    CHAPTER 399 Ft. Jerry Robin

    04/05/2026 | 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?

    CHAPTER 398 Ft. Tom Vansteenbergen

    04/05/2026 | 2h 51 mins.
    In this Chapter of Gypsy Tales, we sit down with Tom Van Steenbergen to talk about the reality of riding at the highest level—from leaving Red Bull Rampage in an ambulance to coming back stronger, chasing world records, and redefining what’s possible in action sports.
    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 397 Ft. Jade Dungey

    13/04/2026 | 3h 38 mins.
    Jade Dungey is one of the most elite supercross mechanics in the paddock — and the man Red Bull KTM trusted with Eli Tomac's factory bike. In this chapter, he breaks down the inside story of Eli's shock move to KTM, how picky Eli really is on bike setup, how expensive a factory 450 actually is, why Chase Sexton walked away from the team, and the moment his brother Ryan Dungey made the decision that changed the brand forever.

    Jade Dungey is Ryan Dungey's older brother, a championship-winning supercross mechanic, and now Eli Tomac's wrench at Red Bull KTM. He's been inside the factory for the biggest shifts in the sport — from Ryan's KTM era to Eli's arrival — and has a rare view of what really happens behind the pit wall.

    In Chapter 397, Jade Dungey reveals:
    - Finding out Eli Tomac was joining KTM
    - What it actually takes to prep a factory bike for Eli vs. Aaron Plessinger
    - How expensive a factory dirt bike really is
    - Eli Tomac going through clutches and why KTM gave him a cable clutch
    - Why Chase Sexton walked away from KTM
    - Did Eli Tomac save KTM — and the moment the brand almost closed its doors
    - Ryan Dungey's crazy decision to join KTM and why Roger DeCoster gave him the chance
    - Whether supercross is turning into Formula 1
    - How Jett Lawrence is breaking the mold and how Haiden Deegan will transition to the 450 class
    - Jade's first mechanic gig, brotherly fights with Ryan, and winning Detroit with Aaron Plessinger

    CHAPTER 396 Ft. Jackson Goldstone

    13/04/2026 | 2h 27 mins.
    Jackson Goldstone is the UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Champion rewriting the sport at 22 years old. From Squamish, British Columbia — the place built to raise a downhill world champion — Jackson breaks down four straight World Cup wins on his way to the 2025 UCI title, his redemption victory at Red Bull Hardline 2025, the rivalry with Loic Bruni, and why his flow-state riding style is forcing every team on the circuit to adapt.

    Jackson's style is changing downhill MTB. Every rival team is filming him to see what lines he's on and what he's doing different. This is a conversation about raw speed, mental pressure at the top, the first 48 hours after a career-shaping crash, and what's next for one of the most dominant athletes on two wheels.

    In Chapter 396, Jackson Goldstone reveals:
    - Winning four World Cup rounds in a row on the way to the 2025 UCI World Championship
    - The full redemption story at Red Bull Hardline 2025
    - The first 48 hours after his 2024 Hardline crash
    - Why he refuses to run electronic suspension
    - Racing Loic Bruni at Andorra 2025
    - His lifelong moto background and how it shaped his riding
    - Running a balance bike to kindergarten in Squamish, and how that path led to Santa Cruz Syndicate
    - Why downhill MTB is entering its prime era
