman is that I did catch like little bits andpieces of, of, didn't watch his motos, but all the clips on Instagram and stuff.
(08:39):
Um, he is, he's good at super cross.
He's actually really, he's very underrated at super cross.
Just, I think this next year in futures, really, really good.
Uh, he's really good at outdoors, but I mean, pure domination and 250 pro sport forTimmerman.
But the thing I like about Timmerman now, listen, I, I, I do not knock all these trainingcamps and stuff.
(09:01):
think they work, you know, for, for most people, they're great.
Right.
But in the Timmerman does not live and ride at a training facility.
Now, with that being said, his parents do own DT one MX park, um, down in Bakersfield.
So they do own a track, but, um, he's not on this like program that all these other kids,he kind of just kind of reminds me of Tomac to be honest, like just.
(09:26):
does his own thing and works for him.
I think that's really cool.
He's going to be really good.
uh
though, he doesn't have a pro contract.
And that's what I'm saying.
I hope that I hope that Cali can hang onto this kid.
Cause I mean, with Landon Gordon moving over to star Yamaha, um, there's really no, mean,there's some younger kids like, um, rider he's, he's coming up, but yeah, there w there's,
(09:57):
there's nobody in that group.
So they really need to hang on to Timberman if they can.
So we'll see what happens.
I mean, it's just everything is so backlogged, like the 450 classes backlogged, the 250classes backlogged.
It's like, I mean, if you're a team owner, you're looking at this and you're just like, Idon't know what to do because everybody's sticking around for so long.
So, I mean, it's a good problem to have as a spectator, but not as a team owner for sure.
(10:17):
So um I also was very impressed by Enzo.
So that was pretty cool.
I think he won the young Horizon Award.
What is it?
Horizon Award?
Yeah.
I mean, he absolutely deserved it.
I mean, that's an incredible ride.
Uh, but Yamina, uh, she's from here.
She's from Northern California.
So it's funny story.
Jacob Hayes trained Yamina.
(10:39):
Like when she literally got off of training wheels, she did it.
She did a class out here.
Uh, Jacob did like a two day thing and she could barely, Ali, she could barely ride a PW50 without training wheels.
mean,
So to see her go from that to where she's at now is it's incredible.
(11:01):
And I don't think her parents ride either.
They were not like moto people.
So just kind of cool too.
and they've got like a toddler too.
Like I was following them like the whole week and watching the content that obviously likeher parents, you know, manage the account, but they have like another like young kid.
And I'm like, this is so exhausting to watch.
Like, I don't know how you were doing like kudos to you men as parents.
(11:21):
Like you menna, if your mom hears this, like come chat.
Cause like, first of all, I want to like high five you and hug you and ask you all thequestions.
Like how are you doing it?
And like what caffeine is being pumped into your veins?
Cause that is so cool.
We're very excited for the show up of girlies um at Loretta's.
Other things that we've kind of teased that if you follow me on Instagram, you can watchthe saga over the past 48 hours, but there was some drama in the P-dub class, which I have
(11:51):
now been schooled is apparently commonplace.
Like everybody cheats in the 50s, which is so sad.
Gosh, like what?
I mean, I knew that like the Deegans had been accused of cheating in the fifties.
Like I have, mean, the, engine builder who did that way back when I've got hisinformation, someone was talking about swing arm links.
(12:12):
mean, so I, I was naive.
I will say that, but the more this story developed, like there was a fight, there waspeople jumping the fence that weren't supposed to be there.
The police were called, all of these bikes were stripped down.
Here's the thing that gets me about this.
So
The kid in question, his name is Knox Ray.
He is the son of Jessica Patterson, who was an ex-women's pro rider and Eddie Ray.
(12:32):
They own Next Level, which is why I laughed earlier um in South Carolina.
And apparently he doesn't even ride that much, but like, you know, they own Next Level andthey put him out on track, whatever.
But his bike was protested after Moto One.
So this is the part that really gets me is that yes, it was impounded after Moto One, buthe was still able to race and get podium time and get all the accolades and get all the
(12:55):
glory.
And then at the end of the week, they strip it down and what do you know?
It's got a 60 cc kit in it among like dozens of other infractions.
So there's multiple things that make me mad about this, but I just don't understandletting him continue to race when everybody is like, listen to the bike.
You can tell it's, it's not normal.
Like I don't get it.
60 CC PW 50 is very distinct.
(13:19):
It's got a very distinct sound.
So you're never going to get away with it ever.
And so that's what blows me away that.
But this happens every, and it's not just that.
mean, there's, have titanium drive shafts.
They, know, 60 CCs, those are, are probably the two big ones, but
This happens every year and, it's this, there's, there's only three solutions to this.
(13:44):
Okay.
One being get rid of the class altogether, which, which I, I have said that and I'vegotten actually a buddy of mine.
Uh, we, you know, it wasn't a heated argument, but he disagreed with me, of course,because his, his kid is in the PW class.
He was there at Loretta's.
So he saw this go down firsthand for one, but, or.
(14:08):
Yamaha supplies 42 bone stock Yamaha PW fifties.
Because then it's the pure rider.
You take the motorcycle out of it and that's, that's it.
Or, or you just make it an open class, which is crazy, right?
Because now you start getting into like guys are going to start making aftermarketcylinders.
(14:32):
They're going to go CCs to 90 CC.
mean that, yeah.
it in Australia.
All of all of my, like I've got, I shouldn't say all of these Australian followers, butI've got a few who, their kids raised 50s in Australia and it's completely like Wild West
because it's open.
I don't know, that one scares me, that option.
does because it's, mean, the opportunities are endless, right?
(14:54):
I mean, I don't know, you'd have to restrict it somehow, some way, having to use stockcases or I don't know.
I don't know what the solution is.
In my opinion.
I think that they should get rid of the class.
Um, it's probably not, it's probably not a popular opinion to be quite honest with you,but you know, these, these are, these are kids, right?
(15:16):
And,
do agree that these kids should learn at a very young age discipline and you know, how toride and race.
I fully support that, right?
You could do that at the local level, right?
It's uh for one, it's so expensive.
It is so expensive and shout out to all these PWA, I mean, all the families to be honest,from PWA to 450s, the cost that you incurred to go to this race and not only the race.
(15:44):
all the qualifiers and everything is insane.
So shout out you for, I know families are making massive sacrifices.
They're mortgaging their homes for it.
It is insane, right?
But the four to six PW50 class is not going to shape a kid's career in any way, shape orform.
(16:05):
It's just, and this has been an issue for years.
It's, there's always somebody cheating.
Always have to tear these bikes down.
And at the end of the day, the kids suffer because you know, if you're, if you're a kidthat got second or third place and you're on a legit motorcycle, that's a pretty shitty
(16:27):
feeling for a little guy or a little gal to, have, you know, they didn't cheat, but theystill got second or third.
But by the time that they de que them, they could get, they, you don't want to win likethat.
Right.
It's just, it's it's just, it's just not cool.
It's not a good look.
And now the fact that we have these parents fighting in the pits, like full on, I mean,that's, I see it at the local level.
(16:52):
I see it at the local tracks.
These mini parents are absolutely gnarly.
And it's like, I don't know what the answer is.
Again, it's, my opinion is probably not a popular one.
I like to either get rid of the class altogether or Yamaha supplies, 42 stock bikes.
They're
They're a box stock bike impounded.
get the bike at the line and you ride it.
(17:14):
That's what I would be a fan of either one of those two, but I mean, it'll never happen.
It'll never happen.
Alley because it's, it's just money, right?
I mean, it seems like it would be such a good PR move for Yamaha.
Like I'm thinking about like the KTM juniors, like the only 50 my kids have ever seen likein the flesh because my kids don't ride our KTMs.
So if you had, well, there's four, four 50 classes, comma 50 CC classes.
(17:39):
Like if you uh had 160 bikes that are all Yamaha, I mean, that's great PR, but yeah, we'renot there yet, but Yamaha get on it.
in the PWs are they're so cheap.
They haven't changed since the eighties.
Literally.
It's the same exact bike that I had when I was, you know, four years old is all I had whenshe started.
(18:00):
So it's the same motorcycle that the tooling's paid for the cost of those bikes to Yamahais nothing.
Right.
So they could easily do it.
That would be the most fairest way to do it because then it truly is the rider.
Right.
But you know,
It's, it's, it's weird Ali, because you know, you look, you have kids, right?
(18:23):
A four year old and a six year old is a big difference.
They grow a lot on four to six.
So.
that's what my, well, no, right now they're five and seven, but they were four and six.
They're different animals.
Totally.
So, you know, the weight difference, obviously weight is going to be huge in the PW class.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Those are the only two solutions that I see that are valuable in my opinion.
(18:47):
But it'll never change.
Where this has been going on for years, it's never going to change.
Or the parents that they need to be held accountable.
Is that, is that a one year ban?
Is that a two year ban?
They need to make it where if you cheat and you get caught, there is a substantial penaltyfor it.
(19:10):
Yeah, yeah, I people all put my comments that were like, I'm awaiting their one year AMAban.
And I'm like, that's pretty intense, but I understand.
I mean, I do.
