My top 3 wants for the show........ 1a - Kickstart Kenny 1b - Eli 1c - JS7 (only reason I have James 3rd is bc he has a pod and we get to hear from him more often. Eli is like a specs ops ghost lol, he would be a phenomenal get! Love the show Jase! ✌️
Let the man speak pls, as a fan of you and RV especially, I'd like to hear more of what he has to say. Lots of interpretating and speaking your thoughts, some of it is great I'd just like to hear more of your guest. Just some constructive criticism and opinion of a fan, keep doing what you're doing though brother and I love when you're in the press conference 🙏
Never have I loved a rider or athlete like Villopoto. Such an inspiration. When he retired I was so shocked and sad. My all time fav (with Kenny) This podcast was awesome
Thank you Jase for this interview with RV. Great to hear his perspective on his era and the current Motocross / supercross era. Your interviewing skills are top notch Jase, you have a great knowledge base of the sport which allows you to ask the right questions in a way that does not put your guests in a position where they don't want to give you honest answers. Keep up the great work Jase. Cheers from Mike in Melbourne
2:30 Jase, this hit so hard for me. I’m 26 years old and I have lived my teenage and early 20s the exact same way with this anxiety and not wanting to live the way so many people do and prioritizing other things to a detriment unfortunately. And now I’m starting to try to play catch-up and build somewhat of a career and be able to get benefits and retirement and just still struggle working for anyone. I feel like I’ve wasted so many good opportunities and now I’m not gonna have anymore worth going for and it’s scary as fuck dude being a young man in todays age is so stressful people don’t realize even living in America with some of the best opportunities and living conditions in the world it’s still a mental and even physical battle. Some of your interviews where you open up and share your feelings and how you’ve struggled sometimes always just makes me emotional at night because I relate quite often. I’m from Ohio and my dream is to go to Arizona or California with a van, some bikes, and my girlfriend and somehow fund that. I would love to meet you someday man i dont know how many races your going to in the Us or how like You’ll be here but maybe I will see you around, I’m not sure how much fan interaction you have at races you go to but it would Be cool.
Up until Jett came around, i would die on the hill that RV on his best day beats anyone else on their best day in the sports history. Seeing him ride in person was... Surreal. Even when JS and RD were on the same track at the same time, there was just an intensity there no one else at the time had.
As a dungey fan I was happy when he left lmao I’ll back dungey no matter what but villopoto was his kryptonit. I hated villopoto for that reason but now that I’m older and time has passed I can say I miss watching villopoto rip and I’m glad I got to watch him become the legend that he is. If you put Ryan vs Jett my money is on Ryan all day long that guy in my opinion was the only one to match James Stewart as far as raw speed goes but didn’t crash as much as Stewart. Man I miss being a teenager back in the early to mid 2010’s and watching these guys ride.
Killed it dude. I wish you would have brought up him smoking everyone on a 250f at the mxdn! That is such an iconic race I think people forget how good he actually was.
Loved the show! Long Overdue to get RV on. Personally was hoping more details or stories from his experiences over in MXGP before the injury. Still my favorite rider as a fellow Washingtonian.
Thank you, Jase & RV. You covered so many great topics and answered so many of my burning questions. There is nothing better than watching RV on a 250f. Much love and respect to both of you!
RV is a cool dude and was a true bad arse on a dirt bike , probably still is. Cool interview and I'm a huge fan of title 24 as well. Love our sport , tuning in from Aus.🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
yess!!! so glad to finally have this episode. RV is my favorite rider all time and I feel like he doesn't get the recognition that he should for how incredible great he was and for all of his insane accomplishments throughout his career
I got into sx when RV had won his 3rd and I then went back and watched everything I could find and RV’s winning seasons were awesome to watch. Was a shame when he retired. Great interview!
18:53 this is true about what you said about this style staying with Kawi. 2016 was rough for Eli coming to Kawi because they were trying to get him to use Villo's setup cause this is what worked for them in the past so much. It wasn't until 2017 Supercross until they finally gave him what he wanted and got him comfortable.
