Can you believe that Christmas has already come and gone? It seems like just the other day that we were answering the door for our neighborhood trick or treaters, and here we are already only a few days away from the New Year. Today's Kickstart Podcast covers a variety of subjects, including Alex Ray's recovery from last week's concussion scare. ARay actually called in today from Center Hill, Florida, where he is finalizing some bike settings with the team and shooting poster photos at Tyla Rattray's new compound. Chase got out with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Jo Shimoda to film last week, and he offers some insight about the Japanese rider and his progress on the new green machine. All in all, a great time on today's show! Thanks for listening.