So.
The problem with it is, it's just an integrity thing, right?
It's an integrity thing and cheating is always going to take place.
The same parents that are cheating in the 50 class are going to cheat on 65s and 85.
(19:33):
You know, it's more apparent in the 50 CC class, right?
Because into some of these other bikes, it really, and some of these other classes, itreally did the rider does shine a little bit more outweigh the motorcycle.
But they're.
It's just, it's, I don't know.
It's just an integrity thing and that hard to change.
(19:54):
Yeah.
And I mean, I feel so bad.
some of the kids that were further down the roster that got bumped up, like even theirbikes got stripped down.
Like I imagine watching that and just being like, what is happening?
And then also they were found to be fine, you know?
So I'm, glad that those families like had that, you know, vindication, but all of this ishappening.
And then the cat fight and I mean, which also I need to say slowly watched his video.
(20:18):
I didn't make it past the fight.
Um, but
That video was also sent to me.
I did not like poach it from him.
So I want to clear it up.
Slow, he's got enough on his back right now.
The stuff that he's walked into.
So, but women fighting over P dubs.
mean, I know there was more going on there because it was like a step mom and a bio momand an auntie and a grandma and blah, blah, blah.
(20:40):
So it's like, it's not necessarily about the racing, but it happened there around thefifties.
And it's just like, guys, come on, like, come on, this is not helping the sport.
So anyhow.
I know, man.
I love these moto moms.
think they're, they're awesome.
The passion they have for the sport I think is, is really cool.
Like, you know, Kirsten Lewis, uh, she's awesome.
(21:00):
Right.
And, I, she kind of started that, that whole thing, right.
With the vlogs and just, you know, following Mav around and now you have all these motomoms that are doing the same thing.
It's like, it has grown substantially.
But ladies chill, chill.
(21:20):
It is okay.
It's just motorcycle racing.
It's just amateur.
It's just, it's mini bike racing.
It does not matter.
does not matter.
Look at Evan Blair.
Look at Daniel.
So it was not a superstar on many bikes, right?
But he's learning how to ride.
So he was good.
He was, he was, he was very good, right?
(21:41):
Won a lot of races and stuff, but he wasn't a superstar, you know, factory rider, butlook, he's at club now.
riding supercross, he's training on supercross, Evan's 14 now I think, right?
14, 14.
He's gonna be good.
He's gonna be super cross.
And that's when it matters.
It matters when the money is on the table, chill.
(22:04):
It'll be okay.
Yep.
I agree.
I'm one of my rules, you know, with this podcast is like, want to educate, I want toentertain, and I want to make Kathy Tomak proud.
And they had no way you would have seen Kathy Tomak throwing down, pulling hair, draggingpeople to the ground.
that's, that's all I'll say about that.
yes.
(22:26):
Yes.
So I have to know, bless his heart.
just, can't, I just can't get through his videos.
I'm sure he's a nice guy.
just, can't, I can't do it.
I see the clips and stuff.
Is it true that they actually like removed comments in the chat when somebody mentionedhis name?
(22:48):
yeah, yeah.
They were censoring things in the chat.
I mean, if you said anything about Tim Cotter, if he said anything about Slowy, there wasall things about like saying everything was gay.
And so was just like trying to filter that out.
But I'll say this about Slowy.
He put out the video and he's talking about being, you know, selling everything and liketraveling to the races and filming and doing the van life.
I'm like, cool, good on you.
um What he's in hot water for right now was posting the Jeremy Han video from Washugalwhere the bike like cartwheels down the hill.
(23:15):
um
And I think what people are missing on this that there's a number of reasons why I'm surethat MX Sports is not happy about this.
But one thing is like he is videotaping.
I think, I think this is what he's doing.
He was videotaping the screen or someone videotaped the screen and sent it to him.
So it's literally the broadcast, which MX Sports owns the intellectual property rights to.
(23:36):
So when you videotape that and you take it to YouTube for a monetized channel, they cansue you because that is their intellectual property.
So when he shows up at Loretta's,
They're already like, you know, he's on their shit list, you know, just move over, Cooksy.
So they served him.
Yeah.
And they were like, get off the property, get out of here.
Apparently the documents that they served him either like didn't have his like legal nameor didn't spell it right or whatever.
(24:01):
So like, it wasn't legally correct, which I kind of also love, but you got to be carefulwith the like legal side of things.
Like it's, it's the same reason why I removed the videos with the kid that was in thirdplace.
I think he finished in.
second place because I used some of his pictures.
His trainer was saying some pretty crazy things.
Also now the trainer is in my comments telling me to get a fucking life.
(24:21):
But I'm like, bro, you put the comments out there.
So also posted that.
But I removed the images because I was like, okay, it's your kid.
He wasn't directly involved in this.
I mean, even though.
intellectual property is a really hard thing to like pursue and protect.
So it's just like, you got to think about the bigger picture here.
Like if someone is making money off of it,
and you're trying to make money off of them making money, you're gonna piss some peopleoff.
(24:44):
So that's my skinny with slowie.
I want to address something else too, real quick that you just, you just sparked myinterest in something.
I don't know if everybody knows, but my buddy Zeb Armstrong out here in California ownsHangtown, Riverfront, and, uh, the sandbox in firmly Nevada.
And he was shut down this year for like three or four weeks because of insurance, right?
(25:07):
Insurance today is a, is a hot topic right now with not motocross tracks, but any type ofsporting venue in general, right?
But racing venues are.
are being hit the most hardest because it's, you know, it's dangerous, whatever, right?
What we need to stop doing as a fan and member of this sport is we need to stop talkingabout lawsuits and suing and blah, blah, blah, blah.
(25:33):
The whole Chris Canning video where he hit his head on the tree and, know, unfortunatethat tree has been there for, I don't know how long, forever, right?
Mm-hmm.
a writer.
You got to be aware of your surroundings.
Yes, shit happens.
It was, it was an accident, right?
But we have to get out of the comments and stop talking about the suing and the lawsuitsand oh my God, MX sports is going to go under because you know, Chris Canyon is going to
(25:58):
own the sport now and stop.
Just stop because you guys are making it worse.
The more, or this gets put, these things gets posted, talked about, commented about themore people see it.
lawyers get in, know, they, these slime ball lawyers, they try to find loopholes andeverything.
We have to stop bringing attention to these unfortunate circumstances.
(26:21):
If we want to continue to have tracks and places to ride, stop.
Just stop.
You're not cool.
You're not, you're not funny.
That's what drives me insane.
Alley, just these keyboard warriors.
They think that they're, they're saying something groundbreaking and earth shattering andthey're with their comment.
You look like an idiot.
(26:42):
Stop.
Just fricking stop.
And that goes for certain people in the media as well.
People in the media that make these videos and stuff and talk about it and you know, AMAis going down, MX Sports is going down.
Just stop.
It's not a good look.
We as average consumers, average writers, weekend warriors, racers at the local level, wewant our tracks to stay alive.
(27:10):
You're making it worse for us.
I'll get off my soapbox, sorry.
no, no, no, it's good.
It got me thinking about some other legal drama around the sport, which um I couldn'tdecide if I want to talk about this or not, but there's an interesting angle I want to
talk about, and it's the Lawrence camp versus Myrtle.
I went through all of these documents online.
(27:31):
Everything's publicly available.
You just have to search the name of the county where they were filed in Florida.
I think it's Paso's County.
can't remember.
They have subpoenaed so many people.
Chay Sexton's on the list, Keir Sexton's on the list, Adam Bailey's on the list.
I mean, so they subpoenaed all these people, uh not them, their record, the text records.
uh So I've been staying on top of this.
(27:52):
The funny thing about this that I don't quite understand is from a very reputable source,I have heard that Hunter is way more involved in this case than he should be.
And let me explain what that means.
So you have millions of dollars, millions of dollars in the bank.
and you're also a professional writer.
Why would you not just hand things over to your lawyers and say, cool, you do it, you takecare of it, I'm gonna focus on my career, whatever.
(28:18):
That's not what Hunter has been doing.
Hunter has been like personally texting people, trying to move this thing along.
So I don't know if it's just, it's a personal vendetta.
would not blame him if it's personal because these people have, mean, the Lawrence familyhave been through hell and back with, you know, leaving their country, moving to two
different continents.
Like it probably feels very, very wounding to have, you know, what they think is, youknow, one of their best friends and Lucas Myrtle stab him in the back.
(28:44):
But I don't understand why you would get so personally involved.
Like you have a job to do on a motorcycle, like leave it to the lawyers.
And also like if you want to just drown Lucas in legal fees, which honestly I thoughtthat's what they were going to do.
They're just going to keep filing whatever, um do that.
You know, like Lucas keeps teasing like these, you know, the
(29:04):
Episode two is gonna drop or whatever and then the court case is gonna get dismissed.
So he teased that the court case is gonna get dismissed last week, the week before that.
And so I went and looked, no, didn't get dismissed.
Lucas got dropped by his lawyers.
Lucas got fired.
So I'm like, guys, this is not a good look.
It's not a good look for the Lawrence's, it's not a good look for Myrtle, it's not a goodlook for the sport.
