The Pro Motocross Championship wrapped up a four-month, 11-race tour of the country with the 2024 Ironman Motocross. A picturesque August day in Indiana saw four action-packed motos and the awarding of the 450 MX title, and after everything was over, we grabbed time with a handful of riders to talk about last gate drops of the summer.

Michael Leib has transitioned from journeyman Supercross racer to entrepreneur in less than five years. His companies - Canvas MX and Lucid Manufacturing - have found their place in motocross and in many ways, have changed how many of us think about motocross and off-road riding apparel. Leib's newest venture - SMX Jerseys - has begun to fill a void and create a new niche for race fans, by producing replica racing hero jerseys that are available on an on-demand basis. Wearing your own motocross jersey to a Supercross is dorky, but what if you could wear an Aaron Plessinger #7 Thor jersey? That's one no different than wearing a Jordan jersey to a Bulls game, right? We sat down with Leib to get the scoop on SMX Jerseys, only a few weeks after ordering our own David Bailey replica JT Racing jersey off Instagram!

Budds Creek Motocross Park in Mechanicsville, Maryland, has hosted some truly memorable races through the years. The mention of the legendary racetrack always sparks a memory for motocross race fans of all ages and generations. Last weekend's racing at the championship's penultimate round certainly produced some new memorable moments, from Haiden Deegan's dominant first moto championship-clinching performance to Chase Sexton's amazing passing en route to the final 450 moto win. We recap all that, plus a lot more!

The Pro Motocross Championship continued its summer-long run with round ten, the 2024 Budds Creek Motocross. A warm day in Maryland saw rain and heat, close racing in both classes, multiple passes, and a title presentation, all of which riders detailed for us after the checkered flag.

The other day, we randomly wondered what Travis Pastrana has been up to lately. The last time we spoke was just before the 2023/34 Nitro Cross Series finale in Las Vegas, and TP had just undergone knee replacement surgery. A quick "What's up?" text, and voila, this installment of the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast. As always, Travis is a hoot! Enjoy!
