[Assistant] It is important. You know what I heard? Allegedly that that, uh, three finger, uhm, the tight butthole switch to white power was a joke that backfired. I need, I need more. What does it mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, it's, I can't cite it, I can't like, I just heard that allegedly somebody- What's the context? Allegedly somebody put out that the three fingers up in the air is the W for white power or-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's a W and a P cause the thing makes the P. Oh, is that what it is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. But I, I did hear the, uh, allegedly that it was a joke that somebody put out to say how absurd this is. That you can take something as simple as like A-okay, man, and turn it into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually became reality. And this is what I think that's why context is out. Any satirization in comedy is fucking dead. You cannot do a satire anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about when we came up with the idea of Stan Halen to kind of illustrate how we're not what that is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's that. Uh, he wears golf gear constantly. And we wanted to be like him and then found out that we just couldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but that's, that's why, yeah, that's, that's why like when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Tyka come out with, uh, with fucking Jojo Rabbit in the actual trailer, it says like, in big bold letters, a satire for the ages. Like it has to, you have to really put the context of a satire out there in order for people to understand it. Because if you don't,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to put the context of sat, but satire is not really supposed to be beholden to saying that it's a satire. You're supposed to be able to look at it and be like, that's so fucking absurd. That's obviously a satire. That's the fun of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to really throw it out there. You have to throw it in people's faces or to cover yourself basically, otherwise you're going to get like, you know, mobbed on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's a health, there's a healthy thing happening with the internet and social media that's like, I would call like a global empathy, where now you're exposed to everybody that you may have not have been exposed to before and you would joke about it. And now it's like, actually, hey, that hurts me and 10,000 other people's feelings. And you're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a lot of people. Maybe not on earth, but like if all of a sudden 10,000 people showed up on your street to knock on your door and say, dude, you just fucking dissed me and everything like about me. You'd be like, oh, okay. Not bad. So like, it's so true. It makes you think twice about the jokes you're spitting, you know, like, and you really got to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was born with a hee haw and was teased constantly about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think there's a guy out there named Kink Shane that's like, he's gotta like correct people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no. I'm saying like he's into it. He's into kinky stuff. So he's like online. He's like, welcome to kink Shane. Uh, and they're like, well, what, what, what, what? I don't know. I think he'd be called kinky Shane. Let me save this for my other podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it? Can you explain to me what an OnlyFans is? Cause I don't know, I have no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this is a porno thing? It's an anything. I think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait a second, I wanna say allegedly in there, I think the whole thing she said was she's gonna go on fans only and not show anything, but you'll get to see something that nobody else will get to see, which is like her daily routine or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you to be the Google guy. She said there's not going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she did make two million dollars. So she, so she made em, she made em two million dollars off of a miscommunication. In a day. And I'm saying, yeah, let's join this motherfucker. As long as we rubber band our dicks together. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will not rubber band our dicks together for an extra 250 dollars. A bouquet of ding dong? Suck each other, we will not suck each other's dingleberries for an extra 250 bucks. Oh god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, so yeah, so like what is this? This is like cameo, but porno is allowed on it and all that good stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cameo, cameo is strange anyways, like cameo is like- Are you on cameo, Kyle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greetings Adam. Uh, dude, yea, I thought about it, but then I was like, nah, I'm not gonna do it. Uh, that's, it seems pretty wacky. Yours would be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, I think like people like, uh, what's uh, Caitlyn Jenner. Wow. She charges like, uh, like 2 G's, 2500, something like that. Every time she says happy birthday to someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, he's mad. Uh, she said she did not want to show those things, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we were, we moved, we were talking about cameo, cause we were talking about how it's weird, like this is just the porno version of cameo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is cameo. Man, you know what? I got, I don't like people doing cameo, like getting, getting old ex famous people or whatever to do cameo so they can kinda like clown on them. It's fucking gross. I don't like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, just hang, I just wanna finish my sentence, which was that, uh, Bismarcky is in the hospital and maybe be dying right now. Really? Just a heads up on that one. What's up, what's up, what's up with Bismarcky?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's COVID related, but, uh, yeaah. I think he had diabetes in the past. Uhm, so we hope he heals up. But yes, to get him. But I want to get him on the up and up. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can beat diabetes? Is that, like, if you had it in the past, can you, can you not have diabe- Or you can maintain. Yeah, I'm saying, like, I remember him announcing, like, he had diabetes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, I see what you mean. Allegedly. I was just, I didn't know that, I didn't know that you could, if you could, I didn't know you could like, you know, put diabetes into remission or however you want to describe that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you do insulin and all that shit. Oh, it's just, it's managed. Oh, I see. Yes. You can manage it. Yeah, you like- And at that point, it's no longer a threat to your-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, you just gotta like, not be sippin' a gang of orange juice or whatever. Yeah, you gotta watch your shugs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll be the best $2.99. Oh, $290. Nah, it's not too bad. How long is the chat? Does he got a cap on it? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, that is such a strange way of thinking about this celebrity, like it's like phone sex when we were kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like for only $1.99 a minute, I will, uuuh. Like what does that mean? Wait, will the boys have conquered, will the boys have conquered Kyle and Blake? Will you tell everyone out there about the, the number you would call to find out the time? Oh, multiple Mona.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was like 6 7 6 1 1 1 1 or 1 2 3 4. It spelled like popcorn. And this one was like 7 6 7 1 2 3 4. They switched some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You call, so popcorn, you call and you got the time. It would say at the beep, specific standard time is this. That's the context. Back in the day when, when nobody had a fucking cell phone that was all sent up to the same thing, you had a watch and you would have to call a number and it would say at the tone, the time is exactly blah. And you would go boop and synchronize your watch. But in Concord you had... So some...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, does that exist anymore? Where's that who? Dude, I called that I called that number so many times outside of Mountain Mike's Pizza just to confirm that she was saying sex instead of six. And that was like the fucking hottest thing to eight year old me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it one, it was 1-800 or 1-900? It was a local number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was so dope. You guys didn't have that? Don't assume Mona's gender, no. You didn't have a sex version of popcorn?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While we're talking about early porno, did you guys ever do the scrambled porn or what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you eat eggs and watch porn. What? Scramble? Thank you, thank you. Where you could cross your eyes and then, cause it would split it down the middle so it would be like the opposite sides, but if you crossed your eyes it would line up kinda right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But sometimes they were like in like different colors, like a light blue or like green or something like that. But it was still coming in good enough to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I saw one! The audio, but also, so the audio was just regular. So you were hearing people fucking, but you just couldn't see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup. You knew what the setting was. Like you could hear jail cell doors close and you're like, oh, we're in a jail. Okay. That's, I know what those bars are. That's clear. Okay. You know where that's going. Seven year old you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, oh yeah. Oh, I hope I know where it's going, cause I know where I'm going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember rocking a Pornhub hat for like a week and then just being like, nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, hang on, no, she was not down. And we were just like, well, we're not going to initiate either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is for real, who is Trump's friend? Who's that guy's homie that you're like, oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smartest. Who's this guy? It's Hannity, dude. Who? Hannity? Hannity. Yeah. Hannity, I hear that he talks to Hannity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly dude, I was scared too. But I just want to say this right here, right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. Thank you, bro. Thank you. I'm gassed. I'm so gassed. I'm gonna stay me. I'm so gassed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a compliment. It was just a real easy chat today, guys. I know it got kicked off for about two minutes because of Zoom. Stock must be plummeting. Uh, but it's good to hear from you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to go ahead and take back the dingleberries. Uh, it's... I just could have used a more unique word and been myself rather than using a word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm talking about the use of the dingleberry word. I could have come up with a better like wing whammy flappy. You know what I mean? Like something new and fresh. Right, right. Oh, you like I'd use dingleberry and that's where I think it was too vulgar for our fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think it drew a parallel that people already knew and it painted me in a corner that I wasn't trying to go, but I did, I did take ownership of it and I rolled with it. It's sucking dingleberries. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking gas, dawg. So that was a, that was a, that was a take back or an apology? Well that was a... I just need to, for the records. Yea, that was actually a take back that turned into a non-apology because Adam thought that my take back was an apology and so I'd like, maybe he wants to take back the fact that he thought it was an apology because it was actually a take back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I want to compliment Adam for gassing me. Got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, hey, uh, like, like we're always giving each other crap, uhm, was it a pressure packed day to day? Like, what, what'd you do? Like, just, just relive the win and just ease it on in, pack it on into a Monday or what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, RV's just as gnarly as I am, dude. That guy, hey, his race bonuses are way more than mine were, so he's in a lot better shape than me, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Kaden Coop. Thanks for, uh, joining RV and I. I know you're always busy with other people doing stuff and I know you have a busy schedule and I know you had, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Swim lessons with the little one, which dude, I don't know. Do you really go and watch that straight up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm fully involved too, but like the swimming lessons was one of the things that got me cause I, I called it controlled drowning is what I called it, dude. It's just like, it, it, there was nothing fun about it the whole time, you know, and these little infants, you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, did you, did you like the, uh, did you like the track this weekend, like from the get-go or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out of that corner, like do the 3-3-1 before the finish ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I was telling RV before, uh, before we got you on early on when we were doing, talking some stuff. And I, I felt like watching you guys in practice, Coop, that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that it had more options and you tell me if, if I'm wrong, but I thought it was, it had more options in practice than it did in the race. Is that because, is that true? And if so, why do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking of our conversation yesterday, but like, do you, did you think when you first saw that first rhythm section,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I don't know if you watched some of the other guys, dude, it was gnarly. Well, number one, your teammate had a gnarly get off. He had a hell of a finish too in the way. Good job, Justin. Dude, that's to come back from that. He did a great job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, uhm, is your, uh, is your boys still flamin' me hard for, uh, callin' it like, hey, Chase was gonna, Chase was gonna catch you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got rid of, they got rid of that, uh, that graphic or logo. Aaron, we need to figure out, like, we need to tell, we need to tell the people on the bus to get it back going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh dude, I was, I was telling Coop RV on the, on the, on the way home. It's like, yeah, I was strolling through X and some dudes like, yeah, how about Sexton? You said, watch this. He's going to catch him. Like, that's right. I said, he's going to catch him. I never said he's going to pass him. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I call it like I see it, bro. You might not like it, but I'm honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're on the, when you're on the line like that, like you guys are getting ready and you don't have gate work to do anymore outside of picking the stuff, do you, do you watch the, uh, the 250 guys, like the main events and stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just curious, I was just curious like if it's a good battle, you know, like if it's a good battle, I didn't know if you're like watching it and kind of it distracts you, takes your mind off of stuff so you're not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Completely worried about the race that you have to race in. No, I like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, do you think, like, do you ever sit back, I mean, or are you just completely entrenched in the championship was, which is totally understandable, but you're a two-time Supercross champ at the premier level, and do you ever, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was that like, RV, did you ever have a season like that? Like, I know for sure I didn't. Like, where it was that deep. I mean, Coop, you've watched both of us grow, growing up and all that stuff. I mean, it's no secret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if we could, if something fell, we fell down in the first turn. I mean, we're at least going to be on the podium. You know, it just, and, and it is, dude, it is stacked. All you guys are fast. 100%. That's what myself personally, that's what I feel like is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pretty amazing what you have been able to do, and the other riders have done a great job, but being in those different championship situations and knowing what it takes, it's been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty, been pretty remarkable, but, but like by RV, have you ever been to where you're in that position or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, Coop, I'm so pumped for you. Like, and I know you got a lot of criticism last year and I don't like, I don't want to go into a whole bunch of that crap. Just, it's no one's business but yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to ask you this and I've been curious and I wanted to save this for when you would bless us with your time to come on this podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you're one of the most confident dudes mentally out there and I'll put you up against anyone in the field because of that. Uhm, are you surprised at how well you've done this year or did you expect it to go as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you had so much confident in the, in the program. I know you're confident in yourself, but the program in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel, I think, I think he, you guys have stepped up your game. Like I feel like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and like four other guys and I've said this before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the podcast, and I think I've even said it on the broadcast as well, Koop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like you guys have more to gain and lose or more to gain by following a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like your level, like if Jett was here, you guys have gone here. It's going to be harder for him to get up there. And it was, I was that way with Stu. Like I think definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, you, hey, you know what? You trust the process, bud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no doubt. Hey, before we let you go and we appreciate your time, I want you to walk our listeners and people who listen to this podcast and watch it. I want you to walk us through the last lap and like, and put your helmet on and say like, okay, I need to do this right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta make sure I do this. Can you do that for us? Cause I'm, I'm actually curious. Like when you're in this corner, I'm like, okay, shit, I need to do this right. Or I need to get a good exit here. Aaron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll that last lap for him and Koop, as soon as you go, take it away, go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, how pumped, hey, you said something on the podium, like, were you pissed after you got that, you did really well in the whoops, the last lap? Were you like, why didn't I do this the whole race? Like it would have been like, the result would have been not easier, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad she's on your tail and not mine, dude. Jeez. I'm telling you. Hey, uh, Nashville this weekend. Um, I know you like that place.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it should be really good. I've actually never been to Austin for the MotoGP, only I think Catalunya is the only MotoGP I've been to, so epic, epic weekend, so I'm looking forward to the whole week there in Austin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know. It's, it's, yeaah, it's back to back to back, man. It's, I feel like I'm, it's harder now to, to, than, uh, to be a dad and be in this, this position than it is to race. Racing was, was easy now that I think of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, one hell of a career for, for AC, you know, uhm, had some, had some pretty highs and some pretty lows too, you know, so that's the struggle of the sport, you know, and uhm, like, but like you said, he's always had a good attitude, he's one of the, probably one of the best speakers, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know 100%. You have to, I mean, look, you can always look back. I can look back at moves that I made in my career. I'm sure you can do that. Same thing. Look back at moves you've made and maybe I shouldn't have done that. I should have done it like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the best times of, of my life, uhm, probably AC's too, you know, like yours, uhm, we've been in this industry and we started. What the, what's unique about our sport too in, in, in uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And most sports at a very high level, I should say probably every sport at a very high level, but, but coming out of Loretta Lenz and racing those, those, you know, 50s, 60s, 80s, 125s all the way up, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, your parents and your, the people that help you expect the same thing, just as, as expect what the factory teams expect when you do turn pro. It's just at a lower level. So, you know, when you see, when you look at his professional career, because you can't turn pro to your 16,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and dude, I can remember, I know you can't too, go to Loretta Lynn's if you have an off week. Uhm, you know, it's, uh, you have a lot of pressure on your shoulders. It's a long drive back to Seattle, Washington, uh, 34 hours when you don't have a good showing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, just grew like a weed. And the funny thing was is when we still had him on a supermini, he would stay at my house during the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, um, we'd work out with Eldon and Eldon was like, he'd look at AC's, um, calf, tip, fib area and look at his arms and everything else. And he goes, dude, you're going to be tall. This was like when he was like 14 years old. He goes, I think you're going to be tall, dude. Um, and he had ended up hurting something. So they had some x-rays. They got to see his growth plates and things like that. And he goes, that boy's going to be tall. And, and I'm like, really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Elden called it when he was like 13, 14 years old. Yeah, he's like, this, this guy's gonna be tall. And uhm, dude, he nailed the, nailed the, the nail right on the head. Yeah, he ended up sprouting up like, you