(29:25):
But I don't understand from Hunter's perspective why you need to be personally involved.
So I'll leave it at that.
But similar to
eh Is it is it wrong to want to see more episodes though?
No, no, it's not.
mean, that's what I'm here for apparently.
I've now become Moto TMZ, you know?
(29:47):
So I think that we will.
We'll see more.
Moto TMZ.
I think I know who it was.
I'm not going to say it though.
And I was wondering, I was wondering if.
was called Moto TMZ and she was like, people call me that.
And I was like, no, no, send them to me, send them to me.
I'm Moto TMZ.
(30:08):
Well, she got pulled into some drama about the fifties because her son trains at nextlevel and she was at Loretta's.
and she's like, y'all, I don't want to talk about it.
Like, you know, I, my kid trains with Jessica.
Jessica's an insane trainer.
She's great.
But then she put up like a, ask me anything while we're on the road.
Of course, everybody's going to blow up the questions about that race.
So.
I girl, girl, I was saying this to her.
(30:30):
was like, girl, tag me and be like, if you want the tea, go to Ali.
Because I honestly, I had probably 50 messages from people that were at Loretta's 50.
And I literally just copied and paste, copy and paste, copy and paste into an AI bot.
And I was like, summarize this for me and tell me what happened because everybody who wasthere, they had videos, they had pictures.
(30:52):
I was like, I can't.
And Kristen, Kirsten, Kirsten, my bad.
She was there, like.
I think she said, I think she said she didn't even watch the second two motos of thefifties.
So she was like, I only saw one.
So like, don't even ask me.
Like my kids on 65s get out of here.
So I'm happy to be moto TMZ, like happy to, because people talk and they probablyshouldn't, but they do.
And if I hear the same story from three different camps, like I'm gonna say it, period.
(31:17):
And there's other things like, Dan, you know this, like we've talked off air.
There are things that I know that I will never say on record because I'm not aboutdestroying people's marriages.
or destroying people's careers, but this industry is way too small.
Like people talk and nothing is secretive.
So I'm just here.
(31:39):
Same, that's how I feel.
The more I know the, yeah, there's a lot of the underbelly of the sport that I don't loveall the way, that is for sure.
So um let's, one thing I do know, one thing I do know.
I got the 2026 Supergirl schedule and I was so happy about it and I'm not going to post itbecause it's only with the teams right now.
(32:03):
But I was wanting to plan another sweet party, which you didn't get to come to our sweetparty because Sabrina got in her car accident.
Do remember that?
That was terrible.
my gosh.
As I was saying that, I was like, why wasn't Dan there?
Holy shit.
um But Houston is back on the schedule and I can drive to Houston.
So we've got other options.
We can either do Dallas, which is where I live, or Houston.
(32:24):
But um I will say this, there are some interesting Northern rounds in February that are inan open air stadium.
And I'm like, are we prepared to race in snow?
Because that is a very distinct possibility.
Like, what would happen?
I know what you're talking about and I am like WTF, like what, what?
(32:45):
m
What if it snows?
What if it's, has it ever snowed?
I'm thinking about like Packers games and stuff, but I can't think of Moto.
it's snowed at one race a couple of years ago, not enough to like cover the track oranything like that, but that's a risk.
sleeting at Foxboro this year, but it was just muddy and sloppy, but I don't know,
(33:07):
That one is a I would be perfectly okay if they remove that off the like, remove thatstadium off the schedule altogether.
Have you ever been to that city?
It's weird.
It's weird city.
(33:27):
uh
Well, and that city, mean, that stadium, like we've always had bad racing there.
Okay.
It's Seattle.
Hello.
It's Seattle.
Was that where the lime gate was?
Where Kenny had the lime burns and Bowers?
Wasn't Bowers really like bitching about the lime stuff?
I don't think it was Seattle though.
(33:48):
Was it not?
Maybe it was Toronto.
I have to go back, that was a long time ago.
Oh yeah.
So no, maybe I'll look it up, but whatever, whatever race that was where they put way toomuch lime in the dirt.
Ooh, that was bad.
So any who I'm very excited about the schedule.
There's some interesting things on it.
Houston is back.
(34:08):
So if you follow me on real housewives moto on Instagram, please like hit me a comment ora DM and like, let me know what area of the country you're in.
And if you would be willing to throw down for some Romy tickets for a sweet party, um, we,know, it was so fun.
We did it in Arlington.
had.
80 listeners at Anaheim one.
That was insane.
I don't know that I would do 80 again, but it's just so fun to like, it was wild.
(34:32):
There were some people, it's also very strange, being doing things on the internet likethis, like people who know me, but I don't know them.
So I'm, I feel that on another level now.
So that was weird.
Um, what about, well, mean, if you do Dallas again, I'll come.
Okay, well, I will be at Dallas regardless, whether we get a suite or not is TBD, butyeah, it's.
(34:56):
to Dallas no matter what then.
Cause I do want to go.
I have, that's one round I've never been, I actually been to Houston.
I've been to Houston, but I've not been to Dallas.
Houston's not my favorite because that stadium is so tall that like the angles of it don'treally work well.
So like if you're in the top tier, I mean, if you're the top tier at like Arlington, youhave the giant Jumbotron, it's beautiful.
But if you're in the top tier at NRG, which is Houston Stadium, like you got like vertigo,like the angles don't quite work.
(35:20):
And anyhow, I'm just glad cause we have two races that I can drive to.
um There's a few others that we could drive to, but those would be the two closest forsure.
So.
um
Other things that we have heard about just kind of in these off weeks is you have heardmaybe that Kiroly is coming back to do some more R &D.
Maybe.
(35:40):
heard Cairo is going to be back for probably two of them, maybe all three potentially.
I think that he's going to be selected for team Italy for designation.
that's what I heard.
they're trying to get some more R and D on the bike and get them in a little bit morecomfortable spot.
So that'd be cool to have Cairo.
I like that dude.
(36:03):
He's.
I think she's hot.
very hot.
She was wearing a DC like mock Jersey at the race this weekend and like these like thighhigh leather boots.
And I'm like, you're so cool.
Like I love her.
And she's so nice to me on Instagram.
Like we've never met and like told me to come like hang out with her to race.
(36:24):
And I was like, Oh my God.
like, yeah, I want to come hang out.
Like I'll get in my car and start driving 18 hours now.
So I would love to meet them.
would just, I would totally fangirl like so hard.
So I love that.
What did you think of Dylan Ferrendis signing with Ducati?
I think it's a good fit.
Yeah.
I think it's a good fit.
Um, he's, he's good at super cross, obviously an outdoor champions, two 50 super crosschampion too.
(36:45):
Um, they probably got them pretty cheap.
So I think with having Dylan and Barsha on the team, it's a wild mix, but I think it's, Ithink it's a good fit for, you know, for, for that new team.
I think that it's going to be interesting, right?
(37:07):
Um, I think they're going to be a good spot because they probably got both guys at a D ona decent salary.
Didn't have to pay him too much money.
know Barsa, he wanted to go back to you.
He wants to stick to Troy Lee.
Like he loves Troy and loves that whole thing.
He fits in so good there, but they're both, they're both older, not older.
(37:28):
younger than I am.
They're young.
They're exactly, they're old for the sport.
So it's going to be interesting to see.
know who will take those rides in a couple of years, right?
When the motorcycle is a little bit more developed and that team is more developed.
I think it's really cool.
Everybody that I've talked to, ah the bike is, I think we talked about this a little bit,got a few little challenges, but ah the engine I think is, from what I hear is incredible.
(37:55):
So even though it's on the slower side, I think there's really, there's some potentialthere for sure.
Yeah.
mean, Tony was what?
Ninth at one of the nationals.
Like, and he's like 39 years old.
I he's a bad dude regardless, but the fact that he could do that on that bike at his age,like that is just insane to me.
So.
(38:15):
I heard that that they've been testing some suspension, some chassis parts and stuff.
And they've been testing like a, a new linkage system for the bike.
it, Tony could go like two or three seconds faster with this other linkage system.
um, once they get those types of things figured out, I mean, what he was able to do on arelatively stock motorcycle off the couch.
(38:39):
mean, he's, Tony's an old guy, right?
He told me that old guy is absolutely incredible.
Yeah, it's wild.
And they have a newborn.
I always have to point it out when people are racing with newborns.
I'm like, I'm so impressed.
Chase and Cody.
um That team is going to be so European.
Like now I'm thinking about it.
So you've got Dylan and Nastasia, not nostalgia.
(39:00):
Daniel.
We'll never live that down.
Nastasia, she's a delight.
Her and I messaged a little bit about they have Bengal cats, which are like the giantcats.
um She has an Instagram just for them and they're adorable.
um
But Amber, Barsha's wife is from England.
like Barsha is the only like Merkin in the group.
So like it's going to be a very European Ducati team.
(39:22):
I'm here for it.
I'm so here for it.
So yeah, it's going to be fun.
I cannot wait.
met this weekend?
Axel Hodges.
So they were in town uh and my graphics guy hit me up and said, hey, Axel's in town.
He wants to ride HangTown.
Can I give him your number?
