CHAPTER 425 Ft. Steward Baylor

Steward Baylor is one of the BIGGEST personalities in GNCC racing, and he's never been afraid to speak his mind! For Gypsy Tales Chapter 425, the GNCC and National Enduro legend sits down with Jase Macalpine for an unfiltered conversation about professional off-road racing, Kawasaki, sponsorships, family, and life beyond racing.After generating an incredible 339 MILLION views on a single Instagram Reel, Steward explains why GNCC and off-road racers struggle to attract major sponsors compared to athletes in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross, despite the massive attention the sport receives. He discusses the business of off-road racing, why GNCC is the true grassroots of motorcycle racing, and what the future holds for the sport.Steward also opens up about becoming a moto dad, the terrifying moment his son Levi broke his femur, and how fatherhood has changed his perspective on racing. Plus, he shares his experience testing Kawasaki's new two-stroke, his thoughts on Chase Sexton and Jorge Prado's struggles at Monster Energy Kawasaki, and where Sexton could end up in 2027!00:00:00 Intro00:03:30 Welcome Steward Baylor to Gypsy Tales00:05:10 Steward's Crazy Fan Base00:08:10 Most Redneck State in America00:12:21 Luxon MX Triple Clamps00:13:22 What Makes GNCC Great00:19:45 Why Brands Aren't Investing in GNCC00:26:00 Learning to Navigate the Industry00:32:04 Knowing EVERY side of the Racing Industry00:38:08 FLEXX HANDLEBARS BY FASST COMPANY00:39:27 339 Million Views on one video!00:51:43 The Reality of being a Moto Dad01:03:21 Racing a Great Athlete01:12:58 What if Aaron Plessinger Stayed in GNCC01:23:36 Malcom Stewart's Fan Base01:26:08 Stew's Love for Hunting01:30:20 Inside The Shoals MX01:37:26 BRUNT WORKWEAR01:39:12 Learning how to run a business01:49:59 Stews Relationship with Kawasaki01:52:59 How becoming a girl dad changed stew01:57:07 Partying at the UCI Downhill World Cup02:05:31 Are OEM's Taking Dirt Bikes in the wrong direction02:10:29 New Kawasaki KX32702:23:07 Chase Sexton and Prado's Trouble's at Kawasaki02:35:32 Sota Fuel02:36:03 Rocky Mountain Red Bear Kawasaki02:39:15 Steward's Life Away from Racing02:52:35 Sota Fuel02:57:42 Closing🔩 LUXON MX Triple Clampshttps://luxonmx.com🤚 FASST Co Flexx Handlebarshttps://fasstco.com🥾 BRUNT WorkwearGet $10 Off at BRUNT with code GYPSYGANG at https://www.bruntworkwear.com/GYPSYGANG #Bruntpod💧 Order SOTA Fuel “Gypsy Juice”https://sotafuel.com/products/sota-fuel-hydration-30-pack?variant=42103959945258Follow the Gypsy himself 👇 Jase Macalpinehttps://www.instagram.com/jasemacalpine/🛒 Shop Gypsy Tales merch: https://gypsytales.com📸 FOLLOW GYPSY TALES ON INSTAGRAM: @gypsytalespodcastListen on Spotify/Apple → https://pod.link/1335551721💼 Business inquiries: [email protected]#Bruntpod #sponsoredSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After YEARS of silence, Blake Baggett FINALLY speaks! Once one of the most respected and talked-about riders in motocross, Blake seemingly disappeared from the sport, leaving fans wondering what REALLY happened to El Chupacabra. Now, six years after his last professional race, Blake sits down with Jase Macalpine for Gypsy Tales Chapter 424 to tell his side of the story, and we finally get some answers!The 2012 Pro Motocross 250 Champion built his reputation on unbelievable speed, legendary late-race charges, and a willingness to push the limits of what was possible on a dirt bike. During his championship-winning season, Blake famously jumped the Freestone wall, sending it further than any other rider, a jump even James Stewart wasn't willing to go for. Then in 2017, after suffering a devastating thumb injury, Blake continued racing with Velcro on his grips just to help him hold on to the handlebars.But despite everything he'd accomplished, Blake's career came to an unexpected end in 2020. Just two weekends after winning a moto, he walked away from professional racing and never lined up again, leaving fans with more questions than answers. For the first time in years, Blake looks back on the moments that defined his career, what really led to his departure from racing, and the life he's built since. From one of motocross's most exciting talents to a completely different life away from the spotlight, El Chupacabra finally tells his story.00:00:00 Intro00:03:27 Welcome Blake Baggett to Gypsy Tales00:06:22 Why Talk Now00:11:24 Making Millions Racing and After Racing00:15:06 The Start of Baggett's Pro Career00:20:00 Blake's Level of Fitness00:22:14 First Pro Contract00:26:50 What Mitch Payton saw in Blake Baggett00:32:10 Pro Circuits Dominance00:36:30 Riding on the Edge00:44:27 James Stewarts Level of Speed00:49:51 James Stewart Riding Style00:59:35 Blake's Relationship with Aldon Baker01:08:03 Blakes Motivation to Win01:10:56 Bonus Money in Supercross01:19:16 Wanting to be the best01:27:44 Building an App01:38:07 Blake Baggett 2012 Freestone Wall Jump01:45:29 The Best Era of Motocross!?01:50:13 Hangtown moto 1 201201:57:28 Blake Baggett's Son02:08:50 Testing Factory KTM parts02:14:24 Passing Eli Tomac at Thunder Valley02:19:06 Blake Baggett Almost Returned to Racing02:21:34 Why Blake Baggett Retired02:35:55 The Day Blake walked away02:50:10 Crushing it in