Brady Sheren is a former professional motocross racer who wanted to give back to the sport that he loves most. In addition to helping launch Matrix, the popular motorcycle stand, and accessory brand, Sheren was the leader in the development and production of the Atlas Air Brace, which was largely regarded as the easiest neck brace to grow accustomed to. Sheren and Atlas Brace dropped a big one on the motocross industry a few weeks ago when they introduced the Vision Anti-Compression Collar, which is by far, the most comfortable and least restrictive protective device for the neck that we've ever ridden in.

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. Sadly, it was the last race of the year for our co-host Alex Ray as he is currently in Colorado preparing to have both of his wrists worked on. From Jeremy Martin's amazing second win in a row to Chase Sexton's breakthrough victory to Jalek Swoll's scary concussion-inducing crash, we flapped our lips about it all. Enjoy!

Presented by Pro Taper The Millville MX National was amazing! Justin Barcia earned the first National victory for Gas Gas, Jeremy Martin raced through the pain of two broken fingers, a broken navicular bone in his wrist, and a banged-up shoulder, and a ton of other exciting thing went down. Our man on the scene Michael Antonovich was there to see it all unfold, and Alex Ray earned three more National MX points, and we talk about it all in this week's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast. Enjoy!

Presented by Pro Taper The Southwick MX National was a gnarly one! Rain preceding the event made the sandy course even tougher than normal, and the action that unfolded on the MX 338 track was nothing short of extraordinary! 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. Sadly Cameron's summer came to an end in the second moto when a came into contact with another racer and injured his knee severely enough to need surgery and a lengthy recovery process. We caught up to see how Cameron has been doing, get an update on his recovery, and much more. Enjoy!

Presented by Pro Taper The Fourth of July weekend Red Bud National never disappoints, and this year's race in Buchanan Michigan, was jam-packed full of events to bench race about. From our very own Alex Ray casing the crap out of LaRocco's Leap to Dylan Ferrandis earning his third win of the season to Aaron Plessinger driving the crowd nuts with his stars and striped shirt on the podium, we discuss plenty! Enjoy.

For the second time this summer, we had an off-weekend break in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Nationals, and the SML Crew was spread across the country living our lives on two wheels. With the Red Bud National this weekend, there was plenty for us to chat about. Who do you have winning the 250 and 450 classes this weekend?

Even More Off-Weekend Hijinks on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast

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 racing surface ideal. We were all treated to some spectacular racing action, and we go through it all in this week's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast. Still waiting for ARay to score a point, though...

Presented by Pro Taper There was no AMA Pro MX this weekend, but that doesn't mean that the world stopped turning!

Off-Weekend Hijinks on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast

Presented by Pro Taper Round two of the Lucas Oil MX Nationals went off last weekend at Thunder Valley MX in Colorado, and the racing action was even more intense and exciting than at the opening round! As usual, we gathered to shoot the poop about what we saw and heard, though this week's Kickstart Podcast is a day late thanks to a mini vacation I took in the Pacific Northwest to do some mountain biking with some friends. Enjoy! 

Thunder Valley MX National Recap on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast

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? Our co-host Alex Ray survived without any big crashes and with his muffler intact, so he was anxious to tell us just how scary and challenging the track was today in this week's Kickstart Podcast covering the Fox Raceway MX.

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 California locals; Donn, Chase and ARay.

National MX Preview on the Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast

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 at State Fair MX this morning, and we talk about that and a lot more nonsense in this in-between series version of the Kickstart Podcast. Enjoy!