(39:43):
So I said, sure.
So his dad called me up, Philip, and asked if they can come out.
said, no problem.
So was him.
It was a couple of the unknown industries guys.
The Harleys and stuff the wheelies and stuff the supercross But I'll tell you like youknow people can be in our sport.
I've met a lot people they could be kind of Kind of be do strikes right kind ofstandoffish Axel and his dad the nicest individuals that you could ever possibly meet I
(40:15):
Mean the coolest people in the world um so there was a guy one of my buddies he came upshort on a triple it hanged down and
When he came up short, the linkage on his Honda 450 snapped in half.
Like, yeah, it was gnarly.
Who's the guy that picks up Dwayne off the side of the track and takes them back to histruck?
It's Hodges.
(40:37):
Another one of my buddy's kid wadded himself up, hit neutral off the face of a jump.
Who's the first one to him?
Axle Hodges.
The dude was the nicest person, but yeah, the bike scale's alley.
he's a freak.
like if if Jet, I feel like Axel is like the freestyle version of Jet, where it's justlike the bike is just an extension of like their body, like they're like, this sounds so
(41:03):
dramatic.
It just feels like their soul is like one with the bike.
Like when I watch Axel's videos, I'm just like, it does not even look hard.
Like it just looks like he's like, yeah, I'm going to I'm going to decide I'm going to doa thing and then I do the thing.
So I think that's I think that's incredible that they are so down to earth because thosekids will remember that forever.
So, know, like the fly 150 jump, the big jump at Hangtown.
So he, we were talking, he's like, you think it'd be okay if I back flipped that?
(41:30):
And I'm like, um, are you serious?
Yeah, I think it's got enough lip on it.
And I'm like, I mean, yeah, I, I'm not going to tell you how to ride, you know, like, ifyou can do it, go ahead and do it.
He ended up not doing it because he's the lip on it was.
(41:50):
It was marginal.
Like he thought he could probably pull it off, but I was like, Hey, you know, like, don't,chance it.
He's like, yeah, I just came off a broken femur.
don't really want to do that again.
You know, so, maybe I'll just, so instead he just does the gnarliest whips.
then he would, he would like off this one other jump.
would jump, do a no footed can can to a wheelie when he lands standing on his seat, like
(42:15):
It doesn't make sense.
It was, it's just mind blowing.
yeah, I would put him right up there with Aaron Plesinger.
He's a genuine human.
I love, I hey, this my, my little, my little charm on my, on my microphone.
It's AP's hat.
Somebody asked me on one of the episodes.
(42:35):
Yeah.
Um, it's from my girl, Noel, who, uh, she designs these, which I also need to get with herbecause, um, a lot, a lot of riders are changing teams and a lot of riders are changing,
uh, energy drinks.
So we need to get some of those updated.
Um, I'm at you chasing Eli.
So got to some of those updated cause I got to new stickers, which speaking of, um,Romy's, if you have not gotten yourself,
(42:56):
a Romi sticker for free.
Hit the link in my bio on my Instagram.
I've got a few more of those that I want to get out before I start the next round.
Working on merch, working on all the things, working on a sweet party now that we know wehave Houston.
So they're coming.
But if you guys found me this week through Shifty Gate, welcome.
ah We're glad you're here.
(43:16):
I would love to know more about just the drama around amateur moto.
Like people were like,
the next episode you need to do is on cheating spouses, which I was like, I don't want togo there.
Like tell me, tell me all the tea, but I'm not making a video about it.
No, I'm not going to ruin Liz, but I want to know the stories.
I'm such a, I'm such a gossip.
(43:39):
I have to.
I know, I know, I know, but.
with who and who's good in bed and who isn't?
Yeah.
Like trainers, like moms sleeping with trainers and like, okay, we're going to wrap thisup on that note.
(44:00):
Dan, thank you so much for coming to chat with me.
You always hold it down for like the technical stuff that I just, I'm like, I don't know.
I don't know what a drive shaft is.
You know, so I appreciate that.
sorry.
I was a little lackluster on my Loretta's knowledge this year.
I said, business has been insane.
July was like one of my best months I've ever had.
So, uh, yeah, it's going good.
just, yeah, my, my, my bandwidth was not there to watch, but coming back into the promo tocross season, are we going to Vegas?
(44:28):
Are you going to Vegas?
I need, I need to figure that out.
So.
My group is constantly shifting because there's some privateers on it who have injuriesand we're trying to figure out who's going.
And so at one point we were getting like a huge Airbnb.
I don't know where I'm staying, but the flights are booked.
I will be there.
I'll be there with bells on.
(44:48):
I'll make it happen.
I might come in for one day, but I'll make it happen.
We'll record Ruts and Rumbles live edition after the finale of this whole 31 round shitshow.
Dr.
Jett and Hayden Beat, everybody.
OK, let's go.
Yeah, that's it.
What a way to end.
All right, Dan, we'll talk soon.
Thanks, friend.
see ya.
Welcome back to another episode of Real Housewives of Modo Ruts and Rumbles Edition.
I'm here with my buddy Dan Colvin.
What's up, Dan?
What's up?
It's been a, it's been a while.
I've been a couple of weeks.
I know, I know.
think we are through with Loretta's.
We are ready for Promoto to come back.
I think this was long enough.
It was this, this seems like a longer break than normal for whatever reason.
(00:24):
I don't know what it is, but it seems like definitely a longer break than normal.
Yeah, the two full weekends is brutal.
So it's just giving us a taste of what things are gonna be like after SMX, I guess.
But this is episode 24, which we're gonna dedicate to Mr.
Rick James, RJ Hampshire, which, you know, it's funny, like the picture of him from, whatwas the mudder two years ago where he went for it?
(00:46):
And it's just like his whole, what is it?
Was it Foxborough?
I think it's Foxborough.
Yeah.
So I remember telling, I messaged Ashley, his wife, and I was just like, he has the bestteeth.
Like even in that picture, it's just like mud and just.
pearly whites.
Yes, exactly.
And she was like, yeah, he bet he should be because I was a dental tech or something likeshe worked in like in dentistry or something.
And I was like, okay, that's fitting.
(01:06):
So, um, but while we were away, the whole world of moto basically shut down for two weeksbecause everybody goes to Loretta lens.
And if you're here and you don't know what Loretta lenses, that's okay.
I didn't know what it was about 10 years ago either, nor did I really care.
Let's be honest.
I did not care about amateur moto at all until our buddy, Daniel Blair went to KTM and waslike telling us
Who to care about.
(01:27):
ah I did not follow Deegan through his amateurs, which I have so much information aboutDeegan on 50s.
Like good night, because my video about the 50s, which we'll get there, has kind of blownup.
have you followed, you follow Cowie.
So you followed team green.
You follow the amateur program.
But have you like dedicated yourself to watching Loretta's?
(01:50):
know this year, we, know, life is crazy and we're kind of all over the place, but likewhat is your take on Loretta's 2025?
Uh, I'm to be completely honest with you.
I watched two motos the whole week.
Um, I just, life is busy, crazy right now.
Business is really good right now.
So I just, I have not had an opportunity to, um, watch a lot of it this week, which waskind of a bummer.
(02:11):
I think I caught the 50 vet class.
Oddly enough, I have a bunch of in that class, Chaps, Elvin and the, and and Leveque, um,from Western power sports.
He's a buddy of mine from here.
He did really well.
Um, but yeah, I didn't watch a lot of it.
Normally I'll,
Normally what I'll do is I'll take the TV schedule, right?
The racer TV schedule and I'll put it in my calendar.
(02:31):
know, hey, I want to watch this Moto.
So I make sure to set the time aside.
Cause I normally like to watch the super minis.
I love watching the 250 Pro Sport, ah 250 or open Pro Sport.
ah Those are the three main ones, but I didn't watch any of them this year, Ali.
None of them, not one Moto.
Yeah, I had a few that I was excited about.
(02:53):
I was excited about Hudson Short, um who did really well.
I tagged Jackie Short in it I like, I cried.
I cried in the office watching Hudson Short's first moto.
But I was watching mainly for my girl Lala, for Lachlan Turner, who, I mean, I'm nevergonna stop praising this family, but Lachlan went one, one, one for the women's
championships.
(03:13):
I'm like, homegirl dominated.
Like at one point she was like 45 seconds out in the last moto.
Really
It was wild.
like she, the girl is insane.
Like she's next level.
mean, no pun intended.
We'll get there next level.
But I was just so happy for the Turner family.
Like every time I saw my girl Nicole on TV, I was just like, yes, they're doing the most.
Like I'm so excited for them.
So she also raised the boys in the two 50 B.
(03:36):
Um, she, she did.
She had, mean, a couple get like tip overs, little things like that because she's so danggnarly.
Like she does not know how to go less than like 110.
And I think like against the boys, like she just gets up in her mind and um yeah, she wasup in like 16th place and went down.
I mean, she just spent so much energy on recovering that I don't, don't just don't knowthat she could have made a fair charge, but like, I mean, homegirl is legit.
(04:02):
Like she is the real deal.
She, mean, cause they're from Gardnerville, Nevada.