Another great show Jase. So good to hear RV talking openly about his career and with the benefit of time for him to appreciate what he achieved. To me it didn't seem like he was enjoying his career when he was at his peak. I'm listening to you from NZ so it's also great to hear you're heading this way
RV2 is the 1% of the 1% in his day. I have had the opportunity to watched him live and he is by far the best bloke to put the helmet on. True War Horse!!!!!
Great show! Hearing RV talked about how he didn’t ride for two years after he retired and that defined the “character “ he was to me. I feel bad for him that going to a track became tough, just doing laps. I’m 48 and appreciate experiencing new life moments - I grew up on the track simply different from RV. I love going , I miss it when I haven’t been to one or have not rode. I feel like the sport wore him down. If that’s the case, I’m sorry for my champ
Villopoto was the man, no other rider rode like Ryan, he rode that bike like he was angry, absolutely loved his style. I wish he coulda finished MXGP. That battle he and Cairolli had in Argentina was beautiful.
Jase, I was one of the commenters after the Chad Reed interview, I was not a fan. However you kept getting top notch guests so I came back. You're interviewing has improved and now I am a fan. Keep up the hard work!
I know this a podcast and it's supposed to be "professionally" done, but sometimes we gotta remember that Jase is a mega fan of moto just like us..... I mean dude if I sat down with Reed, JS7, RC, or The 👑 I dunno if I could fo anything other than just look at them and smile like a creepy moron for a min or 2 🤣🤣 Those dudes were f*cking cooler than Batman when I was a kid/teenager lol. Plus Jase gets the best guests and crushes it 99 times out of 100
one of the fastest dirbike riders ever! i am glad i got to witness his career!,i think he should be mentioned alot more during current races,he was such a badass,as all of his competitors at that time,those were some very fun years of racing for the fans!
I will never forget being at his debut race at Broome Tioga and turning to my dad and saying yeah he's gonna be a multi-champ someday. You could just tell he had more tenacity than anyone else on the track from the very start. I love these nostalgic episodes.
Back watching this again just itching for some moto content waiting for that sweet sweet drug they call A1 , just wanted to say it’s crazy how down to earth this clear as day Mount Rushmore of motocross guy is loved his explanation of how all jobs are hard in different ways sitting in an office for 30 years vs riding dirtbikes for 8 years such an interesting way to look at life what a legend I stand by way I said 10 months ago the most underrated legend of all time , also now with philthy and ac retiring Ryan got some serious competition for fastest retired pro but I know he can do it he got that dog in him that don’t go away ever
Hahaha bro. I was deffinately one of the guys hanging shit on you back on the reed interview. My bad. Little did i know your interview style is straight up the best. You bring more out of every guest then anyone else in the game. So i take back my shit talk. Im happy to eat my words, you are the pod master 🏆🏆🏆
man I can relate to the "could have's" "should have's" and the "how come I didn't" etc.......I love these podcasts, so little about moto, but so much about life.
Thanks for sharing this video Ryan Villopoto is one of my favorite riders and I remember watching him since his debut and he also still has the skills and also he has always been so down to earth and super cool on and off the bike #RyanVillopoto #GypsyTales
I'm 33 and I was a chad Reed fan and a dungy fan it's crazy to think vilapodoe is the a og in the sport and a GOAT OF HIS TIME . I remember when his name started popping every week . Your the man Ryan Ps I hated high point to many ups and downs
Your guys comments around 52-54 minutes about the chassis difference when they have more time is legit. My main experience is with gokarts. But years ago (maybe 2001-2002) when we worked with a manufacture, we had an old 1989 chassis we modified in our driveway. Won lots of races with it. Took all the new measurements and the manufacturer built new chassis to the exact specs. We sold them to other racers as we were a dealer. I kept running and winning with the old chassis and guys in other classes won with the new ones. Well, one time I finally got to run a new one and it was WAY different. We ran the same setup but I was like 2-tenths quicker and the feel of the chassis flex was WAY different even though it ultimately drove the same with the same setup. Just felt different and was faster overall. No more or less oversteer/understeer. All chassis flex.
