SPEAKER_04So Bean is one of Derek's good friends. And yeah. He's quite a bit a couple years older than we are. But like growing up, he was one of the ones he was.
SPEAKER_05Honestly, talking to him right now, I'm like, oh. Intimidating. Yeah, it is. It's like scary. He's like he ran the O2, a cool number. Yeah. And he had you had a Cowie at one point.
SPEAKER_02That is a cool number. That's yeah.
SPEAKER_01Cowie started on a Honda Z50. Oh yeah. Moved all over the place. Had a kind of Suzuki for a while.
SPEAKER_05How old were you when you started riding?
SPEAKER_01About six years old on the on the Z50. Nice. Yeah, that's where it was kind of in and out a little bit, dabbling there.
SPEAKER_05Nice. And you were you always a Moto kid or did you do a little bit of everything?
SPEAKER_01I always loved BMX, Moto, all that. My grandpa was he wanted me to be a cowboy. I was gonna do the the pony club with you, but he had that 1982 Z50 sitting out there. And I was like, grandpa, what's what's up with that? What's up with that? Let's let's get that thing going, trade that horse in. So that's kind of yeah, where it started.
SPEAKER_05Now were you ever like a Derek cowboy at any point?
SPEAKER_01Like riding the bowls?
SPEAKER_05Like you had the hat.
SPEAKER_01I mean I did, but I was like the six-year-old dressing up as a cowboy. I was I was not a cowboy at all.
SPEAKER_05And so growing up in the valley, how many different bikes brands did you own? So you're wearing a Honda hat, but I remember you on the Kawasaki.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I yeah, I rode big for big bikes. I rode Yamaha, I started out on Yamaha, rode those for a couple years, and then I went to Kawi in 08.
SPEAKER_04And why why'd you leave? Why'd you leave blue?
SPEAKER_01I had better. I I had that 06 Yamaha with the aluminum frame the first year they came out. So good. So good. Not mine.
SPEAKER_06Oh, I love it.
SPEAKER_01That was the first year I was supposed to race World Mini, and it was it was uh it was a scramble to get that thing together. It blew up like four times.
SPEAKER_05I was riding uh those early carbureted four strokes were it was rough.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I was I was riding uh Bob McCormick's 02 with like the decompression just to keep riding because I had I had no bike to ride because my 06 brand new bike was destroyed.
SPEAKER_05And were you were you pretty good buddies with Brian Duvall? Yeah, he always talks about you, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01So I mean, as you guys know, like the moto community is pretty tight. Like whenever he was riding, I'd I'd jump in with him or we we'd hit up Cedar a lot, and yeah, rode a lot with him.
SPEAKER_05What was your like your your little group that you guys you ran in? Because I remember I don't know Will and I we saw you guys as like dude, the fast moto guys, you're older, intimidating. Like anytime we a little the little bit, I don't know if I ever I maybe rode with you out in the desert here and there, maybe once or twice.
SPEAKER_04I would see him out at like Willie or Res and just like sit in the hill and watch. I think I'd say they're crap.
SPEAKER_05That's Bean. I don't know his refer. I don't know his real name. That's Bean.
SPEAKER_02For me, it was Swamp. I remember seeing him ripping his cow out in Swamp and just I'm like, dude, whoever that is is ripping.
SPEAKER_01That's why you went through bikes.
SPEAKER_02And I remember seeing the 02.
SPEAKER_01I'm like, Yeah, that's nasty. Yeah, that's that's funny. The the 02, it kind of came from uh Kyle Robertson because that's I bought his CR80 and it already had 02 on it. Yeah. And he was like, if you buy this bike, you gotta run it. All right, so yeah, I ran that 02. Yeah, I which yeah, you're not supposed to sell your bike, your number on it, because that happens. But uh yeah, so he told me to run it. So I ran it for a while until I got to big bikes, and then I ran it on big bikes for a few years. Then I went to 102. Nice.
SPEAKER_02Were you and Clay Cutler around the same age?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, same, same age, same grade. We raced a lot together. Yeah, I bet.
SPEAKER_02Somewhere he's punching the air right now when I'm talking crap about the YZ. He's just punching the air right now. Yeah, I love those.
SPEAKER_01He's diehard, he's diehard, Yamaha. Yeah, he was on Cowie's when we kind of rode together a lot. He rode KX85s. Um you could always hand it to him though, right? Come on. Don't be modest. I would like to race him later on because we're dude still fast. Yeah, I I mean I I know he's still fast, but when I got better, he kind of went to like the desert more works racing. So we didn't race a lot once we got out of 80s, but yeah, he he kicked my butt on 80s. He was yeah, he had some more years on him. He was a little better.
SPEAKER_05So did you try you said world minis, was that mesquite or Vegas?
SPEAKER_01That was when it was in Vegas, yeah. That was oh six, I believe, because yeah, that's the bike I had. It was when it was stacked. I think there were six gates of novice. Wow. So I had to get like top six or something to even qualify for the main. Wow. I was like 10th, 15th or something. So yeah.
SPEAKER_05Did you ever travel much to go race?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we we traveled quite a bit. I traveled a lot in high school, became friends with the Browns, Benny Brown and Brandon, and they were doing like the California series, CMC stuff. So we started doing all that, especially before I had my driver's license. They they were taking me everywhere, they went. So that that I mean that helped out a lot. So yeah, did a lot of series in California, and then once I got my license, I was I was on the go wherever I could find somewhere. That was pretty much on the western side. I was going to Reno for Arena Cross or Oh, sweet. Yeah, there was wherever I could find a race, I was I was going. Sick, dude.
SPEAKER_05Did you were were you working on your bike?
SPEAKER_01Your dad worked on a bike, or who no, we we didn't have no money, so I I was yeah, I was working on it. My parents weren't really into it. They've they didn't go to a lot of my races, so yeah, it was kind of just on me. I I figured it out. My they helped out when they could, but yeah, it was it was mostly me just figuring it out. And then the Joneses, Randall Jones, and Jacob Jones kind of was with them. They they helped me out a lot, and Benny helped me out a lot. Nice. Just from people I know.
SPEAKER_05What would be like what's like a memory from racing that sticks out to you the most? Maybe like maybe like a favorite. It doesn't have to be a win, maybe it was a win, or like a you're pre- what's that one race or one memory that like is prestigious to you that when you think about like the good old days, that pops right up?
SPEAKER_01I think there's a few of them. One that always sticks out is I was doing a series in Sandy Valley, and I was wrapping that series up, and it just happened to be the same weekend as the TransCal series in California. So I had to I hit Sandy Valley Saturday, end up winning that series, and then I had to race in Paris, California Sunday.
unknownWow.
SPEAKER_01So I left straight from Sandy Valley after the race. I didn't really want to stay the night in Paris because it's pretty sketchy. They had something going on at Glen Helen, so I ended up driving to Glen Helen, sleeping in my truck there, then finished the route, went to Paris, blew my wheel out, had to like scrounge up some parts, put my wheel back together, ended up getting like second for the day, put me like third overall for points. But yeah, just just kind of living like the little privateer life, kind of sleeping in the truck, and yeah, that was it's fun memories.
SPEAKER_05Were you by yourself?
SPEAKER_01Just solo, just really that's cool. Yeah, it's it's interesting.
SPEAKER_05No plan on if you got hurt or nothing.
SPEAKER_01No, I was you don't think like that when you're 18, man, you're just have you had uh much injury at all? Yeah, I've had a had a few big ones. Um I mean, I've had the the little stuff, arm, collarbone, foot, hand, stuff like that. The bigger ones were first big one was like seventh grade. I early. Yeah, yeah, I was on the 80s, and we went out riding, it was raining, and I was with Jacob Jones, and we were out at Soapstone and then heading, I think, to Swamp Track, and my house was in between. I never showed up at Swamp Track, and he just figured I went home. Oh no. My dad sees me out there just like looking at my bike, and he's like, What's up, dude? I was like, I don't know, what's up? And he's like, You're acting real weird. And I was like, I I don't I don't know. And this has all come from him because I don't remember any of this. He says, I uh we're going to the doctor, something something's up with you. So I get in the truck and he's said that he asked me, he's like, What you know what you're doing? I was like, No, what are we doing? He's like, You're going to the doctor. He's like, Why am I going to the doctor?