know, later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, becoming like, I guess he's probably almost, you know, six foot. So to your point, yeah, to, to ride a certain way for, for so many years and be a smaller human and then all of a sudden grow, you know, grow that quickly, uhm, definitely had to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take, uh, take a toll in, in some new learning and learning how to write a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A dirt bike being that much taller with that much more leverage. Um, I know like we all saw, like I think last year he went to a tall seat foam, which he said I think helped him out quite a bit, you know, so just, uh, even, even that much, that far into his career, still learning, still changing, still, still trying to improve, um, things to make him go faster on the motorcycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, at the end of a writer's career, uhm, I mean, it can be both, but, uh, like for, I can only use myself as an example, because I only lived through what I, what I, uh, felt and, uhm, you know, dealt with, but it became, wasn't, it didn't become the physical side, it became the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the routine side of, of, uh, and the pressure and the mental side of it, you know, staying in the game, um, especially me going with four in a row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, just waiting to get knocked off the top. You know, you try to do everything to avoid that and make sure that you, uh, you know, uh, turn over every rock and every stone to make sure that you don't lose. But ultimately for me, it became, it did become mental. The training part, I would, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were, we're all so fit. I was, I was very, I was very fit. It wasn't, it wasn't the physical side of it. Uhm, it was the mental side of it. Uhm, and kind of, I've said this before, just being,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, pulled in, in 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 different directions also while trying to produce wins and produce championships for, for, for all your, for yourself and your sponsors and your team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, they, they want, they want to do the best, but I would say from what, you know, from what I've saw and seen, um, in the past and, and like I said, I'm not going to use the word wasted, but potentially like use


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, who I think could have done better, uhm, or that showed really good promise at this point. And they're still currently racing, you know, they're not retired yet, but like, I'll use Austin Forkner as an example, like the kid has the speed, he's got the talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he still hasn't figured it out yet. He's not retired, so it's not like, you know, he still has time to figure it out, but uhm,

[Assistant] But I will say that that window's probably, uhm, closing out a little bit, right? Uhm, he's been in the lights class for a very long time. He still hasn't made it to the 450. And as everybody knows, you go from 8 rounds to 17 and then 11 outdoors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, we have, he hasn't seen the toughest part of it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'll use Christian Craig as an example. One hell of a lights rider or 250 rider, uhm, you know, championship for star racing, uhm, hasn't progressed and hasn't, hasn't shown, I don't think his true potential in, in the 450 class. Now, will he? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I feel like he's been in this position, he's had great people, uhm, you know, that he should be able to produce that. So, at the timing of kind of where, how long he's been in it, and a lot of his injuries, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think that, that, uh, that he, I was expecting more, uhm, you know, I was expecting him, especially after that championship at Star Racing, that Supercross championship, like, for him to really make that next stride, especially in Supercross, because we know how talented he is, you know, he's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's kind of like another Kevin Wyndham, you know, him and Levi, Kevin Wyndham, all three of them kind of ride, you know, in my eyes, similar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I guess you could say those, those two are the ones that popped into my head, uhm, very clearly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and uh, with who you surround yourself and just making good decisions. Uhm, but yeaah, he's had a fair amount of injuries too, and some of the stuff is just, uh, you can use the word bad luck, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, I think we're, we're, yeah, it's, it's, it's that time, right? The pendulum has, is, is swinging, meaning, you know, we have Eli getting, is older, uh, Justin's older, um, you know, we, uh, Jason Anderson is getting older. We have a, we have a fair amount of guys that are like 28 to 31 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, retiring. It's just that, uh, it's just that pendulum has swung. Uhm, you know, and then you'll see a bunch and you'll see the 250 class kind of also take a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, a change and once those kind of guys move out, it opens up a bunch more seats in the 450 class, uh, and then you'll, you'll have, you'll have the older, older kids or older riders in, in the 250 class that are the 25s up to 28s will move into the 450 class once there's more seats available.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's lots of speculation around that, you know, obviously, uh, Jason Anderson will still currently be there, but now, uhm, AC, uh, announcing his retirement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there is some speculation that, uh, that they may have already made a run at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Followed MXGP, you know, I think he's already with qualifying races on Saturday and, and, uh, and overall wins in, uh, in MXGP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, points lead already. Again, his outdoor skills are phenomenal. So, um, he needs to improve his, obviously, his supercross skills, uh, to run up with those up, with those guys up front and win races. But, uh, they got plug and play system right there. If they can, if they can lock him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, really smart rider, man. I mean, you take a guy like that and drop him into the 450 class. Zero experience in the 250 class in Supercross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, um, you know, man, the guy ran, ran some, ran up front, um, had some strong finishes, you know, just, you know, eight through 10th, which I thought, you know, I kind of called that's where he would be like eight through 10th spot, you know, so I w I was impressed and the guy is a starter too. And as we know, you need to be, you need to be a starter in Supercross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. Scotty McKinnon. Kitchen looked like a veteran. Will the 450 teams have him on their radar next year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, and that's something that, you know, back to the Prado thing, you know, Kawasaki needed to position themselves correctly to make a move when, uh, when Levi can, can, uh, move up, right, and move into that 450 spot. So they need to position themselves, like, depending on,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what Jason does, right? If they hire Prado, then Prado's gonna be a two or three year probably deal to get him, get his, get his feet wet, get him, get him over here and get him established. And then on the way out as Jason is on his way out, Levi should be in the lights class another, another year minimum. And then, uhm, you know, if they position themselves right, they could have Prado and Levi. So yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will be the determining factor when it comes to the end of the point standings in and him coming out on top with a championship this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he has to, I mean, just because Jet, I think, no matter what, if you go full lap times, right, of the last few, some of these last few races, especially Seattle, I mean, guys, he, he had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had over a second, second half. I think I even saw like a two, two second gap, yeaah, right? Where he's that much faster than the rest of the field. So Koops gotta lean on his, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as we're closing out this, out this series, uhm, you know, the pressure becomes, uh, a lot more with only eight points, you know, with the, with, with the Barsha incident and, and the jet incident. So now he's got a race also for race wins and the best he can, but he's kind of got a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Race behind him too, you know, he doesn't have that big points cushion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Nope. All right. Jason GMX. Tomac looked on fire. Do you think he can keep the momentum going until the end?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, alright, so we got Reckless Racing 71, Ricky's last win, St. Louis, Jeremy's last win, St. Louis, Tomac's last win, St. Louis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, yep, alright. Well, Sean Adams, will Jett be able to handle the pressure now being in a familiar spot on the 450? Can Eli win out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, I agree. I think he's going to get it done too. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, I don't use the word say, but it's definitely nice to have a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have a bad weekend like that and, and obviously getting, getting, uh, essentially T-boned, uhm, not, not on purpose, but, but a full T-bone, uh, it's nice to go back to the drawing board, obviously, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, probably he didn't ride a ton that week, you know, probably pretty sore from, from the altercation there on the track. So, uh, and also late in the season like this, it's nice to just not go to the race on the weekend and kind of decompress on Saturday, Sunday. Uh, so I think that's going to work into his benefit. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that uhm, that AP obviously has been, been riding uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very well this year. Some of his best performances in that 450 class and on that KTM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I've been there for two years now. This is Chase's very first season. Uh, and you, and there's a lot of things you don't get to see at the test track at, uh, during testing, during riding, uhm, on these motorcycles. You can only develop and learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, certain things, uh, on, in race scenarios on race conditions. So, uh, yes, chase has been struggling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, he showed some potential. He showed a few, um, really good races. Seattle was one of them where he was, you know, Coop and him both made a ton of mistakes, but they, but they came, they raced that thing to the wire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he, the potential's there, uh, he's gotta, he's gotta quit making mistakes and ultimately he needs to find just a little bit of speed to, to be there every single weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good question, uh, you know, it's, it, it, outdoors presents a whole separate, um, bunch of issues, potentially, um, what he's feeling in Supercross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, may not translate over to outdoors. Uh, it may be better. He may like the motorcycle better out there. They might find some things outdoors that will help for, for the motorcycle for Supercross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's going to be very interesting to see what his, how he, um, races that machine out, out and outdoors because we haven't seen him, uh, out there. But I will say that being that they have the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uhm, the development from Europe and, and, and, and outdoors, where outdoors and outdoors, they, they, they definitely, you know, the European tracks I know are completely different. I know they have different rules, but there is a lot of things that I think that they can use over here in the US that potentially we might see a little bit, uh, not different motorcycle, but it may work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, better out there that they will, that could translate over to next year's Supergrass. So I'm interested to see where he's, where he's at in Outdoors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, uh, actually I was able to, to, uh, you know, kind of, kind of dive into, um, some of that, uh, with some, with some personnel and, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he, you are correct. The inconsistency from Jason. I think Jason is, is, is, has much more potential and, and can do much better than, than he is doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, and, and I actually had him last year coming into Supercross. I'm like, man, he's, I, I was, when I was working with Ryder, I got to see him ride. And I was like, man, this dude is, this dude is riding really well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but he hasn't been able to put it together on the weekends. Uhm, I'm a fan of, of, of Jason, so I would love to see it, but uhm, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't know exactly, can't answer, can't give you what you want to hear exactly the answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My tire used to be the 62, the original 62 that Dunlop came out with. Same thing, I ran that sucker at Phoenix everywhere. I ran that thing everywhere. I ran it until the knobs fell off of it just because I knew exactly what it was going to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so if you go back to Hunter's, uhm, 250 career, it took him a little time to get established with injuries, uhm, and it's almost, to me it almost looks like a carbon copy of the 250 career that he had had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, it's taken Hunter a little bit longer to in the TPD class and this 450 class than Jett, right? So I, I think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he's kinda where I kinda, I, where I figured he would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, and he's still dealing with some injuries. I know shoulder ribs, I think recently, um, you know, where he couldn't ride during the week and things like that. So I see potential from him for next season. I think he's going to get stronger. I think he's, he's just a late bloomer, um, if you want to call it that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm, I'm hoping that next year we can get Hunter anywhere from that third to fifth every weekend on the podium, fifth place on the podium, you know, somewhere in that juggling in that, uh, in that realm of positions. I think that would be a huge step forward, a huge confidence booster. And then, you know, you're three in that 450 class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, maybe we could see a potential championship contender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Huffins450SX. When was the last time the 450 premier class was this competitive? Changing of the guard?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, perfect. Alright, so Derek982, with the East-West Showdown next week in Nashville, is there any rider that stands out over the others, uh, others to win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree, and that leads us right into the next question. Charlton 74. Does Deegan dominate after having a solid weeks or solid weeks of training?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, yeaah, so we have quad lock question of the week, Linda Orlewowski.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Explain how riders and their families handle transitions from amateur to pro financially. Once the rider goes pro and is making money, how is that usually handled?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're into motocross and you race motocross and now that I'm a dad and uh, of two boys, like my perspective has totally changed from when I was 18 and 19 years old. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, my thoughts have, my thought process is definitely way different than when I was 18, 19, 20. Uhm, but I, I think a lot of, uhm, the disruption that can come from it is also comes from passion alone, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, your, your parents, they obviously got all of us into riding for a reason. They loved it. You know, they, they loved riding. I'm for, what, my third generation. My grandpa raced, my dad raced, my uncle raced, I raced, my brother raced, and now my kids raced. So uhm, we, we love the sport of two wheels. Uhm, and I think that can,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, right off the head, no, it would not be a good, uh, no, it's bad trial and error, bad time to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I believe that we should, uh, we need to start exploring those options, but no, it's the wrong time to do it on a weekend. I think these teams, we need to get a system of what system we're going to use and get that everybody up to date on that, get everybody, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I understand why they do it. Uhm, I like to hear my motorcycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'd like to know when I can hear something going wrong or who's behind me and things like that, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're special, obviously ear pieces, ear devices. I know Cardo has a really nice setup. So my point is, is they need to get that implemented and the rules set, and then they need to get it out to these teams so that they can start practicing with them during the week and figuring out what they like, what they don't like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm all for comms. I think, uhm, it would very, it would elevate our, our sport, uhm, dramatically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, that means that, so, you can't race in the first race of the night, or is, and you can't line back up for race 2 and 3, correct, if you miss race 1?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, Vincent, that's, uh, you put us on the spot here. We're going to probably have to go back and, uh, look at the little rule book there and kind of figure out how it would actually lay out. Um, obviously if you, if you qualify, um, and you can't make the main event and you're going to miss all three main events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but it looks like we have a provisional. Once the first race starts, they don't allow someone to fill in for the second or third race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there, there it is. So if you, uh, if you do miss that first race, uhm, and if you don't let AMA know, for example, like you're just, you're, you know, you're, you're hurt or whatever, uhm, and they don't have time to feel that and you miss the gate and they're loading the gate and they, they, they, they drop the gate and they go and race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means there's no provisional for race two and three. You're not filling that spot, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uhm, we, we, we all got, uh, informed that that was not the intention, uhm, of, of the outcome of what had happened. But, uh, but yeah, that would be overly aggressive. That would be if he was going in to make the pass, uhm, and actually, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, essentially hit jet on purpose, like that would be way over the top. But, uh, for our racing, the tracks be in one line, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those, that's what's so interesting about, um, supercross and motocross. It's not like road racing. It's not like, uh, any form of asphalt racing where you come back to the track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's racing. You gotta have, you gotta have easy tracks, gotta have rutted tracks. You gotta have, you gotta have everything because cream always rises to the top. And when we, when we see the, the end of this series come to, come to an end, whoever's standing on top was the best supercross racer in the world for this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think, uh, I think that would, yeah, good layouts. I thought, uh, St. Louis raced well. We, we, we saw some more speed out of the riders, like just through the triples, through the rhythm sections, even though the track was kind of breaking down. Um, I think you could take that exact layout, that exact track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you said it, you're not gonna, you're gonna go to a new stadium, which will be different dirt. Uhm, and you could have a completely different outcome, meaning the track may not race as well. What if it was Seattle's dirt that would take St. Louis and put it in Seattle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you imagine what the race conditions would be, uhm, like at Seattle? As we know, we saw ruts absolutely everywhere. They were footpeg deep. Uhm, so to that point, yes, you could try to mimic, but you're not going to get, uhm, you're not going to get, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The races are, the racers and races, racing more of, of the track instead of each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he had mentioned he goes, if we would have the ability to use the lime, um, at Seattle, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he goes, uh, the track would be absolutely epic. Uhm, the lime just creates heat, uhm, with the moisture in the soil and firms it up and hardens it up. So you wouldn't see the ruts as deep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it eventually hardens up really nicely. Uhm, obviously they got trigger happy clearly with the, with the lime gate and we had some burns and things like that. I think that, uh, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's a shame that we can't use it because there's certain...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. AJ the old, uh, would getting rid of the start device slow everybody down enough to make the first turn pile up ups less?