Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. We hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas with family and friends! On this week's show, we recap some of the things that have developed in the sport over the holiday, plus talk about what swap saw at the Baker's Factory last week when he paid a visit to Florida to see Malcolm Stewart, Aaron Plessinger, RJ Hampshire, Jorge Prado, Daxton Bennick, Casey Cochran, and more, prepare for the 2026 season.

Presented by 6D Helmets Unless you're one of the elite few who earn a factory ride, racing Supercross and motocross professionally is not sustainable for years on end. Finding a career that keeps you involved in the sport you love is the dream for most racers when they retire, but even that can be a challenge. Jared Hicks was a Supercross privateer who teamed up with German privateer Philipp Klakow to start a custom graphics company to support their racing habit, way back in 2011. These days, Backyard Design USA has grown exponentially, and Hicks and Klakow are working full-time to grow their company from both sides of the globe. Hicks is also one of Dirt Bike Magazine's staple test riders, so he still gets to spend plenty of time in the saddle of a motocross bike. Jared joins us on this week's 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast for a super-enjoyable chat!

The sport received some massive news over the weekend regarding 450 Supercross Championship contender Jett Lawrence and an injury he suffered on Friday, during a practice crash. Alex Ray and Chase Curtis discuss Jett's injury, how it changes things for his championship rivals, some late silly-season news, and more on this week's Kickstart Podcast!

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee The last race at the last stop of the entire FIM WSX World Supercross Championship provided some excellent racing last weekend, as Joey Savatgy and Jason Anderson traded numerous passes for the lead and ultimately, the 2025 WSX World Championship, with El Hombre prevailing and earning his first World Championship title. Shane McElrath, meanwhile, dominated the final stop with a complete sweep of the racing, but ot wasn't enough to keep Max Anstie from stripping him of his number-one plate. We recap all that action, plus the Supermotocross media days last week, and a lot more, in this week's Kickstart Podcast by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co.

Presented by 6D Helmets Jerry Robin has long been a fixture on the pro motocross and Supercross circuit, as one of the sport's most prominent privateer racers. His life took a drastic turn on April 19th, though, when he crashed during practice at the East Rutherford Supercross and suffered paralyzing injuries. Through it all, Robin has approached his recovery, therapy, and new life path with the same intensity that brought him success on the racetrack, and only eight months post-injury, he seems to have his new life pretty well figured out. Last week, Robin started a job with his sponsor, FXR Racing, the Canadian MX apparel brand that has made huge strides in American motocross. We caught up with Jerry this afternoon for a super enjoyable conversation.

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!
