[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, would you have been, would you have been stoked to go to a new event or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt like that first corner, uh, you could sneak on the inside, then you set yourself up nicely to be on the left hand side of that first rhythm lane to possibly make a pass. And I think if Coop was a little bit closer, he probably would try to give, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give, uh, Jet the business, but, uhm, overall, uhm, what, what did you think of Jet in, uhm, in his performance this week? I, like, I thought it was awesome, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, Aaron, throw up the points for the 450, uh, and where we're at. Okay, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody tuning in to Title 24, whether you're watching us on YouTube or Peacock or you're watching us on, uh, or you're listening to us on the audio version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to what RV said about three to four rounds to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, uh, they got their work cut out for them. And what I mean by that, RV, and you know this better than anyone, you and I marched the same beat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those guys, Eli Tomac, Ken Roxton, Anderson, Aaron Plesinger, when I say they, they need luck and they have to win. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and then real quick, roll some sound on tape. We got, we got, we got some sound on tape of Coop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking on the podium of where he thinks that he needs to be better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think he learned about the speed and what do you think he learned about the speed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how does he fix it or get better to challenge Jet these last six rounds?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I think, um, RV, that, that I, I, I believe that Coop needs to, to, to hone in on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gotta be more explosive at the beginning of the race. And that's what I, dude, I struggled with that RV, uh, racing a guy like Bubbs. I don't know how it felt, how it was when you raced him, but when I raced him, if I couldn't hold that gap within that first five to eight laps,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like that's where, if Coop can get that and hone in on that a little bit, I think, I think we got something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moving into, so like I was thinking about like our Boxo breakdown section and uh, check out Boxo USA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you guys for your support. Fabulous, fabulous tool company. For the Boxo breakdown, when I was flying down here for this little spring break vacation, I was thinking about a couple guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, number one, because Eli Tomac, two-time super cross champ and then Ken Roxton, who rode really well. So they were like kind of on the forefront of my, uh, of my mind and Eli, I saw some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw some like how he was on the bike RV and when he was coming out of the corners, especially later in the main, he was laboring. He wasn't in an attack position. He wasn't like over the front of the bars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's more sacked out and towards the back kind of hanging on. And then I went to, and I think that he's trying, I feel like he's tried to up the intensity, those early laps. And the reason that I say that if you watch the heat race,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So I guess, I guess what I'm saying, you're like breaking it down. Do you think that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possibly it might be over the title fight for Eli, and I know it's a tough call dude, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like dude, I'm like, I'm not, I'm not going to do that section because if I don't,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I try it and I clip or I come up or whatever happens, dude, I might not walk away and I'm not willing to do that. So I'm just going to take the gamble that he's going to break himself and I'm just going to ride off into the sunset because you know, on the default.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Uhm, Kenny Roxton, dude, killer ride. I mean, he made quick work of, uh, Sexton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just slipped, slipped up right over there, took advantage of Sexton not being able to get by Justin Cooper, which, uh, Jacob rode really well, did great. Maybe some of that is because, because of the no whoops section. Uh, we'll get into that a little bit later in the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, as far as Kenny goes and the Boxo breakdown, do you feel like, what's your thoughts on him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so uhm, adding, adding on, uhm, after my analysis last night on the, uh, on the broadcast, I got to thinking about Chase Sexton and dude, how he looked really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, I did too and I watched them, but then I started digging a little deeper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I, he looked good. Uhm, I thought that although he looked well, didn't hardly make any mistakes. I felt like the back looked a little bit soft, like low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Visual, when I'm watching him, like, dude, soft, the rear looks low, but he's, he looked great. Phenomenal. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, backed by Justin Cooper, but what I wanted to tell you, RV, is like, you did well, but then when the track was more realistic and it's time to pay points,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly he didn't have the confidence and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like Sexton looked like a different guy in the main event when the track wasn't perfect. We talked about how the track is so good. Take it away. Take it away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a completely different guy, completely different guy. And I was kind of amped after that first heat race, but like we do on Title 24 and wrapping up the Boxo breakdown segment is that, uh, you know, when I really started looking, I'm like, dude, what was the difference? Like, what was the difference? And he was up front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and not the, dude, I'm not throwing shade at Cooper at all. Dude, he rode. Justin Cooper rode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel like you, like Chase wasn't comfortable and I'm like, I'm speculating because I'm thinking of how you or I would have felt like if I can't make money moves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's because I'm not comfortable on the machine. So there you go. That dude, that's enough on the 450.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I, I'm so excited about uh, I'm so excited about the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] United Motorsports moment of the night. I've been waiting so long in it. I was resisting so hard, RV, to not text you and get, get, uh, your thoughts on this. I'm like, nope, I'm going to save it for the pod because I want it to be raw and real. But, uh, the United Motorsports, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moment of the night. I mean, it's gotta be. Gotta be the Hayden Deegan, Seth Hammacher collision in the first corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we go. I think we have multiple angles and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before I let the cat out of the bag and sell everyone, well, I mean, I tried to explain to everyone what I thought from your point of view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, RV, who was in the right? Who was in the wrong? Was it a racing incident or what could these riders do to avoid what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I love it. I love, dude, you see, this is what I love about RV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, what he brings to the table here at title 24 and he don't give a damn. He's going to tell it how he sees it and how he would approach it and that's what we do here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it was, uh, so, and before we land this plane, uh, on our United Motorsports moment of the night, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that Diggs plays the villain role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you feel like, I mean, dude, listen straight up, he's pissed everyone off. Uh, a lot of, not everyone, a lot of his competitors and RV, you know that eventually you need friends. There's going to be times where you're going to be coming through the pack and it, and I do feel like it's okay to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The villain at some point, but do you feel like he's crossed the line uhm, and he needs to pull it back a little bit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, what's up? What's, what's your position on Cody Shock? Okay, hey, it's last corner, it's four points, take it away. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm, I'm pumped for Cody Shock and he's, I feel like he's had a break, I feel like he's had a breakout year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is new to him. This is new territory to him, running up front, running with a guy on the last lap who is a SMX world champion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he is a title contender for all intents and purposes. He's earned that right. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's you and Stu, you and Chad, you and Dunge, are you, even if you mess that corner up, are you leaving that in, you leaving that much room?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I really do this, I straight up do, but I know this much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I was racing you, we never raced together at that level or if I was, if Stu or, or MC was behind me or whatever, whoever was behind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone's going to pass me in the last corner, they're going to have to do it from the outside and I am going to block the inside so hard. There's no shot you're getting on the inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, you, you've watched me out when you were doing, well, I don't know. I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, myself personally, RV, I feel like the next, uhm, check mark for Vial is to win a traditional Supercross inside of a stadium with whoops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he rode great at Daytona. We talked about it last week on Title 24.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with you. I think he's a championship contender as well. I think going to Lucas Oil Stadium, uhm, you know, with AMA implementing the nine whoop rule, I think that's gonna help a guy like Tom Biao.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if he can win with whoops in the track, I think that, uh, he'll be one of the title favorites. Uh, although, uhm, I gotta give...