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason why I say that is just without a starting device and these, these bikes running, you know, 65 to 70 horsepower to the rear wheel, uhm, you're going to have a lot of guys getting off balance mid straightaway trying to lay the power down, trying to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, manipulate the clutch and throttle and lay as much power down as possible. And that's when you kind of get the, the guys that can kind of veer left and right because they're off balance because they don't have the starting device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you might see that mid straightaway-ish or right out of the gate potentially, more, uhm, you know, tangling of the bars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, you know, I, I don't, I, I think it's, it's like drag racing, right? I look at it as like drag racing. Now there's certain cars you can't go up to the, to the, to the, uh, to the box without a wheelie bar. Um, right. There's certain things like that. It's just part of the sport. It's not going anywhere before, you know, it is what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can speak for your triumph. I'll speak for my Yamahas. And when I, when I was current, when I was pro,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I wanted my forks to be pretty stiff too, so I, I kind of have had a weird setup. Jake couldn't ride my setup. Uhm, most, I think Davey tried to ride it, and he's like, dude, I don't know how he rides this thing, once he, once he went over to Cowie. But, I will say that I can take my Yamahas off the showroom floor right now, and I'm sure your triumph's the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you take my 2011 Kawasaki, uhm, off the showroom floor, and we would do it because we had to do photo shoots, I could barely ride it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I could get photos on it, but I couldn't ride it without the subframe cut, the shock shortened to mill. Uhm, there was a lot of things you had to do to make them, uhm, rideable, where now I think they've fixed all of those things per se.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. So we have next one. Jeremy from CA. How will future riders help elevate the sport like jet RC except what's the next level?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, very well, very well, good. I think for the evolution and the next step is, it might not necessarily be from the writers, it's comms, it's the things we've been kinda talking about to elevate sport as a whole, right? Like, I don't know if it's, like, uh, I consider,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By being able to trade or buy out of other contracts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, back to that question, a couple questions of what would elevate the sport? What would change the sport? Like this is another one of those conversations, like, like I just mentioned, comms. This is another thing, another, another, um, you know, interesting thing to think about. What if, you know, how would it, how would it play out? I think it would be very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it could be really cool too. Like you said, I think it would work out better because people aren't, riders aren't going to move if they're, if they're, if they are happy and they will move if they are unhappy or, you know, like vice versa. So you, so you don't know. Uhm, I think it'd be crazy to see. I mean, I think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so too, yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's very hard to compare and it's very hard to, like they've, they've adjusted the tracks based on the, the horsepower and the speeds and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do think that if you were to go back and go, go to YouTube and pull some, uh, the older, early 2000s, um, late 90s, 90s stuff, like there was, there wasn't, obviously they weren't quadding or anything, but they also built some of the jumps, like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there was only like a double or only like this massive tabletop over single. Like there were some interesting builds back then where there was only call it one option, but I think you can't overlay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What uhm, the previous because our bikes are so much different and the talent and the, the, the, the way these riders and what they jump and the corner speed and now they're four strokes instead of two strokes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's, it's, it's not something I, personally, it's not something that I think you can overlay over each other and pull, oh, pull this from back in the day and, and, and, and be like, oh, we would have better racing with this track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, cause I don't think that would be the way, honestly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, that's the point of the lime is to kind of help that and, and, and firm up the dirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yes, if there was an interview with Prater that I, Dave Prater, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the, or over the previous, say, call it 10 years, um, is, was a lot of open stadiums. And that's why you're seeing a lot of open stadiums, um, from what he had said. And it's, and it kind of looks like now the trend is kind of circling back to doing more covered stadiums. And his words were, he goes, I hope there's more covered stadiums in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, just because it takes the weather element out of, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and it gives a better show, but I also think you need to have the open stadiums for those weekends that are, you know, where you take, take the points and you just kind of throw them in the air and, and, and wherever the cards land is where they land. Um, it's, it's a good, uh, the, the, the mud is always an equalizer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take it, take, take, you know, if we don't have those perspective views, those different views, and look, I'm not in love with all, all of the different camera angles, but also too, the drone's something new, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and all I can say is, is we could go back to just having each camera down on kind of on the track or camera angles and only all you get to see is like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna make it better. Um, technology is always changing. It's the most rapid changing thing current to date right now is technology and electronics. So it's gonna get better, but I would rather see, um, what I'm seeing now than just have side angles and straight on angles and, and missing call it some, some areas, depending on how the tracks layout is and track design, you might


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can't put cameras to get everything. So you might miss 15 feet of like say a whole corner. Yeaah. Like this area. So they're trying to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're trying to give, give uhm, the fans and the, and the viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a good question. Uhm, so I think that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, if my kid was racing, uhm, you know, I think it's, it's, it was one amazing experience. Uhm, I should have, if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have that inkling of a thought that you, that you potentially want to do that, uh, I think you need, I needed to do it earlier than, than my last, uh, my last season or my last, you know, bit of racing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, I do think that guys that struggle in Supercross that are good outdoors, let's say, I think it's something to consider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was substantially harder than, than racing here and, and more to the lifestyle of trying to get, you know, amongst living in Europe and the different, the language barrier and, and, and everything like that. But, uh.

[Assistant] I would say, you know, I'd give him the pros and the cons, uhm, but I would also tell him it was one hell of an experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and he's got the points lead. He's won most of the races this year already. Uhm, his skill level, his speed, I think he will totally race with Jet. Now I'm not sitting here saying he's gonna beat Jet, but I think he is going to race Jet. If he comes over in 25, I think he's got a shot at winning a handful of races. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, man, I just, uh, glad to have you on Title 24 for the first time. Uhm, man, I've obviously got to watch, you know, your amateur, uhm, you know, career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming up, getting, you know, getting, securing that deal with Star Racing. Uhm, honestly, like, like RC had said, I was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a bit critical on you at Star Racing because I know the potential that you have, being that I've spent more time with you than anybody else on the gate in this class. So I knew the potential, but it's really cool to be able to see and watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really unfold right now. Things have got to be, you know, I, I, I know the difference, but I know Pro Circuit very, very well. Mitch, uhm, you know, kind of explain the differences between, you know, the star and, and why the success here, uhm, verse, verse over at star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference that I see from, from, you know, years past, and then even from the start of this series,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, to currently right now, like, you've established yourself to be, as being the main guy. And I think you were one of the main guys coming in on paper, but to your point, like, you know, like believing in, in learning how to win and taking those steps, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching you ride, I always say he's like, he's a, he's a, he's a finely tuned Kevin Wyndham. He's like your riding style, a little bit more like Kevin. You know, you got that BMX kind of flow, uhm, like Kevin did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit, and it's, it's, it's, uh, it's really, uhm, I don't know, pretty is the word to watch, but it's, it's fun to watch, you know, your, your riding style on the track, the smooth, you're a little bit taller, a little bit lankier than, than, than probably some of the guys out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and I think that, uh, that riding style, your precision, the way you ride the motorcycle is, is fun to watch. You know, I was more of the hammerhead RC. We know as more of the hammerhead too, for sure. So being able to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and let's knock on wood. Hopefully this, you know, I've, I've text you multiple times. Just keep the pressure on, keep the pressure on. You got these guys on, on, on the ropes here. Uhm, you know, so just keep doing what you're doing during the week and on the weekends. But then to make that transitioned into, into outdoors, you know, because I feel like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In me watching and when what I look at is that's kind of your next goal. I feel like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You haven't stamped it just yet and we won't, we won't count our chickens before they're hatched. So let's get the, you know, let's get this done. But then that next transition is, is establishing yourself as, as a contender and as a race winner and also as a championship guy for, for outdoors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty fast, yeaah, and I felt like watching this track the way that the layout was, uhm, just like we're watching you go over the triple right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The track had a lot more speed everywhere and part of that was because of the traction, how much traction, the lean angles you're able to do, the lines you're able to take because of the traction, but also just the track in general compared to what we've seen the past of this season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this track just was, was more racy. You could, you could push harder. The track didn't break down as much. They weren't, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I think the speed through the rhythm sections and across the start straights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they need it. That's what the yellow flag is for. The yellow flag is for when the tough blocks get pulled out on the track, somebody washes out, turn, you know, like nobody's at any danger where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly they thought Vince or whoever the Moto Concepts guy was on the ground in between the jump that that was a dangerous situation. So make a priority of using


