In this episode of the WannaBes Mobcast we are interviewing Max Gerston who is a staple in the hard enduro and EnduroCross series here in the United States. You might recognize him by his iconic cowboy hat and mustache combo that he has become famous for in the moto community. Max has an impressive resume of podium finishes and a wealth of knowledge for anyone in the sport. Max Gerston is not just an incredible rider but is also a bit of a media personality himself. In the hard enduro series this season Max is making a shift into media commentary where he reports trail side for major racing events and even jumps into the race to provide some trail footage of the top contenders.   

When Max isn't racing EnduroCross or busy making awesome videos about the Hard Enduro series, you can find him at his training facility in Arizona. Thats right, Max is also invested in helping others reach their fullest potential on the backs of their petrol ponies. No matter if you are a new rider or a pro, Max can help you improve your riding skills at his own personal training facility.  We had such a great time talking with Max and learning about how he grew into the pro racer, entrepreneur, commentator, and trainer that he is today. We didn't have nearly enough time to get to all of the topic that we wanted to cover so in out next episode we will focus on trining to bring you all of Max's wisdom. Until next time we hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Simon Cudby is a pro moto photographer. He has been for much of his career. And he's damn good at it too, just go look if you're curious. But in a world dominated by "authentic" content (you know "blair witch quality cell phone clips) that are popular for maybe 5 minutes on a social media feed, does pro photography still have a place in the sport? We chat through this existential question and a whole lot else (like moto history, vlogging, travel photography, and life philosophy) in our interview with Simon.

Check out Johnny Weisman on Instagram here - https://www.instagram.com/therideshopaz/

Johnathan Weisman is a legend of a suspension mechanic, handling most of the suspension work for some of the top Sherco Factory riders, including greats like Destry Abbott, Cody Webb, and Louse Forsley (who all happen to have also been our Mobcast guests recently, I'm sure that's just a coincidence). Because of his experience running race level enduro suspension for so many of the riders we're so impressed with, we figured Johnny would be the ideal person to come talk to you all about how you can maximize your own suspension outcomes. We were not disappointed! Johnny pretty much blew our minds, ok maybe not literally, but he did really impress us with his approach, ideas, and intuition when it came down to how suspension actually works. 

Most people know there are springs (or air), some oil, and some little clickers that make things different. But how it all comes together into a comprehensive "theory of suspension" is as black box as, well real black boxes. Few people, us included, have any real sense for what happens inside those shiny canisters, it's probably magic right?

Talking with Johnny was so eye opening because he demystified how it all works together, how your riding style impacts your choices, and he tells us where to start when thinking about suspension tuning for the first time. Anyway, before we spoil it all, just go listen for yourselves, you will not be disappointed. 

We do need to quickly thank you for bearing with our audio issues on this episode. We had some technical difficulties, basically it was a shitshow of poor podcast operations (all on us, no fault of Johnny). We're getting it dialed, listen to this one because it's worth it, we'll have our act together next time, we promise.

Check out Destry Abbott on Instagram here - https://www.instagram.com/destryabbott/ 

Destry Abbott is an absolute legend in the off road racing world and we at the WannaBes were honored to talk with him about his career and the advice that he has for anyone that rides a dirt bike. As a factory rider for fourteen years for the Monster Energy Kawasaki team, Destry won ten major championships as well as seven gold medals at the famous International Six Days Enduro (ISDE). Destry also won five AMA National Hare & Hound Championships and has competed in enduro cross in the X-Games. Destry has had an incredible life not only as a multigenerational off road racer but also as a leukemia survivor, which you can learn more about in the featured film Strong on Amazon. 

Strong is a must see movie about Destry's battle with cancer and will really make you appreciate his upbeat attitude and constant positive outlook on life.

Also check out the DA8 Strong Foundation helping improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families - https://www.da8strong.org 

Destry is also father to Cooper Abbott who is a recently signed FactoryONE Sherco rider. 