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Myself personally, I gotta give Cameron McAdoo and even Seth Hammacher with the crap that he went through this week and how that can be, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A distraction. He did really well. He did really, really well. Rode well. Pierce Brown too. Pierce Brown sneaky. Doody sneaky. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heartbreak situation for, uh, Anstee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I appreciate that. First of all, I want to give massive props to, uh, Jason Thomas for being able to get Max Anstey to get a word with us in the live broadcast like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that haven't done that or don't do that. Do that is so appreciative. I know it's not a popular opinion, but at the same time, we want to hear your raw emotion. And Max Anstey did a fabulous job. I mean, he didn't say one square word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, you know, and you think the emotions at that stage, I mean, you're thinking about all the preparation you've done throughout the year, all the team preparation that has gone on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like kind of like bittersweet redemption and, uh, you read Konski, uh, he's, he's, he's an Australian. He owns the Firepower Honda team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super passionate, just loves the sport, gives back to the sport, uh, takes a lot of risks to have these, uh, to have these teams in the sport. And, uh, hate to see that for him because Max and that, that whole team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] has done so well, but they'll live to fight another day. And I agree with you RV 100%. Uh, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sweet redemption or bittersweet redemption for the Firepower Honda team and Max would be to go out, win as many races as you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, one, one, one more thing before we get, cause we were talking about this off air, before we get to the quad lock question of the week. Dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jaleek was right there and I'm not being biased cause he was on the triumph, but you can't deny like he's, I mean, clean up a few things and he's, he's fighting for the podium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All in my writing, wait, all, all in all my writing has been progressing and I'm proud of what, uh, I'm proud of doing what I did with what I had to fight through after a couple practice mishaps. Also, I'm done getting pushed around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Touch me and I will touch back. P6, thanks team. Boom!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our, uhm, our favorite, uh, our favorite question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, two, a year and a half now and running. Quadlock question of the reek. The winner is... Cavalier Eric. Uh, let's see here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was the modified track a win or lose for Supercross and would you expect to see more of this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm assuming what, I'm assuming what he's saying is, number one, they had a tremendous amount of rain on Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they rolled a lot of the jumps and a lot of the rhythm lanes. They weren't as peaked as what they normally are. And they got rid of the whoops because the whoops are just as far as a maintenance issue. They are, it's crazy for them. The SMX track crew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, to, uh, to answer, Cavalier, Eric, we appreciate you being a loyal listener. RV, take it away, brother, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, it was. I thought that the SMX track crew did a great job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, you know, especially for how the conditions were. The sun never poked out, uh, as much as it was supposed to on Saturday, therefore the track didn't dry out as much. And what I mean by that, like in between the transitions, between the jumps, we talked about a lot on the broadcast. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we could go on and on, and this kind of leads me down to the, uh, the Dunlop due diligence stage of Title 24. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, so I wrote some notes down, let me read this, and I hate reading my notes, uh, while you're listening and watching, but I'm like, no whoops, uh, was the race, was the racing better or worse, regardless of your opinion of them and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Liking them, RV, you know, I know you love some whips. Was it, was it a good race?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The due diligence part of it. Were there less crashes and injuries without whoops?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the easiest layouts can be challenging because of the dirt conditions. A little one-lined, maybe because of the flat turns. That's kind of my Dunlop due diligence. No whoops, kind of culminated into how the track got one-lined. There wasn't a big 180 corner, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I said it during one stage and it's like during the broadcast, I'm like, listen, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Champions, good riders find a way to adapt to all conditions, whether it's big whoops, little whoops, no whoops, sand, mud, whatever. It is your job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cavalier Eric, we appreciate, uh, appreciate the listen. Uhm, congratulations. You are the winner of the quad lock question of the week. Uh, you know what to do, slide in the title 24 Instagram DM page and, uh, JH will hook you up, get you in contact with quad lock and they'll send you a whole bunch of product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, make sure when you get the product, you post about it. I have no doubt that you will be extremely pleased with it. Uh, quad lock is a great supporter of title 24 and in the sport in general, all of motor sports, which another reason that, uh, caviar or no cavalier Eric caviar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking, cause I'm over here, I'm down like on the beach thinking of caviar and all this stuff, but I'm thinking like the one reason that, uh, you, you win is it was a great question. It was, the track was much different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, it led us into a bigger conversation with the Dunlapa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show us what all of our, uh, our, our, our viewers got to watch. SMX Insider with Jason Wigand and Jason Thomas on YouTube this Thursday at 2 PM, always every Thursday. Then the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship and Sebring Qualifying. That's 12 PM Eastern Time on Peacock. Live on Peacock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so weather tech sports car championship, conclusion of the 12 hours of sea ring that's on USA and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monster Energy Supercross from Lucas Oil Stadium, 7pm Eastern Time at Indy. That'll be live on Peacock. I'm going to tell you right now, you're not going to want to miss that. It's just something about Indy that produces fantastic racing. I mean, you go back last week, or last year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, uh, this has been a hell of an episode of 24. This is one of the funner ones. Fast pace. A lot of, a lot of stuff to talk about. I love it. Uh, you got the Greyhound going. I got the, uh, beach beverage going right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, like I said, working overtime. Rich Lane also says that, uh, our quad lock question of the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Peacock, live, 7pm Eastern Time, live on Peacock and make sure you check out Race Day Live if you're just completely in the weeds and you want to watch practice and think of your picks if you're on some of these fantasies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That right? Tune in to Race Day Live. But that'll do it for this week's episode of Title 24. Again, thank you to all of our loyal listeners at Title 24. If you can't watch us on Motorsports on NBC's YouTube page, make sure you go to any of the podcast applications we are on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, make sure you download that, like it, send us comments, we appreciate you guys, and then of course our great sponsors, uh, United Motorsports, QuadLock Pace, Dunlop Tires, and Boxo USA, we appreciate you guys, and we will see you next week, I'll be back in studio, thank god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, it was, uh, I think actually, so start with the track. I thought the track was probably one of the better, better Washougal tracks to, to race on. Um, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching Hayden, you know, first moto was a great moto. I mean, you can't, you can't ask for really anymore, right? Get the whole shot. Pretty much, I think he let every lap. Uhm, you know, that was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a great ride, but honestly his ride in the second moto, uhm, was pretty unbelievable. I know that there was some two to three laps to go. He pushed it down into the 15s, two 15s where, you know, average for that, for, for second moto was, was 17, 18s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he just started laying it down. You know, love him or hate him. Uhm, you know, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I, I agree with you, Ricky. Uhm, and here's the other thing too, is like, we've been watching Jett and Hunter for, for, for quite a while now and watching


