    Colt is the coolest and most humble guy. He gave me a pair of his tech 10s, four pairs of pants, four pairs of gloves, a pair of 100 percent goggles, and a lot of monster stuff last year because mine were ripped and I couldn’t afford to get new gear. Loved watching him win this title and will always be rooting for him through his career!

    The last story of this caliber as far as trying to land on a team was Dungey landing at rockstar Makita Suzuki he followed DeCoster and them around forever trying to get on their team Roger watched him and signed him

    Jade, first off you’re killing it. Keep grinding. This content is awesome.
    Second, this is kind of a wild thought I had and idk if you read these comments... but I think it would be cool if you were able to get yourself booked as a guest on Joe Rogan. You guys already have BJJ in common, and also podcasting. I think he’d really like your story too. Anyone who goes on his show gets a huge spotlight on their cause. I think this could potentially get some eyes on moto, and get more people interested. Our sport needs it. This could also open up the doorway to maybe even getting riders on JRE and expanding awareness that our amazing sport exists and gets more people to love for bikes. Great work and keep it up!!
