Welcome To Moto Mail

Good Morning + Happy Friday y’all!

The series heads west to Denver, Colorado for Round 16 of Monster Energy Supercross. This is a unique round in the way of hosting the PulpMX Yamaha LCQ Challenge on Friday which will be livestreamed on YouTube (Link Below).

The 250SX West series resumes this weekend as Levi Kitchen looks to bounce back after what could of been a championship saving ride in Nashville, closing the points gap to only 2 points behind RJ. Speaking of RJ Hampshire, He will not make it easy for Levi as they both seek their first professional title.

As for the 450’s; Let’s hope Denver treats Jettson better than Tomac last season….

Together With | The Failed Experiment Podcast

THE FAILED EXPERIMENT is a weekly podcast hosted by Southern California based DP/cinematographer, Kyle Cowling, along with a guest.

Each week, in his dining room, Kyle sits down with filmmakers, photographers, musicians, artists, athletes, and individuals from all walks of life to discuss everything from their journey of how they got to where they are today, their goals, accomplishments, failures, mental health, work/life balance and more.

Episode of the week | Ryan Holliday | Team Green Kawasaki

Ryan Holliday is the team manager Team Green Kawasaki. Team Green Kawasaki is the most prestigious amateur support program within the sport of amateur motocross racing. Throughout the decades, Team Green has been responsible for the success of athletes such as Ryan Villopoto, Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, James "Bubba" Stewart, Jeff Emig, David Bailey, and more.

In today's episode, we dive into Holliday's background: growing up in Pittsburgh, PA, wanting to be a photojournalist while working at Racer X in the early 2000s, to how that transitioned into working for the AMA and eventually joining Team Green Kawasaki. For all my moto fans out there, this is a must listen. Holliday shares some wonderful stories about working alongside Mitch Payton, having his eye on the Lawrence brothers, not being able to sign Levi Kitchen several years earlier, and much more.

You can also check us out on Patreon for a bonus episode breaking down the ALL IN episode I shot with Holliday.