SPEAKER_06Oh, he's like, Yeah, we are yeah.
SPEAKER_01So I I end up the next thing I remember is uh the hospital the next day, like neck race and all that. They did all the scans, they kept me in there for a couple days. Oh, a few days, huh? Yeah, just just to make sure everything was good. Like they were worried about my neck and some brain stuff, but so no idea what happened. No, to this day, no, no idea. We found a piece of my visor in like the the wash, kind of by soapstone. But other other than that, like no one no one knows. They just yeah, I figured I would home.
SPEAKER_05By yourself.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, I was riding with people and we decided to go to another place.
SPEAKER_05They just thought you went home.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, just didn't think to check in, I guess. And yeah.
SPEAKER_04Well, at least you were yeah, I mean smart enough to go home right after you bring your belly home.
SPEAKER_01I guess the memory kicked in to go home.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah. So there's that one.
SPEAKER_01They had one on big bikes in St. George. They had this triple section that it was in practice, it was wet, shouldn't have tried it. Came up short over the bars, dislocated my hip, and when it when it came out, it broke the top of my femur. So like the little ball. Yeah, the ball broke in half when it came out. So they had to put that back in and then put a few screws through it. Those those are still in there. And then recently in 17, I destroyed my ankle with the it's a peelon fracture and it just explodes your ankle. Damon knows all about it. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02We're still feeling that we're walking around the track the same today. We're like, hey, dude, this is sick, man. Like I sharing, sharing stories.
SPEAKER_01You're like me.
SPEAKER_05So the same injury as jet.
SPEAKER_01I don't, I think it's similar, yeah. Yeah, I think it just destroyed everything down there.
SPEAKER_05So only fast guys break their talents. Dude, I'm so glad my fast. I can't. I should have broken my one by now. We might have it.
SPEAKER_01It's horrible. Nice. Yeah. So those are the big ones. I feel like I've been pretty, pretty lucky. I mean, that's not and you still have a you still have a bike, right? I do have a 21 Honda. Hasn't been written much. It's just sitting there.
SPEAKER_05Out of all the brands, are is the Honda the best? Is that why we got one, or is that just kind of the flavor right now?
SPEAKER_01That's what I first kind of fell in love with was the Honda. I think I had uh CR80 and stuff. But yeah, I was riding cowies, nothing wrong with cowies. I was loving them. I just kind of wanted to change, switch it up a little bit. So went with the Red Fender and in 17 and rode those for a few years. And yeah, I I really like it. I've got the works edition, so it's it's been one of my favorite bikes for sure.
SPEAKER_05So we were we were at Washigal today, and this is closest track to you, or like the closest big track to you? No?
SPEAKER_01National track, yeah.
SPEAKER_05National track, and you've raced on it before.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yep.
SPEAKER_05And you had mentioned this last time. We're we were looking at a jump earlier, kind of the lower section of the track, and you said you were racing like 30 pro?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05And you just got on the bike after how many years?
SPEAKER_01So I I hadn't ridden in probably a year, and a bunch of my buddies were going out there, and I I kind of forgot that they built that jump. And because washi, well, other than that jump, like nothing too crazy. I mean, it's it's a tricky track, but that jump is pretty big, and if you come up short, I had somebody come up short and it was not good. So yeah, I kind of forgot about it. I show up and I was like, oh shit, this jumps here. It was a pretty big race, so we only had like two laps practice. And so yeah, just had a I mean, you're riding the pro class, pro class, you can't not jump it. Not jump it, yeah. So yeah, we we sent it and made it over it, and yeah, it was it was good being out there today. I'm like, man, I I need to get on the bike again. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Do you remember how you ended up that day, like one year off the couch?
SPEAKER_01I ended up winning the 30 pro class. He's afraid to jump the jump and wins.
SPEAKER_05Damn.
SPEAKER_01Came home with a little cash. That was nice. There you go. That's sick.
SPEAKER_05I could never, I wouldn't.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it's all about that corn speed.
SPEAKER_05We're we're over here racing each other on the vet track mesquite. And he's winning the 30 pro class.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I was Shugle.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah. Uh yeah. So being on that track, looking at it, I mean, yeah, they let amateurs ride, but I look at it and I'm like, I don't know. I I can't do that. Like just ride the track? No, I well, uh, dude, I rode a fox in one lap, and it was miserable. Yeah, and it was like practice day and they didn't rip it deep. So I couldn't imagine riding on the today's track.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_05So describe what Washugal is like to ride on. Because we haven't, but you have.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I mean, it gives you a whole new perspective watching them because you know how it feels and when they're coming into certain sections, like what what it looks like, how how slippery the track is, and it's it's deceiving. It's it's a tricky track where you don't have a lot of tractions. You got shadows. There's certain spots of the track that don't see the sun, so they stay wet. There's certain spots that get dry, dusty. Today was overcast, so they they had it pretty good as far as different for the shadows and all that, but yeah, it's a tricky track, and those those whoops are they're no joke trying to get through those things. Like they I've seen a lot of people go down in those whoops. Nice. Yeah, those are those whoops, are those doubles? Right, right. Yeah, heck are those.
SPEAKER_04They're doubles for me. Doubles, yeah. Like, yeah, those are and kind of I mean it's like an iconic thing on the tracks, you know, but it's like, man, why do you have that right before the finish line? Yeah, yeah, kind of weird, but yeah, a little weird.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, they're known for that horsepower hill. So those are always gonna be there, I think.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01I heard I heard, I mean, the track back in the day used to go the other way, and there was people sending it into the whoops.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01I've raced out there one time, they did switch it back that way, and like coming down horsepower hill and stuff. It's it's sketchy going that way.
SPEAKER_04Do you feel like horsepower hill is steeper than the hill of mesquite? Like that that top section?
SPEAKER_01I don't think it's about the same. I don't think it's steeper. It's uh it's really not that steep, but just the rollers and the roost, like it's a it's a big hill. It's just a different they're going different fast.
SPEAKER_02It started to get like chuckled in there too. So you'll see like people's bikes hitting the chuckles that and then at the top we're watching people preload down into the bottom. Like that started towards the end of the day, too. So you're fighting that, like fighting your speed because you're carrying so much going in.
SPEAKER_01So yeah, I think because the way they build it with those little rollers into it, it's just different. We're mesquite you'd get like some bumps going right at the beginning, and then it's pretty smooth. Yeah, but this one, yeah, they do that the first little jump, and then those rollers, like it's yeah, it's it's it's definitely definitely different. Yeah, nice.
SPEAKER_04So yeah, like so. We roll up to watch Oogle. Okay. Damon and I, we're all driving the same truck. Bean wrote himself, but Damon, Ori and I are in the truck together. Damon and I are like mind blown about how beautiful it is, how the trees, just the moss, and all this stuff. Ori's just like, eh, I don't even like trees.
SPEAKER_06I never seen that.
SPEAKER_04That great. I love Logan Dale.
SPEAKER_05It's like, I'm a dude, I'm a desert guy. Like, dude, the trees are cool, but I can't see. I can't see. It makes me makes me a little nervous. I feel I feel claustrophobic.
SPEAKER_01I'm with you. I feel the same way. Yeah. Like when I first moved up here, my wife, she was still in Nevada. She's like, Well, like, what what towns look good? I'm like, I can't see nothing. I don't know. Yeah, I I don't like I I like it in Nevada where you can you can see.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I like to be on top on top of a hill and be like, I want to go over there. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02I bet if we were to go out there like nighttime, will we kind of scared, you know? Like, hey, let's go back to the house.