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How precise and, and, and almost perfect those two riders are. Uhm, and now it's, it's a little bit of like, you know, I, I'm sure from the fan's perspective, it's a bit of a, it's, it's some fresh air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He reminds me a lot of watching you race or myself hanging it out. Not the prettiest, but he's the fastest. He gets it done. He finds a way, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, you find a way, uhm, you're able, right now, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now. Washugal, Hayden was able to push the, push and ride on his limit there and be consistent, have consistent laps, be consistently the fastest there. Uhm, dude, guys, Washugal's no joke. Uhm, with the, with the transition between sun,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that is one of the worst tracks for, for Roost. So I think, uhm, just watching the performance, Moto 1, Moto 2, mainly Moto 2 for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, to answer the question or to back you up is yes, I think he's made that next step, that next jump that he needed to do with three rounds to go and the points now very close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I, well, number one, I think, I think, uhm, you know, coming into Washugal, uhm, Hunter had a 10 point lead. Not a lot, but had a nice little cushion. So I believe that now that this, this points gap has shrunk and it's, it's very close, uhm, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pressure's on, man. Like, Hunter cannot afford a mistake. Neither can Hayden. So, it's gonna be very interesting to see, obviously, you have a, you know, a young gun coming in and then you have Hunter a little more, been in the class a while, more of a veteran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's going to be interesting to see how they both take their, their, their racing craft into these last, into the last stretch of the last three races. I mean, I think ultimately, I think the pendulum has swung.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Hayden has the confidence. He has the, he has the, um, the momentum on, in his corner right now and with his starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, being, being on a lot of the times, we know that star racing bike is, is probably the fastest motorcycle on the track, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, that's just another feather in their cap of lining up for these last three rounds, knowing that, that you have a very high probability of being up in the top three. I think that's been a little, you know, if you go back from the start of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Hunter hasn't been in, put, hasn't put himself in terrible spots, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, a lot of his moto wins he's had to come from, um, you know, third, fourth, fifth, uh, and come up. But you give, you give Hayden a whole shot in Hunter's fifth. Now, now we have issues. Now he's got problems. I feel like, you know, he's really going to have to ride or override or push it a little harder than he may want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To bridge that gap up to up to where Hayden, uh, it will be or if he does get the whole shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that their program is very, very solid. Hunter's program is very solid, so I feel that, you know, he's going to approach these, these next three races, uhm, no different than he has, uhm, the previous races. Put himself in a great position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like I said, we can't get away from talking about how close the points are. One slip up like we saw at Washugal, push the front, you know, Hunter falls over, you know, and, and gives Hayden that race, right? So uhm, you know, like I said, we only have about six motos left and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't afford any mistake from, from Hunter, or, or Hayden for that matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really is, I mean, dude, it's, it's so close and, and I think, you know, I mean, take Hunter's Southwick, right, uhm, mishap, uhm, nothing, nothing that, that was his fault, just a bike, you know, it, it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went there, DNF lost uh, 25 points, right? And it put Hayden right back into the mix. And he smelled blood in the water, man. And he was able to make it happen. I think that's the most impressive thing is, is okay, he got given a gift. Yup. But now what do you do with your gift? Can you, can you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get, use that gift to your advantage and, and, you know, a lot of guys cannot, you know, it, it brings a whole, it brings even more pressure. Okay, now I'm only within 11 points or I'm only within 10 points. Now it's close. Now it's on me to make up the difference. Um, and that's exactly what, what Hayden did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and look at his rebounds on some of the ones that, some of the finishes that weren't very, that weren't great. Uhm, with outdoors, go back and, and look at every single moto and, and look where he started, look at his consistency, look at his pitfalls and then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, then you can see that, uh, you know, that it doesn't happen very often. It's probably going to happen again every now and then, you know, like mistakes are going to happen in our sport. That's just what it does, but he's doing a phenomenal job being able to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The race wins from Hunter, uhm, and when he's struggling, like Southwick wasn't a great race for, for Hayden, uhm, either both of those motors, motos, uhm, I thought he was, he was good. He managed his way through, through Southwick, but uhm, with decent points, but it wasn't great and then able to just rebound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, I, I don't think a kid like that giving him too much confidence. Like, we just watched the, the replay up on the podium. Yeah. And he's living on cloud nine, dude. Uhm, and that's hard to, that's hard to, you know, race against a guy like that, that's, that's, uh, that everything is clicking with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think that uhm, I think that this is a, this is something good for our sport. And why I say it's good for our sport is uhm, having different personalities, going back and watching AP's podium speech, right? Like I'll bring him up real quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean to me he just likes, I mean that just looks to me like a Dale Earnhardt, you know, just like a guy that's just totally, it was a great podium speech from him. Having those characters, and I think that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I think watching our racing is, is building these characters and I think Hayden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is doing a very good job like that, like I said, love him or hate him if you think, if you think he's cocky, if you think, uhm, Brian's cocky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop preaching at the camera type thing. But dude, they're putting the work in, they're putting the time in, uhm, and Hayden's showing up every single weekend. So I, I, I do like that, that he's able to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also too, I think it's, it's, it is who they are. It's kind of, he's been raised that way with a camera in his face for a very, very, very long time from a, from a mini kid. And he's, he knows how to deal with that stuff. And you know what? There's a lot of guys that can't deal with hearing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But still just that fly that never would go away that was always bothering you. And he got in Dunge's head, um, for, for, for the lights championship for Supercross. So, um, maybe that's part of his strategy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, honestly, I think it's, it's, it, I do, I do like it. I think it's, it's not too cocky, but it's, it's a, there's a fine line there and he's, and he's running it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ricky, do you think that, that strat, like strategy wise, let's talk about just starting gate position. Do you think that, we are, like I said, we already know that, that Star has one of the, if not the strongest bikes on the, on the track. Uhm, for strategy wise, do you think it would be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you think it's in maybe Hunter's best interest to maybe move over say like 5 gates to the inside or 5 gates to the outside depending on the first turn to maybe get around some guys that aren't as good as starters or maybe not as good as bikes to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Initially get out of the gate and not get closed off and be able to have himself in that top three top four spot in the first turn instead of just going up where every all the top dogs are and expecting to have the best reaction time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at that point, even if you have the best reaction time, do they pull him to the first turn? Because like at Washubo, it's a long start with that little rise in it. You know, horsepower is king in that scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, instead of coming from 7th and then you're maybe 12 or 14 minutes into the moto on a track like Guachuguel to make those passes because we know it's a harder track to pass on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, it just puts him in a better position sooner to where, because I think head to head speed, I think Hunter can go, um, as fast or faster than Hayden. Um, and you know, I think with the way Hunter rides and his technical ability, I think he can, he could close the gap on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But honestly, Sakamoto, I don't know if anybody was closing the gap on that kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think two good tracks for both, both riders. Deegan, Hayden, Lil' Cindy, rides, rides close to the edge. You can get away with more it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, big, wide track, high speed, uhm, and then technical, and then Hunter's technical side, uhm, you know, I think is gonna work, suit him well at Unidilla too. So we should have one hell of a race if those two get off the line together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cooper knew he couldn't run that pace. He looked to be a little bit, uhm, out of gas also. Uhm, and he just kinda, you know, let it go. You know, if that's the easy way to say it, let it go. He didn't have anything for him. He was just on another level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I, I, I do. I, I think, uhm, I think they're both great candidates for, for the Lights class. Uhm, I personally,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I was running Team USA, I'd have to go back and I'd pull all the information out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of each of the moto finishes and I'd have to look and dissect it, uhm, but just off the top of my head if you were to ask me to say pick a guy, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know they're both gamers, but right now with, with Hayden's confidence and where he's at and how he's riding the motorcycle and just what I know that MXON brings and what kind, what you have to bring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Actually, actually I did hear that at Washugal. I believe Cooper is, has already said he's, he's, he's out, he's getting married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's not a bad, and he's not a bad mud rider. You know, we know we're going to Europe in a way later time of the year. It's at Erne. Uhm, you know, it's everybody knows how, if anybody's ever been to MXON or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, and I know a lot of people haven't been in the inner circle, but dude, it's a very high pressure situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he does great in those positions. He's got the speed. He's got the platform. That's one of the best platforms out there. So I think it's a win-win regardless if you send him, um, or if we, if we pick him and send him, I think it'll, it'll pan out. I'm not saying we're going to win, win, um, uh, MXON, but I think he's one of our best guys to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ricky, let's, let's, uhm, I got one something real quick. Since we're on the topic of MXON. Yes. It'll, it'll segue into the 450. I'm looking, okay, we got Deegan for, for 250. Let's say he stamped that he's going for 250. Yeah. 450, we need two riders. Uhm, and I know that, you know, we