So they're, they're not too far for me, but they would come over to hang town a lot andride.
And I remember watching her because when she got on big bikes, I think she's been kind oflike going around the country more than when she was obviously on a little bike.
But when she was like on a super mini in fricking sane, just insane, she's definitelysomething special.
(04:27):
Her corner speed, I've said it a million times, but like I have seen her obviously like onthe women's races, which women's races are coming back.
All three last rounds will be pro women's class.
But when I went to club and like literally stood in between the turns and like watched hercorner speed, like every single time I was like, no, she's going to lay it over.
She's going to lay it over.
She's going to, no, she's got it.
She just rips in the corners.
(04:48):
And I mean, I was in the chat, the Loretta's chat, which
You would talk about a dumpster fire that chat.
Oh my gosh.
was.
oh Yeah, yeah, very embarrassing.
And it did get modified or moderated and they were like removing comments like in livetime, which was the strangest thing.
Like you'd read a comment and then it was just like poof and it would disappear, which Idon't like.
(05:13):
I don't like, I don't like that at all.
Like we're America.
We have freedom of speech.
Not to get Dan all riled up.
Hush.
we don't.
Apparently we don't.
This is a safe space from that, Dan.
But ah the chat, the chat loves Lala like a little too much.
Like I'm like, y'all need to chill.
(05:34):
Like also the girls class, the chat likes the girls class too.
And I'm like, you guys understand that these girls are like 11 to 16?
I digress.
But the muting of the chat was, was not a good look, but I mean, everybody loves Lala.
I mean, it's just the coolest thing ever.
So.
Meanwhile, big brother Lux was taking his pro tour at club.
And I just, my mama heart like to think about having one day Lux, Lala and the wholeTurner fam at club would just be incredible.
(06:02):
Like I think it's so cool.
They bought a lot.
They're going to build.
I just think it would be the coolest thing ever.
So uh Lala has one more year in her contract.
Lux is up right now.
So we're putting good vibes out in the universe for the Turner fam to all be backtogether.
Wonder will they move out there permanently you think or are going to stay and go?
yeah, yeah.
So they own a house in Chattanooga, Tennessee right now just to get them like to the Eastcoast.
And they're trying to figure out like what they're doing or whatnot.
(06:24):
But no, they're going to be fully a club like Brandon.
mean, we've heard this, know, so Brandon is just a machine at club.
And so they've got like several different plots that people can pick and build on.
And they're going to be like right next to the Reeds.
Like it's crazy.
Like just walking around like Chad and Ellie Reed, you know, so it's
if I would have known more, I would have bought the lot that read bought that that waslike, I don't know.
(06:47):
Daniel told me how sick club was and like, you of course I believe him, but like you'vebeen there.
So you abs, you know, you've seen it with your own eyes, but, um, I think Kiefer did avideo, like a tour, landing and stuff.
And that place is incredible.
Like incredible.
would move back there for that.
It's pretty cool.
mean, Nicole is pushing hard.
(07:07):
She's like, when are you moving out here?
When are you going be my neighbor?
So I did tell Tim we are going to get, we're going on our first RV trip this week so wecan start like flipping RVs and maybe get a motor home one day.
Like we're going to go to Loretta's and like Tim's going to work on RVs and pay for ourtrip and I'll do the podcast.
But I was like, I could not, I could not do the motor home life.
Like it's so gnarly.
Like I'm just like, no.
(07:29):
would be badass.
I'm such a princess, I have no shame saying that, I couldn't do it.
See, I told Sabrina like I would be perfectly okay living in like a one bedroom apartment.
Like I don't need, I can live in an RV, problem.
As long as I have a place to put my dirt bikes and work on my dirt bikes, I would beperfectly content.
Well, club has that and more.
So you would be, you would be happy there.
(07:51):
It's a pretty cool place for sure.
But other cool things that happened at Loretta's other than Lala.
I mean, that's what I was here for.
That's what all my content was.
you menna a girl getting second in the 65 CC seven to age seven to nine limited class,which is insane.
We also had Rayson who won the overall won the whole thing.
(08:11):
first girl to ever do it.
So we had two girls like showing up in boys classes, which is incredible.
And then you would like to speak to the Timberman domination, like it's cousins Enzo andother cousin.
So somewhere in that family, they've got some wild dirt bike jeans, but very impressiverun.
so this is what I love about Enzo Timmerman is that I did catch like little bits andpieces of, of, didn't watch his motos, but all the clips on Instagram and stuff.
(08:39):
Um, he is, he's good at super cross.
He's actually really, he's very underrated at super cross.
Just, I think this next year in futures, really, really good.
Uh, he's really good at outdoors, but I mean, pure domination and 250 pro sport forTimmerman.
But the thing I like about Timmerman now, listen, I, I, I do not knock all these trainingcamps and stuff.
(09:01):
think they work, you know, for, for most people, they're great.
Right.
But in the Timmerman does not live and ride at a training facility.
Now, with that being said, his parents do own DT one MX park, um, down in Bakersfield.
So they do own a track, but, um, he's not on this like program that all these other kids,he kind of just kind of reminds me of Tomac to be honest, like just.
(09:26):
does his own thing and works for him.
I think that's really cool.
He's going to be really good.
uh
though, he doesn't have a pro contract.
And that's what I'm saying.
I hope that I hope that Cali can hang onto this kid.
Cause I mean, with Landon Gordon moving over to star Yamaha, um, there's really no, mean,there's some younger kids like, um, rider he's, he's coming up, but yeah, there w there's,
(09:57):
there's nobody in that group.
So they really need to hang on to Timberman if they can.
So we'll see what happens.
I mean, it's just everything is so backlogged, like the 450 classes backlogged, the 250classes backlogged.
It's like, I mean, if you're a team owner, you're looking at this and you're just like, Idon't know what to do because everybody's sticking around for so long.
So, I mean, it's a good problem to have as a spectator, but not as a team owner for sure.
(10:17):
So um I also was very impressed by Enzo.
So that was pretty cool.
I think he won the young Horizon Award.
What is it?
Horizon Award?
Yeah.
I mean, he absolutely deserved it.
I mean, that's an incredible ride.
Uh, but Yamina, uh, she's from here.
She's from Northern California.
So it's funny story.
Jacob Hayes trained Yamina.
(10:39):
Like when she literally got off of training wheels, she did it.
She did a class out here.
Uh, Jacob did like a two day thing and she could barely, Ali, she could barely ride a PW50 without training wheels.
mean,
So to see her go from that to where she's at now is it's incredible.
(11:01):
And I don't think her parents ride either.
They were not like moto people.
So just kind of cool too.
and they've got like a toddler too.
Like I was following them like the whole week and watching the content that obviously likeher parents, you know, manage the account, but they have like another like young kid.
And I'm like, this is so exhausting to watch.
Like, I don't know how you were doing like kudos to you men as parents.
(11:21):
Like you menna, if your mom hears this, like come chat.
Cause like, first of all, I want to like high five you and hug you and ask you all thequestions.
Like how are you doing it?
And like what caffeine is being pumped into your veins?
Cause that is so cool.
We're very excited for the show up of girlies um at Loretta's.
Other things that we've kind of teased that if you follow me on Instagram, you can watchthe saga over the past 48 hours, but there was some drama in the P-dub class, which I have
(11:51):
now been schooled is apparently commonplace.
Like everybody cheats in the 50s, which is so sad.
Gosh, like what?
I mean, I knew that like the Deegans had been accused of cheating in the fifties.
Like I have, mean, the, engine builder who did that way back when I've got hisinformation, someone was talking about swing arm links.
(12:12):
mean, so I, I was naive.
I will say that, but the more this story developed, like there was a fight, there waspeople jumping the fence that weren't supposed to be there.
The police were called, all of these bikes were stripped down.
Here's the thing that gets me about this.
So
The kid in question, his name is Knox Ray.
He is the son of Jessica Patterson, who was an ex-women's pro rider and Eddie Ray.
(12:32):
They own Next Level, which is why I laughed earlier um in South Carolina.
And apparently he doesn't even ride that much, but like, you know, they own Next Level andthey put him out on track, whatever.
But his bike was protested after Moto One.
So this is the part that really gets me is that yes, it was impounded after Moto One, buthe was still able to race and get podium time and get all the accolades and get all the
(12:55):
glory.
And then at the end of the week, they strip it down and what do you know?
It's got a 60 cc kit in it among like dozens of other infractions.
So there's multiple things that make me mad about this, but I just don't understandletting him continue to race when everybody is like, listen to the bike.
You can tell it's, it's not normal.
Like I don't get it.
60 CC PW 50 is very distinct.
(13:19):
It's got a very distinct sound.
So you're never going to get away with it ever.
And so that's what blows me away that.
But this happens every, and it's not just that.
mean, there's, have titanium drive shafts.
They, know, 60 CCs, those are, are probably the two big ones, but
This happens every year and, it's this, there's, there's only three solutions to this.
(13:44):
Okay.
One being get rid of the class altogether, which, which I, I have said that and I'vegotten actually a buddy of mine.
Uh, we, you know, it wasn't a heated argument, but he disagreed with me, of course,because his, his kid is in the PW class.
