Mental4Moto Podcast

This is show #14 of the Mental4Moto podcast, and joining me in-studio for this one is another cool industry guest and just plain rad human, Dean Mosig.

Dean has been around the motocross scene for much of his life. His primary role in the industry for the past 6 years has been  as  a Senior Sales Coordinator and Yamaha Brand Ambassador at Peter Stevens Motorcycles.  On top of this, Dean is also a certified riding coach, content creator, and was recently invited to take part in product testing for the new Yamaha E-MTB, as well as the soon-to-be released Stark Varg E-MX bike. 

As a rider, Dean is a long-time MX1 A-Grade motocross racer, former National-level supercross racer, and now at 32 years of age, just raced his first ever ProMX National in the 30+ class at Coolum in QLD.

Over the course of this episode, Dean shares some of his insight into the industry and we also discuss some spicy topics - on occasion even going down the rabbit hole a bit! From the evolution of electric motorcycles, the mental benefits of riding, motorcycle sales during and post-COVID, the monetization of digital content, media coverage of the sport, the local racing scene, ProMX, Supercross and WSX, and much, much more.

Check out this episode of "Inside the Helmet", with MX1 athlete, Liam Jackson. 

At just 18 years of age, Liam is one of the up and comers on the Oates MX program, and he has already shown a few flashes of brilliance in what has been his first full year racing in the MX1 class. Liam has scored points at all but one of the ProMX rounds, and his best results include impressive 8/14 moto finishes for a 10th place overall at Round 3 in the mudfest at Wodonga earlier this year.

During the episode Liam responds to the recent smack talk directed his way and lays down the gauntlet to his Oates MX team mate Braeden Krebs as they prepare to go to battle at QMP and Coolum over the next two weekends. We also  chat about his experiences racing the Hattah Desert Race, in which he finished 38th outright this year, ProMX prize money, and the prospect of racing Supercross later in 2023.

Ahead of the final two rounds of the Penrite ProMX Championship, where the women of the MXW class will again go to battle, we catch up with Shepparton Motorcycles, BCP Honda Australia team rider, Madi Healey, for our latest "Inside the Helmet" feature podcast.  

Half-way through her second-year in the senior ranks, Madi currently sits 4th in the points standings, and, beneath the bright and bubbly personality, Madi's drive and determination to succeed are unquestionable as she seeks to move up and cement her position as a true contender in the ProMX MXW class.

We chat to Madi about how she got into racing motocross, her experiences over the years taking on the Hattah Desert Race,  current and long term goals in the sport, the mental game of racing, and a bunch of other moto-related topics.

In this episode we go Inside the Helmet with privateer WBR Yamaha, Oates MX rider, Braeden Krebs.

At 19 years of age, Braeden is in his second year of racing professionally in the absolutely stacked MX2 class. He's had some decent results so far, and is looking to end the year on an even stronger note as he steps up to the MX1 class for the remaining two rounds of this year's ProMX Championship.

During this episode, we cover a lot of interesting ground, including the challenges that privateer riders face racing on the National circuit, the importance of confidence and  the mental aspects of racing, and what it's like training under Jades Oates as part of the Oates MX program.

This year, the hotly contested Penrite ProMX Championship’s MX3 class has seen the emergence of a new generation of future Aussie motocross superstars.

One of those prospects is T-Dub Husqvarna’s Liam Owens. At just 15 years of age, Liam achieved overall podium finishes at rounds two and three of this year’s Penrite ProMX Championship. This caught the attention of the French-based Bud Racing Kawasaki outfit, who invited Liam to come to Europe to race two rounds of the MXGP’s European Championship in the EMX250 class as part of the team.

We catch up with Liam to talk about his experiences racing overseas, the rising pool of talent in Australian motocross, and Liam’s goals, under the guidance of his mentor, experienced MX1 legend Todd Waters, to one day earn a full-time ride in the MXGP’s premiere class.

I’m genuinely excited to bring you our Industry Guest for this episode, Stephen Tuff, who has joined me here today in the Wolf Den.

"Tuffy" started out his career in the industry working for the biggest dirt-bike print magazine in the country – Australasian Dirt Bike, or ADB as it is more commonly known, way back in 1998. 

Since then, Tuffy’s 20-plus year career in the industry has been diverse. A long-time motocross and off-road motorcycling journalist, his career has also seen him working as a photographer, assistant editor, brand manager, and more recently, a bike tester. He also remains a regular contributor to ADB. 

Tuffy’s role has largely been that of a story-teller, using his talents to bring to life stories about events, bikes and other riders, through his words and photos. 

In career that has been largely focused on shining the spotlight on those around him, though, the adventures that Tuffy has had in the process, the people he’s met and worked with, and the places he’s been, make his own story just as cool and interesting as anyone he’s covered as a journalist throughout his time in the industry.

In this episode of the Mental4Moto podcast, we go "Inside the Helmet" with Maddy Brown. 

A three-time Aussie Women’s MX Champion, we chat about how she got into the sport, what motivates her, and what it was like heading over to Europe to race the FIM World Motocross Championship earlier in her career.

Maddy also gives us her thoughts about the calibre of the current ProMX WMX class, the improving media coverage, and some of the challenges of putting together a program to race the National series.

In this episode of the Mental4Moto ProMX Breakdown Show we cover all the juicy topics arising from the Round 3 mudder that took place at Wodonga on April 16th. 

We get New Zealand motocross legend, Cody Cooper, on the line to give us his thoughts about this year's championship so far, and chat about his amazing career. At 39, Cody's perspective on the sport is refreshing, and certainly a little different to most other younger riders! 

We also speak to the reigning MX1 Champion, Aaron Tanti, about his rollercoaster of a season. Tanti came into Wodonga with the red plate, riding a wave of confidence, but after a bike failure in moto 1, finds himself with a 28 point deficit to make up heading into Round 4. Can Aaron put it on the top step of the box again this weekend at Maitland, like he did last year, and start clawing his way back into title contention?

Once again,  Deathgrip Products' Travis Coward joins me as cohost in the 'Wolf Den" for this episode, which is jam packed with laughs, and plenty of controversy!

With Round 3 of the 2023 ProMX Championship fast approaching, we take a look back at some of the action from the first couple of rounds at Wonthaggi and Appin, and chat about what we might expect to see when the championship riders hit the track at Albury Wodonga this weekend!

We also catch up with a couple of the privateer riders that competed up at Round 2 - Cory Watts (MX1), and Memphis Trevena (MX3), to hear about their experiences and talk about some of the other things that they have planned for later in the year.

A big thanks to my co-host for this episode -  Deathgrip Products' Travis Coward, who came down to the "Wolf Den" to record with me in-studio.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of 20-year-old Brayden Erbacher, who tragically lost his life while racing at round 1 of the ProMX Championship in March of this year. The impact of his loss hit hard throughout the whole moto community.

If any of our listeners find themselves struggling a bit, please reach out to your friends, family or riding buddies, or  give the amazing people at Beyond Blue and Lifeline at call.  It's amazing what a simple conversation can do!
