    CHAPTER 402 Ft. Olly Stone

    2026/05/24 | 3h 14 mins.
    Olly Stone grew up in Europe obsessing over motocross mechanics — not riding, wrenching. He taught himself on two-strokes, polished his spokes at 3am watching GPs from Japan and Australia, and eventually earned his way to America. Pro Circuit. Justin Barcia. Austin Faulkner. Then team principal of the Troy Lee Designs GasGas program — until KTM pulled the budget overnight and ten years of work disappeared with a phone call.

    Now he's back. New team. New facility. And it's moving faster than even he expected.

    In Chapter 402, Olly breaks down what it actually takes to survive as a European mechanic in American moto, what made Mitch Payton's Pro Circuit the standard for everyone else, the brutal reality of how factory programs end, and the new program he's building from scratch — including a shop in Corona and a riding facility in Florida that's already turning heads.

    CHAPTER 401 Ft. Adam Entiknap

    2026/05/09 | 3h 53 mins.
    Adam Entiknap — Seven Deuce Deuce — is back for an emergency podcast just days before the Salt Lake City Supercross finale, the tightest 450 championship race in the sport's history. In Chapter 401 of Gypsy Tales, Adam and Jase break down the Ken Roczen vs. Hunter Lawrence title fight, why one rider's machine and the other's mental will tip the scales, the Mickey Thompson story that built modern Supercross, panic attacks and vagal nerve damage from Adam's racing days, the privateer debate, helmet comms, the SMX Next problem, and the moment Adam decided he wanted to keep his soul instead of chase the money.

    In Chapter 401, Adam Entiknap covers:
    - Who he's putting a million dollars on for the 2026 Supercross championship
    - Why Honda's altitude resources tip Denver in Roczen's favor
    - The will-and-want game: Roczen's resilience vs. Hunter's pressure breaks
    - Hunter's brain-fart pass on Roczen and the kick that toasted it
    - Why Sexton's San Diego move on Cooper Webb was completely legal
    - The lead-in lights debacle that ended Caden's podium and Pelletier's I-don't-know defense
    - Why helmet comms would fix the sport's enforcement nightmare
    - The 1972 LA Coliseum first Supercross — Mickey Thompson, Mike Goodwin, and the murders that followed
    - Why Ryan Dungey is built different and Haiden Deegan has cat eyes mid-air
    - Roczen the genetic freak — Castillo's burgers and 26-mud-laps four seconds faster than anyone
    - The Indianapolis comeback and why Roczen earned a Purple Heart on a motorcycle
    - Adam's vagal nerve damage in Orlando and the panic attacks that ended his career
    - Reframing anxiety as excitement — the twin-brothers thought experiment
    - Adam's Lompoc roots — fence company family, 3am Glen Helen mornings, beating the beginner class
    - Why every privateer deserves a Saturday platform — and why some don't deserve to be racing the elite
    - The 60-entry cap, the Friday qualifier idea, and a real fix for SMX Next
    - Bike sound limits, electric Supercross by 2030, and Mitch Payton chasing decibel madness
    - Why Tristan Lane is the next privateer-to-main-event-guy if someone funds him
    - Soul vs. speed — Clavicular's Icarus story and why Jase chose the slow build

    Tom opens up about fear, risk, recovery, and what it truly takes to compete at events like Rampage and the X Games. This is a raw conversation about resilience, longevity, and the mindset needed to survive—and thrive—on the edge.

    CHAPTER 399 Ft. Jerry Robin

    2026/05/04 | 2h 58 mins.
    Jerry Robin was paralyzed six days after his first Gypsy Tales episode dropped. One year later, he's back — breaking down the physics of his crash at MetLife Stadium, the moment sensation deleted from his body inch by inch, what it was actually like in rehab, the suicidal thoughts he doesn't hide from, and how two rounds of experimental stem cell treatment are rewriting what doctors said was a complete spinal cord injury.

    Jerry Robin is a professional supercross racer and FXR athlete who competed in the 450 SX class. He suffered a complete thoracic spinal cord injury at Supercross in New York in April 2025 and has spent the year since undergoing stem cell treatment, rebuilding his life, and joining FXR full-time in a remote role.

    In Chapter 399, Jerry Robin reveals:
    - The exact mechanics of his crash — why going straight up instead of forward changed everything
    - The moment his body shut down, sensation deleting from his chest to his feet in real time
    - Suicidal thoughts in early rehab, and the wife who drove 1 hour 20 minutes to Casa Kalina nearly every day to save his life
    - Two rounds of stem cell treatment — what they gave back, including diaphragm function that nearly killed him when a blood clot released during his first meal after surgery
    - Why he left rehab early and chose to learn by making real mistakes at home
    - Standing 20–30 minutes a day on a Smith machine with eyes closed, visualizing every step of walking
    - Adler Caudle, Road 2 Recovery, and the people who showed up when it counted
    - His new remote role at FXR managing amateur teams and accounts
    - The privateer debate — Josh Greco spent $60K in entry fees to make 3 mains, and what that tells you about the sport
    - 450 Supercross Championship predictions — Lawrence, Hunter, or Eli?