He was there at Loretta's.
So he saw this go down firsthand for one, but, or.
(14:08):
Yamaha supplies 42 bone stock Yamaha PW fifties.
Because then it's the pure rider.
You take the motorcycle out of it and that's, that's it.
Or, or you just make it an open class, which is crazy, right?
Because now you start getting into like guys are going to start making aftermarketcylinders.
(14:32):
They're going to go CCs to 90 CC.
mean that, yeah.
it in Australia.
All of all of my, like I've got, I shouldn't say all of these Australian followers, butI've got a few who, their kids raised 50s in Australia and it's completely like Wild West
because it's open.
I don't know, that one scares me, that option.
does because it's, mean, the opportunities are endless, right?
(14:54):
I mean, I don't know, you'd have to restrict it somehow, some way, having to use stockcases or I don't know.
I don't know what the solution is.
In my opinion.
I think that they should get rid of the class.
Um, it's probably not, it's probably not a popular opinion to be quite honest with you,but you know, these, these are, these are kids, right?
(15:16):
And,
do agree that these kids should learn at a very young age discipline and you know, how toride and race.
I fully support that, right?
You could do that at the local level, right?
It's uh for one, it's so expensive.
It is so expensive and shout out to all these PWA, I mean, all the families to be honest,from PWA to 450s, the cost that you incurred to go to this race and not only the race.
(15:44):
all the qualifiers and everything is insane.
So shout out you for, I know families are making massive sacrifices.
They're mortgaging their homes for it.
It is insane, right?
But the four to six PW50 class is not going to shape a kid's career in any way, shape orform.
(16:05):
It's just, and this has been an issue for years.
It's, there's always somebody cheating.
Always have to tear these bikes down.
And at the end of the day, the kids suffer because you know, if you're, if you're a kidthat got second or third place and you're on a legit motorcycle, that's a pretty shitty
(16:27):
feeling for a little guy or a little gal to, have, you know, they didn't cheat, but theystill got second or third.
But by the time that they de que them, they could get, they, you don't want to win likethat.
Right.
It's just, it's it's just, it's just not cool.
It's not a good look.
And now the fact that we have these parents fighting in the pits, like full on, I mean,that's, I see it at the local level.
(16:52):
I see it at the local tracks.
These mini parents are absolutely gnarly.
And it's like, I don't know what the answer is.
Again, it's, my opinion is probably not a popular one.
I like to either get rid of the class altogether or Yamaha supplies, 42 stock bikes.
They're
They're a box stock bike impounded.
get the bike at the line and you ride it.
(17:14):
That's what I would be a fan of either one of those two, but I mean, it'll never happen.
It'll never happen.
Alley because it's, it's just money, right?
I mean, it seems like it would be such a good PR move for Yamaha.
Like I'm thinking about like the KTM juniors, like the only 50 my kids have ever seen likein the flesh because my kids don't ride our KTMs.
So if you had, well, there's four, four 50 classes, comma 50 CC classes.
(17:39):
Like if you uh had 160 bikes that are all Yamaha, I mean, that's great PR, but yeah, we'renot there yet, but Yamaha get on it.
in the PWs are they're so cheap.
They haven't changed since the eighties.
Literally.
It's the same exact bike that I had when I was, you know, four years old is all I had whenshe started.
(18:00):
So it's the same motorcycle that the tooling's paid for the cost of those bikes to Yamahais nothing.
Right.
So they could easily do it.
That would be the most fairest way to do it because then it truly is the rider.
Right.
But you know,
It's, it's, it's weird Ali, because you know, you look, you have kids, right?
(18:23):
A four year old and a six year old is a big difference.
They grow a lot on four to six.
So.
that's what my, well, no, right now they're five and seven, but they were four and six.
They're different animals.
Totally.
So, you know, the weight difference, obviously weight is going to be huge in the PW class.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Those are the only two solutions that I see that are valuable in my opinion.
(18:47):
But it'll never change.
Where this has been going on for years, it's never going to change.
Or the parents that they need to be held accountable.
Is that, is that a one year ban?
Is that a two year ban?
They need to make it where if you cheat and you get caught, there is a substantial penaltyfor it.
(19:10):
Yeah, yeah, I people all put my comments that were like, I'm awaiting their one year AMAban.
And I'm like, that's pretty intense, but I understand.
I mean, I do.
So.
The problem with it is, it's just an integrity thing, right?
It's an integrity thing and cheating is always going to take place.
The same parents that are cheating in the 50 class are going to cheat on 65s and 85.
(19:33):
You know, it's more apparent in the 50 CC class, right?
Because into some of these other bikes, it really, and some of these other classes, itreally did the rider does shine a little bit more outweigh the motorcycle.
But they're.
It's just, it's, I don't know.
It's just an integrity thing and that hard to change.
(19:54):
Yeah.
And I mean, I feel so bad.
some of the kids that were further down the roster that got bumped up, like even theirbikes got stripped down.
Like I imagine watching that and just being like, what is happening?
And then also they were found to be fine, you know?
So I'm, glad that those families like had that, you know, vindication, but all of this ishappening.
And then the cat fight and I mean, which also I need to say slowly watched his video.
(20:18):
I didn't make it past the fight.
Um, but
That video was also sent to me.
I did not like poach it from him.
So I want to clear it up.
Slow, he's got enough on his back right now.
The stuff that he's walked into.
So, but women fighting over P dubs.
mean, I know there was more going on there because it was like a step mom and a bio momand an auntie and a grandma and blah, blah, blah.
(20:40):
So it's like, it's not necessarily about the racing, but it happened there around thefifties.
And it's just like, guys, come on, like, come on, this is not helping the sport.
So anyhow.
I know, man.
I love these moto moms.
think they're, they're awesome.
The passion they have for the sport I think is, is really cool.
Like, you know, Kirsten Lewis, uh, she's awesome.
(21:00):
Right.
And, I, she kind of started that, that whole thing, right.
With the vlogs and just, you know, following Mav around and now you have all these motomoms that are doing the same thing.
It's like, it has grown substantially.
But ladies chill, chill.
(21:20):
It is okay.
It's just motorcycle racing.
It's just amateur.
It's just, it's mini bike racing.
It does not matter.
does not matter.
Look at Evan Blair.
Look at Daniel.
So it was not a superstar on many bikes, right?
But he's learning how to ride.
So he was good.
He was, he was, he was very good, right?
(21:41):
Won a lot of races and stuff, but he wasn't a superstar, you know, factory rider, butlook, he's at club now.
riding supercross, he's training on supercross, Evan's 14 now I think, right?
14, 14.
He's gonna be good.
He's gonna be super cross.
And that's when it matters.
It matters when the money is on the table, chill.
(22:04):
It'll be okay.
Yep.
I agree.
I'm one of my rules, you know, with this podcast is like, want to educate, I want toentertain, and I want to make Kathy Tomak proud.
And they had no way you would have seen Kathy Tomak throwing down, pulling hair, draggingpeople to the ground.
that's, that's all I'll say about that.
yes.
(22:26):
Yes.
So I have to know, bless his heart.
just, can't, I just can't get through his videos.
I'm sure he's a nice guy.
just, can't, I can't do it.
I see the clips and stuff.
Is it true that they actually like removed comments in the chat when somebody mentionedhis name?
(22:48):
yeah, yeah.
They were censoring things in the chat.
I mean, if you said anything about Tim Cotter, if he said anything about Slowy, there wasall things about like saying everything was gay.
And so was just like trying to filter that out.
But I'll say this about Slowy.
He put out the video and he's talking about being, you know, selling everything and liketraveling to the races and filming and doing the van life.
I'm like, cool, good on you.
um What he's in hot water for right now was posting the Jeremy Han video from Washugalwhere the bike like cartwheels down the hill.
(23:15):
um
And I think what people are missing on this that there's a number of reasons why I'm surethat MX Sports is not happy about this.
But one thing is like he is videotaping.
I think, I think this is what he's doing.
He was videotaping the screen or someone videotaped the screen and sent it to him.
So it's literally the broadcast, which MX Sports owns the intellectual property rights to.
(23:36):
So when you videotape that and you take it to YouTube for a monetized channel, they cansue you because that is their intellectual property.
So when he shows up at Loretta's,
They're already like, you know, he's on their shit list, you know, just move over, Cooksy.
So they served him.
Yeah.
And they were like, get off the property, get out of here.
Apparently the documents that they served him either like didn't have his like legal nameor didn't spell it right or whatever.
(24:01):
So like, it wasn't legally correct, which I kind of also love, but you got to be carefulwith the like legal side of things.
Like it's, it's the same reason why I removed the videos with the kid that was in thirdplace.
I think he finished in.
second place because I used some of his pictures.
His trainer was saying some pretty crazy things.
Also now the trainer is in my comments telling me to get a fucking life.
(24:21):
But I'm like, bro, you put the comments out there.
So also posted that.
But I removed the images because I was like, okay, it's your kid.
He wasn't directly involved in this.
I mean, even though.
intellectual property is a really hard thing to like pursue and protect.
So it's just like, you got to think about the bigger picture here.
