- Stankdog is one of the rare riders on the professional Motocross and Supercross that is more concerned with protecting his stoke and love of riding a motorcycle, over the results he gets as a pro. He has seen too many of his
//
Gared Steinke races f*cking dirtbikes... 2-Stroke dirt bikes to be exact. He is a cult figure in motocross and one of the most universally loved guys on two wheels. I have always wanted to have Gared on the podcast and I am pumped we were able to make it happen. If you don't want to rip a 125 after listening to this podcast we can't be friends.

best times on a dirtbike was when you were riding a 80. didnt matter cr/kx/yz/rm best time in life
I oii I
100% agree :/
100% agree.. 80s were just the most fun
Agreed. I went from a JR 80 to my rm 125. but my friend had an SX 85. My god that thing ripped so hard.
2000 kx 80 still have it just rebuilt forks and carb and she’s running again 🤘🏽🤌🏽
Probably the best mx interview I've ever heard. So real, so down to earth. Thank you Stankdog. Respect!
🤙🏼👊🏻
Stink dog you are a legend. I lost my leg racing motocross. I just bought a 1997 warrior ATV and went to red Bud this weekend and placed 14th in the nation. The best move is when everyone got stuck in ruts. I whipped it in reverse backed up jumped right in past three people. Yeah I got last place but I still got 14th Pl. because you don’t place if you don’t show up. I showed up just to get last place
That is exactly how we were when we were kids! All we wanted to do was ride! We didn’t have training facilities back in the late 70’s early 80’s. We got home from school, got our friends and went and rode in the hills by our house. We had natural tracks that were made with what terrain was there. No tractors or shovels. We’d go ride and there would be Mike Kiedrowski, Larry Brooks, Mouse McCoy, Willie Surratt, Mercedes Gonzales out there riding. We had so much fun! That was training to us! All we did was ride! And it was fun! Stankdog is the man!
Stank has a killer outlook. Rad to hear it. Like that Hamblin mention., dude was sick, too.
I see that every weekend in any local track, Guys on 450 struggling and getting passed by a 125, Usable power is the key, Steve Lamson won the Desnations on a 125 vs all 500cc field with best riders in the world, Jeff Emig did the same at Lorettas last year, I do the same every weekend, Pro league is something out of our hands, This guy will smoke everyone on a local race, I respect every guy who ride in Supercross or Pro Motocross, A P30 on the nationals is a king on any local track, You need to qualify first, Is not easy at all.
I dropped from a 450 to a 150t and I took seconds off laps instantly
That's the truth. So many local heroes fighting just to line up for a pro main/moto
@Bad Example Stuart vs Reed too JS 7 was on a 125
@@The_coachman_on_tour I had it all and After I test every bike on earth I got back to 2 strokes specially my lovely YZ 125 2019, Im dying they produce the new ktm 150 on 2024, No doubts 4 strokes are easier but aren’t for everyone, Thats why they need double displacement to match a 2 strokes, I feel like im in a Hayabusa on the track with the 4 strokes, I hate the stopping power they produce, Im not getting back to 4 strokes at all, This is why you see a lot of people on 125 in the amateur series, You see a lot of 125 in open classes, Many old guys and lot of youngers too.
@@obiron2099 Exactly
I enjoy Stank Dogs chill and acceptance of what is. It must really give him all the power on the track, being free. People may think he's not giving full effort, but some people perform best when not pushing wide open. Miss my ol pw50, kx80, crf50!!
My first year of racing, I had a 3year old Suzuki PE250. I rode the wheels off it and usually finished in 20 something place with a full gate. Next year I bought a 82 RM250 and ram up front, what a difference a good bike makes!
I love his story, sounds like how I started. My dad brought home a old Z50. My first race in that thing we saw all the real bikes and next day we went down to Abington Va, and got a ktm from Mark Osborne. If it wasn’t for Zach and his dad I would have never got into racing when I was younger.
Stankdog is the man hands down the most chill dude in the moto scene! he makes the sport fun and hes one bad dude on two wheels!
Best advice on the net. 💯
On so many levels,in a world of self comparisons and judgment, be good to yourself and great full.
Run what you brung 🤙🤙
This brings a thought to mind, more moto dads on here! I think their stories would be dope to hear
I'm picturing a crazy 50cc dad who's rich as fuck and really overweight but he gets his cardio from swinging his arm in a circle screaming GO! He's got the best motorhome/hauler with 3 Cobras and his kid is a registered dick head.
The craziest people in the world are 50 parents!
I’m 44 and my son is 14. We have a garage full of bikes. We rip as often as we can. Spent 4 hours in the woods yesterday on his Yamaha 230 and I was on a Ktm 300.