Great episode, glad you were able to get RV on finally! When you're talking 07' MX season, can you talk about and get RV's take on the ass whoopin' he gave to everybody at the 07' Budds Creek MXDN? That was and will be forever engrained in my memory
Awesome chat bro. I would have love to hear about the mini bike battles (60/80s) between him and Josh hill at the local Washington tracks. I think if would be cool for you to have something where fans can summit questions they want to ask your guest. It could give you some good questions. Anyways great interview bro. I already want part two
Yesss the most underrated superstar of all time in my opinion, this is gunna be good , man I wish he woulda switched teams good chance he would won 6 in a row dung could neve3 beat him 1 on 1 , I think this guy training goin hard would still be on the podium today he is only 2 years older then Kenny and barcia maybe maybe he could do it
Yes he was, he was racing against guys that not only could, but did blow some of our current top guys away. He would have perfect seasons against today's field. Look at the lap times from 2013 outdoors and 2023 outdoors. He was eleven seconds a lap faster then Jet, on a bike ten years older...
@mrpotatoheadracing you can not compare lap times from different seasons even at the same track. They're constantly changing layouts and obstacles. Hell the lap times at a track can be a couple seconds different a few weeks apart just based on how the lines develop. RV2 was great. One of the all times. He wouldn't be dominant in this era. Dungey was pretty damn close to him for most his career. He got smoked by the modern riders. Absolutely love Ryan but the new generation is always better than the old.
@seanhaberman Most outdoor tracks don't change much, sometimes not at all. How long have we gad Laraco's leap, and now the Chadapult? Dungey was off the bike for five years, way beyond hisnprime, and he was leading laps and getting top five, maybe even a podium? And Villipoto smoked Dungey back in the day. A Dungey in his prime would be battling up front while an RV would've been battling lappers. RV had a 6 year career in the premier class, and won the title for every series he completed in that class, no one has ever done that I can remember... Supercross tracks however, never the same...
Huge fan here so go easy on me... He didn't race Stew ona kawi-so not in his prime or Chad on blue or yellow-also not his prime... Ur killin it Jase...🤘😎🤘💯🐐
Can’t help but think there’s a sort of riders awakening going on nowadays and it’s solely due to the voices of legends such as RV putting the word out there and letting everyone know what needs to be known, the things riders won’t say. Feel like things are changing in the riders favor
i played out my crusty vhs tapes back in the day. We had a conversion van we took to the races, my bikes in the back and wed sit back there and watch tapes on the tv on our way to the tracks. Crusty 2 was my favorite! id play them so much the vhs tapes would get worn out and you could barely tune em in. mxvm all the fox movies and i always had the latest races recorded from espn2 on tv. those were my hype ups. and always riding with the older dudes thats what shaped me as a rider. i was a couple classes below villy but loretta lynns was all talking about him when i was younger, him and AC.
I am so glad to hear him say. It should have had more fun. I started watching Motorcycle racing regularly when he and Dungey was really going at it. But while I thought they was the best and never looked like they was having any fun. That's way Jason Anderson is my favorite he always seemed to be having fun and being great at racing. 💯✌️🤟🤘
One of the best to ever ride an Mx bike. 15 championships entered as a pro and won 10 of them. 2 ended with injuries, 09 Mx and 10 Sx, 2 rookie championships in 06 Sx and 09 Sx and then Canard beat him in 1 Sx lites title. Pretty much unbeatable when he was healthy! Crazy fast and that style was so good to watch 👌
I'll never forget being in the stadium seeing Villo go down on that triple or whatever the fuck it was in St. Louis. I would of been 8 or 9. Was so tough to watch that happen in person and see him stretchered out. So pumped he's doing well, made me a fan for life that day. If I remembered correctly I ran into Ryan's grandpa with my dad one of the times we went, and he gave me a couple trading cards and loads of stickers I put on my BMX bike at the time.