SPEAKER_04This is different. Yeah, we're not running through the trees playing night games like we do in the desert. All right, so, anyways, that's one of Ori hates trees. All right, and beautiful rivers and streams, and the rope swings.
SPEAKER_05The river looks cool, but it looks cold, dude.
SPEAKER_04Bean did say that it's cold. Yeah, all the waters up here cold.
SPEAKER_05That's all I did ski in the Colombian River one time, freezing. Yeah, in the in it was the middle of it was August.
SPEAKER_04You're like, it'd be nice if he came back here in the summer, mom. Yeah, oh, it is the summer. Yeah, it is the summer. Nice. So we roll up the track. Ori, what's your I mean, obviously your first time being there. We've seen a lot on TV, but like, what's your first takeaway from somebody who's never been there before?
SPEAKER_05No, it was the well, the weather first time, it was amazing compared to we went to round one at Fox Raceway, and there was no shade. No shade at all, and I'm in a belly shirt and burning, cooking. And so we show up here, and I was I was kind of nervous because I felt like California immediately it was like, yeah, you're weird. And then this one because we went full proto, yeah. This one, I went full proto. I had the wig, I had the glasses, the belly shirt. But when I'm getting out, there's a lot of like moms and their kids. I'm like, oh, this is a little more family-oriented here. I don't know about this, but then once we got up into the line, we got a little oh woo, and okay, and then I was out of my shelf. It was good.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, then you got the gay chick to sign it through the yeah, yeah, and then oh woo until we went to KTM and it was like crickets, same exact thing. Nobody likes prod, dude.
SPEAKER_05No, no, I we had we had one guy that was stoked. Oh, nice when we went up horsepower hill first. He was like, and he had an accent. I don't know. Yeah, he's gonna do so good today. Watching him corner. It's so good. So we there was a one legit Prado fan, and then I think like someone that worked for him, someone that in a KTM button-up shirt was like, Yeah, that looks awesome. Can I take a picture of you? I'm gonna go show him at the KTM. So Deshree had a team George, Team Jorge shirt on, so he took a picture, went right to Prado to show him, which he definitely acknowledged us a lot more. Give us a little cow or no rock on before qualifying. He definitely but the first time he saw us was on qualifying and it was the the jump that Bean was talking about, right? He comes over the jump, and I'm in my full get up. Woo! He goes around the corner, almost stops at the hill, damn near breaks his neck to turn around, like, oh, that guy's back.
SPEAKER_04No, he's back, yeah. So not only did he oh, he's back, but dude, we had a couple girls in the pits.
SPEAKER_05Oh, yeah, we went to Parzilla. Chick was pumped.
SPEAKER_04She remembered you. She remembered. It was funny we were walking up, always like, dude, that it's not the same girl. I was a little nervous, dude.
SPEAKER_05I didn't like it that she knew me. Like, I was I don't know, I got a little, I got a little camera shy.
SPEAKER_01I was like, oh she said it was kind of hard to forget you. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. And uh yeah, I mean, we saw Tomac's dad in the pits.
SPEAKER_05Well, so listen to this, dude. Did we you two, were you guys paying attention? So John Tomac is walking past us, and Will like puts his finger in his face and looks at Luke. Luke, this is Tomac's dad, right here. And John's like, what the f Who is this guy?
SPEAKER_04That's not how it went.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_04It was really close, but not. It was very close. You're touching his nose.
SPEAKER_05You don't realize it's close because your arm's so damn long. It's right there. That's what it is.
SPEAKER_04And then the the boys high-five Deegan on the way. Deegan's coming off the track after qualifying. After he said his fastest the fastest time, he high-fied the boys.
SPEAKER_05And then yeah, dude, Deshra was pumped the one time that we we didn't have our phone out. Yep.
SPEAKER_04He came popping out of nowhere. Then Ori high-five Deanna.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, dude, the same hand, never washing it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Going right to my dad. Put it around his lips. Boom.
SPEAKER_04Wow. That's big. And I said hi to Chris Kiefer.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and he kind of side-eyed me. But yeah, he's like, hey, dicks.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, everybody side-eyed you. Dude, so it wasn't sunny like it was at Down in Paul's.
SPEAKER_05So much better. It wasn't sweaty.
SPEAKER_04And so nobody had their glasses on. But all these dudes, you know, we're we we look without moving our heads, you know.
SPEAKER_05It's like, dude, just look at me. Just dude.
SPEAKER_04I want side side-eye thing with side.
SPEAKER_05People think that they can't that we can't, I can't look at their face.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Well, because you're wearing those froze ones, they don't know where the heck you're looking, dude. Well, and I I walked up behind you, I was like maybe 10 feet behind you. So that's when everyone's starting to turn to each other and start talking about you as I'm watching. Do you see that guy? It said Team More or Team Prado or something. He's like wearing a belly shirt. You see him? Like all these people just turn in their heads as you walk by, and yeah, I'm hearing it all. They don't know I'm with you. So thank goodness. Yeah, yeah. I was like, I'm I'm not that guy.
SPEAKER_04So dude, yeah, it was a good day. So racing-wise, I mean well, before before we go to racing, we saw Denny.
SPEAKER_05Oh, yeah, dude. Mr. Falls is up there.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_05He comes popping down the well, no, he was he was up the hill, and you're like, man, who's this good-looking man that my wife has a crush on? That's Denny.

SPEAKER_05He said, What's waiting by the phone for you to call him? We get him on the pod. No, dude. You're just trying to get him on.
SPEAKER_04And then as soon as we walk away, Damon asked me like 50 questions about him. I'm like, oh, dude, I don't know. These are all great questions. Ask him. So now I got something to ask him. So we're going to have to somehow get him on.
SPEAKER_05Who do you think could put it on a tourniquet faster? Me or Damon?

So this is Kitchen's home track. Someone said that he lived right over the hill, right where we were at, and has his own single track from his house to the track.
SPEAKER_01That's true.

SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_05And he soft.
SPEAKER_04Okay, but is that really that much of a surprise? Has he ever done that great here?
SPEAKER_02He even said he was gonna suck. Yeah, dude, I just don't ride good here.
SPEAKER_01I think like fourth might be his best ever finish there.
SPEAKER_02Oh wow.
SPEAKER_01So never even been podium, I don't think.
SPEAKER_04Okay, when like why? Like just doesn't Joe would I think that that's what he would Joe would be like.
SPEAKER_05You on the bike? Bean. Oh, bean. He's already won there.
SPEAKER_04So he got sixth, right?
SPEAKER_05I guess so.
SPEAKER_04Okay. So yeah, last year he got 11th. So he did better than we did.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he went 6'6 today for five. Oh, five. There you go.
SPEAKER_05When we passed by Mitch in the pits and he was on the little gator, he looked miserable. I don't know if he just got RBF face. It's probably Sharby F. Were you wearing your Prado shirt at the time?
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Why doesn't they like me? Oh. Oh yeah, I forgot what I was wearing. In 24, he finished sixth as well.
SPEAKER_02So I thought Bean said that Mitch didn't like him. But doesn't like kitchen. Or doesn't like you. Mitch doesn't like you.
SPEAKER_05Oh, I don't know. No, no, no. Doesn't like Will. No, he doesn't like you. He was homeless eating his chicken ten minutes next to the house.
SPEAKER_02Well, I remember this story. Okay.
SPEAKER_04One time I sat on the ground. I remember this story, yeah. Dirty people. Ugh. Gross. Yeah, I've gone back as far as I can scroll on this thing here, and yeah, he's never done better than fifth.
SPEAKER_05So the section we were at, if you walked all the way up horsepower hill, we were kind of the back section.