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That red cross flag for that danger situation. Make it a priority. Wave that thing. Don't wave the white flag and that the white flag's a priority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially in that scenario there, because it's all a judgment scenario there. It's a judgment based on AMA and the guys watching. There was no real race. Uhm, Jet had a big lead. It wasn't like it came down wire like it did at Seattle where it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chase and Coop coming down, fighting for the last inch of the track and then all of a sudden check or flag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean he's, and look at his bike, it's actually inside of the tough blocks and the tower. His motorcycle is technically off the track. And I bet you where Vince is standing is up against the tough blocks. So I think it was a bad, it was a bad judgement call on AMA's part to have the flag just stationary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or a perfect scenario we're talking, red cross flag, don't jump the finish line. He comes on, you have a, you know, it's a custom, your pace made, it goes in. I mean NASCAR, every car sport has it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he has brought everything to the table that he, uhm, that he spoke about, right, with the SMX Championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now he's just got his very first win, uhm, second race in. He's, he's, he was sitting 19 down, uhm, now we're, he's sitting, uhm, what's he, seven or eight out, uh, roughly. Aaron, do we have the 250 points?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we have him sitting, uh, seven down, right? So he was 19. Uh, are, are some of those, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what people don't like too is he's very straight forward. He says, he puts it out there. There's no grey area with Hayden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and people need to just kind of get used to that. I don't see anything bad with that. And number one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just, he put himself in that position to win that. He, he, he could have been, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our sport needs the different characters, uhm, and, and, and the different, uh, uh, mentalities, uhm, uh, and the different, the different way of thinking. You know, we all can't just be cookie cutter robots, uhm, you know, and the, and the kid is working his...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many times did you, how many times were you in that position, Ricky, where you were either leading or chasing down the lead and you had a massive cartwheel, let's call it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, and have a massive crash like that, but on the other side of it, Hayden's goal is the championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when he leaves there, he's not thinking about what Austin, what just happened to Austin. And number one, you shouldn't think about what happened to Austin because that could happen to you the next time out. So the last thing you want to do is put that in your head. Oh, I can't do what he did or, you know, have all these, this outside noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I agree, like uhm, I don't think the main event wasn't, uh, super stellar for, let me see, I'm looking for him right now, uhm, wasn't super stellar for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was rewatching, uhm, and for a guy that I know, ACL surgery, uhm, off the bike for, for quite a while. He got 12th in the main event. So no, no, not terrible. Uhm, but his heat race ride was, was really well. He, he, he showed like he had been out there for, for multiple times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was, I was impressed with his heat race. So I think there's some good things to come from, from Nick, Nick, uh, Romano also. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got to see a lot of friends, family, and, uh, man, we, we got, we lucked out huge, uhm, with, uh, we didn't have any rain on Saturday. Obviously the track from everybody, what everybody saw was, was very tough, very technical, but, but a really good racetrack and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, no, I think all the above, I mean, man, we got uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you said, uh, Coop and Jet, now that things are like 16 points separating them, uhm, still in the fight there. It was getting, it was getting long on the tooth there with 21 point lead there and if Jet would have won another event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, Seattle, that would have kind of, I wouldn't say it would have put it into, you know, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, nail in the croft and not really, but, uh, but as you, as, as everybody knows, and as you know, Ricky, that if you start getting up into a whole race lead, that's where you get really comfortable and it's really hard to bring it back. So Koop was able to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To put the nail in the coffin and bring it back. And now with 16 points man, it's, it's getting, it's, uh, it's gonna be some good racing on the way out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I think, dude, the track was going away, uhm, and, uh, and you called it, and I, and also Coop said it on the podium with, uh, you know, with having arm pump and, and, and that's, that, that is a, that's a tough track, tough conditions to be pumped up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, and have, have that your hands, you know, your hands typically go, go to where they just really don't really work. And when the ruts are that grabby, it can be very tough. But on the other side is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I will say the amount of mistakes that Chase made and he was still there, uhm, for fighting for that win at the very end, down to the last corner, I mean, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the, the question is, is what if, what if Coop didn't have arm pump and what if Chase wouldn't have stalled it and wouldn't have made those many mistakes? What kind of race or outcome we would have had?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, was, was very interesting. I think, you know, Chase obviously made some, some improvements to the motorcycle other than obviously, like I said, lots of mistakes, but his speed seemed to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yeah, it was, it was a really, really good race. I was watching up in the press box area and it was, man, it was, it was an action packed main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ran really into the, into Coop's swing arm area. It wasn't even like he was up close to him and then he's like, hey, I have a chance here. I thought it was a total brain fart, uhm, on Jet's part, just kind of running to the side of the swing arm there and then going down, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but yeah, I thought it was, it was an interesting race. Jet was on the gas, obviously, uh, early on in that moto or in that main event was able to come through the pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very quickly, uhm, probably a second, second and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he, he sliced and diced through the field very quickly, but as we saw, like they're awesome and we're watching the replay, he was able to just jump over the sand wall right as before mechanics area and make a ton of passes there and it was substantially faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but that rookie mistake, maybe just, just trying to, trying to make up too much ground too quickly and it, and it bit him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, but I mean, looking back and watching that video, he should have followed suit and went right behind him and then was, and then jumped the wall over the wall like he did previously. I know he, he had enough room to stay behind him and just be a little more patient and then potentially be able to go right around him once he jumped because Koop wasn't jumping the sand wall yet or that wall yet. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, just a total rookie mistake. But to the question, uhm, a win is a win. Doesn't matter how you get it. That's right. That's a big win, man. And those were critical, critical points. It was a really big win for Coop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he's now within 16, uhm, of Jett. Uh, and now we have Chase section with 23 down and Ken Rockson 38. So, uhm, for me...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he's, he's sitting great in 4th place, but yeaah, it, you know, he's kind of out of it at this point, uhm, not mathematically, but from, from a racer standpoint, he is, but, uh, but no, Coop, uhm, he rode before, I mean, like, I have some notes here, Ricky, you told, you gave me some homework, I went off, watched everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, so I have, that's what I said, big, big win for Coop, 16 points down with only six races left and we do have one Triple Crown left. So uhm, what I thought was really interesting was to watch was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As, and you said it multiple times on the broadcast was Coop's inside lines. He's so phenomenal at shortening the track and being very quick. What I thought was interesting and maybe it's just because maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bike doesn't want to go that tight. I was in certain scenarios like that. Kawasaki was always good at riding the outsides. Wasn't very good at going real tight, but I thought there were some areas where Chase should have, um, should have jumped on the bandwagon and started trying to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Want to and need to make that pass, you need to stay close for an entire lap and then figure out where an opening's at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was, I was actually very fortunate not having, uhm, I doubt maybe get arm pump in first practice, uhm, getting the blood flowing and moving like that. But never, I actually never knock on wood, never, never dealt with it in a, in a race scenario like that. But, uh, I deal with it every time I ride now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, it, it, my right hand goes numb and, and, and, and it's, it is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, really hard to ride, especially to your point at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a track that's that technical, that ruddy, and you got long rhythm sections that you have to keep those combinations going. Double, triple, triple, singles into turns, or, or the other one out of the first turn. That was a long rhythm section there with multiple triples and a couple three footers, a five footers that you were jumping. There was multiple combinations. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very tough scenario to, to let alone ride, but also ride and win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think if you're chased, Ricky, you kind of go like, what if, what if I didn't have, you know, landing on one, one tough block in the rhythm section, then the on off, you blow the on off, almost hit the tough blocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, it's good, but no, it's almost like a what if. If I'm, if I'm chase going back to the truck, uhm, and you're like, man, and you look at that main event and you look at how many mistakes were made and you were still there, I think that was a step in the right direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he was going to win that race. Honestly, I think if Jet wouldn't have ran into the back of Coop


