Calling in all the way from South Oz for our first episode of 2024 is Elijah Wiese, one of the most popular and respected privateers in Australia. 

As a bit of a podcasting veteran himself, there's no "dead air" in this episode, as we delve into a range of big topics, including the challenges of "making it" on the Australian MX scene, what it was like for Elijah to be a part of the official 2023 AUSX media program, coaching for the renowned Oates MX Rider Development Program,  the competitive world of moto-media, and some of the amazing filming projects he has recently had the opportunity to take part in. 

We also discuss Elijah's career to date, including his (somewhat rough) 2023 season, and his plans moving forward, both on and off the track.

From here on in, we'll be releasing episodes weekly for the rest of the year, so have a listen, and let us know what you think of the episode!

Chandler Burns – another amazing privateer, who is also on the Mental4Moto Rider Support program for 2024, joins me in studio for this episode of "Inside the Helmet".

Chandler, at just 23 years of age, is almost a bit of a veteran of the MX2 and SX2 class, and you only need to watch this guy on a dirt bike for a couple of minutes to realise that he is amazingly talented. If he is able to stay healthy and gain some momentum, I honestly think he has the potential to be right up there banging bars with the very best riders in the MX2 and SX2 class. 

This episode closes out our first year of doing podcasts, so thank you to everybody that has supported us so far. We look forward to continuing the Mental4Moto journey and going even bigger and better in 2024!

Our guest for this episode – Jeremy Waters – is one of the newly announced Riders on the Mental4Moto Rider Support Program for 2024.

This year, Jeremy had his first taste of racing at a professional level, entering one round of the ProMX Championship in Maitland in the MX2 class, and racing two rounds of the Australian Supercross Championship in Adelaide and Newcastle in the SX1 class, which is where I first met him in person.

Speaking to Jeremy in the pits, I couldn’t help but like the dude – he is the true definition of a privateer, and you only need to chat to him for about 2 minutes to realise that more than anything else, he just loves to race his dirtbike.

Well, that's the 2023 Aussie Supercross Championship in the bag, and what a season it has been! In this episode, we catch up with Mick Sinclair to talk about how it went from the promoter's perspective,  and find out what AME might have in store for us for 2024.

We also get Dylan Wills on the line to chat about THAT PASS on Vince Friese and the response he's had since! On top of that, we break down each round of the Aussie Supercross Championship and what it was like for Willsy racing as a WSX wildcard at Marvel Stadium against some of the best riders from around the world. What was planned to be a short 15 minute interview ended up blowing out to 40 minutes of awesome moto content and one of my favourite interviews so far. This is definitely an episode you don't want to miss out on!

Justin Carafa is a guy that nearly everyone in the motocross paddock knows or knows of – and for good reason. He started his professional motocross and supercross career 18 years ago, and though he’s a bit more selective these days about the races he does, he can still keep up with some of the fastest riders in the country. 

Over the course of his career, Justin has raced motocross, supercross and offroad events at the highest levels in Australia, and spent several years racing both indoors and outdoors in Europe. The riders he has gone bar to bar with on the track includes some absolute icons of the sport, and it’s a privilege having him here in Moto Asylum with me to record this episode of Inside the Helmet.

With the 2023 Aussie Supercross about to kick off in Radelaide, joining me in studio for this episode is one of the key players pulling some of the strings behind scenes – General Manager of AME – Mick Sinclair.

Mick’s been putting out a bunch of media over the last few weeks, giving updates on the range of great initiatives AME have cooked up for the 2023 Championship, which is looking to be just the first step in a bright new era of Aussie Supercross. We’ll of course be touching on not only what those initiatives are, but also the reasons behind how and why they came about. 

In addition to his work on this year's Aussie Supercross Championship, Mick’s spent the last two decades working with moto-industry icons such as Crusty Demons of Dirt, Nitro Circus, Fox Australia, Peter Stevens Harley Heaven and the World Supercross Championship (WSX). So we'll be chatting about all of those things, and get to learn a bit about Mick and his  journey leading up to his current role in the industry.

Joining me in-studio for this episode of Inside the Helmet, is Zane Mackintosh.

There are plenty of laughs as we discuss Zane's experiences living the motolife, his first season racing the MX2 class of the ProMX Championship and his preparation for the upcoming Aussie Supercross. We also breakdown the cost putting together a program to race the whole series as a privateer, and how to make it a sustainable career. 

As well as being a rider, Zane is clearly also a fan and student of the sport, so we delve into all of the other things that are currently happening in the wider moto scene - from Motocross of Nations, the unanswered questions about the "World" Supermotocross series which kicks off this weekend, and the awesome breaking news regarding the World Supercross Championship.

Hope you enjoy it!

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.
