Round 15 of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship went down in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, last weekend, bringing the best form of motorsports racing to the area for the first time in over 40 years. And let's just say that the capacity crowd on hand was stoked to see the racing action that unfolded! Maximus Vohland joins us on today's show to talk about his first professional podium finish, his crazy hand brake, and more. Today was a good time...enjoy!

Welcome back to Podium to Present with Rick Johnson and Jeff Ward. After last weekend's successful show launch, the two motocross and Supercross legends are back to talk everything Motocross of Nations and Trophy des Nations. If you are old enough to remember the glory days of motocross, grab your favorite beverage and settle in. If you're too young, grab a notepad and learn a thing or two! Enjoy!

The Monster Energy Supercross Championship rolled into MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for the 14th round of the 17-race series, and the track was gnarly! Seth Hammaker and Chase Sexton turned in riding clinics in the 250 and 450 main events. respectfully, making the technical conditions look much simpler than the rest of their competitors. We address everything that we saw and learned last weekend in this week's Kickstart Podcast.

If you are a serious motocross and Supercross fan, you should know the names Ricky Johnson and Jeff Ward. Together, they have 14 National Motocross and Supercross Championships, over 100 race victories, and 11 Motocross of Nations Championships. In their prime, they were fierce rivals but these days they get along quite well. Swapmoto Live is proud to welcome the two racing legends onto our team, where they will host the Podium to Present Show. Welcome to the series pilot!

We are in the home stretch of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross Championship Series, and things are heating up! For the second weekend in a row, rain played a big role in the track surface, and while not a quagmire like we had in Foxborough, the track in Philadelphia was certainly treacherous in its own way. We saw Cole Davies earn his second-straight win in a row in the 250 division, although this time, his win came in the East/West Showdown, and he passed all of the big names en route to his win. We are all very impressed with the young New Zealander and are anxious to see how much more dangerous he becomes with each passing win. In the 450 class, Chase Sexton closed the points gap between he and Cooper Webb to 12 with a textbook victory in the challenging conditions, and it's evident that it is going to be a dogfight until the end between the two rivals.

This weekend will mark the first of five Monster Energy Supercross events that Dean Wilson will compete in on the Honda HRC Progressive team as he fills in for the injured Jett and Hunter Lawrence. Since retiring from full-time racing last year, Wilson has maintained a fairly robust schedule, competing in races around the globe for fun and making the most of his ability to race a dirt bike. The recently crowned British Arenacross Champion joined us for a fun Fly Friday Podcast to talk about the Grandpa Earl announcement video, his busy past few months, the factory HRC Honda CRF450R, and more!

SLR Honda's Mikayla Nielsen recently traveled to Australia with four other American female motocross racers to represent the United States in the Oceania Cup, a WMX event that pitted four countries against each other over a two-day, three-moto format. The event - in which the USA finished a close second - hasn't seen much publicity in the American motocross media, so we asked our SoCal neighbor to join us on the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast and fill us in on the whole experience. Enjoy!

Our luck ran out last weekend in Foxborough, and round 12 of the Monster Energy Supercross Series was an absolute quagmire! While the winners in each class were no surprise, the rest of the results column was filled with names in places that we're not used to seeing. On that note, we invited fourth-place 250 finisher Justin Rodbell to take a break from his job as an HVAC technician and join us on the Kickstart podcast.

For as ho-hum as the Birmingham Supercross was a couple of weeks ago, the Seattle Supercross was a barn burner! Rain in the days before the race produced a race track that was arguably the most technical and challenging of the year, and the racing action that developed was wild! We recap everything from the Pacific Northwest in this week's Kickstart Pod.

We're officially past the halfway part of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross Championship and things are as tight as ever with only eight points separating Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton in the battle for the number-one plate and 10 points between East Coast Champ Tom Vialle and pursuer RJ Hampshire. Last weekend's final Triple Crown of the series may have lacked tooth-in-nail battles to the finish, but there was plenty of material to go over in this week's race recap.
