Cade Clason has been a fixture in 450 Supercross main events for well over a decade now, and the privateer standout announced his retirement from professional racing a couple of months ago, just before the Salt Lake Supercross series finale. The Salt Lake City main event marked the 70th main event of Clason's career, and he joined us at Whistler Bike Park in British Columbia for a special vacation edition of the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast.

Off-weekend podcasts are sometimes the most fun, as we get to flap our lips about what we choose to! This week on the Kickstart Podcast by Maxxis, we recap what we know about the X-Games Best Whip and Best Trick events that went on last weekend in Sacramento, and talk about the new developments in the silly season game of musical chairs. Also, do you wash your motocross gloves every ride? How about your helmet liner? Comment below! haha!

A couple of weeks ago, a post on Travis Pastrana's Instagram caught our attention, in which Dana White phoned up the action sports hero and said that he had gotten clearance for Pastrana to jump his dirt bike over the WHite House lawn. Over the next few days, posts from other heroes of moto began to surface... When Jeremy McGrath showed up tp jump ramps at Twitch's house, we knew something really big was happening!

Unless you've been living in a cave, you should already know that Pastrana, McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, Keith Sayers, Brian Deegan, and Jeremy Stenberg all got to jump the White House lawn in the "Freedom Jump" exhibition held as part of the UFC Freedom 250 festivities celebrating America's 250th anniversary.

We caught up with Pastrana to find out just how crazy it was to get such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in this installment of the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast!

Round four of the 2026 Pro Motocross Nationals saw some surprising results, with big brother Hunter Lawrence turning the tables on Jettson and sweeping both 450 motos, and Eastern Division 250 Supercross Champion Cole Davies turning in a perfect day in the 250 class to earn his first-ever National win. ARay and Chase review everything that went down at High Point in this week's Kickstart Podcast, presented by Maxxis.

Round three of the Pro Motocross National Championship Series headed up to Thunder Valley MX, and American race fans were treated to a visit from the Coenen brothers from Belgium, who definitely made a statement with their performances in Colorado. Chase Curtis was on the scene last weekend and was able to gather lots of insight from the event to share with us today on the Kickstart Podcast by Maxxis Tires.

Last weekend's race at Prairie City OHV Park was awesome! The Hangtown Motocross Classic is one of our favorites to attend, as the Dirt Diggers MC does an amazing job of promoting the second round of the Pro Motocross Championship series. Donn and Dommer made the drive to NorCal to cover the race, and although they missed the ghost ride in the Kawasaki pits, they saw just about everything else! Had a great time in this week's review show. Enjoy!

The 2026 Pro Motocross Nationals got underway last weekend at Fox Raceway, and the race delivered results that were both surprising and exciting! Hunter Lawrence made a big statement with his dominant performance in the 450 class, and Seth Hammaker enjoyed a breakout ride that saw him make his MX podium debut with a win! We go through everything from last weekend in this week's show, and it was a blast!

If the name Bob Rathkamp doesn't ring a bell, perhaps the brands Axo Sport America, Sinisalo Pacific, or Gaerne North America might. Rathkamp moved to California from his home in Minnesota when a job with O'Neal Distribution presented the opportunity to escape the harsh winters and enjoy year-round riding. Soon enough, he joined his good friend Jim Hale at Axo Sport America, and later took over the North American import and distribution duties for Sinisalo from Finland, and also Gaerne from Italy. Bob and I first met in the early 1990s when I was an assistant editor at Cycle News, and in this installment of the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast, we recall many of the great times and products of the past three decades...

We are only a few days away from the first gate drops of the summer, and what could be the most exciting Pro Motocross Series in years. With Haiden Deegan moving up to the 450 class to join the Lawrence brothers, Jorge Prado, Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, and the rest, that also leaves the 250 title up for grabs and plenty of room for new top-10 contenders. We go over all the good stuff leading into this weekend's Fox Raceway National! Enjoy.
