    Best interview I’ve seen with Tomac. Good job Don!

  •  หลายเดือนก่อน +27

    Thanks. The best Tomac interview, ever. It was great hearing Eli open up a little bit about his family and interests outside of racing. Especially knowing how much he values his private life. This is the first time I happened to see your channel, but it certainly won't be the last. Go Eli! Have a great year. Or two or three more.

    Don awesome pro level interview! Dido from the other comments regarding this being arguably the best Eli interview I've ever seen. I've been a huge ET3 fan from the beginning. My roots go back to the late 80s riding in the back of a pickup with John and Greg Herbold for Mammoth Mtn dual slalom. So stoked for Eli's current state of mind and fittness, anxious to see this '25 SX season!!

    My funny Eli story or at least I think it’s funny. I was headed out to pre-ride the cactus cup course in North Scottsdale a few years ago. Shortly after I hit the trail, I come upon these two people walking and the guy has a baby strapped to his chest. As I rode by I thought the guy looked familiar, but just figured somebody I’ve seen or known in all my years of racing and living in Arizona, but I rode by about 15 feet, stopped and looked back and said who is that… and he responded…Who is that, I said Rob Naughton…. And he said Eli. And of course then obviously I knew who it was. So instead of wasting one minute of his life telling him how awesome he is, which he already knows because he’s living it and everybody already tells him.
    I wasted 5 to 10 minutes of his life (5-10 minutes he will never get back), telling him how awesome I almost was. How I spent most of the 90’s getting my a$$ kicked by his dad. Because how would he know if I didn’t tell him? He wouldn’t. 😂 But as I rode away, I kind of laughed at myself…did I really just waste five minutes of that dude’s life educating him on how awesome I almost was. 😂

      @RobNaughton54 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ I’m guessing he walked away, shaking his head, thinking another old has been burnt out racer who used to race against my dad. 😂
      He was a good sport though, and a genuinely nice guy. It’s amazing though, how much more his personality has come out since going to Yamaha and having more fun. He’s enjoyable to watch and listen too.

      @MartinezHQ หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ I remember that not long ago. It was great to hear Phil get Tomac to relax a little and laugh. I thought this was going to be over 2 hours. That would’ve been crazy. I think Swap just upload some blank video or something by accident. Didn’t actually turn out to be as long form as I thought. But still very great interview. I live just 30 minutes from Tomac. Watched him race his whole life. Amazing to see his accomplishments.

      i totally agree, my first time watching supercross and highlights of mx was 2022, my first race as a fan was the last round when he won the championship and that was awesome
      2022 Moto 2 at millville is the only race i’ve watched at least 5 times.
      When he tore his achilles in denver, that broke my heart, i will forever respect Coker for telling us his injury that soon. I cried for a good 5-10 minutes after i found out what happened.

    Eli you are looking good man. If you do the big sections and take the risks this year you will win. Jett will absolutely hit the big quads and sketchy sections and if you risk it you will beat him. My favorite race last year was you hitting that wall jump into the triple that Kenny blew out his shock on. You went full send mode. Good luck man you hold the torch for us old guys.

    This cats got em a dose of reality . He realizes how much he loves the sport and it couldn't come at a better time for us fans of the sport. How can ya not pull for a guy that's humble and for me the biggest reason I respect em so much? He could've EASILY tucked tail and ran after his Achilles injury . I mean most guys that's on top , when a hungry lion emerges and he's taking the sport by storm ? I mean the cat went undefeated outdoors with this level of talent across the board . Nope.. he came back and wanted to prove why he still feels that he can , not only be competitive? But win the title.. Go get eem Eli , we all pullin for you.