SPEAKER_04And if you where Jet cut the where Jet went off the track.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, Jet cheated totally, went off the track. But you come off the up horsepower hill, and it's like this big roller into a left hander. And Davies went 1-1, and you can't see them coming up this hill, but you could hear Cole just and it's so crazy to listen to the 250s, their motors versus the 450s, like jet going across, you could barely hear his engine. Yeah. And even Deegan, he's known for reving, but definitely not like the 250. Yeah. And Davies. He would he must have been hitting because it was let me ask you this. When you're going up that hill, right before it crests where we were at into that corner, it's not like a jump right there, right?
SPEAKER_01No, you're just you're trying to look off, look for a breaking bump or something to kind of pretty load over it.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, so so that's what where I was getting at is Cole must have been hitting a jump prior or like a little rut or something, a kicker to kick him up and over this crest, which was insane. And just on the limiter, sometimes a jump almost into the corner, it felt like, and then left.
SPEAKER_02And you'd feel the bike hit the ground. Like that's right.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, we're like 20 feet away, and you could feel it in your feet. Feel it to in your feet, like the clock of the bike.
SPEAKER_02I'm like, oh my gosh, dude.
SPEAKER_04I like when you said, like, oh man, imagine how it feels on their feet. Yeah, imagine what they're feeling in their like legs. Because I can feel that in my legs, and I'm 25 feet away. Not even on the bike. One thing, too, since we're kind of talking about the hill, I know we're on 250s, but you know, when you're you're at the actual race, you don't see the whole track. You're kind of just focused on one little thing. So one little section. And when they're coming over that hill, it's funny to watch them shift down, especially in the 250. They'd come over the hill and they'd shift down in the air, and then some of them would even click it down twice. You could see their foot click, click, and then land and go through the corner. But it was just yeah, crazy to kind of like I would never think to shift down, especially twice. So what you're thinking fourth to second then?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, fourth to second.
SPEAKER_01I would imagine they're coming over that first bump on horsepower in third, shifting the fourth, and then you just lean back and handful throttle to the top.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And then click it down twice.
SPEAKER_05No, you said you you you you would never think to do that. Yeah, I don't think that's a good one. But do you think that maybe you do that subconsciously? And you've just never thought about, but maybe you are doing that up in the air.
SPEAKER_04I'll pull my clutch and hit the back brake, but I don't know if I shift. You shift the gear pros are they're they're really good.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they they do things.
SPEAKER_05No, I'm asking like you. Have you looked do you ever think like, hey, I need to shift down in the air coming into the corner? Once.
SPEAKER_01Not not twice. I don't think I shift down twice.
SPEAKER_04Oh, I thought you meant you thought about it once.
SPEAKER_05I don't think I've ever shifted it in the air. But maybe yeah, I'm not that definitely not that fast.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, there's not a lot of jumps in desert, so yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yep. Plus, you gotta go fast.
SPEAKER_02Just those big GLs here.
SPEAKER_05I I can't wait till I next time I ride, I'm gonna break my talice. Because I'm fast. I don't recommend.
SPEAKER_04I don't recommend. Join the club.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_04So yeah, Kitchen didn't do good, Davies did great, and then so uh, but I guess we're gonna go back and watch it.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, for the for the viewers for the viewers, you're gonna listen, or you you've already watched this or whatever. We were just there, saw two corners.
SPEAKER_04This is just our review of our day. So easy.
SPEAKER_05I think I heard Kitchen went down the first moto. Kitchen and Bomer took each other out, right?
SPEAKER_04Second corner is what I was thinking.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and then they were kind of chasing each other all the way through.
SPEAKER_04Yep. And he kind of got Baumaire there and put a couple bikes in between them.
SPEAKER_05Now then and then Bomer, the second moto, held him off and won.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Bomer ended up fifth in the second moto, uh Kitchen six.
SPEAKER_04There you go. So I and it's a little bit of a bummer because now I mean Davies. Well, it's it's good that Davies tightened up the points. Now he's only seven ahead. Sorry, seven behind Kitchen, but now Juju's way back. So I was like, dang it, he's like 22 or something.
SPEAKER_05Who do you want in both championships? 250, 450.
SPEAKER_01How do you 250s? I'd like to see Levi. I mean, he's from up here. Yeah. I watched that kid rip on a YZ 125 back before he turned pro. It was insane watching that kid on a 125. So yeah, it'd be cool to see that. Plus, Mitch could he could use something. I mean, he's he's like good. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04And then maybe the curves will be broken.
SPEAKER_05I hope so, dude. Well, dude, it's not getting any better. Why is it up? Because we were talking, we got old thrash. I'm like, he's going somewhere next year, and you're like, yeah, PC. I'm like, oh no. Yeah. Like, we should do his obituary now.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_05The bike is going to murder him.
unknownDude.
SPEAKER_05Uh yeah, he'll win one, he'll come out, maybe win the opener, and then the next one. I like worse than Faulkner. No, maybe not. No, there's there's no top and top and forkner to the conference. I hope not. Andrea Fasher. Andrea. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Is that his girlfriend or something?
SPEAKER_05No wife. Come on, don't disrespect Nate. My bad. Like that.
SPEAKER_04Nate. She looks good, huh?
SPEAKER_05She's very pretty. Alright. Okay. Moving on.
SPEAKER_04Take care. Take care. Let's give uh I mean Ryder D did great. He looked good. He's brilliant in Davies a little bit. And then my boy, Chance. Chance high. He did alright, huh?
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Okay. I told you, I said I thought the gear looked sick. I don't remember what your response was.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, the red and red. Yeah, he looked fast.
SPEAKER_05Do you guys have like a favorite kit that you guys liked?
SPEAKER_02TLD Barcha, dude. Yeah? Because it is so bright, so bright, and just how it fits on him. Super good. Like the pants. You like the tight. Shirt with that. Yeah, it's it's good.
SPEAKER_05I mean, I could see it. You're doing it right now.
SPEAKER_02It's good stuff.
SPEAKER_05Speaking of Barcha, we saw him run through the pits, and some kid ran up to him and like was in his face asking.
SPEAKER_04He's like, give me something. And Barca's like, what? I'm not gonna give you anything. Like he's super confused.
SPEAKER_05And then Barca's like rev-bombing dudes out of the way through the pits, like fans. It was awesome.
SPEAKER_04Typical. Never change. Did you have a favorite kit?
SPEAKER_05So originally it was oh shoot, that that fly neon, the white and neon.
SPEAKER_04Oh, that the Yamaha kids were wearing?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I was like, oh, I like that. But then when I saw Chance come around that first corner, dude, I was I was hot on chance all day. There it is. Nice.
SPEAKER_04I kind of like Prado was really easy to see in his little same gear, dude.
SPEAKER_05Same gear over and over.
SPEAKER_04I can never make this guy happy. Anything I ever like.
SPEAKER_02Wasn't Prado and Tomak weren't the same stuff?
SPEAKER_05No, because Prado's Fox. Tomak's Alpine Star.
SPEAKER_04They were similar, but they're kind of the same color scheme. What about what about Webb?
SPEAKER_05I didn't even notice, dude. I like I was more looking at his bike.
SPEAKER_04Okay, what about I think the only one who really had gear that was more like the military thing theme was just the the beta boys, the bosses wearing it.
SPEAKER_05I don't even notice. And he was right in the middle. Did you didn't even notice that either?
SPEAKER_04The beta boys were ripping it. They did super good.
SPEAKER_05Benny was out there washing his own bike. Yeah, for sure. Washing his boots. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. That a boy. Just bald and just scrubbing.
SPEAKER_05He would look better if he just shaved whatever the goatee off. Just go. He needs to go naked.
SPEAKER_026'4, washing his own bike and still beat Tomek straight up. Beat him bad. Boom, dude. I hope you hear that, Tomek.
SPEAKER_05Oh wow.
SPEAKER_02He hears it. I was disappointed.
SPEAKER_04I know his dad, all uh. Okay. Yeah, that was disappointing.
