#84 Tanner Ward from Woodstock, Ontario, crashed at Vision Built Tracks and sustained a few injuries that will take him out of action for a while. He recently signed with Priority MX KTM and these injuries will keep him off the bike forcing him to miss the upcoming 2024 AMO Arenacross Championship in Chilliwack, BC. He spoke to us from the hospital on Thursday, November 7th.

Zach Ufimzeff from Lake Country, BC talks about his recent signing with the growing Guaranteed Comfort Fox Honda team for 2025. He will ride the 250 for the Chris Egan owned team alongside Tyler Shewchyk on a 450.

Zach has also been dealing with an unknown illness that has been completely sapping his energy and hopes to have the answers very soon. He describes to us just how bad it got during the 2023 racing season.

We talk with Canadian Shelby Turner after her impressive 5th place at the 2024 ISDE in Spain. This conversation was also right after she finished 1-1 at the first 2 rounds of AMA Endurocross where Shelby is a 6-time champion. SHe had both her ACL's repaired at the same time and so she missed racing in 2023.

Well, I guess with technology sometimes these things happen. I lost most of the interviews I did with riders on my GoPro Hero 9 after the 70th annual 2024 Corduroy Enduro in Gooderham, Ontario. When I got home I found that the first big file was corrupt and simply wasn't payable. Fortunately, when I paused the recording and went to look for some of the Pro Women riders to chat with, the files were fine and are here to watch.

Honda Canada GDR Fox Racing rider Tyler Medaglia has a busy race schedule this fall. He just raced Round 7 of the 2024 FMSQ Cross-Country series and took the win. He'll defend his title at The Corduroy Enduro this coming weekend before heading over to Spain to represent Canada at the ISDE.

We talked about a lot of different things, including his stepping down from Team Canada MXON to allow Dylan Wright to compete while his son, Talon Medaglia, races the Yamaha bLU cRU event at Matterley Basin.

Back in 2019, Mike Treadwell, Keith Johnson, and John Dowd joined Mathieu Gervais and Bigwave on the Moto Central Live show from MX Deschambault. We had a fun chat about everything and everyone for over half an hour.

This was from a FaceBook live video, but we thought it needed to have the audio stripped from it to live as a podcast.

Back in 2019, Mathieu Gervais sat in with us at MX Deschambault to co-host our weekly Friday night Live Canadian Moto Weekly Show brought to you by Sneaky Weasel beer. He asked Kaven Benoit what his most memorable racing memory was and he told us. Now, in 2024, Kaven has a chance to return to the MXON at Matterley Basin in Great Britain.