If you haven’t watched RV’s CBS special, it’s one of the most powerful documentary’s in sports. Dude hated racing and was miserable! So much respect to RV2
Winning 4x Premiere class titles is crazy impressive...... but winning 4x in a row?!?! That's just f*cking INSANE! Even RC with his 137,000 MX/SX titles didnt go 4 in a row 😂, RV and The 👑 only ones to do it! Respect champ ✌️
This is dope! I’ve been waiting for Kenny episode to, I wanna hear about how he recovered from those two huge injuries
Waiting for KR94 and ET3 interviews!
Js7

1a - Kickstart Kenny

1c - JS7 (only reason I have James 3rd is bc he has a pod and we get to hear from him more often. Eli is like a specs ops ghost lol, he would be a phenomenal get! Love the show Jase! ✌️
Mad mike whiddett would be also a great fit.
Watching him destroy all 450s at Budds while on a 250 was a day ill never forget
I was there too! I told my brother, “watch this kid on the 250’s. So sick watching him walk away from the field!
RIP Layton. Kid was a beast.
Watched him at unadilla same shit he was a machine
Let the man speak pls, as a fan of you and RV especially, I'd like to hear more of what he has to say. Lots of interpretating and speaking your thoughts, some of it is great I'd just like to hear more of your guest. Just some constructive criticism and opinion of a fan, keep doing what you're doing though brother and I love when you're in the press conference 🙏
Villo has always been one of my favorite riders, love his personality now, great interview
His story of a champion on TH-cam is so good, eye opening how much pressure it puts on a family to become a champion and be the best. Top rider 👏🏼
Really good
Been waiting years for this! Bravo!
Epic! Hope you enjoy it mate!
Never have I loved a rider or athlete like Villopoto. Such an inspiration. When he retired I was so shocked and sad. My all time fav (with Kenny)
This podcast was awesome
Ryan's qualifying race at MXGP Patagonia is my favorite Ryan V race, he turned the crowd around like it was Rocky 4.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to open TH-cam on the ride home and see this

Be cool.
Grew up idolizing RV, forever my favorite rider. The years of him, Dungey, Reed, Stewart, and others battling it out will never be matched. GOAT
RV has grown on me! Such a cool dude, quite humble and even a bit underrated.
Yeah he was annoying when he rode because he was so good. As a JS7 fan he was fun to hate. Lol
RV is the greatest retired guy ever. Period.
Up until Jett came around, i would die on the hill that RV on his best day beats anyone else on their best day in the sports history.
Seeing him ride in person was... Surreal. Even when JS and RD were on the same track at the same time, there was just an intensity there no one else at the time had.
BEEN WAITING ON THIS ONE BRO!!! RV was my favorite rider growing up and when he retired so early I was fucking devastated man.
As a dungey fan I was happy when he left lmao I’ll back dungey no matter what but villopoto was his kryptonit. I hated villopoto for that reason but now that I’m older and time has passed I can say I miss watching villopoto rip and I’m glad I got to watch him become the legend that he is.

I had the under for jiu jitsu being brought up before the 10 minute mark. Damn…
This is honestly probably your best episode yet. Amazing
Let's go!!!! Your killing it bro! Your the voice of moto and I appreciate what you and your crew are doing.
Killed it dude. I wish you would have brought up him smoking everyone on a 250f at the mxdn! That is such an iconic race I think people forget how good he actually was.
My favourite rider ever. Thanks for the pic at Foxhills champ
Killing it with the guests! Still waiting for James Stewart to show up on here😂
They have a previous relationship, something about a fire in stews house.
Loved the show! Long Overdue to get RV on. Personally was hoping more details or stories from his experiences over in MXGP before the injury. Still my favorite rider as a fellow Washingtonian.
Thank you, Jase & RV. You covered so many great topics and answered so many of my burning questions. There is nothing better than watching RV on a 250f. Much love and respect to both of you!
RV! What a rocket he was! So happy you finally had him on! Keep them coming Jase! 👏🏽👏🏽
I was a dungey fan… but now villo is grown on me and his insight is very cool
Haha yeah it hurt back in the day because he was so damn fast and good. Easier to appreciate his greatness now.