Love the stank dog he is the bomb 💣 for all old school 2 smoker’s. Love it. Dream it. Live it.Send it
Word on the street is this is Matthes favorite podcast episode
One of the best interviews I've Ben rocking with u since day one best podcast ever
1985 kx 80! After the sugarcane fields were harvested we’d have these wide open areas to go rip around in. Felt so free.
I miss my little Cr 80. When they axed the 2strokes I lost interest in watching the pros. Nothing sounds better to me than a mid 90’s 500 2 stroke.
My first year of racing in 1976 on an MR50, I'd come last every race. I fell off at every corner. Flaggers would get ready to catch me, by the end of I was evening lapped by Z50/QA50 4 strokes! By 1979, I won my 1st state title. Hard work, plus I just loved riding my dirtbike. Simple as that. Other Dads pressured their kids etc and told them off if they didn't win or at least top 3 etc. Obviously those kids ended up giving the sport up.
I had the same thing happened to me. My first race was May 9th, 1977 at Oak Hill in Decateur TX it was on a modified 1974 XR 75 with a Bassoni( misspelled) pipe, upgraded carb, and rear suspension in the mini junior class. I was 9 years old. It was so slow I probably got lapped twice, the very next race I was on a brand new Yamaha YZ80 D. I did better but still got waxed. Like you 3 yrs lare I won a State championship in the 100 jr class(15 and under) I had just turned 13 about 2 months before the end of the series, I started it at 12.
My first race was on my 2015 DRZ70, and keep in mind it is just a 50 with a slightly larger engine. I was 8 or 9. They had me practice with the 65s, which had to climb a big sandy hill. My bike didn't make it up so they finally let me race with the 50s, which I did a bit better in
Stank Dog living up to his name with those pits. 😂
Haha my first name was “TTR TONY” shout out to everyone who started on a TTR 125 😂 thanks for keeping it real hahah great podcast 🦾🗣️🗣️🗣️
that makes what js7 did all more impressive he once said if u get passed u should quit years later after being on a 4 stroke for so long
7:17 dude this is how it was for hockey for me. I gave my life to the sport and now at 32 and 3 little boys I don’t even own skates and don’t want my boys to see the ice at all.
Best interview.
This makes me wanna be just like stank dog bro lol love this guy.
The first bike I ever learned to ride on was a 125trr as well. It wasn’t even mine, but I rode it like it was. Lol I miss riding so damn bad. It’s been like 10 years. 💔
Stankdog is my idol such a cool dude
How can you not love this guy! 😀
Its pretty easy actually
My first bike i had more travel in my legs to the seat then the 75 honda XL 125 had in its shocks so i learn to use my legs so when i got on a 90 KX 125 it really made me use my body an legs stand more etc
So STANKIN HUMBLE that guy. ALways been a fan! Nor cal!
Similar experience... my son 7 yr. old first race on a bmx. I bought him a redline chromoly frame with steel cranks and wider tires. He lines up and all the other kids are on jr. minis with skinny slicks and alloy crank sets. needless to say they blew him away. next week we show up with new powerlite jr. mini all aluminum frame alloy cranks alloy forks clip ins and full fox race out fit with troylee helmet. He smoked the field and won the main every week after that. He went from plat 135 to plate 7 on second season. He finished 19th overall at the nationals in a field of 150. his first season. good gear and strong work ethic was the key.
This guy is a badass a legend and I know exactly what he's talking about them old little Jr 50s I believe they had dual shocks as well not exactly the best 50 Race Bike even though the PW50 is back then had dual shocks as well but he's a little younger than me so by the time he was racing as a little kid he's right the Cobras were out and hopped up two stroke 50s like that
Stankdog Rules Period, ride bikes, have fun
Sadly I think that sentiment is (I'm merely assuming) similar to many sports.
For me as an example, being a Canadian who was practically born on a frozen pond, successful playing hockey blah blah blah, I went from 100% to never even watching a game again. It's a shame too because there was a time when I (like Stankdog, this isn't about me) wanted to do NOTHING but ride in the summer or play hockey in the winter 24/7! And then you just stop. Weird shit boys!
Thanks for the content dude! You're wicked as fuck!
Ever want a low budget barley made it underdog interview, would love to share some career stories. Even though it was short lived
Storytime
brings me back to my first race waiting to line up my xr-80 next to cr80s and yz80s (my 4 stroke, their 2 strokes) ended up waiting to line up with the kx65s. I was 9 years old so same age bracket at least lol
lol same here dude i used to race all my buddies on built kx65s with my stock ragged out xr80. finally getting that 2 smoker was life changing haha
@@jayjohnson5016 when i finally got a cr 80 the powerband felt like a rocket ship Haha
Lmao!!! Self esteem issues….. ENGAGE! Lol. I swear those kids have the best time for sure though!
