Recent installment of the Gypsy Tales Podcast features a true Aussie making it all happen in the States. at round 16 of the supercross series we linked up with banga. Privateers are often overlooked when it comes to sponsors, they’re heading to races on their own terms, racing old bikes and even getting belongings stolen from the van while racing heat race. Banga will explain that one…

This podcast is one to listen to! there’s not better story than what comes out the back of the pits!

Anton Wass is the co-founder and CEO of Stark Future. Just over a year ago they sent shockwaves (no pun intended) when they announced the Stark Var, the first ever electric dirt bike that is a real rival to our traditional combustion bikes of today.
I have spent the past week at the Stark factory in Barcelona Spain recording podcasts and doing endurance testing on the Varg and we finished the week off with this chat with Anton. Over the past 12 months Anton has become a good friend and it’s epic to get to sit down at length to talk about the future of 2 wheels!

This one is an absolute banger with one of the greats in the sport of Motocross and Supercross. Jeff Emig was one of the sports most enigmatic figures through the 90’s and instead of retiring into the sunset post career, he started on a whole new journey in sports broadcasting. After 12 years calling the AMA Supercross he now has a new focus in the form of the World Supercross Championship with long time partner Ralph Sheheen.
As always thanks so much for supporting the podcast!

Loic Bruni is one of the fastest men to ever ride a bicycle down a hill and since his first World Championship in 2015 he has been able to repeat that feat 4 more times, in one of the most competitive eras of the sport. I first met Loic way back in 2015 and we have been friends ever since, but haven never managed to make our paths cross. We were both in Barcelona this week and knew we needed to make the podcast happen. This is one half interview with Super Bruni, and one half catch up between two old friends! I hope you enjoy.

Paul Malin is a former professional motocross rider from England who is widely recognised as one of the most knowledgeable and respected commentators in the world of motocross. Since retiring from racing, he has become a fixture in the MXGP commentary booth, providing expert analysis and insight during live broadcasts of the sport’s biggest events.

CHAPTER 252 KEVIN MORANZ KEVIN MORANZ Kevin Moranz is one of the top privateers in the sport and has been slowly dialing in his program

Your current (tied) points leading in the 450 class proves the headspace he is in by casually dropping into the studio for this epic yarn. We have been wanting to make this happen for a long time and the timing couldn’t be better. I have known Coop for almost 15 years but I was able to learn so much about him throughout this podcast and I really hope you guys enjoy getting an insight into the mind of one of the most savage racers of all time.

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.

Christian Craig is one of the sport of Supercross genuine success stories. From a highly touted amateur career that blossomed into an early professional career marred by serious injuries, Christian stepped away from the sport completely and resigned himself to an early retirement.
