Southwick MX Review Show on the Kickstart Podcast
4d ago01:14:52Tap to summarizeAs race fans, we got to see something last weekend at The Wick 338 that may never happen again! For the second time this year, the Coenen brothers took advantage of a break in the MXGP schedule to come race in America, and Sacha earned the win in the 250 class in spite of crashing with four laps in the second moto and breaking his collarbone! Lucas didn't fare as well in the 450 class as he crashed on turn one of the first moto, but he charged into fourth with relative ease before crashing towards the end of the moto and retiring for the day, keeping his MXGP championship points lead front of mind. We go over all of that, and more, in this week's Kickstart Podcast by Maxxis.

Transcribe →Red Bud MX Review Show on the Kickstart Podcast
2w ago00:54:04Tap to summarizePresented by Maxxis By all accounts, the Red Bud Pro MX National was amazing, and especially so because of the weather that rolled through Buchanan, Michigan, on Friday and flooded the track. The Red Bud Track n' Trail team did an absolutely amazing job of whipping the quagmire into a highly raceable track that yielded some excellent racing in both classes. What were the big takeaways for you from round five? For us, it was the performance turned in by Hunter Lawrence, the emotional flare-ups from both Lawrences after moto one (we love it!), Jorge Prado letting a potential overall win slip away, Cole Davies establishing himself as a championship contender, and more...

Over the next few days, posts from other heroes of moto began to surface... When Jeremy McGrath showed up tp jump ramps at Twitch's house, we knew something really big was happening! Unless you've been living in a cave, you should already know that Pastrana, McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, Keith Sayers, Brian Deegan, and Jeremy Stenberg all got to jump the White House lawn in the "Freedom Jump" exhibition held as part of the UFC Freedom 250 festivities celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
