‘Scuba Steve’ dives in to 'Torq Moto'It’s time again for another episode of the 'Torq Moto Podcast Show’ with hosts Doc Wobs and ‘Jeffro’ Perrett as they once again sit down with a guest to talk about their career and opinions. This time around they're joined by former junior World 85cc, Loretta Lynn’s and European 250cc motocross champion, Steven ‘Scuba’ Clarke. In this first of two episodes ‘Clarkey’ talks through his journey to becoming a world champion, how it all started and the huge influence his dad Richard has had on his progression. Steve talks fondly of his days racing youth motocross, even though by his own admission he wasn’t any good, but that all changed after his first trip to the Millsaps Training Facility (MTF) in Georgia, USA. It was a ‘penny drop’ moment for Steve and he came away from there knowing he wanted to be a professional racer and what he had to do to get there. Here he talks candidly about the sacrifices made by himself and his family to not only win the 2005 Junior World 85cc title but also the 2007 Loretta Lynn’s Schoolboy 2 14-16 title beating the likes of Jose Butron, Valentin Teillet and Dean Wilson along the way to both championships and what life was like on the road and living in America as a teenager. You can listen to episode one of the ‘Steven Clarke interview' on the Torq Moto Podcast show on either Spotify or Apple or watch the interview on the ‘Torq Moto’ YouTube channel from 7pm this coming Thursday 15th May, where you can also find all previous episodes.

Join us on this episode of Docwob TV as we take a nostalgic look back at the unforgettable moments from the 2024 season!

It’s been an action-packed year filled with not one, but two incredible vet events: the VMXdN Foxhill and Farleigh Castle Vets MX!

What started as a four-bike build quickly escalated to an astonishing ten bikes—definitely a journey with many highs and lows. The multiple pipes we went through at Foxhill with Mike Brown and Ryan Villopoto were insane. It was also great to have the likes of Alessio Chiodi and Sean Lipanovich under the awning at VMXdN and Dakar winner Sam Sunderland at Farleigh Castle Vets MX. I always say, "Never again," but who knows what the future holds? The riders are already lining up for VMXdN Foxhill 2025!

In addition to our main projects, we dove into some exceptional customer builds, a personal project or two, and even squeezed in a trial bike on the titanium side. There was a lot of love out there for BTS tour of Pro Circuit, the RM250AF build and the CR500 two-stroke project.
