Swapmoto Live Podcast

Presented by Pro Taper The off-season is in full swing, and you'd think we had nothing to talk about in this week's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast, but the non-racing shit is arguably even more fun to shoot! Anton was in Kansas last week for the Red Bull Imagination 2.0 event with 12 of the gnarliest free riders in the world on hand and had lots of stories to tell. ARay, meanwhile, spent last week in...

The big news in the hours leading up to last weekend's Fox Raceway Two MX National was that the FXR/Chaparral/Honda team would cease to operate following this weekend's Hangtown series finale, leaving team riders Carson Mumford and Coty Shock without rides. There are multiple sides to every story, of course, but we asked team owner Michael Lindsay to give us his reasons for shutting down the team...

Presented by Pro Taper The Fox Raceway Two National went off this weekend and the whole Kickstart Podcast crew was on hand to see what went down.

Presented by Pro Taper The heat was on at Ironman Raceway in Indiana last weekend!

COVID-19 absences, big crashes, spectacular rides...you name it. Enjoy!

Presented by Pro Taper The staff of SML was all over the map today and we were so conflicted with scheduling that Alex Ray couldn't even come on as he was kidnapped in Las Vegas. swap is on vacation in Whistler, Canada, and called in between downhill runs, joining Michael Antonovich and Chase Curtis for some good ole bench racing about last weekend's race!

Presented by Pro Taper Technica difficulties prevented us from bringing you the Kickstart Podcast on Monday, but we got the crew together today from four different locations to get the deed done today!

The Mini Major East presented by Seven MX is only a few weeks away. The September 10-12 event will be held at Monster Mountain MX in Alabama, and it's one of my favorite events of the year.

Presented by Pro Taper Anton was in Hurrican Mills, Tennessee, all of last week at the annual AMA Amateur National Championships. We shoot to poop about everything that he saw down at the ranch and more, on this week's Kickstart Podcast presented by Pro Taper. Our show is actually early today because swap had to get home to wait for a refrigerator repairman. Lol!

Presented by Pro Taper This week's installment of the Pro taper Kickstart Podcast is a few days late because we were all spread across the United States on Monday for different reasons. Even now, Anton is at Loretta Lynn' with zero cell service, so we invited SML Senior Test Rider Pat Foster to fill in. This week we get the lowdown on all of Alex Rays surgeries and he talks about pooping a lot, an...

Presented by Pro Taper Washougal MX was a barn burner last weekend and we had plenty to shoot the shit about on today's Kickstart Podcast.

Alex Ray scored his first National point of the series, and he joins us in studio to go over everything that happened over the weekend.

It's been a few weeks since we'd seen or heard from our pal Cameron McAdoo of the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team. After an eventful 250 Supercross series, "Madoo" regrouped, took a deep breath, and showed up healed, rested. and ready for this summer's 250 MX Nationals.

Presented by Pro Taper The Lucas Oil MX Nationals headed back East last weekend and visited the famed High Point Raceway in Steel City, PA, and riders were expecting the worst as the forecast predicted a 100% chance of rain with as much as one inch of rainfall. The Moto Gods smiled down upon the racetrack, though, and all that fell was a light misting during one of the 250 motos that made the raci...

Presented by Pro Taper Last weekend's Dirt Bike Kidz Fox Raceway MX National kickoff was one for the ages. With a brutally rough track, great racing, and four different moto winners; what more could a motocross racing fan ask for?