My first race was on an RT 100 against 80s. My dad came from the "no replacement for displacement" days. So he really struggle to understand why I wanted a bike with a smaller engine. That one race was a game changer. A couple weeks later the RT was being traded for a brand new '97 YZ80
My first race bike was a 1980 XR80R, having to battle the 2 stroke YZ, KX etc was no fun.
Good to know I wasn't the only one on way wrong equipment at my 1st race. I was on an xr100 entered schoolboy class (12-17 age) and puttered around. I ended up 10th of 20 because so many kids crashed, and I legit passed one or two
You should get Marc de Reuver on your podcast dude. He has so many interesting stories like this.
4strokes ruined it totally. 2bangas are awesome fun to ride or race. My cousin and I both used to race 07 yz125 in about 2015 C grade, against C,B grade sometimes A. We were only one's on 2strokes, everyone else on new 4strokes. We raced a few times against best in Australia at Noble Falls track for $10000 to winner of A grade 450 race. After we finished our race they said if couple of spots in gates for 10grand. We both went in it. It was funny to see how serious everyone was, getting massages between races, stretching and going over bikes constantly yelling at mechanics or dads if something happened or they don't win. We would be inside my van smashing the billy's back so we would relax and race within ourselves. These day's it sux. Give them all a bong before starting, would stop alot of crashes and bad attitudes. Keep rippin fella's Avagud1
I totally understand doing something so much that you hate it. When I was in high school I was a competition swimmer and I was actually really good. I was a freshman beating seniors. (Not trying to brag). I would train everyday for hours and not have time to hang out with friends. My mother always yelling at me to do more to possibly get a scholarship or go to the Olympics. I ended up hating swimming that I quit. It just wasn’t fun anymore. I wouldn’t go near a pool for the longest time. Now I’m fine with it and hang out in the pool for fun. Im happy I picked up a motocross tho I love it so much and I’m not trying to win practice I’m just going out on the weekends and trying to make good memories with my Moto buddies
Hope they permit 150 2-strokes to make them more competitive
He races a 150!
i remember
racing a klx110 against 65s in a tighter amatuer sx layout, and it happened to rain so it was a muddee and i actually did top 5 out of like 30 kids😂
Gared Steinke what years did you race the Salem Arena Cross? I won the MotoCross North West championship there in 88 and 89.
perspective 👍👍
After riding for a while mx is badass, definitely a lot I won’t be doin on a bike
I watched my lil bro back in 01 win a D13 race at Elizabeth city North Carolina on a jr50 against cobras and ktm. A lot of luck went his way but he still has that 1-1 on the day
All the best riding is spontaneous and goofing off. #playride
Stank dogg is a badass. No other Pro in history rides faster whilst drinking bong water. If stank dogg went to the trailer park he would have every woman going crazy. I want my kid to be like stank
I'm not into 2 strokes, i think their are cool, but i DEFINITELY think Stankdog is the coolest person in 250s
Not into 2 Strokes? This is definitely the month for you.
@@Heretic84 hahaha
So just have fun 👍 😁
I enjoy watching stankdog on the 125 but he is overstating himself if he thinks he has ended a young guns career in 2021 or 2022. At Hangtown he finished 30-27 for 31st overall and all the young guns whose careers he is talking about finished in the top 16. They also didn't finish a lap down.
Pretty certain he knows where he stands. I’d say he is talking about the hundreds, or thousands of up and coming supermini dudes making Loretta’s, and A riders standing on the box vs. local talent, thinking they are about to be making night shows and 40 man gates on the pro level….. then they see how fast a 31st place Pro actually is.
Sad that kids dont realize the 125cc an talent is what makes it go fast...all i ever wanted when i started racing was a big 250 2 smoke as soon as i got it i started missing that pro riders kx 125 that i had...it was dialed on a whole year of nationals an specifically forks tuned fir gainsville out door national
Rode from my house to track in the 80s. Cycleacres Salina ks
I have same story, put my kid out on a crf50 needless to say that next race we had a ktm50
try CZ 125 model 516 for first race bike LOL.....Good memories though
A tt125 that wasn't even a race bike that's a trail bike all day I remember cuz my first bike was the RT 100
The stank breaker
I still just ride get my self hurt but love to ride with others
Hey I love HP ..HP and so aggressive.Best part is your not going to win every race. And there always the next race or next week.I applied it to almost all things I do in life.
Yahh right
My first race bike was a ttr 125 too and I would beat that thing as hard as I could and would only place 5th bc that's all we could afford att
Shoot you think getting passed by a 125 when your on a 250f is bad. I had some team green kid on a supermini blow by me at the practice track one day while I'm on a 250F, now that shit will make you wanna pack up.