got AP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know when Barsha's gonna be back, uhm, if he's even on the motorcycle yet. I haven't, I haven't really seen much, much about that. But then yeaah, like I said, uh, Plessinger, uhm, and Chase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, yeaah, no, I think those are good. Chase, obviously, Plessinger, Barsha, Anderson, uhm, if I can, if, if Justin can get back out on the track here fairly soon and at least catch these, I know we have two week, two weekends off here, so uhm, you know, I, I would say, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without knowing anything that it's, I would say it's probably a high probability that we would, we're going to see him at these next three rounds just because of the week that these two weekends off gets him more riding in if he's riding currently and, and, um, Justin's a gamer too. So I think for me, I would pick chase Justin and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, Hayden for, for that, you know, cause like you said, Justin likes, likes Europe, does, seems to do well there. And also he's, he's another gamer. He can, he can, he can go race with the best of them in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, then I don't know. I, I don't, at that point, yeah, it's a new motorcycle. It's not like you're going from, from aluminum to aluminum. You're going from an aluminum to a steel, uhm, October 6th through the 8th. Ooh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guys are riding unbelievably well right now in Europe, so it's going to be a tough one regardless of who we send over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think he's been on it once. I would think he's been on it once. I don't think you do a deal of that size, of that magnitude, of that money, uhm, without swinging a leg over a bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and a career change like that, so uhm, has he been on it more than once? I doubt he's probably been on it more than once, maybe twice at the most, but at that point, at this point he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep doing what he's doing and training on the current motorcycle he's on in his current program because he's, he's in a title fight. So uhm, yeaah, maybe once or twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's going to be a tough one. It's going to be a tough one, I think. I think, um, Unidilla, I think, I mean, they both have, you know, great potential to go out and win, but I just think with,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Jet's ability to see what he sees and, you know, it's almost like the matrix for him in a lot of ways sometimes. Uhm, Washugal not so much with just the track the way it is, uhm, a little one-line-ish, uh, shadows and things like that. No matter who you are, you go to that track and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That track tests your abilities to how close you can push the limits on Washougal no matter who you are. So I think that's one of the reasons why, I don't say reasons, but that's, I think that's why maybe it was a, it looked to be a closer race. I'm hoping that Chase can come out swinging at, at Unidilla. I always loved Unidilla. Um, but with, with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Jet's creativeness, with his creative lines, the way he rides the motorcycle, how wide and big and large Unidilla is, it promotes a very, uhm, you can, as, as with a, a very, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forward thinker, rider, you do end up doing very well there. So I think with, with Jett's mentality and the way he thinks, I think it's going to be very hard to beat him at Unidilla without a mistake from, from Jett's point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the, I think the biggest thing, the hardest thing for Chase is, I see, and I just kind of, it kind of popped into my head just now is, is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he, he has to bridge that next little gap speed wise, right? It's not a lot, it's just a little bit to really get to Jet's rear fender. And at that point, he's on his rear fender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, when he bridges that gap, can he put enough pressure on Jet without passing Jet to make a mistake?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I don't know or don't see happening. Not that it won't happen every now and then, but I feel like even if Chase bridges the gap to be on his rear fender,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Jett holds it together. I think Chase has to really put the pressure on and get, get past him, be able to pass him and put him in a position, uhm, of, of feeling vulnerable to where he's going to have to push it. But then again, does Jett do that with his points lead that he has for, for the bragging rights of 22-0?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, and little tip overs and things like this, like when you fell at high point, push the front


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, uhm, those are, those, those are little mistakes that are gonna happen. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, it's, it's, it's motocross racing. Like I said, it's, it's those to me, that's, that was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was uhm, a little mistake, something that he was able to pick the bike back up, catch back up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I got a question. So what was your previous program leading up previously to that? Would you go out and give yourself a 15 minute warm up? No, so what I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, it's interesting. Yeah. Like for me, unless the track was very, very slippery, overwatered a little bit, we'd kind of just break it in very slowly. But honestly, I'd show up on a Tuesday, get out on the super cross track, do one slow lap for me, like really kind of just like I'm talking rolling every jump. And then I'd go like two or three laps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of hard just to feel out the, what the traction level was in the main line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then essentially I looked at it like, I know I'm going to be, Eldon's going to have me out here all day. We're going to be putting in these motos. The least, the least that I put myself out there before I start, like it, you know, I feel like I'll be fresher. So I'd give myself like three warmup laps and that was it straight into a 20 or 25. Um, so I think that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that I trained myself that way, I just looked at it as, you know, I guess it was less time on the motorcycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was in, when I was in it, I never even thought about it. And only honestly, I think recently of the last probably two years of really kind of coming back in and really following every single weekend and going to more races and seeing what the guys go through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a, uhm, as a spectator, as a fan, uhm, you know, like I said, I'm welcome at pretty much any truck. I can kind of go anywhere so I can really immerse myself in that and kind of see what the guys are struggling with or, or the highs or the lows or whatever that is to really look back and, and, and realize


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That like, I think one of the seasons I think I went, I won 11 races straight uhm, towards the end of Supercross. And to do that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like is pretty bizarre, uhm, you know, and I mean, we're watching Jet do the same thing. It's pretty bizarre. We don't have a lot to talk about from Jet. We're, like you said, we're trying to almost make up stories, uhm, to see how can he get beat, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it, it, it, these guys, these guys put themselves mentally and physically, and I think more mentally, I think the body forgets pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like knee surgeries or when I blew my ankle up and had five or, you know, five plates and 20 screws put in it and over a course of two surgeries that were eight and nine hours a piece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally, four months later, when you're like, okay, well, I'm walking, I'm normal, like, your body forgets the pain, right? It's the mental side that these guys have to deal with. I think that is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is, that is one of the most critical parts that we don't really talk about that much. And I think the reason why we don't talk about it is because it's such a complex conversation of how to read into your head or get into my head or how to make a guy better. How not, you know, what, what, how, what makes this guy tick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's exactly, I mean, I think that the guys, that's how I think guys get in trouble and I can use a scenario for me and I can use, and I'll speak for them. And me, speak for me. And you, yep, yep, and, but I can use a scenario


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if, if I'm gonna put words in Dunge's mouth and maybe I'm completely wrong and maybe I am, but I would say that I think Dunge was more worried about what I was doing and for me, I didn't, during the week,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never one time did I think, well, what's Dunge doing? How much is he riding? What's he eating? How is he on a cycle? Is he on this? Is he on that? Is he, what's he doing? What, how is, what is he doing to be better than I am? I just looked at, I put my faith in my, in my, in my workload.