SPEAKER_05And even I mean, before we go on to that, okay.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, when we're on the 250s, what was your boy 71? Mumford. Mumfy.
SPEAKER_03Dude, Mumford.
SPEAKER_04Ripping. Super impressed. I yeah, every time he went by, I was like, Who is that? Whoa, what was who's in here? You told me, I think, three different times. That's Mumford. It's like, okay, sorry, Jesus. I used to have seen him up here, but yeah, he was on it on that KTM.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and it was an off-color KTM thing. I don't like his gear. He looked kind of like like a gray, just like the bed sheets, but if the bed sheets were worn down, so like those ones.
SPEAKER_04So worn out bedsheets.
SPEAKER_02What team was K KTM what? What team AO or whatever? Yeah. Their bikes were different, huh? They were different. They weren't doing it for me.
SPEAKER_04Well, I think there was it for the military theme. I know, but yeah. And they had like some gray, and then like the you still had the orange frame. You just you just can no matter what you do, you can't make KTM look good.
SPEAKER_02Somebody rode through and Ori was like, hey, are those duct tape graphics?
SPEAKER_05Like oh yeah, the numbers.
SPEAKER_02What why what bike was that?
SPEAKER_0571. It was Mumford.
SPEAKER_02Why does he have duct tape numbers?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I was like because it looked like a backpack, black background with white numbers. I'm like, dude, that guy's running duct tape numbers. And I got closer. I'm like, oh no, that's someone did that on purpose. By design. But it's not duct tape, it's whatever the graphic it looked like.
SPEAKER_02The design for military.
SPEAKER_01He he podiumed last weekend and budgets are tight now. Yeah. Like freaking duct tape bonus check. Yeah. Sorry, bud. We're running duct tape this week.
SPEAKER_05Not even duct tape, but like white electrical tape. It was thin. Anyways.
SPEAKER_01Hey, I got lots of that. Yeah. Mumford might be uh looking for a sponsorship.
SPEAKER_05TNS Mechanical.
SPEAKER_04Aiden Kiefer went 28-38.
SPEAKER_05Now, watching the guys up front, it's like wow, how smooth. Just effortless. Like Mumford taking that left hand since we're talking about him, that left hander with the leg out. And like, I want to I want to root for little Kiefer so bad, but it looks like it hurts to ride. Sometimes like the bike's like he's not smooth. Not smooth. Yeah. Yeah. Just like like maybe he just needs to find a different setting or something. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02I didn't even watch really watch him. Struggling.
SPEAKER_05Well, you know, the bike, the bike is just kind of just didn't look comfortable. Yeah, it didn't look comfortable.
SPEAKER_04In the first moto, he was running solid mid-pack and then yeah, just fade her out. But I mean, I can't imagine. I mean, he's getting thrown in with it, right? Like he didn't do all those little SMX or whatever. The next it's like I don't know. I think he's at least he's making the mains. Yeah. Right? Or the the motors, the motosh.
SPEAKER_05So do you like the gold wheels on the Honda?
SPEAKER_01I I do. I wasn't a fan at first, but now that everyone has black wheels, it's like, oh, it's something a little different. Kind of stands out.
SPEAKER_02It's even refreshing when the silver like wheels come back. No. You see, you don't like the silver wheel? No. I think something on the gas gas like it's just refreshing. I don't know. It's different because every bike has black wheels.
SPEAKER_05Sorry, Jake, if you're listening to gas gas, it's an ugly bike.
SPEAKER_02It is.
SPEAKER_05I don't like it. Really? Don't like it. Yeah. But the KTM looks good. Like the bright orange? The seat?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Dude, all of it. The KTM looks good.
SPEAKER_02It'll always look good.
SPEAKER_05When we rest, I'll kick your ass.
SPEAKER_02It'll always look good.
SPEAKER_05You ever rode an Austrian brand? Or trend?
SPEAKER_01I've never owned one. I've rode one like in maybe 07 or something. They were they were jumped.
SPEAKER_02Oh, those are horrible then. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01What do you want to say? He doesn't even have a bike.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, nice.
SPEAKER_04I'm over it. Dude, we saw some tall dudes today riding. Made me never want to ride again. They are just looking fast.
SPEAKER_05The way they look?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Blows?
SPEAKER_04Belows, and then that one kid with a super tall seat. Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah, that was embarrassing.
SPEAKER_02Is it because they don't look like no style points or what?
SPEAKER_04Oh, they just look is that all you care about? Lurpy.
SPEAKER_05Just style. No. What else? Black and white gear?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, and back pain.
SPEAKER_05Back pain.
SPEAKER_04Oh.
SPEAKER_05So, but like smelling the gas, being in the races.
SPEAKER_04Oh, dude. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Did did it want you like, oh, I need to go get one. Get a bike.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, but I'll forget about that tomorrow. Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_04But when it rains the first time at Logan Dale, and you guys all go, and I'm stuck sitting in the house just hearing rep limiters over the buy the res, I'll be I'll be sad.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Well, what are you gonna ride out with like Luke? Big enough on the 65 to you, bro. Rett Rhett doesn't want to go out.
SPEAKER_04If he's gonna be fast, he's gonna go with you anyway.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, you're right. We'll break his talus.
SPEAKER_04Okay, four, oh, 450. What was your what was your high and low, Ori? Give me your high and low on 450.
SPEAKER_05My high was that? Deegan didn't win.
SPEAKER_04Why was that your high?
SPEAKER_05I don't like him. Hold on, hold on. Let me back up. Let me back up. My high bee. Even though I don't like the guy, was seeing Parado run third and like, dude, he might get on the podium again, and I'm his one fan. It's because of me. He's gonna get a good result. He's gonna be paying me to come to these races soon. My low, we've already kind of talked about it. Eli 14, 14, whatever it was. Oh my god. Seeing some known you you named these names and I didn't know who they were, and they beat him.
SPEAKER_01He was battling with Vince Freeze for multiple laps. I just, yeah, something's not right.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, Lorenzo Lucrucio. Like, I mean, I've heard the name from Venezuela, but like, dude. Straight whooped him, huh? Yeah, Mitchell Harrison, Michael Hara, Benny Bloss. Like, dude, you gotta beat those guys. Like, what? I don't know. And he's when you're saying the announcers or whatever said that they haven't, he hasn't gotten on the book.
SPEAKER_05Weeds or JT on a podcast this week this week said that I guess he hasn't raced did he race last year? So it's been two years. I don't think he raced last year, he came back later. But said that he's never finished off the box at Wash Gul.
SPEAKER_01Now do you guys think this is still the injury, or is it maybe time?
SPEAKER_04Dude, it's old age, bro. Don't tell Derek. Like, or he got out of the truck after being at the track all day.
SPEAKER_02He's like, oh damn, I'm sore. I think he's all up in his freaking head. I don't think it's the injury or time. I think he's just such a head case. Like, oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_05Well, you just said Tomac's a head case.
SPEAKER_02He's a head case.
SPEAKER_05When I was watching the fighting words, like, you know, I'm not super team Tomac, but hey, Tomac's not a headcase.
SPEAKER_01That's a head case. 100%. Wow. When I was watching him, it it just looked like he's not willing to risk it anymore. Like boom. He did not pushing it. He he was just a head case. He's just being smart. You can't do that. He's a father of four. You can't do that. You gotta shut off and go.
SPEAKER_05He also has RBF. Really. Yeah. Why is he so mean? Yeah. Like he won't even look at you. Yeah. Like he wouldn't even, he wouldn't even side-eye me.
SPEAKER_02Like my wife. My wife is RBF bad, dude.
SPEAKER_05No, not when she looks at me, dude. Dude. When she's on her walks and I say, hey, Mrs. Bush, she's like, hey, Ori.
SPEAKER_02She's like, is that Prado's? Yeah. Number one fan. Hey, go put that wig on for me.
SPEAKER_05Sorry. Yikes.