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, he would have probably won that race, right? Like, I mean, if you're just going off sheer speed and lap times up until that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we, we can't. It's, it's supercross racing, it's motocross racing, right? All the, all these mistakes come into play. We have to talk about all of them. If you're not, if you don't run a perfect race, uhm, and, and, and you have the mistakes that, that each of these riders had, Jett had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and all of them had issues, right? Jet had his mistakes, uh, Coop had arm pump and Chase had his mistakes. So there was a lot, a lot of stuff going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throughout that same event that everybody had to deal with and everybody, like I said, everybody had to deal with it and we had only one that prevailed and that was Coop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I personally, I think it's a rider error. I mean, we're 11 rounds into this, into this series already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and, uh, we haven't seen, you know, uh, that happen before, um, as, as maybe as many as we saw, um, here at Seattle. So it could have been a little bit of the track conditions. I was down on the floor. It was very, very sticky. It was more clay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was actually all like a clay material. So with the amount of moisture that they had in the dirt and things like that, it can make it tough. I, I call it rider error.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe you can turn the light, I mean, look, there's, there's a couple, there's things they can do with ECUs and turn the idle up and do things like that. But ultimately we've seen 10 rounds prior to this and we haven't, we haven't seen him stall it twice. He stalled it in the qualifier and he stalled it in the main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm. What would the recluse, what would the recluse have done in that situation? I mean, I think you can ride, I've never rode one, but I think you can ride around and you can stop while you're in second gear in the turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then you can shift down to first and things like that. Uh, but yeaah, obviously nobody runs that in Supercross. I wouldn't advise running that, uh, but uh, it would have solved that problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that could have been one thing too, when he did grab that tough block, I know they run, we, we, we do, all these riders run a cable from their frame to their brake pedal. Uhm, maybe it, maybe it did potentially mess something up with the brake pedal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but that's where I say I don't know about that. He did stall the motorcycle in the heat race too. So uhm, but yeaah, but you know, he did hit the duck block. We don't know exactly if it did affect something on the brake pedal, but it happened twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jumped the wall, but then had a perfect race. No mistakes. He's not winning that main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, with the, obviously of the stall of the motorcycle and then the on-off, uh, and into the tough blocks and then once again in the tough blocks again in the rhythm section. Those were, those were huge, huge mistakes. Uhm, so I, I don't know if he wins it, but here's the other thing, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe that, uh, on your hot lap and, and when you're, and when you're watching, that's something that you say, hey, this is more than likely going to be jumped at least sometime in the moto, preferably in the beginning when, when that take off's a little bit bigger. And then once it rotted out and got smaller, it got substantially harder to jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I thought that he needed to be aware of that that was probably going to be jumped on the hot lap, right? Like if, if I'm down on that, I was like, that's probably going to be jumped and you better be ready to jump it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know he stuck to the inside majority of the main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It later, part of the moto, it started to work into his favor because Coop couldn't jump it and he was still going outside and actually Chase made up quite a bit of ground by going inside, shortening the track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once again, long straightaway, you can get your eyes on it, you can check it out. This particular one, if you're in a battle, being that you're also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, uh, it was a long kind of sweeping. It wasn't like a straight, straight away where you can just kind of look over and dry and non-technical, right? They were leaving a gnarly rutted like, you know, wall and then they were down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going down and then you got mechanics here really quick and then you're into an on off with like three or four ruts on a lean angle. So no, I don't think that scenario I would have been able to look at the pit board there, um, in a battle scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as the track really started to deteriorate, those ruts were getting deeper. Uh, so I think up until then, I think, uh, you know, as we saw him come through the pack, he was going to the front. He was gonna be up front. Uh, and then he made that very costly mistake by running to the back of Koop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I think that was that that that is something that he is very smart. Uhm, he's very intelligent when it comes to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's where I think he, that was an intelligent move on his part. Like, hey, there's call, let's call it. There's, there's six and a half, eight, seven minutes left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, and yes, do I have the speed to run these guys down? Yes, I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the track is, it can bite you at any moment. So I think he, he kind of settled in at that point. But up until then, like I said, he, he was almost an entire straightaway down from those guys, uh, when, when the race kind of started and when, when it wants everything kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was, it really was, it was, I mean, once again, so, uh, woulda, shoulda, coulda, what would that main event have looked like without him running in the back of Coop? It would have been a phenomenal ride. I mean, it would have probably been the best ride of the year, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't happen. He did made a, he made a, he made a mistake. Kind of a bonehead move. Uhm, I just pushed the issue too soon. Like I said, I think he should have followed suit, went to the outside while Coop rolled that. He should have opened it up maybe like 10, 12 inches and was able to jump the wall and then passed him maybe going into the next turn. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. You know, it's, it's smart. It's easy being intelligent when you're out there. It's knowing how, how far to push it on a track condition like that. I think that's what we saw. Like I said, towards the end of the main event where he's like, Hey, I'm going to ride this thing out in third. I'm not going to go down. I'm not going to lose any more points. I already made a bonehead move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, early on, uh, so yeaah, everybody's beatable, uhm, if you show up and you're ready. Right now, he's been showing up every weekend and he's shown that he's the guy to be beat, but they haven't done that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have, yes, I have, yeah, I've been in a couple of them. I don't know how many, probably four or five or six. And, uh, I've also never made an event before too. Uh, Jacksonville, I don't remember what year it was, maybe 2011 ish or something, you know, so. Dude, they suck. Don't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do, they do. It's tough because you're out there and all those good dudes are out there trying to make the main event also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And depend on your gate pick and how you leave the line and things like that. The thing is with a last chance is weird things can happen that typically don't happen in the main event or it could be that it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you're just not used to, as a caliber writer like Kenny, you're just not used to the scenario that the LCQ gives you. I mean, that's his first time. Luckily, Ken got the whole shot, rode away with it, uhm, and then pulled an amazing start from the outside for the main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was, that was good. He was able to totally recover from, from his mishap in the heat race when he, when he slid out off of that on off, just missed the rut and slid out and cost him, cost him going to the main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, look, I'm not, I'm not counting Eli out at this point. I think that, uh- Out of what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, out of race wins, you know, I mean, championship, like I said, we kind of, we, we looked at points and it's, it's there, you know, Kenny's 38 back sitting in fourth and, and I consider him kind of being out of it. Whereas Eli 40 down. Um, so yeah, championship wise, out of it, but, but, um, but not for race wins, but I do think that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We haven't seen that so far this year. I mean, other than a couple good rides from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I, look, guys have been hard on him. I've always, I've kind of had his back this year and I still do. Uhm, but it just might kind of be that, that time and the era of that maybe going away, slipping away, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. And I think that's a whole shot and then, uh, you know, uhm, let's go out on a limb here and maybe a track that's just a little more, not easier is not the word, but, uh, not so sketch like it was, was Saturday night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I mean, even our west, typically our west coast rounds are, we all know are kind of hard pack and dry and things like that. Well, it hasn't been like that. Even the Anaheims, obviously we've had two, you know, three, three mud race, San Diego, Anaheim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Phoenix, you know, we've had, er, not Phoenix, but, uhm, San Fran, like we've had some gnarly conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which I also like to see. These are the best riders in the world and, and, uh, I think if I was racing, I'd like to see those conditions because I, I kind of thrived in those, uhm, ever-changing conditions. They, they, they really bring out the best racers in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Levi's starts were really his Achilles heel, uhm, the first two years that he, that he was, uh, you know, here out, out here on the circuit racing, like literally