Yo it's not dirt biking but I know that feeling so bad. Showed up to a sail boat regatta as a kid with the slowest fucking dog shit ass boat. I didn't even know they made shit as nice as what I showed up too ya know. Like was snagging borrowed wooden equipment and I showed up to kids with multiple boats everything carbon fiber. I was like huh. Still sent it tho
I was that same kid. Lol
Hahahaah 👍🏼😜 love this shit
WORD
Hes not passing any factory riders so he really aint ending anyone's career lmao
Well he has an does multiple top 10s in sx an mx... let's see you in an make a lap on the tracks he rides on a 125 ya goose
Rethink your thoughts
He literally said "up and coming" nothing about factory riders u kook 🤦
@@therealbanksea in what universe
@@23nyte exactly u dummy , no one that relevant to end their "career " . .. I mean who's he passing ? B or c riders at the local squid track?
If that ends their careers, they never had a career racing anyway
If youre beat by this guy you never had a career opportunity racing
This dude barely qualified all supercross season and some races he didn't qualify. He's not ruining anyone's career. The 125 thing is for attention and that's it 🤷♂️
You know how many factory riders didn't qualify all season? 😆
@@rotaryjunkie9502 other then the twisted tea team I can't think of any
@Daniel Jones you got me. So then I really can't think of any
@@mathewpist4 😁
“...you can’t be serious if you’re running that shit..” 😂
250 2 stroke in the 250 class.....period....250fs would all be gone....
They run them in British mx2, it's cool to see and seems to work well
The 250f’s probably wouldn’t be gone. 4 strokes are just objectively better bikes for supercross due to their low end torque plus factory 250f’s are pushing HP numbers that are similar to 250 2 strokes
My Ktm 250f is faster than 250 2 stroke ! I’m pushing 65mph tuned by Twisted Development
Stank just use a cheater motor. Oh yeah, the ones he beats with 250f would want it teched.
Even if he did have a 150 he wouldn't have more power than a 250F. They should allow 150cc IMO. And 300cc 2 stroke against 450cc 4 stroke.
@@jpesicka999 yeah I agree.
He’s literally never passed a factory rider lol he doesn’t really make main events and finishes dead last if he does.
I like steinke but I think that's a little far fetched he isn't even scoring points in motos
Ya maybe if he put the bong down and trained like others do, he'd possibly have a career in a couple years. If not he will fade away and be forgotten.
"Kids career's end cause I pass them on a 125" is a laughable statement. Does he mean after he's been lapped? Dude only made one main event the entire supercross season, i believe... He wasn't even relevant. He's a side show and that's all he'll ever be. He probably only rides a two stroke so that he can have a built in excuse for losing.
Still a better rider than most of the kids in the comments anyway so I believe he doesn’t really give a shit cause he’s doing what he loves and makes a living
You wouldn't stand a chance on a 450 against Stank Dog on a 125, come on bad ass let's see what you got, other than a big mouth...
@@VincentAmbrosioSalad True. I'm glad he can make a living off it, he just shouldn't have to put others down to make himself feel better.
@@dl11c He's retiring this year, said was just about having fun, that's where the 125 comes in, even stopped at my wife's, and I thrift shop, and bought quite a few things, took the time to hang out with us, at Denver SX, and Lakewood, really good guy
@@holeshotinspectionllc2412 hes not retiring. He's quitting. If he was retiring from racing he wouldn't need a job after. Homie hasn't made enough to retire at 30 or whatever age he is so he's quitting
Is stank dog just super faded or awkward as fuck?
He's a gimmick
I agree, if he didn't ride the 2 stroke, nobody would know who he is. The 2 stroke, it's like he barely qualifies, but it's overhyped cause he is on a 2 stroke. Not like he would jump to top 10 (even top 25) if he got on a 4 stroke.
@@eli9494 the 2 strokes just a different beast on the track I have friends who have only ever rode 4 strokes put them on a 125 or a 250 and they can’t even hardly make it around the track however I do agree that he wouldn’t just become amazing either by getting on a 4 stroke just saying that it is impressive that he can ride a 125 so good, compared to a modern 250 four stroke they are underpowered as hell now
@@lukasreagan1715 they are different, but saying people can hardly get around a track on them. I grew up riding 125s. I ride 450s now, but can still ride a 2 stroke. Did a couple KTM demos at redbud, had no problems on the 125 doing most the jumps I usually do. I get if you never rode a 2 stroke before. James Stewart waxed everyone on a 2 stroke 125 against 250fs. But honestly would you know who this dude who barely qualifies for nationals is if he wasn't on a 2 stroke? Probably not. And his poor results, he has a built in excuse riding the 125.
Dude reminds me of kyle rittenhouse.