SPEAKER_04Alright, yeah, that's a good low for sure. Damon, same question. Did you have a high and low on the on the 450 class? No, that was it for me.
SPEAKER_02It's just the high was I don't. It's to watch Jet and Hunter and like even Deegan just watch them ride like in person versus TV, it's a whole different freaking game. It's on unreal. Their corner speed, they just never let off. They'll hit the straightaway, and the corner is the same speed as the straightaway.
SPEAKER_04Just lean it in.
SPEAKER_02Feet don't come off the pegs. It's just it's crazy. And then just the low would be tomach. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Now I I I do gotta go back when I said I was happy that Hayden did win. I gotta give him props because he must he went down or something.
SPEAKER_04The first four.
SPEAKER_05And so where where we were at that first lap, he was almost dead last and not riding very like he was probably shaking himself off, going slow. By the next lap, he was in the top ten. Dude was insane, ripping. Yeah, almost landed on a guy. It was like, Oh, who is that? Oh my gosh, it's Hayden.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, coming through. Yeah. Yeah. Now, with that speed that we saw him coming through the first one, the second moto was a good start. It was like, oh, this speed's gonna carry through and he's gonna give the boys a run. Well, since Jet's a cheater and he cut the course, we didn't even get to see that.
SPEAKER_05Unacceptable.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Damon Damon, I'm surprised your high is not Gary Sutherland.
SPEAKER_04Oh, oh yeah. Come on.
SPEAKER_01Come on.
SPEAKER_02Good on Gary Sutherland. I'm I'm proud of you, dude. That's freaking awesome.
SPEAKER_00I think you even called it what place did you say he's gonna get? I said what did I say, 36th?
SPEAKER_0235th? What'd he finish?
SPEAKER_0034th.
SPEAKER_02Nice, all right.
SPEAKER_00Or 33, 35.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he got the last qualifying spot for the day and then made into the main. 40 years old, right? 40 years old, that's awesome.
SPEAKER_05So for those that don't know Gary Sutherland, he used to race for like off-road factory cowie with Destri Abbott. Yeah, he's Cowie.
SPEAKER_02He had KTM deal. Yeah, KTM, rode for purvines.
SPEAKER_05He's won a national Heron Hound and a works title. You said the same year?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. You've rode his bur his purvine bike?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, rode his purvine spike.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. And he did some weird stuff, like cut bolts in half.
SPEAKER_02He shaved down some bolts. Wow. A lot of titanium bolts. He'd take like seven pounds.
SPEAKER_05Best bike you ever rode?
SPEAKER_02Best turning bike I rode, yeah.
SPEAKER_05Turning bike.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_05You haven't rode mine.
SPEAKER_04And this is this is his only result in AMA. In like a national.
SPEAKER_02So his last they would have. Somebody, and I don't I don't recall who it was.
SPEAKER_05It was Kiefer.
SPEAKER_02The last time he rode Washugal was 20 years ago in the 250 class. It's been 20 years, and he qualified again, dude. Wow.
SPEAKER_05And what was crazy is we we kind of sat up there at the start for 450B practice and watched them all on the on the line there. And you have all these baby face kids. Like they look like okay. Okay, let me finish this.
SPEAKER_04I love when he said stuff like that. He's about to get super passionate.
SPEAKER_05Okay. But you have all these babyface kids, and they're all kind of like nervous in the game. They got Gary just chill, like like stone cold, a little smirk, like, I got this. I got this. Okay, but going back, walking through some of those the pits with the private tears, like the okay, they look like little children. Yeah. But then, like I had one, his mom is like, my baby, just rubbing him, and he's on his phone. And then the other guy's just like, just they're babying them. Like, I guess he's a rider and he's supposed to, but it's just like it irked me. It gave me the ick a little bit. They're I think it was their parents just what do you want to do?
SPEAKER_04Rub himself?
SPEAKER_05Yes, I don't know. I mean, that's what I do to my kid, but watching it from the outside, it was like, like, do something. Like, get off your phone, focus on the race.
SPEAKER_01One of the podcasts I was listening to said there's a rider, he does not know how to buckle his helmet.
SPEAKER_05Wow. A pro.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's crazy. Come come buckle my helmet. I can't do it.
SPEAKER_05And I heard it's like a like a factory guy. I don't know who it is, but they said it's like a well-known name.
SPEAKER_01It's like a 50 rider?
SPEAKER_05No, no, no. It's it's a pro.
SPEAKER_01Wait, like on a full-size bike? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Not not a kid. Oh baby kid. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_05No, when when I think it was the review show, they're talking about how they like or Moto 60. They're talking about the way they pick up the bikes. I don't know if it's Zacko was talking about the Oh, yeah, behind yourself. Well, they're also like Zach's like, yeah, I I know a kid that can't buckle his helmet.
SPEAKER_04That's Vince Freezy. Can you can your kid buckle his helmet?
SPEAKER_05No. But I've I've tried to make him like put it through the loop. He puts it through the loop. He can't get it back under the other way. And to be fair, my dad will call me out and he says, I do it wrong, which I do. But he taught me wrong.
SPEAKER_04Isn't there only one way to do it?
SPEAKER_05No. I found another one.
SPEAKER_04Both spread them over one under the other.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_04So that's oh my gosh, Ori's helmet's been wrong.
SPEAKER_02What are you doing? It's just wrong.
SPEAKER_05But you just stick it through. Put it through. Stick it through. No, I stick it through and then I full send. I stick it through. Like you know how you you know how you go stick it through and then loop it back and it's facing the other way?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I stick it through, stick it through, put it in between, and then go back the other way. Oh it's not right. Oh. But you know what? Dirt pig, you're listening. That's how you taught me when I was seven, and that's just what I've always run.
SPEAKER_04At least that's how you interpreted what he taught you.
SPEAKER_05Correct. That's how I interpret it.
SPEAKER_04Because he probably ties his helmet right.
SPEAKER_05He does. Okay, so but now when I do my I I know how to do it right. All right. I but when I do it right, I don't like it. It doesn't feel right. I I gotta do it the wrong way, so I'll fix it. But then I had the helmet, your helmet that I bought off of you. Yeah, the little strap is not as long as my other helmet, so I can't do it. I have to do it the right way. Oh, good. But if it's longer, thank goodness. If it's the longer way, I'm like, no, I'm gonna make a U-turn with it.
SPEAKER_04Dude, how many helmets have popped off when you weeded? Never.
SPEAKER_05All right, because it can't because other people like I've my arms have been dead, and I have people who tried to take my helmet off for me, and I'm like, what the hell? I can't it's on there, dude. If that helmet comes off, my head's coming off.
SPEAKER_04We got way bigger problems. That's funny. Yeah, that's weird. One of my loads is watching Marchbanks weed it right in front of us.
SPEAKER_05Oh, you can feel and hear the thud of his body when he wrecked.
SPEAKER_04That was that one was fast, and he was looking good. And like I just a little bit of me is like, yeah, go prove to Chase that cowies can you know can hold their own. And then he does that, and then he just weeds himself. It's like, oh, and it took him a second or two to get up, and then I don't think we saw him. I mean, he rode off, but I don't think we saw him again. No moto two. Yeah, nothing in Moto 2, or yeah. So that's a bummer. But that's my low for sure. Let's see.
SPEAKER_01Did you have a higher low that we haven't already talked about? Mine was gonna be March Banks. Yeah, we we watched that right in front of us. That sucks. He's been he's been doing good this year, and for that to happen. Hopefully, everything's fine. He'll be he'll be back in they got a couple weeks off, so yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04That should be good.
SPEAKER_02I forgot about that. The crash was heavy, dude. Yeah, that's and you can see the freaking whole fight just leave his body. He's like, Oh my gosh, I can't do it. I did it again.
SPEAKER_05I can't keep doing that. Did you did you guys see any much crashing in front of you today? Besides that, when we went down to Fox Raceway, it felt like people were wadding it up in front of us everywhere, anywhere on the track.