that was his, but we had, he had a whole shot in the heat race. He had a whole shot in the main event in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have that, you know, he, he, he rode away from those guys. He was, he looked comfortable. He's gelling with the motorcycle. Obviously I'm very close with Mitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause it doesn't matter this year, last year, or the struggling years that he's had in the past, uhm, few years or a handful of many years now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as you know, nobody, they don't stop working. They don't work any less hard or any of that. They are in the trenches winning or losing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think Levi from, you know, I got to talk to him on, on Saturday night after the main event. He's just, he's stoked with them. He's super stoked with the motorcycle. He's happy with the team. He gels with the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I think that's what he was missing maybe over at Star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, between 250, 450, Mitch has got, you know, two riders over there on the west coast right now. And, and he's happy and you can see it, but he, he rode a phenomenal race and like I said, rode away from those dudes. He was by far the best, best. And I think that's by far the best I've seen him ride, uhm, this year also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I said that's technically his first main event win, you know, like, uh, not a Triple Crown win, which, you know, no matter how you slice it, coming home with the first place trophy is, is, doesn't matter if it's a Triple Crown or not. It's a, it's a Supercross main event win, but a traditional style that is technically his first win. So that was really cool to see in front of his hometown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think that's where I got my first win too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I 100% do, yes. I think it was a huge win for him. My question is and what I want to see in the next step for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is to, is to finish. I actually shot him a, shot him a text. I said, dude, stoked for you. Really proud of you. Just keep doing what you're doing. Finish off this, this Supercross series. But what I'm looking for is for him to make this transition and keep this momentum going into outdoors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as we know, Mitch is going to want the same performance and expect the same thing, if not more, in outdoors and he's capable of doing it. So that's kind of his next step. I think the short term goal is to stay where he's at, keep doing what he's doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and finish this off and, and win a championship, right? But then move and keep that, that momentum into outdoors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it looked like it got a little cross-rutted and then at the last second on that takeoff kind of got that kick and at the, for a quick second right here, it looks like he doesn't know what to do. He's trying to grab a gear and then he just slaps his head on the bars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, then right here, another mistake off into the tough blocks. Um, and, and then this is where we kind of saw, here's the rear angle of that jumping over to the left, just on a double catches the tough blocks falls over. But this is kind of where I look at it getting a little bit, um, a little bit, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, sketch is when you pull on the track, he gets hit by two, two other riders. Uhm, not paying attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, now this, like you said, Ricky, is a hot topic. We're not, we're not part of the medical crew, neither is AMA. Uhm, it is based on the, the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit and, and their personnel to, to see things like that or to recognize and pull them off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the thing, it's very, very, it's a, it's a, it's a hot topic there because what if he didn't hit his head and it was something else and they blackfrag him, right? So uhm, it is a fine line, I think that's still...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't even know what to do in that scenario. I think he personally hit his head. I think I truly do. That's why he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, made the mistake on mistake on mistake and then pulled onto the track, not knowing, not, not even looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, like I said, I personally think that he, he hit his head and we're watching the replay over and over right now. Just spun off, got a little cross-rided spun, grabs a gear in the air. I don't know what that was going to do, because he was already in the air and the trajectory was what it was. But yeah, it's a touchy subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like nobody kind of wants to really touch it, right? So I, I don't even know what would be the right answer or right call on that other than to kind of leave him out there. I do think he was, you know, that could have been a lot worse pulling onto the track. Luckily he just got the front wheel clipped twice and fell back over. You know, it wasn't anything catastrophic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to retract my statement there, but yes, I thought it looked a bit funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I just thought there was too many mistakes after that, but like you said, the bike was maybe bent up a bit, and then when it is that ruddy, that sticky, that grabby, and the thing, the front end is tweaked that much, uh, it could, that could have been a part of it, but to your point of like, you gotta look when you come onto the track, uhm, you know, uh, that's- Regardless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeaah, I do think it's a make and break. Each one of those riders have been in this, in the 250 class for, for a long, for, call it a long time. Uhm, they're both getting a little bit older.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I do think it's a make or break, uh, season for them, but that doesn't mean that each one of those riders aren't gonna have an opportunity or go up to a 450 in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you're kind of timing out of the 250 class like they are, they're getting older, uhm, you know, your chances of winning are getting narrower and narrower and narrower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, yeaah, I do think it's a very critical year for both of them, but, but look, we have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Triumph has a brand new manufacturer coming in. They'll have a 450 next year. We have Ducati coming in. So we're going to have a lot of seats available for, uhm, for these riders that are kind of get, you know, getting long on the tooth in the 250 class that are going to move to the 450 class maybe next year or the year after that. So I do see them in a 450 position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you want to leave your lights or the 250 class, you want to leave that class, you know, with, with at least a championship, you know, at least at the caliber of those two riders, you know, RJ has been in a position to win championships multiple times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been a very fast rider, just hasn't. And, and I think I heard on the broadcast, he hasn't learned how to win yet in scenarios, uhm, like San Diego. He saw the win. It was, it was kind of right there. Uhm, and he made that bonehead mistake after coming out towards mechanics area where he just landed two feet off of the main line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, he needs to learn how to win because it only gets harder once you go up to the 450 class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I do know that, you know, I think we all kind of know from, from just watching uhm, that Star and, and PC kind of have, they've made those steps up to having, you know, the motor that you need in the, in the 250 class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we've heard in the past and we talked about it last year with Hunter, you know, if it wasn't a perfect gate drop, a perfect clutch release, a perfect weave of the line, uhm, he wasn't in the top three on the start. It's not like, so my point is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I think it is mental at this point, I think he's had a struggle streak of a, of a season uhm, on that, on the Honda, and it has nothing to do with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it has anything to do with anything particular with the motorcycle. I think it has to do with him and, and just the years. Yeah. Between the years and not having.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, the races that he's wanted and it's starting to compound. Uh, I thought he would have been better. Uh, I know that he was and, you know, still is, but we all thought, uhm, coming into, to this season that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he was going to be a major championship contender and he has not been. So, um, bit of a bummer, you know, cause it'd be really cool to have a, have another, another rider up in the mix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and also a, a really good character, good, good human. So, but yeaah, he's, he's got some work to do, put it that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I think dude, it's, it's once again, it comes down to, I think like there's a lot of these, all those dudes are very, very quick. Uhm, but just maybe that the, the, the technique isn't, isn't there on these critical tracks like it was, you know, they tried too hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, they're too worried about lap times or, or, or trying to go fast, you know, during the week, like, you know, there's this, there's something to be said about, you know, learning the technique and being ready to go that fast than just like guys going out and it's like, yeah, I can run that pace and they can during the week, but then you add those conditions, you add race scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think they just need to get, they need to sharpen the pencil a bit more and they need to be, uhm, you know, technically better, especially on, on race courses like, like Seattle was, you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's very, very, very tough to, to run that pace and run the frontrunner's pace, uhm, if you're a little on edge, right? Like, like if you watched Levi,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what I do think is it was a big weekend for Coop to knock down that win and then get it inside of 16 points. We're 16 points down and then going into a triple crown like we've talked, uhm, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number one, I'm looking at three gate, three main event gate drops and any, you know, in the first gate drop and first turn as we know are the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While going into a, while going into a Triple Crown, because as we know, we've seen a lot, a lot of stuff happen at Triple Crowns. Uhm, and what I think Koop's gotta come into, he's gotta come into, to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or swap out some wins with Jett. I think that's gonna, that's gonna be really big for his confidence for, for the championship. And let's say if he can get that win and then get some more points on top of what he just did at Seattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, now we have a real, real race on our hands.