Like if someone is making money off of it,
and you're trying to make money off of them making money, you're gonna piss some peopleoff.
(24:44):
So that's my skinny with slowie.
I want to address something else too, real quick that you just, you just sparked myinterest in something.
I don't know if everybody knows, but my buddy Zeb Armstrong out here in California ownsHangtown, Riverfront, and, uh, the sandbox in firmly Nevada.
And he was shut down this year for like three or four weeks because of insurance, right?
(25:07):
Insurance today is a, is a hot topic right now with not motocross tracks, but any type ofsporting venue in general, right?
But racing venues are.
are being hit the most hardest because it's, you know, it's dangerous, whatever, right?
What we need to stop doing as a fan and member of this sport is we need to stop talkingabout lawsuits and suing and blah, blah, blah, blah.
(25:33):
The whole Chris Canning video where he hit his head on the tree and, know, unfortunatethat tree has been there for, I don't know how long, forever, right?
Mm-hmm.
a writer.
You got to be aware of your surroundings.
Yes, shit happens.
It was, it was an accident, right?
But we have to get out of the comments and stop talking about the suing and the lawsuitsand oh my God, MX sports is going to go under because you know, Chris Canyon is going to
(25:58):
own the sport now and stop.
Just stop because you guys are making it worse.
The more, or this gets put, these things gets posted, talked about, commented about themore people see it.
lawyers get in, know, they, these slime ball lawyers, they try to find loopholes andeverything.
We have to stop bringing attention to these unfortunate circumstances.
(26:21):
If we want to continue to have tracks and places to ride, stop.
Just stop.
You're not cool.
You're not, you're not funny.
That's what drives me insane.
Alley, just these keyboard warriors.
They think that they're, they're saying something groundbreaking and earth shattering andthey're with their comment.
You look like an idiot.
(26:42):
Stop.
Just fricking stop.
And that goes for certain people in the media as well.
People in the media that make these videos and stuff and talk about it and you know, AMAis going down, MX Sports is going down.
Just stop.
It's not a good look.
We as average consumers, average writers, weekend warriors, racers at the local level, wewant our tracks to stay alive.
(27:10):
You're making it worse for us.
I'll get off my soapbox, sorry.
no, no, no, it's good.
It got me thinking about some other legal drama around the sport, which um I couldn'tdecide if I want to talk about this or not, but there's an interesting angle I want to
talk about, and it's the Lawrence camp versus Myrtle.
I went through all of these documents online.
(27:31):
Everything's publicly available.
You just have to search the name of the county where they were filed in Florida.
I think it's Paso's County.
can't remember.
They have subpoenaed so many people.
Chay Sexton's on the list, Keir Sexton's on the list, Adam Bailey's on the list.
I mean, so they subpoenaed all these people, uh not them, their record, the text records.
uh So I've been staying on top of this.
(27:52):
The funny thing about this that I don't quite understand is from a very reputable source,I have heard that Hunter is way more involved in this case than he should be.
And let me explain what that means.
So you have millions of dollars, millions of dollars in the bank.
and you're also a professional writer.
Why would you not just hand things over to your lawyers and say, cool, you do it, you takecare of it, I'm gonna focus on my career, whatever.
(28:18):
That's not what Hunter has been doing.
Hunter has been like personally texting people, trying to move this thing along.
So I don't know if it's just, it's a personal vendetta.
would not blame him if it's personal because these people have, mean, the Lawrence familyhave been through hell and back with, you know, leaving their country, moving to two
different continents.
Like it probably feels very, very wounding to have, you know, what they think is, youknow, one of their best friends and Lucas Myrtle stab him in the back.
(28:44):
But I don't understand why you would get so personally involved.
Like you have a job to do on a motorcycle, like leave it to the lawyers.
And also like if you want to just drown Lucas in legal fees, which honestly I thoughtthat's what they were going to do.
They're just going to keep filing whatever, um do that.
You know, like Lucas keeps teasing like these, you know, the
(29:04):
Episode two is gonna drop or whatever and then the court case is gonna get dismissed.
So he teased that the court case is gonna get dismissed last week, the week before that.
And so I went and looked, no, didn't get dismissed.
Lucas got dropped by his lawyers.
Lucas got fired.
So I'm like, guys, this is not a good look.
It's not a good look for the Lawrence's, it's not a good look for Myrtle, it's not a goodlook for the sport.
(29:25):
But I don't understand from Hunter's perspective why you need to be personally involved.
So I'll leave it at that.
But similar to
eh Is it is it wrong to want to see more episodes though?
No, no, it's not.
mean, that's what I'm here for apparently.
I've now become Moto TMZ, you know?
(29:47):
So I think that we will.
We'll see more.
Moto TMZ.
I think I know who it was.
I'm not going to say it though.
And I was wondering, I was wondering if.
was called Moto TMZ and she was like, people call me that.
And I was like, no, no, send them to me, send them to me.
I'm Moto TMZ.
(30:08):
Well, she got pulled into some drama about the fifties because her son trains at nextlevel and she was at Loretta's.
and she's like, y'all, I don't want to talk about it.
Like, you know, I, my kid trains with Jessica.
Jessica's an insane trainer.
She's great.
But then she put up like a, ask me anything while we're on the road.
Of course, everybody's going to blow up the questions about that race.
So.
I girl, girl, I was saying this to her.
(30:30):
was like, girl, tag me and be like, if you want the tea, go to Ali.
Because I honestly, I had probably 50 messages from people that were at Loretta's 50.
And I literally just copied and paste, copy and paste, copy and paste into an AI bot.
And I was like, summarize this for me and tell me what happened because everybody who wasthere, they had videos, they had pictures.
(30:52):
I was like, I can't.
And Kristen, Kirsten, Kirsten, my bad.
She was there, like.
I think she said, I think she said she didn't even watch the second two motos of thefifties.
So she was like, I only saw one.
So like, don't even ask me.
Like my kids on 65s get out of here.
So I'm happy to be moto TMZ, like happy to, because people talk and they probablyshouldn't, but they do.
And if I hear the same story from three different camps, like I'm gonna say it, period.
(31:17):
And there's other things like, Dan, you know this, like we've talked off air.
There are things that I know that I will never say on record because I'm not aboutdestroying people's marriages.
or destroying people's careers, but this industry is way too small.
Like people talk and nothing is secretive.
So I'm just here.
(31:39):
Same, that's how I feel.
The more I know the, yeah, there's a lot of the underbelly of the sport that I don't loveall the way, that is for sure.
So um let's, one thing I do know, one thing I do know.
I got the 2026 Supergirl schedule and I was so happy about it and I'm not going to post itbecause it's only with the teams right now.
(32:03):
But I was wanting to plan another sweet party, which you didn't get to come to our sweetparty because Sabrina got in her car accident.
Do remember that?
That was terrible.
my gosh.
As I was saying that, I was like, why wasn't Dan there?
Holy shit.
um But Houston is back on the schedule and I can drive to Houston.
So we've got other options.
We can either do Dallas, which is where I live, or Houston.
(32:24):
But um I will say this, there are some interesting Northern rounds in February that are inan open air stadium.
And I'm like, are we prepared to race in snow?
Because that is a very distinct possibility.
Like, what would happen?
I know what you're talking about and I am like WTF, like what, what?
(32:45):
m
What if it snows?
What if it's, has it ever snowed?
I'm thinking about like Packers games and stuff, but I can't think of Moto.
it's snowed at one race a couple of years ago, not enough to like cover the track oranything like that, but that's a risk.
sleeting at Foxboro this year, but it was just muddy and sloppy, but I don't know,
(33:07):
That one is a I would be perfectly okay if they remove that off the like, remove thatstadium off the schedule altogether.
Have you ever been to that city?
It's weird.
It's weird city.
(33:27):
uh
Well, and that city, mean, that stadium, like we've always had bad racing there.
Okay.
It's Seattle.
Hello.
It's Seattle.
Was that where the lime gate was?
Where Kenny had the lime burns and Bowers?
Wasn't Bowers really like bitching about the lime stuff?
I don't think it was Seattle though.
(33:48):
Was it not?
Maybe it was Toronto.
I have to go back, that was a long time ago.
Oh yeah.
So no, maybe I'll look it up, but whatever, whatever race that was where they put way toomuch lime in the dirt.
Ooh, that was bad.
So any who I'm very excited about the schedule.
There's some interesting things on it.
Houston is back.
(34:08):
So if you follow me on real housewives moto on Instagram, please like hit me a comment ora DM and like, let me know what area of the country you're in.
And if you would be willing to throw down for some Romy tickets for a sweet party, um, we,know, it was so fun.
We did it in Arlington.
had.
80 listeners at Anaheim one.
That was insane.
I don't know that I would do 80 again, but it's just so fun to like, it was wild.
(34:32):
There were some people, it's also very strange, being doing things on the internet likethis, like people who know me, but I don't know them.
So I'm, I feel that on another level now.
So that was weird.
Um, what about, well, mean, if you do Dallas again, I'll come.
Okay, well, I will be at Dallas regardless, whether we get a suite or not is TBD, butyeah, it's.
(34:56):
to Dallas no matter what then.
Cause I do want to go.