We first interviewed Cooper a few months back and you can see that episode here. 

Destry now runs the DA8 Training school where he works with pro racers and moto enthusiasts to help them improve their riding abilities. Destry has a wealth of knowledge and is an amazing instructor. We could have talked with Destry for hours and probably not even scratched the surface of the wisdom that he could share with us. We will have to do another podcast in the future where we talk more about techniques and training for everyone's riding benefit.

In this episode we sit down with Trials Champion and now Hard Enduro rider Louise Forsley to talk about all things dirt bike. Louise tells us how trials competition kept her going as a kid, and why she's recently been pushing more into enduro riding for a change of pace. We chat through what it's like to compete as a female rider and she shares a couple stories to help us understand her perspective on this sport. We talk fitness training, and how you keep your head in the game when the going get's tough.

In this episode of the WannaBes Mobcast we talk with Cooper Abbott who has just signed his first contract with FactoryONE Shirco coming over from the KTM satellite team RPM Racing. Cooper is the son of Destry Abbott who holds ten major championships and seven gold metals at the International Six Days Enduro as well as 3 finals at the X Games.  

Cooper talked to us about how he got started in Enduro Cross, having really pursued his riding career since he was a teenager and now as a factory rider here in the United States for the FactoryOne Sherco Team. Cooper gave us a ton of really great advice about bikes and riding as well as a glimpse into what it is like to be a professional rider.  As an up and coming name in the sport, Cooper said that he is excited for the next several years of racing, improving his technical skills, learning from the legend and now team mate Cody Webb, and becoming a regular podium finisher in not only Enduro Cross here in the US but also the FIM Super Enduro and Extreme series in Europe as well.  

We really enjoyed talking to with Cooper and are excited to share this conversation with you all. We hope you get as much out of it as well did.

This has to be one of the best episodes of the WannaBes Mobcast to date. This is the fourth podcast episode but it was also the first time we got to interview a guest in person. In this episode of the WannaBes Mobcast we interviewed Travis Brock from the EverySingleSunday YouTube and Instagram channels. 

You can find the EverySingleSunday channels here.   

https://www.youtube.com/c/EverySingleSunday 

https://www.instagram.com/every_single_sunday/

In this episode Travis tells us how he started the EverySingleSunday channels as an influencer on YouTube. We cover a wide range of topics from the day job that allows Travis to be the EverySingleSunday guy at the same time, to trends and strategies that have help build the EverySingleSunday channels. We talked about how Travis broke his leg recently riding a Honda Grom. The moral of the story was don't buy a Honda Grom... Just kidding! Wear the proper riding gear. :) We also talked about how Travis came be to such a good rider and his love for motorcycles. As an influencer running the EverySingleSunday channels, Travis has ridden various dirt bikes all across the United States, Canada, and Mexico and has worked with partners like BikeBandit and Ready To Ride Rentals. As part of his travels he has a ton of great stories to tell like the time Travis rode the Big Bear Trial Ride on a KTM 790 and a lot of his adventures are published on his YouTube channel.

Check out Cody on Instagram and YouTube here.   https://www.instagram.com/codywebb2/

Also check out All Kids Bikes who Cody is an ambassador for.  https://allkidsbike.org 

Cody Webb who was previously the National Trials Champion made the jump to become a pro hard enduro rider and is now the man on the podium in almost every race he competes in. We talked too Cody about how he got stared in riding with his dad who was a trials rider himself. Cody has been riding nearly his whole life, starting in trials where he competed in the early 2000's. Like many trials riders he saw the rise of hard enduro and enduro cross here in the United States. It wasn't long before Cody jumped on an enduro bike and quickly rose to the top of the sport.   Cody Webb gave us a ton of great riding advice and insights into the life of a pro enduro rider. We didn't get a chance to ask all of the questions that we wanted so we will have to do a part two podcast to finish the conversation.