Business03:01:02 Blakes Goals in Business03:07:58 Blake's Financial Goals03:20:09 Making it in Business03:39:58 Closing🔵 Yamaha Motorsportshttps://www.yamahamotorsports.com💧 Order SOTA Fuel “Gypsy Juice”https://sotafuel.com/products/sota-fuel-hydration-30-pack?variant=42103959945258🧤 FIST HANDWEAR:http://www.fisthandwear.comCODE: GYPSYGANG for 15% offSave 25% on Blud Lubricants with code GYPSYhttps://www.bludlubricants.com/collections/barracuda-bludFollow the Gypsy himself 👇 Jase Macalpinehttps://www.instagram.com/jasemacalpine/🛒 Shop Gypsy Tales merch: https://gypsytales.com📸 FOLLOW GYPSY TALES ON INSTAGRAM: @gypsytalespodcastListen on Spotify/Apple → https://pod.link/1335551721💼 Business inquiries: [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam Cianciarulo is back, and this time the conversation is less about racing and more about what comes after it. After retiring in May 2024, AC stepped straight into the broadcasting career he'd dreamed of since he was a kid. Two years later, he's still figuring out who he is without a race result to define him.Adam won 11 amateur national championships before ever lining up as a professional and spent much of his career carrying the expectations that came with it. In Chapter 423, he sits down with Jase Macalpine to discuss growing up without the time to develop an identity outside of racing, the breakdown that forced him to confront it, and his decision to turn down work so he could spend an entire summer with nothing on his schedule.AC OPENS UP ON:◼ Never having had time to develop an identity outside racing◼ The 2021 breakdown with his arm, and why he is grateful it got that bad◼ Turning down the 2025 outdoors so he would have nothing on all summer◼ Winning a Supercross in 2014 with zero confidence, and feeling like an imposter◼ Training so hard as a kid that he stunted his own growth◼ Moving in with Ryan Villopoto, and why RV is the most underrated champion of the era◼ Giving Ken Roczen a 50/50 shot at lining up in 2027◼ What he actually meant about Chase Sexton, and the standard Chase holds himself to◼ Jorge Prado and Jeffrey Herlings at the MXoN, and racing ready to die on a Monday◼ Blake Baggett's life after racing, and the phone call from a construction site00:00:00 Intro00:01:52 Welcome back Adam Cianciarulo00:02:12 Adam's Glow Up00:04:25 The Start of Gypsy Tales00:11:48 Housecall Pro Ad00:12:06 Daniel Blairs Broadcasting Skill00:18:10 Adam's Broadcasting Career00:22:32 The Transition from Pro to Retirement00:30:52 How Social Media Impacts your world view00:36:50 Doing things for the right reason00:42:25 Not needing a lot to be Happy00:49:41 Mentally hitting your limit00:57:34 Sota Fuel Ad01:01:26 Getting Brand Deals01:07:10 Jeffery Herlings VS Jorge Prado01:10:46 Risking your life for 20 years01:17:57 The Rarity of being a Supercross broadcaster01:26:05 Should Adam Return to Racing?01:31:23 Why RC is the GOAT01:39:48 Dealing with online comments01:43:36 Moving in with Ryan Villopoto01:50:30 Adam had no confidence01:56:54 Is Villopoto the Goat?02:01:49 Jett Lawrence02:06:10 Showing how hard Supercross really is02:09:58 Crazy Ryan Villopoto Story02:21:19 Adam wants an adventure ride02:29:36 Positive Interactions with fans02:38:29 Instagram Conspiracy2:51:11 Fist Handwear Ad02:52:25 Blake Baggett is doing the pod!02:58:07 Blake Baggett's Late Moto Charge03:08:03 Chase Sexton03:17:50 Extreme Ownership Jacko Willink03:27:20 Dealing with anxiety03:31:02 The Risk of Racing Supercross03:39:01 Haiden Deegans Rookie Season03:50:17 Lucas Coenen Straight to 450 Supercross03:57:31 ClosingMonster Energy 🟢https://www.monsterenergy.com/en-us/Save 50% off Housecall Pro: https://housecallpro.com/gypsygangFollow the Gypsy himself 👇 Jase Macalpinehttps://www.instagram.com/jasemacalpine/🛒 Shop Gypsy Tales merch: https://gypsytales.com📸 FOLLOW GYPSY TALES ON INSTAGRAM: @gypsytalespodcastListen on Spotify/Apple → https://pod.link/1335551721💼 Business inquiries: [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jase Macalpine sits down with Pernilla Solberg for Chapter 419 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast to tell the story behind one of rally's most influential families. Pernilla never wanted to be the best female driver. She wanted to be the best driver, period. When one competitor told her that if she ever beat him, he'd put his helmet on the shelf, that's exactly what she did. Pernilla raced against the boys in Sweden throughout the late '90s, met Petter Solberg at Rally GB in 1998, and retired at 28 to raise their son Oliver, now a WRC driver in his own right. Today, she runs the Solberg motorsport operation, serves as President of the FIA World Rally Commission, and holds board seats across five family car companies. In this chapter, Pernilla gets into what it takes to run a rally team, why a Rally1 car can now cost $1.5 million with few buyers lining up, how modern PR is stripping motorsport of its biggest personalities, and why a new WRC owner could be days away from being announced. Plus, the sim racer who beat everyone with a Logitech taped to his kitchen table, the Norwegian Prime Minister who wrote Petter a letter about his swearing, and why Pernilla believes YouTube, not TV, has become the biggest engine in motorsport.