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my program into Elden. That's what I did. I paid him to get me into the best position I need to be in and I trusted the process. Uhm, I think if you're trying to figure out how to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's he doing? How can I be better than him? I think you only need to figure out what you need to do and what's going to be better for you and what's going to elevate your program. Not be like, oh, I know Dundas eating this. I know he's drinking that, right? I think he's doing this. I think that's when you start to tailspin because you're worried about them and you're not worried about your own program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I watch myself and I put the pressure on James, more than likely he's going to push the front. I mean, that's, you know, if you can get him under enough pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's a little bit like Hayden right now, he has nothing to lose, you know, really, like I obviously, I know he's got a championship to lose, but he's a rookie, I don't think anybody really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We knew he was going to be up front, but we didn't think he, you know, I think most people probably didn't think he'd be in this position right now. Uhm, and I think he, he doesn't think a lot. I think he goes to the line knowing that he's got some of the best equipment, knowing that he's a top three guy no matter what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whatever, however the cards fall when the gate drops, he leaves it all out on the track. I think he has nothing, nothing else to think about at this point, right? He's just going forward. He's not trying to manage anything. He hasn't been in a managing situation. He's only, he's only been in a push situation, like go forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have to bet, if I'm Lars, that being in a situation without trying to cause too many waves, you know that if we know that there's a part coming and we're only sending one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this scenario, because you have two top guys, you don't have a, a top guy and then you have like a, a, a third or fourth place guy. Like I always looked at like, it was me and Jake or it was James and Burner or you know. Me and Ivan. You and Ivan, you always had a gap, right? Now we have this too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I, I find it very hard to believe that, uhm, Japan's not sending two of those parts compared to, you know, a lot of times they'll spend, they'll send one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think that would just create massive turmoil in hot water, so I doubt that is to happen, were to happen, but maybe, maybe it could, but like to your point, Jet has, Jet has earned the right to, if that were the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the setup part, I think that, uhm, where I think this is what I would do, and I can only speak for myself, I would try to set my bike up to be pretty good everywhere. All tracks. All tracks, all conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think I could, and I think if I had to, if I had to guess that's, that's a little bit of what, um, Jet is doing and maybe if there is a discrepancy in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In bike setups and, and, and the way those motorcycles ride, like we don't have the results like results yet, but is chase trying to chase after or fix a problem that is now


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where Jet is looking at, okay, I know the bike doesn't go insides very well. And why I use that is the Kawasaki never went insides very well for me. That's why you saw me on the outside a lot, carrying speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew the strong point of the motorcycle. I knew I couldn't fix it. I knew I couldn't get that cowy to do, to ride, to take the lion's dunge road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And vice versa. So I think is, is maybe it's something like that. I'm chasing after something that, hey, uhm, you're trying to make this section better, but it's actually making this worse over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and you keep doing, okay, well now I have this problem over here now, and let's chase that. And oh, can we fix that? Now another problem arised over here. Instead of just having an 80% motorcycle or 90% that's good everywhere, and you know that, and you ride it enough to know, okay,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Washugal, I gotta take the outsides, or Unidil, I gotta do this, or, or vice versa. You know, you learn your, you get so in tune with your motorcycle, you know where it's good and where it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt bad. He did. He did. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I'm watching, we're watching the aerial footage right now. You can see him. This is, is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly where I was going is, you're watching the, we're watching the replay right now for folks that aren't, that are listeners instead of watching it. You can see this big old tire mark down the side of him, man. Uhm, getting him cleaned up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew as soon as that gate dropped, he knew. He was, it was over. So at that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where I, this, and this happened, this, this, guys, this isn't the first time it's happened. It happens. The reason why he, the reason why he missed all of Supercross and, and all of Outdoors, most of Outdoors, is from this same exact thing at Anaheim 1, and tore his ACL and blew his knee, you know, blew his knee all up and had to get it fixed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think at this caliber, at this caliber, where he's at, as many gate drops as he's seen, I know he's probably in a desperation mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and that's maybe why some of these bad decisions are happening. But as soon as that gate dropped, he should have known that he was out of it. And at that point, it's managing to get through the first turn. Uhm, you can see here, he just got totally pinched off and stayed in it. Like I feel like, I don't know what he was looking at. I think for me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all I'm looking at is if I'm not in the leader's position and I'm back where he's at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I'm looking at is, is where can the carnage come from? Who's it coming from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's all I'm doing is looking for what bike's gonna come across and chop me off. Who's moving over? Because at that point he was, even the guys that he got chopped off with, he was behind their bars. And if you're one grip length behind their bars, it's over. You have to give them the right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think the biggest difference is on both of these starts compared to if this would have been a first turn incident, right? That's a little bit different. If you're sitting fifth in the first turn and guys on the inside of you lock bars and completely come across and take you out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was good. I mean, man, we, we have so much, you know, so much to talk about. And I think, um, you know, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean the lights class, it's gonna, it's, it's really gonna come down to these last three rounds who can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who can stay on it? You know, we got two weekends off. I think a lot of these guys are gonna...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get a break here, you know, I think, I think, you know, I think back to when I was racing or you were racing, we're probably back out at the test track on, on Tuesday, we'll get Monday off or back out on Tuesday. I think the, the trend has changed a little bit this, um, with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a lot of these guys are going to get a breather, get, um, get recharged, and then they'll probably hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The end of this week or start next week and start getting back on it, you know, recharge the batteries a little bit this week and, uh, start hitting it hard on Monday. But man, it's, it's coming down to, to be a great finale for, for this outdoor championship in the lights class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going, doing the maths and making sure I was right, and thankfully I, uh, thankfully I was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once like the first few rounds, like the first four rounds went past and I was still undefeated. I think that's when it clicked in and each round I was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think after that first, first four weeks of racing, it was kind of like, all right, let's, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Help me just kind of make sure I stay focused, not just kind of let loose and just kind of go, go with the flow and just ride with talent or just kind of cruise where like a high point I end up going down because I just kind of just switched off, just went to riding and not biting me but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it was, after the first four rounds, it was in my mind, and after each race weekend, it was like, okay, it's another, another race weekend off, and then kind of trying to keep my mind on to that was a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the big thing in trying to stay focused and not try and get too ahead of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely one thing that I was focusing on was making sure I execute my starts each race weekend of having.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two really, really good starts and trying to manage very well. I think one of my most difficult races, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the first one I was okay because I didn't feel-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he's gonna have to go beyond the track limits and kind of push that where it's questionable if I can keep doing these laps. And even I tried that with three laps to go at, at Parla. In that second, I tried putting like pushing a bit and I even made a mistake just because the track wasn't allowing me to, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest question for me was, uh, Hangtown, because it wasn't, Hangtown was never really my track. I never really felt like I could go way fast and everyone else, like I, on other tracks, I feel like I could just kind of pick the pace up whenever I wanted to. Where here is kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That for me, and obviously that second moto, I didn't, I didn't eat, uh, enough in between, so I was pretty, had no energy in the second moto, so I'd probably say that, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's been how many races where Chase has been on me for how many laps for the whole 30 minute moto and stuff like that. So, I mean, uhm, it's, it's hard to pick one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think people like Chase and Tomac, I think because they are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to spring a pass on him pretty quickly, I can't have a half...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Attempt, because then if you make that half attempt and show your cards, they're smart enough to change their line to go to that line. And even with you being behind them, some of them can just feel you in that different line that's faster and take it. That's why I feel like I'm pretty decent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here chase and here are the guys where they're different lines and I can switch to that line and kind of defend before they even try and attempt making a pass through that line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Into making a mistake or trying to get them right back, which I feel like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try and almost pull a Kenny move, you could say. Kenny is really good at, uh, kind of retaliating after someone made a pass on him. He's really, really good at passing straight back. I mean, I got it at high point. I got him and then he got me at like two turns later. So I think, um, and I've been out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One obviously helps is being so in touch with my bike is I'm very confident just twitching lines and kind of hitting that line fast. I think that would have helped. But like I said before, I think it would have had to be instantly after he got me just to really like break him to be like, Oh, I just got him and he already got me back to kind of get that mental kind of game going of disbelief almost.

