The 2025 Motocross of Nations did not disappoint! Team USA put on an incredible performance with their backup lineup, and we finally got to see the Coenen brothers’ raw speed go head-to-head against the Americans. There were standout rides across the board — Jo Shimoda repped Team Japan beautifully, while Tim Gajser and Team Slovenia scored their best-ever MXON finish! Team France crushed it once again with another podium, and the Lawrence brothers alongside Kyle Webster led Team Australia to back-to-back MXON victories! In this chapter of the podcast, we break down all the chaos — the crashes, track conditions, new rivalries, and the biggest storylines from the weekend. Tune in and join the debate 👇

The Gypsy Tales crew is back! Join us as we break down the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs from the Gold Coast. We give a bit of insight as to where we have been and why we weren't on the ground for the SMX Playoffs.

In this episode:

• SMX Championship recap - Why the format needs work

• Haiden Deegan vs Jo Shimoda

• Jett Lawrence's dominant 450SMX performance

• Hunter Lawrence's playoff push

• Why St. Louis was the best track of SMX 2024

• Charlotte's sketchy drag strip setup issues

• The problem with triple points scoring

• Chase Sexton crash

• Listener audio notes from the Gypsy Gang

We discuss the confusing Olympic-style scoring system, and why riders struggle with bike setup at drag strip venues and of course we had to give our take on the Deegan situation. Plus, hear our take on why St. Louis proved you don't need gnarly rhythm sections for great racing.

After a break for Cape York adventures, we're back with fresh perspectives on what worked and what didn't in SMX 2024. Should SuperMotocross move away from drag strips? Is the triple points system broken? We dive deep into all the controversial topics.

Trey Canard returns for another chapter of Gypsy Tales. This time, we dig into untold details from Trey’s racing career, including what the money was really like during his era in the sport. He also opens up about his role at Honda—testing on both the production side and the racing side of development—and shares what it’s like working closely with the Lawrence brothers. We cover hot topics in the current moto scene too, from Jorge Prado’s struggles transitioning to America, to Haiden Deegan’s move into the 450 class in 2026 and what that might look like. As a bonus, Trey gives insight into Honda’s prototype CRF450R and Honda’s commitment to building the best bike possible.

Garrett Marchbanks joins us for Chapter 376! His journey through the sport has been nothing short of crazy — legit a movie. The rise, the fall, and the comeback. From earning a ride with Mitch Payton and the Pro Circuit Kawasaki team early in his career, winning Daytona Supercross, losing that ride, grinding to rebuild, becoming a top-10 450 rider, and eventually earning back his spot with Pro Circuit — performing so well he was offered a contract extension. Garrett’s story is one of grit, setbacks, and perseverance. This is an episode you don’t want to miss. It’s a must-listen.

Cameron Steele joins us for Chapter 375! Cam has lived every facet of the action sports life — from growing up watching his dad race trucks, to racing motocross in his youth, freeriding, and riding in the early days of Freestyle Motocross. He went on to land a commentating gig, building an incredible career in action sports, from calling some of the biggest X Games moments — like Travis Pastrana’s double backflip — to becoming a voice on ESPN and covering legendary off-road events like the Baja 1000. But Cam hasn’t just commentated at Baja — he’s raced it numerous times on both two and four wheels, and still competes today in his truck, racing through the deserts of Mexico. What makes Cameron stand out is how he carries himself and gives back, channeling the positive energy from off-road racing into sharing the stoke with others, supporting communities, and helping those less fortunate.

Cam is a stand-up guy, and we’re stoked to finally have him on the podcast — this one was a long time coming.
