Johnny Hopper joins us in studio once again, and this time we dive into some controversy. At the post-race press conference after Round 4 at High Point, Johnny asked Aaron Plessinger a question about Eli Tomac’s potential switch to KTM — a moment that sparked backlash across the industry. Some loved the question, others hated it, and we break it all down, including Steve Matthes’ reaction.We also discuss whether Supercross should start a feeder series, if scoop tires should be regulated, whether Jorge Prado can figure out the Kawasaki, and how Chase Sexton might adjust to that platform if he makes the switch. This one’s full of drama — don’t miss it!

CHAPTER 366 Ft. Hunter Lawrence
Hunter Lawrence joins us in the studio for Chapter 366! His journey in the sport has been nothing short of relentless. Few truly understand the struggle and sacrifice the Lawrence family went through to become one of the most respected names in motocross. Hunter carried the weight of his family’s future on his shoulders, knowing that his performance could create the opportunities needed to change their lives—and to help Jett get to where he is today. He embraced the big brother role with the mindset of a champion, and it paid off. Now a 250 Supercross and Outdoor Champion, and a key part of Team Australia’s historic first-ever Motocross of Nations victory, Hunter's story is one of grit, loyalty, and drive. This chapter dives deep into the journey that shaped both him and the Lawrence legacy.🥾 Get $10 Off @BRUNT with code GYPSYGANG at https://bruntworkwear.com/GYPSYGANG! #bruntpod💧 Order SOTA Fuel “Gypsy Juice” https://sotafuel.com/products/sota-fuel-hydration-30-pack?variant=42103959945258🧃 DRINK AG1: http://www.drinkag1.com/gypsytales🛒 Shop Gypsy Tales merch: https://us.gypsy-tales.shop/ 🎙 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsBG… 📸 FOLLOW GYPSY TALES ON INSTAGRAM: @gypsytalespodcast 00:00:00 Intro00:02:51 Early days in Australia00:14:17 How Jett and Hunter Train00:15:39 Hunter's Amateur Days00:21:34 Getting the offer to go to Europe00:45:23 The high risk of racing Dirt Bikes00:50:07 What are the benefits of a rider racing in Europe00:58:00 Accomplishments racing in Europe01:14:42 Hunter's car collection01:38:50 Daniel Ricciardo's love for MOTO01:47:41 The Lawrence brothers dealing with drama01:55:12 Hunter's big move to America02:01:40 Darren Lawrence02:14:48 Hunters fighting background02:26:55 Hunter's break out ride02:42:09 How Hunter and Jett maintain their relationship02:45:02 Self Development02:47:28 Hunter Supercross Title02:51:09 What's Jett really like?02:56:46 The role of being Big Brother03:01:57 Winning MXON for team Australia03:07:00 AUS X Open03:12:31 What's next for Hunter Lawrence#podcast #motocross #supercross #gypsytalesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