[Assistant] As a good brother I am, I obviously didn't show my full potential, so I'm just like, come on, like, when you get that confidence up after going five, and then, I think, I don't even know how far back we were on the second one, it was like a minute or something, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used all my luck through the undefeated season, so I had to get unlucky at some situation and I ended up just being go-karting. That was where I was as unlucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, cause I mean in Outdoors at least you're still like, oh yeaah, I at least won this many motors. Yeaah, so I said I didn't go undefeated, but go karts, it just, it's wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They always, they always look against younger guys. They look at younger kids, they think they're gonna run amuck, so they just give us the worst cast so we can do the least amount of damage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just kind of like the game plan really is just kind of coming in with an open mind, like kind of say we don't really know exactly what it's going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be live, we've heard it could be like this, like this, like this, so it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of just coming in and just being open to your bike coming in, not being perfect straight away because like a lot of supercross, you kind of know how to see your bike up, up first round, even though you feel good on practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Practice track, still gotta make some small adjustments, but you pretty much know the bass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where with this, it's such and everything. We don't know if it's going to be a lot more G-outs, like kind of where we need the stiffer suspension or need stiff suspension, but then it has to be still soft enough for the fast turn. So it's, uhm, gonna be exciting because we go in, we're gonna race the first round and it's going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did beat us. It is a long day. I was leading, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they say in golf history, a two stroke lead is the worst lead in golf history. And yeaah, I just, I fell apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause Lucas knows he likes to do it after a race where we're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen Ricky's like multiple, it was easy to find here because there was a few of them in a row. I was trying to find Osho's, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so I was like, thank gosh, I thought I was stuck, I was stuck with the, just the Stockholm one, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, there's just so many things going through my, going through my head that I, I, it's hard to go off of everything, but it's just kind of just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the, you just get flashbacks of stuff going through, just kind of looking back and trying to see yourself even thinking if that was possible, or just, just anything, any thought of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of this writing or leading into this was going kind of through my head and seeing all the names is just a wild obviously Eli Tomek's name on there and how many championships he's won on there Kenny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Danji, I mean, all the names on there. It was just crazy to see, uh, yeaah, my first year of 450 and I already had my name on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, just looking at the names on there and just seeing like, all the legends on there, and for example, like I have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could, I talked to, I seen RC, RC's name on there. It's like, oh, I, I talked to him. Like he's, I would classify him as a friend, an RV, like a, seeing all those names is just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geez, I never would have thought my name could be, like, even talk to those guys or see them in person where now my name's on there with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Dungey, I know, like, it's kind of, it's just a wild perspective of looking at that and going, wow, I've actually talked to these guys, not just as a, as a fan, but they've spoke to me as a, as a friend and felt the same, like the respect of kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of, it was more than just a fan type of thing. No, I actually talked to me as a friend kind of thing of just a normal conversation which...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, at the hotel, right, like, it was as fancy as, like, I'm like, dude, this place is awesome. They had a playground near the pool. Like, I didn't even know this was possible, but they had the hotel logo on the bottom of the pool. I thought that was wild. And the gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I ran back, the gym obviously glass window was there, and I look over and I could see Ricky and his, uh, so, like running in there, I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I ran inside, I ran to Daz, I'm like, I think I just saw RV in the gym. He's like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Acted like I did some playing again, then ran past looking at him directly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was funny, we're getting ready to go for our dinner or like some, uh, like we're in all our suits and that stuff and we're in the lobby waiting for our cars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I can, I can ask my mum also, she'll have a photo. She, she's got a Facebook, so she's got all the photos from when, like back in the years ago, when we were little, so we'll find it somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's a, that's a driver, uh, V, we're on the putting green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me a good date, let me, let me, let me, give me a date so that I can know when I can start life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi folks, Lee Diffie from NBC Sports here. If you truly enjoyed what you just watched, you can get more news, interviews, and highlights by subscribing to the Motor Sports on NBC YouTube page. You can get it all, so go for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the incident with Chase is kinda funny, we both came back and I'm like, uh, I originally thought I was gonna go on that second run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I seen out of the corner of my other, other rut and, and, uh, Chase obviously was coming in, uh, hot and that was his main line, I'm pretty sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I decided to switch it up. I'm like, oh mate, that line looks better. So I just tried to switch it up and I didn't know it was there. Those bikes are always so hard to hear. So it wasn't really anyone's fault. I feel like it was just a bit of a sticky, a bit of a bummer situation, but, um, thankfully we both stayed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think the guys, we found something probably about Southwick that is quite a bit better. So they've all got to ride it, they like it, and that's how we're running seems to help. So it's definitely better on starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's something, it's just something we can use for everything. So it's, it's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just kinda learning this, uh, obviously how he kinda flows and kinda learning where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of the kink in the armor could be almost, and uhm, it was cool, like, it kind of like, it was cool to kind of follow him, cause like, uh, obviously nowadays it's not like the exact same as the beast as it used to be, uhm, but it's still, it's still Eli Tomax, so it's kind of cool to follow him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just learn off him and this kind of, uh, I just got close enough where we can kind of maybe make a, a pass and uh, I was looking forward to a battle but I was able to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like four lappers in front of me past, you know, a few on the downhill and around that corner. And just, uh, you know, they're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, they got their own stuff going on, and uh, as I do, and just last minute split decision to, to miss them, and I just pushed the front, pushed the front into the face of the wall jump, so, uh, wasn't ideal, and then kind of took me a bit to get up, I like almost winded myself a bit, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I was like, trying to see where third place was, and I didn't know Joe was there, and then I kinda heard him on the last section. I'm like, alright, crap, I gotta dig again. So it was, it was, uh, it was close, but uhm, nah, all in all, pretty good day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, quad lock. We appreciate you guys. I've got a great show, man, some great racing, some drama as always from Redbud. I wasn't there looking forward. I will be at Southwick RV. You'll be there too as well. But, um, you, you didn't go to, uh, you didn't go to Redbud, did you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Motocross track would have, it had it. And that's what was always fun. And of course, you said the vibe of that place is just unreal. The fans are absolutely epic there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the 250, I mean, you, you, I thought that Hayden was capable of winning, uh, a national.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously he got some help, um, uncharacteristic mistake and just first turn pile up with Hunter and Hunter going out was the second moto. Always hate to see that. Hopefully he'll be okay, but definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it definitely tightens the screws up on the championship from your perspective. How do you think that the dynamic changes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Hunter going out, Hayden getting his first win, career win, uh, at the, you know, in the class. Like how do you think the championship battle changes from here on out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, I feel like there's going to be a conversation RV of like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is this, you know, is, is this going to be the opportunity that, that Hayden was looking forward as he go to the next level? And I think for sure this is going to help him. I truly believe that now, like, you know, he's like your, what you said, we saw the point series only 11 points back halfway through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just don't feel like he has the raw speed just yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe this is that breaking point. I feel like we all have been, uh, we've been in situations in our career RV where it's like, okay,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, for sure. I, I, that, that is great point, uh, great point. And all of our viewers and, and, and listeners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over time, you get better, better than those, those podiums become seconds and those seconds becomes first. And I feel like, and that's what I'm looking, looking forward to see and interested to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's at that stage now, especially given this, this little gift, uh, from, from Hunter's mishap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think, and I think he's going to continue to get better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming on this playoff rounds for sure. Uhm, you know, I just think if, to your point, Hunter's got the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, the advantage just because of his knowledge. You can see right here. We're watching some footage. He's talking with his mechanic of looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going to be interesting to see. Outside of this, there was some other drama. We had a red cross flag here with Justin Cooper. We had a Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he goes by. Cooper lost five points. Shimoda was docked one position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He went from 7 to 8. Uhm, moving on to the 450 class RV, and I know it's great to see Anderson back, and of course Chase Sexton back, hated to see Coop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going out and not being, not being able to race, but, uh, nevertheless jet, uh, continues to go undefeated. He's on track to go 22 and 0.