Ricky Johnson and Jeff Ward are back for part two with legendary motocross and mountain bike journalist Zapata Espinoza. If you missed episode one with Zap, be sure to scroll up and find it, as it's a good one!

On paper the overall results from the Hangtown Motocross Classic are a repeat of round one, but the action was far different and - dare we say - even more exciting! The Dirt Diggers M.C. always do an amazing job of putting on the NorCal race, and even though the temperatures were borderline unbearable, the things that unfolded on the race track made the sunburn and dehydration all worthwhile.

Two-time 250 National Champion Jeremy Martin left the 2023 Hangtown 250 National in the back of an ambulance with a badly broken arm that would ultimately put him out for the remainder of the season. After missing all of 2024, and then accepting a job as the VIP Tour Guide for the Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha team during this year's Supercross series, many assumed that JMart was, in fact, done with racing. Off the record, he told a few months ago that he planned to purchase a bike race this summer's Millville 450 National as his final farewell to racing, but that all took a big u-turn when he was asked to fill in for the numerous injured Star 250 riders at the first three Nationals this summer.

Martin lined up last weekend at Fox Raceway with a mere eight days of riding the Star machine under his belt, and he carded 20-20 moto scores for four championship points and 21st overall at the series kickoff. "Absolutely got my teeth kicked in at Pala," he wrote on his Instagram on Monday. "Went from training for a marathon to racing round one."

We tried to speak with Martin after the race on Saturday, but he was long gone by the time we made it to the Star truck, so we asked him to join us for some bench racing in this afternoon's Midweek Podcast, presented by 6D Helmets!

The Fox Raceway National was awesome. It was as simple as that. That being said, we were too excited to get to talking about the things we saw, so we got together for a Sunday evening edition of the Kickstart Podcast! Enjoy!

The 2025 Pro Motocross Nationals get underway this weekend at Fox Raceway and both classes are stacked with contenders. In the 450 division, we have lots to look forward to as Saturday will mark the return to action of both Lawrence brothers and Eli Tomac and the American motocross debut of Jorge Prado. Of course, you can't count out defending 450 Champion Chase Sexton who has plenty to prove after narrowly missing out on the Supercross Championship, or new SX Champ Cooper Webb, for that matter. Who do you see winning this weekend? Comment below!

Jeff Ward and Ricky Johnson are back at it again! This week, the two motocross legends break down what all went down at the Salt Lake City Supercross, and more!

Presented by 6D Helmets

When Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha's Eli Tomac brake his leg at the Tampa Supercross in February, fans around the globe groaned with disappointment that the eight-time AMA Champion was again sidelined with injury. After having his fibula plated on February 14, Tomac initially told us that he hoped to return to racing in time to get some gate drops in the final rounds of the Supercross championship in order to be ready for the May 24 Pro Motocross kickoff at Fox Raceway. After getting back on the bike, however, ET decided that his time would be better spent training at his Cortez, Colorado, ranch in preparation for an all-out assault on this summer's series, and he told us in today's podcast that he is 100% up to speed and has never come into a motocross series so prepared. Tomac also told us that this most recent injury, coupled with how great he felt before it, has changed his mind about 2025 being his last year of racing full time. "I am not done racing," he said, with certainty. But hit play already and hear him say it himself! Thanks for checking out the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast, on a Friday. Ha!

Supercross 2025 is done and dusted and what a series it was! The Salt Lake City finale inside Rice-Eccles Stadium provided plenty of action and we go through everything that we saw, learned, and heard! Enjoy!

The guys are at it again and this time, Jeff Ward and Ricky Johnson have invited their first guest on the Podium to Present Show! Zapata Espinoza is a lifelong motocross and mountain bike journalist who has been around Johnson and Ward from the beginning. Who would you like to see on the show? Comment below!

The Denver Supercross provided more than its fair share of exciting moments, didn't it? From Chase Sexton's picture-perfect day-long performance to Haiden Deegan's authoritative pass on his teammate to earn his third win of the series and wrap up the title with one race left, the crowd on hand at Empower field didn't know whether to cheer or boo! We recap it all on this week's show!
