CHAPTER 205
billy bolt
Billy Bolt has had one of the most meteoric rises to the top of the two-wheeled world that I have ever come across. In actual fact, I had no idea just how incredible his rise was until we sat down for this episode of Gypsy Tales. Maybe that is why literally hundreds of people have DM’d be over the last couple of years begging to get Mr. Bolt on the podcast.
Billy is a part of the UK Syndicate that is slowly taking over YouTube, consisting of himself, Tommy Searle and lensman Ed Warren. Through his amazing vlogs and their podcast he has single handedly made the world of off-road as cool as it Motocross and Supercross cousin and creating a lane to follow for any would-be enduro rider.
Not only is Billy Bolt an incredible talent on a bike, but he is also a larger than life personality that one can’t help but be drawn to. Billy spent most of his career grinding away on a trials bike before borrowing the money off his mum for an enduro bike and then going on to earn 5th place at his first ever Erzberg Hard Enduro… Fucking animal. Just five months into his enduro career Billy earned himself a spot on the Factory Husqvarna Team and the enduro landscape has never looked the same.
From an English lad that spent his teenage years reading every piece of print media cover to cover to a now multiple time world champion, the story of Billy Bolt of one of the most inspiring ever told on Gypsy Tales!

Jo Shimoda is one of the fastest rising stars in the sport and the only Japanese rider currently racing at the top level of the sport. Jo has had a dream run over the past few years chalking up multiple wins and podiums in Supercross and the AMA Pro Motocross series, culminating in a second overall this past summer to phenom Jett Lawrence.
Denan Kemp is more than just a Bloke in a Bar. He is the man behind the biggest sports podcast in Australia and has built a brand around his podcast that I truly look up too. Since I first came across the Bloke podcast I have looked up to Denan and I have been looking forwards to the day that he finally made his debut on Gypsy Tales.
Justin Barcia has been on of my favourite riders since he was on an 85cc 2-stroke ripping MTF and taking out every older rider in his path. He was one of the most hyped amateurs to ever turn pro, and he didn’t disappoint. JB went on to earn himself two Lites Supercross titles while also earning his now infamous nickname Bam Bam.
Gypsy Tales is the brainchild of Jase Macalpine, a filmmaker who has spent the last 10yrs traveling the globe. GT ft. the friends made along the way.