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, dude, I've, I've said it a couple times. You said it a couple times. I feel like there's sometimes we're trying to make something of like, oh my gosh, look at this scenario this weekend. He's gonna get beat. And I almost feel like it's fake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you agree? This guy, he's gonna ride to the speed he needs to ride to win the race. And if he needs to step it up, he's gonna step it up. And I, I don't see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going to be hard for anyone to beat this guy outside of a mud race, in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't, I don't think that he cares that much. He wants that title. That's where the big money's at, right? So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what the hell do you do to like close the gap and try to beat this guy? Like what's your, what's your approach if you're racing him? How are you going to try to beat him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he's proven it time and time again. I think with the other guys getting better, I think almost makes things a little bit better for Jett because I think it keeps him focused mentally, right? Like he has to pay attention to what he's doing rather than not having to go out there and really fret on anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't want these guys to beat him and they're good enough to where it keeps him on his toes, which makes him in tune in the moment all the time. So uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I could, I, I agree with you 120%. 120%. It's gonna be, it's gonna be exciting. It's gonna be exciting, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but man, we got some great fan questions, but before we get going with that, uh, let's knock out our, uh, quad lock question of the week. And this one's kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has nothing to do with, uh, Redbud for that matter. More of, it's more about a person. And I liked this because I think it's something that we can kind of elaborate on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so, uh, this comes from Instagram and it's, uh, JSmithers505. JSmithers, uh, Jay, thanks for being a loyal listener and viewer. We appreciate you very much. Uh, he asks, he says, do you think Ken Roxton will regret not racing all of motocross rounds this year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like I said, it's not, it's not a long question, but I think it allows RV and I to kind of share what our thoughts are of why maybe he will or won't. But I'm going to give you the first crack at it. Do you think he's going to regret?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna say it anyways, I don't think he's gonna win a supercross championship again, or he's never won one. I don't think he's gonna win a supercross championship. He wasn't probably gonna win the motocross championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so the approach is different when you're not racing for championships. The approach is completely different. You're basically doing it to your point to have fun and make a lot of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason that I picked, we picked it for the, uh, the question of the week is just because it just gives us, gives everyone and our listeners a different side and what we believe Kenny's approach is. So when you got the, when you're going out there and you want to win championships, the mindset is different. And you know what? He's 29, like you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's just gonna ride this thing out, probably stash away as much cheddar as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, no doubt, no doubt. Well, thank you, uh, Jay Smithers. We appreciate you, uh, uh, get into the direct message and we'll line you up at Quadlock, get you dialed in, uh, Quadlock to send you some cool stuff. So, uh, Quadlock, great company and, uh, they were just on the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, with Trackhouse Racing, that was cool with that guy coming over and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just absolutely putting on a clinic for the guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, every day, every weekend racers in NASCAR. So that was a lot of fun to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That inaugural event. A couple more questions. Let's see here. What do you think about this one, Arby? This comes from Jamie underscore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] T187 says, should the tradition of 24 modos have been kept for this year? Will it return in the future?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good. Uhm, I like this one and I want to hear your reaction for this because I kind of think it's, it's crap too and why riders don't do this, but this is a good one. This is from, uh, J Pro Baja 11. He says, uh, why can't the riders tell the public?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do too. I do too. I think it's incredibly frustrating for, for me too. I was like, dude, just tell us what you're doing. Like it's no big deal and it's fun and you're going to educate the learners. It's not like you're going to change something for the moto, right? And then the other dude's going to go change something. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, 100%. Um, one question, I can't remember who it was from. I'm going through my questions right here. Uh, it was something about a scoop tire. And do you think like, do you think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, I, I've never ridden with the, uh, with the scoop tire. I think you have ridden with a version of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. Here's a great example. So when I was at Factory Honda,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was predictable. I knew exactly how much it was going to spin in the hard slippery areas and I knew how much traction it wasn't going to get at all times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is awesome. That is such a, that's a hell of a story that you guys are getting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, great questions. Appreciate it. You guys keep, uh, piling them on. Uh, we love answering them. We'll try to get through them, uh, through the week. And if you have any questions, just, you can hit RV's Instagram, my Instagram, whatever you need to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we say goodbye and just give some thoughts at the Southwik, we gotta thank our sponsors again. Uh, quad lock case. We appreciate you guys. Boxo USA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, great company. They make great stuff. Toolboxes, tools, you name it. Um, lifetime guarantee, super easy to get that processed as well. Check them out online. And of course, uh, United Motorsports, they got six locations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Across Ohio and, uh, in Kentucky, just a great company, really involved the grassroots of things and, uh, they got, uh, they got Boxo in there as well. Uh, if you want a 10% discount.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they're gonna, they're gonna do a little bit better for sure. The rookies are gonna have their hands full most likely. There's a lot of unknowns there. Uhm, dude, but I just, that 250 class, it's, it's like musical chairs outside the top three. It really is. So uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's right. Well, it's going to be a good one. Big, big week on NBC as far as motorsports go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember you got to check out SMX Insider with Wheeze and JT comes out Thursday at 2 PM on YouTube, Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, should be a lot of fun. Look forward to seeing you there as well. We'll have to get out for some food and a beverage. Maybe our boss here from, uh, title 24, we can, uh, lean on his credit card and he can, uh, we'll put, we'll put his credit card to good use and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll do it, but, uh, thank you everyone so much to all of our great sponsors. Uh, remember you can check us out. It's on Peacock On Demand, uh, NBC's YouTube page, uh, on Motorsports YouTube page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] podcast, wherever you guys listen to, make sure you subscribe and like and send those question ends and, uh, we'll do it again next week. So RV, look forward to seeing you in Southwick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely something that uhm, didn't see coming, you know, like, uh, not a crash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, nothing really, really happened here. Just Eli going over the tabletop and right there you can see a big, just like a big, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I've heard it's a, it's a pretty, pretty, uh, substantial injury. Uhm, just a bummer to see. You can't even, we're, you know, we're seeing the replay right here. You can't put pressure on it as he's walking into the Alpha Star's mobile medical unit. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something just crazy and catastrophic like this happens to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like you said, uhm, I have never seen anything happen like this in the years of watching and racing myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, and I don't, I don't know if it's, uh, what question is this? Was it a mistake or was it just, was it just something, you know, there's parts of the body like that, that, you know, that just can just give out, you know, or certain little things, you know, lots of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But honestly, like, to talk about it like a mistake, I don't see a mistake. Honestly, I don't. Uhm, I just see a, uhm, uh, a moment that something catastrophic happens and it-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He rolled and then doubled again and he looked down at his boot like, what just happened? I'm sure he was in pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, go to the best doctors for, for something like this. Uhm, I know football players and, you know, though it's probably a common injury in that sport and football, I would only think soccer probably too. And, uh, and find the right doctor to see what is the timeline? What, what, what do we have here? You know, we,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I'm saying he's coming back, but I think from our mentality, the way we're all, we all grew up, the way where our dads and moms are put pressure on us in a good way to always get back. Or maybe, you know what? He's got kids now and he just says, look, I've had a great career. Peace. I'm out. I don't know. We'll have to see to be continued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said this before in press conferences in the past, I just need to stick with it. You know, I need to stick with this and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ultimately, you know, figured it out and has kept himself in this position where, you know, uhm, 16, 16 down and then we have a catastrophic injury like this from Eli and now he's sitting there with the points lead, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think he's done a phenomenal job with just, with sticking in it. That's as a racer, that's the only thing you really can do, right? Is just keep pushing forward, working on the motorcycle, working on yourself, figuring out, trying to figure out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the problem is, but not over analyzing it either. I think a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he didn't deviate too far from where he had the speed and he was comfortable on the motorcycle and things like that. He just had to work maybe a little bit on the motorcycle and maybe a bit more up on his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I think it's, ehm, he's sitting in a great position, you know, on the verge of winning his very first, you know, 450 championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, I think it's, it's probably a little overwhelming, uhm, right? Coming off the track and, and then, you know, uh, first of all, it's, it's, it's awesome. He just, you know, he's got it good up on the podium, just took the win. Didn't really know what happened to Eli, right? Cause that was all behind him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not wanting to win a championship this way either, you know, so uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the emotion side of it, like you can see, he's a little bit like almost unsure. Like, you know, but you know, trying to figure out like, holy cow, this really just happened, you know, and, and then that start would probably set in on him like 40, you know, now it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've, I've spent, I, you know, I, I think I've spent a lot of time with AC from amateur as he was still on a supermini and then when he first started riding supercross. So I, I am, uh, you know, quite fond of, of AC and, and, um, you know, dealing with a lot of, you know, he's really had his career as a whole has had a lot of injuries, you know, and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This particular weekend, because maybe a little bit in the track layout, I was at altitude. So a lot of, you know, anybody outside the top 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably bikes aren't as good as obviously the factory bikes. So there's a bigger disadvantage there. Obviously fitness is going to be a bigger disadvantage there. So he probably was able to make up some, some pretty good moves a bit quicker than he would, you know, uh, at another specific, another race. Um, but as for coming from last up to third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we've talked about it before on the show, these guys basically put a program together with a snap of a finger after the Honda thing had went south.