The house in Perris wasn’t that ghetto!! It was a house I rented from a friend and we built a track there! Gio and Ronnie Clark stayed there first and I remember Ivan just showed up like a month after they left! We never met until that day! Lol I told them they could stay as long as they wanted and I never asked for and rent!! They hooked me up with gear which I really appreciated!
Pretty cool listening to this as I look at a #9 Red Bull Honda tedesco jersey on my wall in my office! My dad and I still talk about hot sauce to this day!
I know as a older generation guy (60 now), that every generation thinks they lived some golden days, (in this sport in the USA, those were the days from 68 to the 1986 production rule, when a kid could afford a bike. Nothing was more "golden" than that.). But I promise you they get more and more tarnished every generation. So I made up this saying, and it goes back at least 5 generations: "We are all born into the USA of today, not having a clue how great we made her yesterday.". Ask your folks.
Man, that pic from 0:20 is crazy. Ride there every Wednesday during the summers to train on big nasty whoops for desert racing. Always love seeing cool stuff from the guys from the 505 that made it big.
I was at those SRAC races he speaks of. They were epic races. Andrew Short, Jimmy Gaddis, the Tedesco's, the Johnson's, Hanny, Johnny Marley, Paul Lindsey, Josh Kellog, Bobby Fitch, Andy Atkins, Wes Hale.....
I remember watching a young Ivan Tedesco racing SRAC at Island Grove Park in Greeley, Colorado. It was fun to see him get a bad start and carve through the pack.
I grew up in nm, looked up to Ivan and Gio, watched him race for the first time on a 60 and I always knew he was different! Him and gio came to ride with me once, to see him now is pretty cool seeing his passion and accomplishments is awesome! Good podcast Jace! Watched every minute of it !
Jase .... i was the final glen helen national in 05 with alessi and tedesco. And and body that was there knows what im talking about.... but the energy and tention in the air going into the second moto was like nothing ive ever experienced till this day. When alessi took out hot sauce it was like almost in slow motion. You just new if they were close on the track something was going to happen. That will forever be the most dramatic event i have ever been to
Ivan was one of my MX idols growing up. I had a super trick KX65 that had the Pro Circuit Monster graphics from 2005 when both him and GL were running #1 in SX. Such a good era to grow up around.
Halfway through the podcast. the part of pushing negative realities out of the mind. The best pod so far. There needs to be an avenue to talk about the iron mind of moto guys.
Love my time listening to the winners you bless us with . CONSISTENTLY COOL CONTENT. Huge Fan of what Gypsy Tales contributes to the best sport in the world! Thank YOU ALL that make this PODCAST #1
This is cool,I remember Ivan's dad bringing him out to ride in Albuquerque at I-25 and Tramway,we had jumps and whoops,and a bowl area to jump into. This must have been around 91,Ivan was young and I'd see them on the weekends. I miss riding.
listening to this while typing a history of sport paper about supercross, a discussion for another class and another writing assignment which isn’t as long as the history of sport
Thanks for sharing this video with Ivan Tedesco he has always been a super awesome person and a amazing Rider and a Legend I met him a few times and super cool and always took the time for his Fans and would set and talk for a long time and Thanks Ivan for all the great memories and I wish you the best always bud #GypsyTales #IvanTedesco HOT SAUCE
Hell yea bro. This is one podcast I'm looking very forward to... thank you for doing this and what you do... I love all your content brother. Haven't heard from good ol tedesco for a while now besides bring a test rider. Ivan's peak years were definitely park of my racing career and watching the 4 stroke eveolution
I can remember getting his John handcock one day at lakewood in I believe 09. I asked him if he was gonna win today half joking, he said idk I can't predict the future. Then he went 1 1 for the day. Blew everyone's mind. I'm pretty sure I watched him wax everyone on a rm 125 at a SRAC SX In greeley colorado back in like 2000. Guy from N.M. beat everyone that night in both classes on his RM 125. It was nuts. I swear it had to be him... maybe it was his brother. I wish I remember the name or could look up the results. Hot sauce is a bad dude and breaks back a ton of good memories
Why do people think it sucks to be on a diet that makes you healthy and feel better? It sucks to eat whatever you want a feel crappy. What is important - Feeling good or being free and feeling crappy? Great interview!!
I live no more than 3 miles away from gatorback (Gainesville track) it’s not even in Gainesville but that’s the main city by it. But it not open at all they only have mini os and they do a winter am series in January-March but other than that the track just sits and it hurts me so much. It’s such a good track
Hot Sauce!!!! I have seen him at the MXofN at Donnington. Hopefully, I get to meet the legends at Arlington. I/we flew in Thursday from the UK. I can see you fine folks in the UK need to sue your schools too. Same here in the USA. It is a damn shame But, welcome to the USA sir and crew. Watch out for illegal aliens crossing the road. Do not stop!
@@EarthSurferUSA didn't know you was the grammar police . Have you got a passport .it's lovely to travel to world, unlike most Americans who live in the goldfish bowl of the USA .