SPEAKER_04Especially in qualifying. Yeah, there's a lot of wrecks. No, I don't dude. There wasn't a lot of passing. There wasn't a lot of wrecks. I mean, I don't know. It was a little dull. The 250s, I was like, besides watching Kitchen kind of come up through a little bit, you know, and Bomber, but like, yeah, a little bit dull. We watched that one in the I think we saw one other guy tip over and pick it up in the corner. Two bikes break. Yeah. Yeah. Nothing too crazy. Luke, you're standing there like you want to say something. You wanna you wanna say something real quick?
SPEAKER_05No, you do good. Now you you said this was your first national, right, Damien Damon?
SPEAKER_02First national, yeah.
SPEAKER_05How was it compared to Supercross?
SPEAKER_02To the intensity, I feel like is not as high in outdoors as like supercross, but I feel like you truly get to see like a true athlete of like what they are doing this, if that makes sense. Like you well, okay, thanks. So just watching a race and watching how they're hitting like these ruts and everything, I'm like, dude, that is unreal. Like it's just so cool to see that like how fast they're and whatnot, kind of like how I mentioned earlier. But the intensity is not the same. I think so you it's more more intense, it's more intense than supercross, I think. But like the actual skill level doing this is is harder. See, I feel the opposite. Really?
SPEAKER_05I feel the I feel the opposite just because and it it's more so watching the just the speeds are feel so much more faster. And you know how intense I am because I'm fast so fast. No, but no, just watching them like maybe be because maybe because I can relate to them because oh, I could go out there and do that track. I would never be able to go on a super cross track and even double anything, you know what I mean? I'd roll every single thing, yeah. But when I see the super cross track, it's more I guess I mean obviously more technique, so it's the way they're positioned on the bike. Whereas this, I feel like you have to have kind of more balls just to go so fast in a straight line. Like a I don't know. We got the toilet in the background. Heck yeah.
SPEAKER_04I I feel like it's since it's such a long race, it's not as intense as the supercross, right? Like it's just you know, there's just more time to just kind of let people gap out and stuff, but yeah, I feel like the speeds and the yeah.
SPEAKER_05I I like watching supercross better, yeah. Like in person, yeah, but I like the vibes of outdoors.
SPEAKER_04Do you think do we need to break out no product?
SPEAKER_05Not at Supercross, not at Supercross. Why? It's not the same vibe. I got offered drugs twice. Once at Paula, and then here today, I'm like, no, no, thank you. Not drugs, but like weed. No, no, thank you. I don't do that.
SPEAKER_02He's gonna wonder where you're at, though. Like, where's my one fish?
SPEAKER_05Where's my man? We need uh me.
SPEAKER_04So, Dama, would you go to another one? Like, are you in? Yeah, yeah. That was fun. Red Bud. Oh, dude, I don't know if I could hang Red Bud, they get wild. I never been to Red Buddh.
SPEAKER_05I can't do I can't bring Team Team George remember. I get beat up.
SPEAKER_01Red, white, and blue. Yeah, you wouldn't get beat up, dude. Fourth of July weekend. Yeah, it's not gonna fly, bud. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gonna be toast.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so you you've been to a few nationals now. How was it compared to MXON?
SPEAKER_04Same thing, or I mean there's way more people at MXON even.
SPEAKER_05Oh, really?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, like you couldn't even find a spot to I don't know, you were there too. Uh I feel like there's just people freaking everywhere.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and it's different because you got all the countries, more people representing. We see a few people with the Australian flags today, but when you're at MXON, it's everywhere, different colors.
SPEAKER_05More team Jorge people, lots of them.
SPEAKER_01I mean, we we saw leprechauns running on the track, yeah. Yeah, it gets wild.
SPEAKER_04Nice. And then out in the pits or the like the lot B, they call it, dude. Like I you could see it getting loose, and it was just middle of the day still.
SPEAKER_05Middle of the day.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so I'm sure that at the night and leaving there was yeah, it was bad. But no, I liked I really liked this one. This was better than Paula in my mind. Um, I come to this one again for sure. It seemed like I mean there was a ton of people. There was a lot of people, but yeah, you can't trent it. It seemed like there's more people this year than other years that you've been, or not necessarily.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I I think my buddy said he was talking to Hoffman and he said this is the best turnout they've ever had. Oh, so heck yeah. Wow. So yeah, I it was was really good for them.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, good for them for sure. And and leaving this one wasn't bad. We we parked pretty far out. We got right on and went on down the way. It's kind of it's kind of funny the boys in the back of the truck flirting with the girl behind us for far too long.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, way too long.
SPEAKER_04Playing paper rock scissors out the window, ice by. Yeah, it was it was funny.
SPEAKER_01It was good. Did you guys feel like this one was you said it was more family, family oriented than then Paula? You was Paula pretty crazy?
SPEAKER_05Dude, there was just a lot of hating digan wannabes at California. I feel like William mentioned just the the people up here seem a little more respectful than like Southern California. Yeah, like I now I only got a few disgusted looks today, but uh that you saw. Yeah, that I saw. But like, yeah, no one was like just straight up rude.
SPEAKER_02You did you get a couple of that in Paula? Yeah, oh yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. At the podium, the guy was like uh team Jorge, that guy sucks. And I tried to explain to him it was a joke, and he was not having it. Yeah, I don't even know. I did at the podium today though, we had some like you know, farm farmer boy look over to me in disgust. He looked at our kids with their shirts off, and then me and shake his head, just mad that we were in his presence. Which I felt like that's what Tomac as he drove by, rode by yeah. He's like, I'm not gonna look at this loser.
SPEAKER_04So next time we need all collar churches.
SPEAKER_05Should I do team meet Eli?
SPEAKER_02A boring person, dude. Yeah, we need to live like a fire for the dude behind us like nothing behind the eyes, dude. Just dude behind us is trying to start his chainsaw, dude. We need to be like him. Trying to start it? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, he was yanking on that thing, dude.
SPEAKER_05Good thing it didn't. Good thing it didn't light. Speaking of annoying, the boys, dude, they loved the the horns.
SPEAKER_04Dude, the horns went they were hard the first two motos. Oh yeah. I'm surprised they have anything left in them. There, yeah, that was a lot of things.
SPEAKER_05I'm surprised we didn't get any like, hey, can you knock that off? No by anyone else?
SPEAKER_04Nobody showed anything.
SPEAKER_05They understood. Yeah, hey, this is what we paid for.
SPEAKER_04And Luke said we're locking out. I was like, supercross better, motocross better. He's like, no, this is what better. I think but like he's like he's like a go go go go go kind of kid. So he's like up, down, around side, you know, playing the dirt over here, you know.
SPEAKER_05And they would be like, I'm glad that Luke was here to hang out with Destri.
SPEAKER_04Oh, yeah. We wouldn't have done good alone. Yeah, yeah. Little Styles, same thing. Styles could play in the dirt for days.
SPEAKER_05Now you have the two boys, you have a third?
SPEAKER_01Just two boys and a girl. Doctor? A girl. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05She named after a motocross racer as well.
unknownNope.
SPEAKER_01She is not. She was after Johnny Cash. Oh. His name's Cashlin. Cashlin.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I like it. Like it. Now, are they riding bikes at all?
SPEAKER_01Roxon, we we raced a couple seasons and then he was like, I want to try some tackle football. He's going to the league, dude. You guys are you're out there training? Yeah, yeah, he's taking it serious. It's cool. He he loves it. And that's all I ask as long as he finds something. Like I can see the passion that I had for dirt bikes in his eyes for football. So that's cool. It's not my passion, but well, yeah, as long as he has what he wants, and it's probably better that way, anyways. It's not me living through him or trying to push him. I like he's just doing it. So so that's cool. Styles just kind of tags along. He he's up for everything. We go to the bike track. He likes that. He likes to wrestle, he likes to play football, basketball. He don't care. He's he's down for whatever. Down for the cards. Yeah, so we'll see what happens. He's only five right now, so we'll see what what the future brings.