I have, that's one round I've never been, I actually been to Houston.
I've been to Houston, but I've not been to Dallas.
Houston's not my favorite because that stadium is so tall that like the angles of it don'treally work well.
So like if you're in the top tier, I mean, if you're the top tier at like Arlington, youhave the giant Jumbotron, it's beautiful.
But if you're in the top tier at NRG, which is Houston Stadium, like you got like vertigo,like the angles don't quite work.
(35:20):
And anyhow, I'm just glad cause we have two races that I can drive to.
um There's a few others that we could drive to, but those would be the two closest forsure.
So.
um
Other things that we have heard about just kind of in these off weeks is you have heardmaybe that Kiroly is coming back to do some more R &D.
Maybe.
(35:40):
heard Cairo is going to be back for probably two of them, maybe all three potentially.
I think that he's going to be selected for team Italy for designation.
that's what I heard.
they're trying to get some more R and D on the bike and get them in a little bit morecomfortable spot.
So that'd be cool to have Cairo.
I like that dude.
(36:03):
He's.
I think she's hot.
very hot.
She was wearing a DC like mock Jersey at the race this weekend and like these like thighhigh leather boots.
And I'm like, you're so cool.
Like I love her.
And she's so nice to me on Instagram.
Like we've never met and like told me to come like hang out with her to race.
(36:24):
And I was like, Oh my God.
like, yeah, I want to come hang out.
Like I'll get in my car and start driving 18 hours now.
So I would love to meet them.
would just, I would totally fangirl like so hard.
So I love that.
What did you think of Dylan Ferrendis signing with Ducati?
I think it's a good fit.
Yeah.
I think it's a good fit.
Um, he's, he's good at super cross, obviously an outdoor champions, two 50 super crosschampion too.
(36:45):
Um, they probably got them pretty cheap.
So I think with having Dylan and Barsha on the team, it's a wild mix, but I think it's, Ithink it's a good fit for, you know, for, for that new team.
I think that it's going to be interesting, right?
(37:07):
Um, I think they're going to be a good spot because they probably got both guys at a D ona decent salary.
Didn't have to pay him too much money.
know Barsa, he wanted to go back to you.
He wants to stick to Troy Lee.
Like he loves Troy and loves that whole thing.
He fits in so good there, but they're both, they're both older, not older.
(37:28):
younger than I am.
They're young.
They're exactly, they're old for the sport.
So it's going to be interesting to see.
know who will take those rides in a couple of years, right?
When the motorcycle is a little bit more developed and that team is more developed.
I think it's really cool.
Everybody that I've talked to, ah the bike is, I think we talked about this a little bit,got a few little challenges, but ah the engine I think is, from what I hear is incredible.
(37:55):
So even though it's on the slower side, I think there's really, there's some potentialthere for sure.
Yeah.
mean, Tony was what?
Ninth at one of the nationals.
Like, and he's like 39 years old.
I he's a bad dude regardless, but the fact that he could do that on that bike at his age,like that is just insane to me.
So.
(38:15):
I heard that that they've been testing some suspension, some chassis parts and stuff.
And they've been testing like a, a new linkage system for the bike.
it, Tony could go like two or three seconds faster with this other linkage system.
um, once they get those types of things figured out, I mean, what he was able to do on arelatively stock motorcycle off the couch.
(38:39):
mean, he's, Tony's an old guy, right?
He told me that old guy is absolutely incredible.
Yeah, it's wild.
And they have a newborn.
I always have to point it out when people are racing with newborns.
I'm like, I'm so impressed.
Chase and Cody.
um That team is going to be so European.
Like now I'm thinking about it.
So you've got Dylan and Nastasia, not nostalgia.
(39:00):
Daniel.
We'll never live that down.
Nastasia, she's a delight.
Her and I messaged a little bit about they have Bengal cats, which are like the giantcats.
um She has an Instagram just for them and they're adorable.
um
But Amber, Barsha's wife is from England.
like Barsha is the only like Merkin in the group.
So like it's going to be a very European Ducati team.
(39:22):
I'm here for it.
I'm so here for it.
So yeah, it's going to be fun.
I cannot wait.
met this weekend?
Axel Hodges.
So they were in town uh and my graphics guy hit me up and said, hey, Axel's in town.
He wants to ride HangTown.
Can I give him your number?
(39:43):
So I said, sure.
So his dad called me up, Philip, and asked if they can come out.
said, no problem.
So was him.
It was a couple of the unknown industries guys.
The Harleys and stuff the wheelies and stuff the supercross But I'll tell you like youknow people can be in our sport.
I've met a lot people they could be kind of Kind of be do strikes right kind ofstandoffish Axel and his dad the nicest individuals that you could ever possibly meet I
(40:15):
Mean the coolest people in the world um so there was a guy one of my buddies he came upshort on a triple it hanged down and
When he came up short, the linkage on his Honda 450 snapped in half.
Like, yeah, it was gnarly.
Who's the guy that picks up Dwayne off the side of the track and takes them back to histruck?
It's Hodges.
(40:37):
Another one of my buddy's kid wadded himself up, hit neutral off the face of a jump.
Who's the first one to him?
Axle Hodges.
The dude was the nicest person, but yeah, the bike scale's alley.
he's a freak.
like if if Jet, I feel like Axel is like the freestyle version of Jet, where it's justlike the bike is just an extension of like their body, like they're like, this sounds so
(41:03):
dramatic.
It just feels like their soul is like one with the bike.
Like when I watch Axel's videos, I'm just like, it does not even look hard.
Like it just looks like he's like, yeah, I'm going to I'm going to decide I'm going to doa thing and then I do the thing.
So I think that's I think that's incredible that they are so down to earth because thosekids will remember that forever.
So, know, like the fly 150 jump, the big jump at Hangtown.
So he, we were talking, he's like, you think it'd be okay if I back flipped that?
(41:30):
And I'm like, um, are you serious?
Yeah, I think it's got enough lip on it.
And I'm like, I mean, yeah, I, I'm not going to tell you how to ride, you know, like, ifyou can do it, go ahead and do it.
He ended up not doing it because he's the lip on it was.
(41:50):
It was marginal.
Like he thought he could probably pull it off, but I was like, Hey, you know, like, don't,chance it.
He's like, yeah, I just came off a broken femur.
don't really want to do that again.
You know, so, maybe I'll just, so instead he just does the gnarliest whips.
then he would, he would like off this one other jump.
would jump, do a no footed can can to a wheelie when he lands standing on his seat, like
(42:15):
It doesn't make sense.
It was, it's just mind blowing.
yeah, I would put him right up there with Aaron Plesinger.
He's a genuine human.
I love, I hey, this my, my little, my little charm on my, on my microphone.
It's AP's hat.
Somebody asked me on one of the episodes.
(42:35):
Yeah.
Um, it's from my girl, Noel, who, uh, she designs these, which I also need to get with herbecause, um, a lot, a lot of riders are changing teams and a lot of riders are changing,
uh, energy drinks.
So we need to get some of those updated.
Um, I'm at you chasing Eli.
So got to some of those updated cause I got to new stickers, which speaking of, um,Romy's, if you have not gotten yourself,
(42:56):
a Romi sticker for free.
Hit the link in my bio on my Instagram.
I've got a few more of those that I want to get out before I start the next round.
Working on merch, working on all the things, working on a sweet party now that we know wehave Houston.
So they're coming.
But if you guys found me this week through Shifty Gate, welcome.
ah We're glad you're here.
(43:16):
I would love to know more about just the drama around amateur moto.
Like people were like,
the next episode you need to do is on cheating spouses, which I was like, I don't want togo there.
Like tell me, tell me all the tea, but I'm not making a video about it.
No, I'm not going to ruin Liz, but I want to know the stories.
I'm such a, I'm such a gossip.
(43:39):
I have to.
I know, I know, I know, but.
with who and who's good in bed and who isn't?
Yeah.
Like trainers, like moms sleeping with trainers and like, okay, we're going to wrap thisup on that note.
(44:00):
Dan, thank you so much for coming to chat with me.
You always hold it down for like the technical stuff that I just, I'm like, I don't know.
I don't know what a drive shaft is.
You know, so I appreciate that.
sorry.
I was a little lackluster on my Loretta's knowledge this year.
I said, business has been insane.
July was like one of my best months I've ever had.
So, uh, yeah, it's going good.
just, yeah, my, my, my bandwidth was not there to watch, but coming back into the promo tocross season, are we going to Vegas?
(44:28):
Are you going to Vegas?
I need, I need to figure that out.
So.
My group is constantly shifting because there's some privateers on it who have injuriesand we're trying to figure out who's going.
And so at one point we were getting like a huge Airbnb.
I don't know where I'm staying, but the flights are booked.
I will be there.
I'll be there with bells on.
(44:48):
I'll make it happen.
I might come in for one day, but I'll make it happen.
We'll record Ruts and Rumbles live edition after the finale of this whole 31 round shitshow.
Dr.
Jett and Hayden Beat, everybody.
OK, let's go.
Yeah, that's it.
What a way to end.
All right, Dan, we'll talk soon.
Thanks, friend.
