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!

Our industry guest in this episode is Travis Coward, founder and owner of Death Grip gloves. 

If you are a bit of a gear nerd like me, I think you’ll like this episode, as we take a deep dive into the world of motocross gloves, and how Trav came up with the idea for  Death Grip.

We also chat about the impending start to the AMA supercross season, the three Aussie riders set to do battle against the US riders in the West Coast 250 class this weekend, and make some predictions about which riders will rise to the top of the 450 class in 2023. 

I’ve raced motocross against Trav and the banter we share on the track naturally made it's way into the studio. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!