SPEAKER_05What what about the girl?
SPEAKER_01She she's a cheerleader. She cheers, she did competitive chair for a while, and now she's just high school cheer stuff.
SPEAKER_05Nice. And she's a favorite, right?
SPEAKER_01A favorite? Yeah. She's she's a little girl, dude. She is my little girl. She's shit. She's 15. It's a lot sometimes. Oh, 15. Oh, I can't.
SPEAKER_05My daughter's 12. It's like sorry, 11. And she's right on the verge of being like becoming a woman. It's like, oh, just let it happen already. Like, get it. Start the flow.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_04I I don't think that you want that, dude. I hear you.
SPEAKER_05Okay, wait till wait till your little girl gets there.
SPEAKER_04I can't wait.
SPEAKER_05Also, I'm gonna I'm gonna throw a party all red. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Okay. We're gonna have like red velvet cake, red, coming, just red everything. Nice.
SPEAKER_04Awesome. Who's who you inviting over?
SPEAKER_05Her girlfriend soon.
SPEAKER_04All of her friends.
SPEAKER_05Nice. I'm gonna party.
SPEAKER_00Good for you. Sorry. I don't nice. So that 450 race. Um yeah, dirt bikes. This is how it goes.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. You know.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I got a whole lot more to say about the day.
SPEAKER_01What what do you guys think Deegan's feeling? I know on the podium. Frustration. Yeah, on the podium, he acts cool, like, oh yeah, it's fun. But the Lawrence just they start walking away from him, and Jet went down, and then you could see Deegan got some like excitement, like, oh, and he starts revving the bike like he's he's coming, and Jet just walks away again.
SPEAKER_05Have you seen the the like Instagram clip of him last week? There's a video of him getting off his bike and mother ever then like mad, I think, but he also used it in one of his clips to hype himself up.
SPEAKER_01This was Deegan? Deegan. Yeah, I think I saw that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Did you take that as like a frustration?
SPEAKER_01I don't know what to take anything with Deegan. It's just Deegan stuff. I don't know. You don't know.
SPEAKER_04I don't know what he's doing. Yeah, it's gotta be frustrating, especially you know the kid just fell down and he's getting up. Whenever you fall down, you just kind of like one, you spike in your heart rate and just kind of shakes you off a little bit. You get out of your flow to get up and then still not be able to catch him and then watch him walk away seven seconds. Like that's gotta be demoralizing. And like you said, Deegan does his own little thing in his head, but he's gotta he's gotta be unhappy with it. It seemed like he's fine on the podium, but he's gotta just keep that in the height bank or something. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02But it comes back to his rookie year too, though. But he's also very good at adapting, I think. Like he'll see Jet and Hunter speed, and he's gonna adapt to that. He's not just gonna through his career let those two just frickin' take him to the park, dude. He's gonna adapt and be like, All right, these guys are going that fast. It's time to step it up. So he'll be there.
SPEAKER_01And he he's right there, and it's his rookie year, like you said. So like there's nothing to be mad about, but it's The talk that he brought into it. That's the only thing it makes it look not good because RIP jet, and now you can't even beat him. So yeah.
SPEAKER_04You beat him one time, one moto, and because he fell down or whatever, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah. I mean, as far as 450s, that was when Jet went down, that was like the most exciting thing was well, I mean, Tomac battling with Freezy. That was a pretty good battle. But uh everyone kind of spaced out and it just kind of stayed that way. It was nice. I I don't know. I didn't think it was the most exciting race.
SPEAKER_04So similar question, just in the opposite. So what do you think uh Jet's feeling about with these little tipovers that he keeps doing that they're costing him the wins?
SPEAKER_01Do you think that he's I I think Jet is very frustrated with just his body not working the way he wants it to. He knows what he can do, he knows the speed he has. His body is just it's me, it's not 100% like it used to be. It's probably just super frustrating. Like, dude, I know I can do that. I know I used to do that. Yeah, now it's just not right. And like I have a buddy that he messed his leg up and like he's got some like ligament damage or something, and he he said his balance just isn't right. And uh Jet mentioned that too. Like, he just doesn't feel balanced. And my my buddy said like when he rides a bike, he'll like swerve, like it just uh is his something in his legs weird. You know, I wonder if Jet has something like that going on where he's it's just not balance feeling.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, and balance is hard too because like how do you get that back until unless until things are 100%? And now you've been favoring that leg for so long that you're compensating with the other one and you know, and throwing things all off. Will it ever be 100%? I don't know, right? I don't yeah. What is the new 100%?
SPEAKER_05Well, what about you guys have had similar injury injury? Are you guys back to where you were before?
SPEAKER_04Damon shaking this head, no 75 if that really in in range of motion or in balance all both, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, you could have been 25% faster. Oh my god, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'd say, yeah. Yeah, what about you trying? Mine was almost 10 years ago, and yeah, I still still feel it.
SPEAKER_05Now, is it an everyday struggle with everyday activities?
SPEAKER_01Or yeah, both nod, yes. Yeah, like any. I can if I think about it, I can feel it right now. It it just feels like a sore ankle, especially after walking up and down hills today. Yeah, you you feel it.
SPEAKER_05Hardware in the ankle or just the hip?
SPEAKER_01Both.
SPEAKER_05Oh.
SPEAKER_01Did you get yours out? Didn't help.
SPEAKER_05Did not help.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Damon and I talked about that because I was like, man, I hope I take mine out. And he's like, damn.
SPEAKER_05Because I took mine out of my head.
SPEAKER_01So don't get your hopes up.
SPEAKER_05You took yours out of your collarbone. That helped a lot much better. I took it out of my femur much better.
SPEAKER_02But those were long bone, long bone. Yeah. Joint.
SPEAKER_04That's that's the joint.
SPEAKER_02It's the joint.
SPEAKER_04That sucks. You never done anything to your knees though?
SPEAKER_01No, knees have been fine's been fine, yeah. Keep them protected. Yeah. Always wore knee braces and never had a problem. Just below and above. Knee braces did their job, I guess.
SPEAKER_04Perfect. So, okay, so we talked about Jet's thinking. We're talking about Deegan's thinking. So, do you think Hunter's affected by either one of whatever's going on back there? Because it seems like it doesn't affect him at all.
SPEAKER_01That's what's super funny to me is like Hayden and or yeah, Hayden and Jet seem to have this beef in going at it while Hunter is just off in the distance running away at the points. Like, you guys might want to worry about this guy over here.
SPEAKER_04Right. Like he had he had one or two little goofy, but that happens to everybody. You know what I mean? Like you're just pushing that limit, and every now and again that limit's gonna you're gonna cross it and you're gonna fall. But the uh yeah, I don't know. I think that it's good for him though, because I think like he's just gonna keep on creeping on away. And we all got three left, and he's up, you know, nine or whatever it is. And you know.
SPEAKER_05Alright. Jet or Hunter. Who takes it?
SPEAKER_04At this moment, I'm gonna go Hunter.
SPEAKER_05Jet or Hunter.
SPEAKER_04Hunter.
SPEAKER_05Jet or Hunter.
unknownJet.
SPEAKER_05It's been Hunter from day one. You guys are bandwagoners. Ori over here. It's been a hunter from day one. Now I'm still high on Juju, but I don't think he'll do it. Is everyone ahead? Who's not a head case?
SPEAKER_02He's so strong in the head. Jet is so strong in the head.
SPEAKER_05He's got really strong head game. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_01Somebody has to. 10 out of 10 head.
SPEAKER_02He's gonna win it.

And the cop comes up, he asks for insurance registration, all that, and Derek gives it to him. See, your passenger doesn't have a seatbelt on. I'm gonna write him a ticket.
