As always, the Daytona Supercross kicked off Bike Week in Florida, and the racing was everything that we have come to expect from the roughest circuit in the series. Jett Lawrence put on a riding clinic as he notched his third win of the season, handily topping seven-time Daytona winner Eli Tomac in his first premier-class showing at the World Center of Racing. We talk about everything we saw, learned and heard at last weekend's race.

We caught up with Travis Pastrana today to talk about this weekend's Nitrocross at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegan, Nevada, but the conversation also turned towards the amazing Supercross season that we have all been enjoying. It's always a pleasure chatting with 199...we think you'll enjoy!

The Arlington Supercross was one wild night for sure! We saw lots of things and had a ton to talk about in this week's Kickstart Podcast. With Chase Curtis in Florida with tester Pat Foster for the Triumph intro, we invited our long-time test rider and friend, Tallon LaFountaine to join in on the bench racing today!

The ninth-annual Mini Monsters MX by Seven MX went off last weekend at Glen Helen Raceway and nearly 800 racers showed up to do battle on an exclusive track layout. We talk about all the weekend shenanigans - both during and after hours - as well as the latest happenings in our sport!

The sixth round of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship visited Glendale, Arizona, last weekend and the massive track yielded some great results, even though the racing on the track wasn't necessarily that spectacular. We battled through some horrible screw-ups and a missing co-host this morning to bring you this week's Pro Taper Kickstart Podcast. Rest assured, some big changes are coming for next week. Thanks for bearing with us.

The Monster Energy Supercross Championship visited Detroit, Michigan, last weekend for the fifth round of the year, and the event did not disappoint! Eastern Regional 250 Supercross Championship Series kicked off and we got to see a whole new batch of racers behind the starting gate. Highlights included the debut of the Triumph racing team, our first repeat winner of the season in the 450 class, Haiden Deegan's debut as the defending 250 SMX Champion, and of course....Cameron McAdoo's gritty ride after a horrific first-turn crash. McAdoo called in on today's show to talk about the incident that social media is buzzing about: this week's show is nuts!

Though he's been retired from professional racing for over a decade, Jason Lawrence remains one of the most polarizing personalities in our sport. Earlier this year JLaw was set to race the Kicker Arenacross Series with the Phoenix Honda team, but that deal unravelled before the series even started. Lawrence has since taken an interest in the AMA US Sprint Enduro Series and is set to compete at round two this weekend in Union, South Carolina, aboard a Kawasaki KX450 that he purchased recently. We caught up with JLaw this morning to talk about his new interest in Sprint Enduro, what happened with Phoenix Honda, his biggest regrets in racing, cool riding gear, and lots more!

We're four rounds deep into the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross Series and we have an incredible eight - that's right: eight - different overall winners in the 250 and 450 classes! Last weekend's Triple Crown produced some amazing races on a brutal track that challenged riders throughout the day, but at least it wasn't raining, right? This week, we recap everything that we saw, heard, and learned...all in person!

Imagine starting a graphics company in a small town in Germany, just to fund your dirt bike habit, and having it blow up into a worldwide success! That's exactly what Philipp Klakow has done with Backyard Design USA. As our favorite graphics company to work with - their designs and quality are second-to-none - we were stoked to see Philipp stateside a few weeks ago as he had planned to race the first couple of Supercross rounds for fun. Sadly, he broke his femur in a crash a few days before Anaheim One, but we can assure you that this injury will not dampen his enthusiasm for the sport.
