JD Beach - Racing is Life


Listen Later

Pipe Dreams Podcast is back for Episode 31 with JD Beach taking us through a compelling ride—from being gifted a motorcycle before he was born by his racer father, to battling for championships across road and dirt tracks. Born in Snoqualmie, Washington and now based in Philpot, Kentucky, JD has carved out a rare level of success—winning the 2008 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, claiming the AMA Pro Supersport East title in 2010 with a Moto2 wildcard in 2011 and going on to become a MotoAmerica Supersport Champion in 2015 and 2018.

From skipping traditional school to launching into racing at a young age, JD shares how racing was his only priority as a kid. After his parents divorced, he spent ages 10–13 mostly living on his own, eventually moving in with the Gillim family in Owensboro, Kentucky, which gave him the stability he needed to thrive.

He reflects on his personal life such as his relationship with his mother and memories of playing Xbox with Casey Stoner overseas. We also explore JD’s ongoing journey—his current resurgence aboard the Real Steal Honda CBR1000RR-R in Stock 1000 and his drive to complete the elusive Grand Slam—victories across the full breadth of American motorcycle disciplines, just one dirt-mile race away.