I have a feeling hot sauce and I have the same grandfather 😂. We look very alike and the grandfather I never met had kids all over the country and is 100% Italian lol
Love your podcast man. You ask excellent questions and it's fun and engaging. One piece of constructive criticism; try to use the word "like" less if at all and if possible try not to drop f bombs so much . I'd love to have my kids listen in with me but can't 😂 due to swearing. Still, really enjoy the content and interviews. Very well executed.
His family had a dodge viper and a nice motorhome to go to the races. They had money he and his brother would always get mew bikes. He had friends in the lower class of the city and him and his brother would hangout.. but go home before the sun went dowm.. also new mexico has no ghettos..
Talking about red heads around min 51: The motivation for RC was different than just about any other racer. RC was a short, fat, freckled red head ginger,--and they all got picked on in public school. But when RC started winning amateur championship, the bullying stopped. On the whiskey show, RC said "I was terrified to lose. Scared to death". That is when I figured it out. JH public school bullying motivated RC to be the GOAT. What do you think of them apples teacher!!? :)
Modifying bikes now days is definitely overrated. My view has always been that if the factory’s engineers, which have unlimited resources, could improve the bike, reliably and not cost prohibitive they would. If you increase peak HP you likely will sacrifice torque and/or ridability. Sometimes people take all of the r & d the factory puts into a bike and throw it out of the window.
He did not come from a ghetto and he did not reach the top of the sport. Is "exaggeration" your middle name? All respect to Ivan, sans doing a interview with you. All MX channels suck today. I am glad to see "rotomoto" finally got rid of his Star Wars toys for his show backdrop though. My goodness.
@@chasincreationz9364 I must have been in a bad mood when I posted that. Looks harsh, and I don't remember where it came from. I apologize, (most of the media today is not up to par though IMO.). Well, the 250 class, (like the 125 class for its last decade or so), is suppose to be the newcomer class, with the 450 (like the 250 and 500 2-strokes) is the premier class. But I think that should be changed back now with 2 4-stroke classes that are about the same speed. It used to be the riders and the factories choose what class they wanted to run, (125, 250 or 500). But the talent got thin in a class around the mid 80's, so they made the 125 the "support class", (as the 250 class is still, pretty much). Since they are both posting the same lap times pretty much, and the talent won't get thin with 2 classes to choose from, I say the riders and factories should get the right back to race either class, with any rider. The only hitch is the East/West 250 SX series with a split series. I still like that, especially today with less riders participating (used to be double trying to make the main, 4 heat races for over 80 guys each class), are double that are making main events and getting experience,-------------------before, (here is comes), they graduate to the 450 class. Maybe the 450 class could be a split series also, also allowing double the riders to make mains, and have a 3 race series race off for the national championship (top 10 guys from each coast), at the end of the series. How do you like that thinking? :) Doug in Michigan
When it comes to arenacross it’s just way too small for the fans. Even Supercross indoors is just to small and fans want to see these bikes going fast and the indoors just shuts all that down so that’s part of the issue with arenacross
I can tell you are newer to the sport than I am, and probably only know the 4-stroke racing. I started as a kid in the mid 70's with affordable 2-strokes, (60 now). I also bet you never raced, because the injuries sure have gone up a lot with the faster 4-strokes that were forced on the industry by the EPA. IMO, the problem is not that the tracks are too small for the 30% faster machines (lap times), it is that the machines have gotten too fast. Riders are dying on the track fairly often today, and that used to be very very rare. It is another example of government intervention in our industries, and making them dysfunctional. Nothing else in the history of the industry has made the sport suffer more than that intervention.
@@EarthSurferUSA Not sure who you’re talking to but if it’s me then I am 57 and started riding bikes at 14. I’ve raced all size bikes and quit when I was 22. Anyway I read what you wrote and I agree and the only race bike is a 2 stroke. I do own 4 bikes and one is a 4 stroke which I use just to ride casual. Not sure what part made you think I’m new to the sport but Hannah was my hero along with Johnson then McGrath.
Don’t bother listening to these podcasts when working. Only podcast with More commercials than content. 👎🏻….annnnd the ads have literally stopped since I wrote this?……technology, go figure? 🤔
I went to quite a few pro races in Michigan when James was riding 125 and 250, and I never heard any racist comments,--ever. We did not have any problem with JMB either. We admired anybody with great talent like those guys had/have. Now I am sure there are racist idiot individuals who said something about James. But maybe you guys should not hang out with those losers. Must be fans who did not race. If we raced/rode,---we had a mutual interest back then still, and neither race or sex mattered in this sport based on the individual. I have to say shame on you, for painting more people than probably reality, in a poor light. If I hear racist crap,---I am going to say something about it. I never had to in Michigan.