RV is a cool dude and was a true bad arse on a dirt bike , probably still is.
Cool interview and I'm a huge fan of title 24 as well.
Love our sport , tuning in from Aus.🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Awseome episode! Watching it made me realize it would be cool to see Jake get on the pod as well.
yess!!! so glad to finally have this episode. RV is my favorite rider all time and I feel like he doesn't get the recognition that he should for how incredible great he was and for all of his insane accomplishments throughout his career
The documentary of RV2 and Champion story is still one of my favourites to this day.
100 percent
100% anyone new to the sport should have to watch it. It really gets you up to sleep on how damn hard it all is
I got into sx when RV had won his 3rd and I then went back and watched everything I could find and RV’s winning seasons were awesome to watch. Was a shame when he retired. Great interview!
He is always so humble about how Dungey was always second to him.
Poor Dungey lol

I’d love to be poor Dungey. What a career

RV2 is the 1% of the 1% in his day. I have had the opportunity to watched him live and he is by far the best bloke to put the helmet on. True War Horse!!!!!
The worst part about this pod cast is that I’ve always watched it, great pod as always

Ryan still looks up to the truck driver. This guy listens to his elders. Shows what type of guy he is. Wish we jad more years of him
Best pod yet! Thank you 🤙🏽
What a freaking epic conversation.
Sick podcast! Thanks Jase for bringing villopoto on! We need to hear the story of when herlings seen villopoto trying to ride lommel in his mxgp!
Been waiting for this interview! Hell yes
Thanks for sharing this video Ryan Villopoto is one of my favorite riders and I remember watching him since his debut and he also still has the skills and also he has always been so down to earth and super cool on and off the bike #RyanVillopoto #GypsyTales
A true legend in the sport
Lance Smail being mentioned on this podcast… never thought I’d see the day! PNW represent!
I'm 33 and I was a chad Reed fan and a dungy fan it's crazy to think vilapodoe is the a og in the sport and a GOAT OF HIS TIME . I remember when his name started popping every week .
Your the man Ryan
Ps I hated high point to many ups and downs
Been watching week to week since 2011 and villopoto is definitely the most dominant since I’ve been watching
I've always wondered how he can be such a madman on the bike & then be so chill the rest of the time!
Your guys comments around 52-54 minutes about the chassis difference when they have more time is legit. My main experience is with gokarts. But years ago (maybe 2001-2002) when we worked with a manufacture, we had an old 1989 chassis we modified in our driveway. Won lots of races with it. Took all the new measurements and the manufacturer built new chassis to the exact specs. We sold them to other racers as we were a dealer. I kept running and winning with the old chassis and guys in other classes won with the new ones. Well, one time I finally got to run a new one and it was WAY different. We ran the same setup but I was like 2-tenths quicker and the feel of the chassis flex was WAY different even though it ultimately drove the same with the same setup. Just felt different and was faster overall. No more or less oversteer/understeer. All chassis flex.
RV's such a down to earth guy. Legend!
Great episode, glad you were able to get RV on finally! When you're talking 07' MX season, can you talk about and get RV's take on the ass whoopin' he gave to everybody at the 07' Budds Creek MXDN? That was and will be forever engrained in my memory
Awesome chat bro.
I would have love to hear about the mini bike battles (60/80s) between him and Josh hill at the local Washington tracks.
I think if would be cool for you to have something where fans can summit questions they want to ask your guest. It could give you some good questions. Anyways great interview bro. I already want part two
keep it between the mayonnaise and the mustard baby lol. loving the dad sayings in the episode. Great episode guys
Yesss the most underrated superstar of all time in my opinion, this is gunna be good , man I wish he woulda switched teams good chance he would won 6 in a row dung could neve3 beat him 1 on 1 , I think this guy training goin hard would still be on the podium today he is only 2 years older then Kenny and barcia maybe maybe he could do it
He wasn't underrated ten years ago.