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, you know, I think if we, if AC is what say 100% uhm, you know, uh, healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, like you said, the kid knows how to win. The kid knows how to race. He's got pretty good race craft. I do think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and just, he can ride to, like, he just rode out there at, uh, you know, Colorado. Uhm, I definitely see, we, we see him up on the podium. I don't know if we see AC, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Championship for in the 450 class, but I, I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing from him because he's been, he's been in this rut for so long. So here's the, I think the kicker for me is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Honda and Kenny thing had ran its course. I think that the Kenny was, was looking for something different. Maybe he didn't know it at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it was a, it was, uhm, a good change. I didn't, it was a good change. Uh, I, he was looking for something different. I don't know if they had an idea of what that was going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I do think that the change has, now that it's panned out, we've seen the success that the team has and what they've had with Kenny. I do think that he's probably happier where he's at right now. I think that at Honda,

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I think, uh, I think there could be a little buyer's remorse there, you know, on that, but I also think that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you didn't have anybody that you were competing against directly head to head as your teammate, right? So in Chase's position, we know we have Jett moving up and we know we have Hunter moving up too. We don't know exactly when, but he is going to be moving to that 450 spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, honestly, I think if you're, if you're chase...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's probably like, hey man, I wish I would have liked to stay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, with, like I said, with Hunter and Jack coming up, you know, I think that we all know that that's, they're kind of the golden goose, right? Both of them. They are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And take nothing away from Chase. It is what it is. Those boys right now are on another level for marketing purposes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They earned it. They earned it every step of the way, right? So you can't look at them and be like, okay, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think that, uh, you know, let's hope that the KTM suits him as good or better, um, cause I'd love to see him come out and be able to fire on all cylinders right away with, on that motorcycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, you go and, and I can relate to straight rhythm because you come right out of, you know, your current day 450s and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you pop once, hey, let's go race straight rhythm. And then you go and ride those things in supercrossing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not the tracks, it's not the schedule, like I have to, I'm gonna agree with you, it's the speed, and I think that you gotta...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no way a 252 strokes going to triple that up to the next one. So he would have been on off and then went, uh, finished out the combination that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's just a whole different way of riding a motorcycle and then also how much faster those 450s are. So honestly, it just comes down to power. What do they do about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really, it does, it sucks to have guys get hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're in this, you know, call it dangerous sport, but it's also a sport everybody loves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I do not think it's the tracks necessarily that way. I do think that we can slow the tracks down. But as for Supercross though, we use the entire floor anyways. And then if you make the Supercrosses any much, any much more tighter,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that's, that's good to see, man. Congratulations. Hey, I got a question to jump right into it. Like, I know, what was the hardest championship? I think I heard you say something about maybe this one being


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that definitely makes sense. You definitely have to stay on your game when the track breaks down. I'm sure you've seen some plywood that comes through and really makes the track technical. And as ruts go away, which ones are going to catch your foot pegs and things like that. So it can get pretty sketchy. Like you said, Indy was insane this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, for sure. I think you, you know, being in your position, you have a target on your back and it's really, really big, you know, after knocking down this many wins and going into your fourth championship and clinching that like you're the target on your back is big and it's sometimes it's, you know, it's, it's a good and a bad thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I mean, watching from old footage like that, you, you know, making a mistake in the whoops. I can remember, I think we were at Milestone. I don't remember if you were there, but I think Hunter was getting ready for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For his supercross season, the very first one, and, and we were out there, there was a pretty big set of whoops, and I was like, number one thing dude, keep your finger, one finger on the clutch and the whoops, because that is your, your only option in the whoops after if you make a mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, if you don't have your finger on the clutch, is to give her more gas. You can't let off in that situation, right? So, I think that's a, I think I see you do that a lot keeping your, your index finger on the clutch because that is your, your call it safety net.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, safety net, if track wheel spin or you know, you miss one, you can recover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it makes total sense, right? That was one thing. I think Dazzy was there and he's like, well, you know, give us one, just one tip. And I'm like, well, here's the thing. If you watch James.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he's obviously one of the fastest guys in the whoops a lot of times, but he has also had some major crashes and in my, in my opinion, my theory is the only option he had to do was give her more gas because there was no safety net because he rode without his finger on the clutch in the whoops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, watching him, like it's definitely say I'm jealous of him, you know, like I should have been more like him. It's like be more like Jett, you know, or is it, was it, what was the quote with Michael Jordan? Be like Mike, let's be like Jett. That's, that's the jam. I think that's what everybody should, uh, you know, try to replicate. You know, it seems like they're doing a phenomenal job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I, I, I, I do think, I mean obviously as we know it comes down to a start and I think if they're both up front, I would love to see them both duel it out, right? Uhm, they're both going to play it smart because they're both getting moved, you know, he's going to move up to 450.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it doesn't want to jeopardize anything there, but I think they'll race each other really hard. You know, they're training partners during the week, so uhm, they know each other like the back of their hand, I bet. So they can race very close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do too. I think that those guys are probably going to be, uhm, I don't know if in trouble is the wrong word, but I think they're going to have to deal with them, you know, uh, uh, most of these races. And, and I think, you know, it's a bummer to see Eli, like he was bummed that Eli's hurt. And I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, what I look at is it's, it's Jett moving in if the era is changing and Eli's on his way out. I think that's probably the one thing from me looking at hunt or Jett and Eli, like him not being able to race Eli. Yes, learn a lot from Eli because he's a veteran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they will be able to race, but that would be a cool thing for Jett at, you know, his age coming in with his stats and then Eli with his age and his stats on the way out, you know, to duel it out. That would be cool to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think, I think as an amateur, yes, that's what we all used to do, right? You'd, you'd swap bikes, but we never, I never swapped motorcycles at, at this level. So I think yes, at the, at this level, swapping motorcycles and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And having four, all week on a 450 and then, and then the weekend on a 250, let alone supercross. It's one thing to swap a motor, you know, for motocross for different bikes because it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fast, it's wide open, but you're going from one motorcycle with one discipline to another motorcycle with a whole different discipline which I think is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think that would be a tough transition for, on weekends. I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think that's where once again they're changing the game, uh, from marketing standpoint to the forward thinking of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to get ready, you know, like you'd never see at this point, even today, like you'd never see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a team pulled their rider off of, off of the championship essentially, right, pull it off and move him to another motorcycle, have him get ready for the championship in the future, which is outdoors for him, but they're still obviously expecting him to win and he's expecting himself to win Supercross too, but that just shows you the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, you know, the, the, the belief that everybody has behind this program and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, it was a good, good time. Uhm, I always liked watching your bars, man. Your bars were like so far rolled back on that Honda. It was pretty crazy to see your bike set up compared to today. In verse back then, you know, things have come just so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, man, this was, uh, me and Davey, this, I think Davey, one of Davey's best years, was able to get a quick move on Dunge there, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just lap by lap, but I was able to hold it together. I will have to say though, one of the shortest starts I think I've ever raced this weekend here, I think it was like we stayed in second or first gear, whatever we started in. Then we got Bones coming up, there's Mikey, my mechanic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Rick Ash right there, he was our engine builder, you know, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah man, super short start, super nerve wracking coming in because literally we were, we never got out of second gear and it was a hard left hander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanted, I mean, Davey that year was unbelievable, right? So kept me on my toes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so for super cross, you know, it makes a bigger difference with carburetor, right? So when we, everybody moved up to fuel injection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, so that was big, big leap for, for motorcycle or for supercross racing, um, especially at altitude for, for, for our sport, which made it a lot better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When chase wraps it up, the emotion side of it, because it's such a huge, huge thing and I love to see it because I never did it.
