Dale Davis and the Xtreme 1990s! | 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast

Presented by 6D Helmets Kenny Alexander is a lifelong motocross racer who's made a great career for himself in the Hollywood stunt industry. Still, to us, he's the man who founded Fasthouse and also created the Day in the Dirt Motocross Grand Prix. With the Thanksgiving holiday only a few days away, that means that our favorite race of the year is literally upon us, so we got Alexander on the phone to talk about all things Fasthouse, Day in the Dirt, and moto!

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co We just wrapped up our 2026 450 MX Shootout last week, and SML Senior Test Rider Pat Foster joins us on this week's show to talk about bikes, testing, and more. Nine bikes a day, two days in a row, is no joke, and we all learned a lot over the time we spent on all of the machines. We also preview the upcoming WSX Supercross in Australia, and more. Enjoy!

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. It was a successful weekend for the KTM Group, as Eli Tomac made a winning debut aboard his new Red Bull KTM in Canada, and Malcolm Stewart used his Rockstar Husqvarna to earn the King of Paris Crown in France! We were on hand in Vancouver for the second round of the FIM WSX World Championship Supercross Series, and getting to see Tomac compete on his KTM 450 SX-F for the first time was really something. We talk about that and more, on this week's Kickstart Podcast presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co.

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co The 2025/26 FIM World Supercross Championship kicked off last weekend in Buenos Aires City, Argentina, and while we tuned in on the Recast broadcast, our friend Kristen Beat was there working as part of the broadcast team and got to see the action, first-hand. That said, we had Kristen join us on the show this morning to give us her insight and input about all things WSX, then we shifted our attention to last week's Red Bull KTM team launch, and more! Enjoy!

Presented by 6D HelmetsWhether Dave Castillo's name rings a bell for you or not, we're willing to bet that you have unknowingly enjoyed his work in one way or another. A professional racer in the 90s, Castillo is the son of Jim Castillo, founder of Innovation Sports, the brand that practically invented knee bracing. After curtailing his full-time racing efforts, Dave teamed up with his dad to create Asterisk, the most successful off-the-shelf knee brace company in our sport. Concurrently, Dave began a career in Hollywood as a stuntman. Early on, Castillo specialized in two-wheeled stunts, but eventually grew into other aspects of the industry, including stunt coordinating. Currently, Dave is still busy in Hollywood and remains connected with his motocross roots by racing the annual Day in the Dirt Motocross Grand Prix that started out as a Hollywood stunt event, but also with his family company Intake Breathing, which produces the breathing kit that utilizes two small stick-on steel discs and a magnetic nose clip that expands your nasal passages.

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. While October 1 was the date we expected all of the news about 2026 to be released, much of the formal "goodbye," and "thanks for the memories" press releases have trickled in over the past couple of weeks. Does that mean that the remaining "news" will drop on Saturday, November 1? Or will they be released on Monday the third? No matter...while we await the official news about Sexton and Kawasaki, Tomac and Prado at KTM, Deegan in Fox, Barcia and Ferrandis with Ducati, and more...we had a good time speculating about all those pairings, and more!

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. Some interesting stuff to talk about on this week's Kickstart Podcast! Last week, formal "goodbyes" were issued by several teams, thanking racers for their time and wishing them success in the future. While it's well known where all of the big players are headed, we discuss the open Kawasaki 450 seat, as well as Jorge Prado's challenging public image in 2026. Chase saw him in action on his orange machine last week, and we talked about that, as well as a telling conversation we had with Cameron McAdoo recently.

Presented by 6D Helmets Dale Davis is one of the behind-the-scenes players in the motocross industry whose work has made a lasting impression on most of you in one way or another. From advertising work to logos he has created, and from a brand he built to the graphics he has created currently, Davis is a creative mastermind with some great stories to tell.

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. What a glorious time of year it is! With the 2025 Motocross of Nations in the history books, last weekend marked the first genuine off-season weekend for the motocross industry. Except for teams and racers contesting the Arenacross or WSX World Championship Series, most who were involved in the 31 racers that made up the Supercross, Motocross, and SMX Playoff series should have really soaked up last weekend. Ours started off with the Celebration of Life for our friend and partner Doni Wilson, who we lost on August 11 to a battle with ALS. It was an amazing event and it was a nice way to close the chapter on our time of mourning the loss of DW. There's that, and a whole lot more in this week's podcast!

The 2025 Motocross of Nations is now in the record books, and the events that went down at Ironman Raceway last weekend were simply amazing for a hardcore motocross fan. The best racers from around the world converged on Crawfordsville, Indiana, for the most prestigious race of the year, and patriotism was at an all-time high! Swapmoto Live was there to witness Team Australia earning its second-consecutive MXoN Championship, while the last-minute United States team of Eli Tomac, RJ Hampshire, and Justin Cooper upheld American pride with a solid second-place showing. In this week's Kickstart Podcast by Maxxis Tires and Outhouse Coffee Co., we recap all of the wild stuff we saw!