Yes he was, he was racing against guys that not only could, but did blow some of our current top guys away. He would have perfect seasons against today's field. Look at the lap times from 2013 outdoors and 2023 outdoors. He was eleven seconds a lap faster then Jet, on a bike ten years older...

Most outdoor tracks don't change much, sometimes not at all. How long have we gad Laraco's leap, and now the Chadapult?
Dungey was off the bike for five years, way beyond hisnprime, and he was leading laps and getting top five, maybe even a podium? And Villipoto smoked Dungey back in the day.

He didn't race Stew ona kawi-so not in his prime or Chad on blue or yellow-also not his prime...
Ur killin it Jase...🤘😎🤘💯🐐
Can’t help but think there’s a sort of riders awakening going on nowadays and it’s solely due to the voices of legends such as RV putting the word out there and letting everyone know what needs to be known, the things riders won’t say. Feel like things are changing in the riders favor
That must have been awesome having Sébastien Tortelli cutting some ruts to prep the track! Interesting little story.
i played out my crusty vhs tapes back in the day. We had a conversion van we took to the races, my bikes in the back and wed sit back there and watch tapes on the tv on our way to the tracks. Crusty 2 was my favorite! id play them so much the vhs tapes would get worn out and you could barely tune em in. mxvm all the fox movies and i always had the latest races recorded from espn2 on tv. those were my hype ups. and always riding with the older dudes thats what shaped me as a rider. i was a couple classes below villy but loretta lynns was all talking about him when i was younger, him and AC.
Absolutely loved this. Can't wait till you guys come and check out NZ. Any chance there will be a meet and greet with you guys while you're in NZ?
I am so glad to hear him say. It should have had more fun. I started watching Motorcycle racing regularly when he and Dungey was really going at it. But while I thought they was the best and never looked like they was having any fun. That's way Jason Anderson is my favorite he always seemed to be having fun and being great at racing. 💯✌️🤟🤘
2 great fking guys right here 👍🏻 great convo
That was bloody brilliant 👏
One of the best to ever ride an Mx bike. 15 championships entered as a pro and won 10 of them. 2 ended with injuries, 09 Mx and 10 Sx, 2 rookie championships in 06 Sx and 09 Sx and then Canard beat him in 1 Sx lites title. Pretty much unbeatable when he was healthy! Crazy fast and that style was so good to watch 👌
I followed this guy from his days in the Canadian nationals to battling townley to catching alessi at glen helen and putting 30sec on him, a phenom
Ryan never raced Canadian nationals.
Banger after banger your killing it
Banger been waiting
Crazy it’s been 10 years of retirement for rv2 no rode a 250f like him man dude was a bad man on a bike
Great interview, hopefully we can talk someday.
I'll never forget being in the stadium seeing Villo go down on that triple or whatever the fuck it was in St. Louis. I would of been 8 or 9. Was so tough to watch that happen in person and see him stretchered out. So pumped he's doing well, made me a fan for life that day. If I remembered correctly I ran into Ryan's grandpa with my dad one of the times we went, and he gave me a couple trading cards and loads of stickers I put on my BMX bike at the time.
Cool episode would love to see dungey on here and talk about his career and retirement.
My favourite rider of all time
RV keeps it 100% love it!!
Now this is one I’ve been waiting for Jase. 🙏🏼🔥
Really great interview
Awesome podcast as always. You should invite AJ Catanzaro again some time🙏🏻
Another huge crowd is Eli at highpoint. Us PA guys fkn love ET3, along with Hammaker. He gets a huge amount of attention also.
If you haven’t watched RV’s CBS special, it’s one of the most powerful documentary’s in sports. Dude hated racing and was miserable! So much respect to RV2
I love Ryan Villopoto! Ya know!?😊😊😊
Good to hear from R.V
Winning 4x Premiere class titles is crazy impressive...... but winning 4x in a row?!?! That's just f*cking INSANE! Even RC with his 137,000 MX/SX titles didnt go 4 in a row 😂, RV and The 👑 only ones to do it! Respect champ ✌️
