4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.7k ratings
  • 2026 fantasy

    The 2026 fantasy pod has been fine, but the audio has been bad every show. Hopefully it’s fixed by now because I love the show and it’s even better without Steve. Pulpmx fantasy is so much fun, and keep up the hard work.

  • Lvk is the reason this podcast survives. Lol.

    Luis is the only person besides Daniel Blair that ever responds to any messages. But you can’t send too many just here and there. Steve Keller everybody else doesn’t even respond for website questions. I’m just messing around great show guys you guys need to do a pit bike race with the media members.

  • 4 because Motox pod is a 5

    You dont respond to any messages . DB and dark and keefer respond. Im not talking stupid comments messages. Just straight up real questions. Besides that. Ive noticed you have been more on the team side vs rider side. But you do alot for the privateers and the sport. Next privateer race. The mechanics should have to do a lap on the ktm jr bikes. Or the mechanics do a lap on the bike but no jumping. Instead of joker lane.
