Swapmoto Live Podcast

Presented by Pro Taper This week's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast comes to you on a Wednesday as we wanted to check out the action at yesterday's Fox Raceway National Media Day first. The track was brutal yesterday and the four riding sessions were very telling about who's ready and who's not. Our very own Michael Antonovich joined us in-office this week, making it a great panel with the three Califo...

Presented by Pro Taper There are two weeks left until the gate drops on the 2021 Lucas Oil MX Nationals, and we are starting to get pumped! Tracks all over SoCal are abuzz with activity, and it is definitely a tough time to be an amateur motocross rider because the Nation's fastest pros are out here getting their laps in. Alex Ray spent the morning riding with 10 of the top 20 racers in the world...

Presented by Pro Taper The 2021 Monster Energy Supercross Series just wrapped up a few days ago, and we're already wide open into the silly season rider/team changes. We go through all of the news we've heard, plus a few more new rumors that we heard just this morning, as well as give Alex Ray our normal Monday barrel full of crap. Enjoy!

Presented by Pro Taper Whew! The SML team is back home after an extended stay in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the final two rounds of the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross Championship Series, and we had a lot to talk about in today's Kickstart recap.

Our buddy Brian Lopes in a legend in mountain biking and BMX with 18 championship titles to his credit, and he's giving back to the sport of cycling by being involved with All Kids Bike, a national movement led by the Strider Education Foundation to place Kindergarten PE Learn-To-Ride Programs into public schools for free, using donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations. We checked...

Presented by Pro Taper The next-to-last Supercross of the year went off inside Rice-Eccles Stadium last Saturday night and man, was the action insane! From Jo Shimoda's first=ever win to Marvin Musquin's surprise win in the 450 class over championship leader Cooper Webb, we couldn't have asked for more out of an entertaining race. We;ll, it would have been better if our guy Alex Ray had been in th...

Presented by Pro Taper A lot went down at Atlanta Motor Speedway last week, and there's nothing better than getting together on Monday mornings to BS about the whos, whats, and whys, of the weekend's racing. Of course, our guy Alex Ray was at the center of some of the attention-grabbing action, and getting his take on things is always entertaining. We cover the Jason Anderson incident, the social...

Today, April 17, Bell Helmets releases its newest off-road motorcycle helmet, the Moto 10 Spherical MIPS. Unless you're blind or do not pay close attention to the sport, you should have taken notice of the new Bell Helmet that has been worn by Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, and the Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha, and Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki teams since last year's Salt Lake Supercross mara...

Presented by Pro Taper The first of three races at Atlanta Motor Speedway is in the books and though it started off muddy, it was hardly the quagmire that the forecast predicted it'd be. Our guy Alex Ray made it to the 450 main straight out of the heat race on the extra-long race track and Michael Antonovich was there to see it, and a whole lot more. We go over the who, what, why and what of Atlan...

Presented by Pro Taper We're in the final stretch of the three-week spring break in the Monster Energy Supercross Series, and man we are ready to get back to racing! What we learned today, though, is that we don't need a race to bench race about to have a good time on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast! Our co-host Alex Ray shed a lot of light on training drills and such that can help with riding tec...

They say that time flies when you're having fun and that is most certainly the case when it comes to working at SML. We launched on April Fool's Day in 2019 and since then it has been a wide-open party, covering races, testing bikes, and creating content. We sat down for a quick trip down memory lane. Thank you to everyone who supports us, from our advertisers to our test riders, to you: the liste...

Presented by Pro Taper The best thing to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic? Without a doubt, it's the modified Monster Energy Supercross Championship schedule that has racing on Saturdays and Tuesdays! We've certainly become spoiled with the non-stop racing action as fans and now that we're one-third of the way through the mid-series gap, we really understand just how great it's been to have so mu...

Presented by Leatt This is originally a video interview for the Leatt Science of Thrill Thursday feature but our conversation with SmarTop/Bullfrog Spas/Honda rider Shane McElrath was so telling that we decided to make it available as a podcast as well.

Presented by Pro Taper Man, today's show was a fun one! Fresh off his Arlington 3 main event, our co-host Alex Ray was fired up and ready to talk about his exciting last-lap pass on Cade Clason for the final transfer spot of the night. Of course, we talked about a lot, lot, more, but that's what we were chomping at the bit to discuss. Supercross seemed extra exciting last weekend in Texas, as the...

Presented by Pro Taper The first of three Supercrosses inside Arlington, Texas' AT&T Stadium went off last weekend and provided more than its fair share of surprises and excitement. Our co-host Alex Ray made the main event! We got together today to go over all the bumps, bruises, thrills, and chills that made up round 10 of the Monster Energy Supercross Series. Enjoy!

Presented by PRO TAPER The Monster Energy Supercross Series passed the halfway point this weekend in Daytona, Florida, and the 450 Championship appears to be a two, possibly three-man battle, while the 250 West Coast Championship got a lot more interesting with Cameron McAdoo scoring his first career win and taking over the red plate from Justin Cooper. We cover these developments, and a whole lot...

Audio version of the SML Show with Renen USA's Pete Fox.

Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha's Justin Cooper suffered a setback only a few weeks before the start of the Western Regional 250 Supercross Series when he crashed in a corner and suffered a broken right foot from the bike landing on it. Cooper waited a few weeks before having a special brace made for the inside of his Alpinestar Tech 10 boots and returning to the track. All told, he had four day...

Presented by Pro Taper With Alex Ray in NorCal training with his old HEP teammates, we recruited Jeremy McGrath to help us with today's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast. The King filled us in on his MotoCar Fite Klub win last week, and we also picked his brain and shot the shit about this year's Supercross Championship. As always, conversing with McGrath is an absolute joy.

This is the audio track of the recent SML Show presented by OGIO Powersports and FMF Racing, starring FXR/Chaparral/Honda's Carson Mumford.

Presented by Pro Taper Man what a night we had inside Camping World Stadium for the Orlando Two Supercross!

Today's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast covers the crashes, injuries, mechanicals, and victories in detail with swap, Anton, Chase and ARay. Enjoy.

Did you hear the news? Ryan Dungey is racing next week! Hold your horses...it's inside a dirt track car not the Daytona Supercross. Still, it was fantastic to catch up with the legend this morning. We chatted about the brief GEICO Honda ownership, his possible return to Supercross only, the upcoming Fite Klub car race with guys like Carmichael, McGrath, Reed, and more, as well as what led him to l...

Presented by Pro Taper Round seven of the Monster Energy Supercross Series visited Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, last weekend, and we saw two second-time winners this season in Cooper Webb and Jett Lawrence. Rain hammered the area in the hours prior to the race, but the Dirt Wurx crew did a phenomenal job of keeping the track dry and although the racing surface was slippery, it was fa...
