  • LVK I’m with Lewis.

    Past couple episodes yall have been talking about more in depth bigger picture topics vs race reviews. Couple points I want to make. 1) I’m with Lewis, I want more in depth, bigger picture storylines. If I want a race review I’ll listen to Steve’s race review show or pulp. Regurgitating the same information a different way is just getting old and honestly it’s just background noise. My ears actually perk up when yall are talking about WSX and that whole thing, GPs and the inner workings or bigge... more

  • Fantasy show

    The fall off/down grade of the show is quite remarkable. I get the personnel changes had to be made, but it’s just uninteresting and unlistenable now. RIP 0G fantasy show

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FXR One on One: John Wessling
Q: Can you take an average guy and just from fitness, turn them into like a podium guy?
Wessling says improved fitness can strengthen a rider physically and mentally, but podium results also depend on riding ability, the motorcycle, the team and other factors.
FXR One on One: John Wessling
Q: What did you see working with him behind the scenes on all that stuff?
Wessling says Jason Anderson worked hard and was highly consistent at the track, despite sometimes presenting himself as less serious. His lap volume and work ethic stood out.
TLD/Race Tech The Blair Matthes Project "RJ"
Q: Why did you choose to train at the Lawrence compound, and what are you looking forward to there?
Hampshire wanted to ride near the Lawrence brothers and observe their pace during the week, rather than taking on the work of managing his own track. He also valued the facility, the group of riders and working with Burner full time.
TLD/Race Tech The Blair Matthes Project "RJ"
Q: What was it like approaching teams and deciding to sign with Troy Lee Designs Ducati without an agent?
Hampshire spoke with several teams, considered the timing and his existing sponsor commitments, and chose Troy Lee Designs because of his relationships with people on the team and their quick interest in making a deal. He said his experience and understanding of rider value made him comfortable negotiating for himself.
Guest: Carl Vaillancourt
Q: So, 89, Germany for you, Fast Track, Hard Pack, what do you remember for representing Canada that year?
He remembers the honor of representing Canada, but says the team had little budget, one mechanic for three riders and insufficient time to properly prepare their bikes for the hard track.