To add, The #1 thing to say to a racist is: "Neither the sex or the color of the skin dictates the thoughts of the mind. Only the individuals mind does that." (Aheeem. And propaganda does that unfortunately for too many also.)
You have been bringing us some banger bro! Thanks for the pod, it makes the work day manageable. Cheers 🍻 from Tennessee
Tennessee gang 😈
The house in Perris wasn’t that ghetto!! It was a house I rented from a friend and we built a track there! Gio and Ronnie Clark stayed there first and I remember Ivan just showed up like a month after they left! We never met until that day! Lol I told them they could stay as long as they wanted and I never asked for and rent!! They hooked me up with gear which I really appreciated!
Pretty cool listening to this as I look at a #9 Red Bull Honda tedesco jersey on my wall in my office! My dad and I still talk about hot sauce to this day!
OGs know this a huge pod. legend back in the day when i was a kid
I agree that “HOT SAUCES” era and a few years after were the golden years for me
I know as a older generation guy (60 now), that every generation thinks they lived some golden days, (in this sport in the USA, those were the days from 68 to the 1986 production rule, when a kid could afford a bike. Nothing was more "golden" than that.). But I promise you they get more and more tarnished every generation. So I made up this saying, and it goes back at least 5 generations: "We are all born into the USA of today, not having a clue how great we made her yesterday.".
Ask your folks.
Yes. RC, JS7, CR22, MC, TP199, Hot Sauce, Langston, Millsaps, Kdub, and even guys like Dunge and Villo were at the tail end of Hot Sauces career.
Man, that pic from 0:20 is crazy. Ride there every Wednesday during the summers to train on big nasty whoops for desert racing. Always love seeing cool stuff from the guys from the 505 that made it big.
I was at those SRAC races he speaks of. They were epic races. Andrew Short, Jimmy Gaddis, the Tedesco's, the Johnson's, Hanny, Johnny Marley, Paul Lindsey, Josh Kellog, Bobby Fitch, Andy Atkins, Wes Hale.....
I remember watching a young Ivan Tedesco racing SRAC at Island Grove Park in Greeley, Colorado. It was fun to see him get a bad start and carve through the pack.
@keithhill7656 wasn't it Ivan that made a pass for the lead right before the triple, then pulls a heel clicker over the triple? 🤣
I grew up in nm, looked up to Ivan and Gio, watched him race for the first time on a 60 and I always knew he was different! Him and gio came to ride with me once, to see him now is pretty cool seeing his passion and accomplishments is awesome! Good podcast Jace! Watched every minute of it !
Random question, but are you from Santa Fe?
Jase .... i was the final glen helen national in 05 with alessi and tedesco. And and body that was there knows what im talking about.... but the energy and tention in the air going into the second moto was like nothing ive ever experienced till this day. When alessi took out hot sauce it was like almost in slow motion. You just new if they were close on the track something was going to happen. That will forever be the most dramatic event i have ever been to
Ivan was one of my MX idols growing up. I had a super trick KX65 that had the Pro Circuit Monster graphics from 2005 when both him and GL were running #1 in SX. Such a good era to grow up around.
Mad respect for Jase and Gypsy Tales. What a cool job. Talking to the most relevant of the sport.
Big thanks from Canada for the content! Such a shame racing isn’t on tv anymore.
Halfway through the podcast. the part of pushing negative realities out of the mind. The best pod so far. There needs to be an avenue to talk about the iron mind of moto guys.
My first time ever going to watch a SX in person was at Indianapolis, the year IT9 got sucked into another riders swing arm off the start GRARLY!
Tedesco and the Johnsons Bobby J’s boys were so fast at the Roswell track and moriarty. Even arenacross I remember them just sending it.. Legends
One of my most favorite riders, this is awesome!
Thank you for bringing this chill vibe convos with our top stars. Nothing else like it.
Thank you for all your hard work gypse. We need these
Thank you guys! You make my day. It's very interesting to hear stories from the inside. One of the best interviews!

Hot sauce was/is underrated as a rider
Only before he got pretty fast. lol

But it not open at all they only have mini os and they do a winter am series in January-March but other than that the track just sits and it hurts me so much. It’s such a good track
Just can't take listening to this guy's voice for more than 10 minutes.

Had that red THOR jersey on the thumbnail too….make gear great again!!
Oh fuck yeah, got us another gypsy pod baby! Sup Jace!
Watch some podcasts of Mitch talking about the beginning of the 4 stroke days. He has some good stories.

Mav tv ..arena cross series has been epic this season ….
Damn. Wonder where his spot in Texas was
C’mon Gypsy. There is a very clear defined list of teams that have a prepared podium speech engrained in their rider’s minds. This is a fact.
Good pod but I demand you do a new ag1 ad you still training for world vets it's almost march 2024 dude

Tell AG1 to drop that ridiculous price not worth the money for what you get
i wish all the people sponsored by them had discount codes instead of add ons, i know healthy stuff can be expensive but ag1 is too expensive
