00:30
I saw your truck in the parking lot and I parked next to it.
00:40
Yeah.
00:41
How is yours so tall, dude?
00:42
It is pretty tall, eh?
00:43
I don't know why.
00:44
I don't know.
00:45
A little three inch lift on her, but she's pretty tall.
00:46
All right.
00:47
So for the amount of times we load bikes.
00:48
Yeah.
00:49
Have you crashed out of the back of it yet?
00:50
I haven't.
00:51
I don't even think there's been a dirt bike in the back.
00:52
Oh, yeah.
00:53
Well, actually, I'd say that.
00:54
We went to Nuevo, loaded the old 450, but Trev did the dirty work, so no falling out.
01:00
I asked Daddy Damien for a low one next time.
01:04
See, I was going to do one like that, like the old Dino one.
01:08
Yeah.
01:09
Slam.
01:10
Big, huge rims on it, but he was like, no, I'm not having it, so we went with what we
01:14
got.
01:15
But hey, I'm not complaining.
01:16
It's a champagne problem for sure.
01:17
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:18
And you got the color out.
01:19
Yeah, we got the cement.
01:20
Cement.
01:21
Yeah.
01:22
It's about time for an upgrade, he told me.
01:23
Already?
01:24
Yeah, I guess.
01:25
He's a man, though.
01:26
Dude, I got 55,000 miles on mine right now.
01:27
No way.
01:28
But he just put the order into my mind.
01:29
I thought a lot like Nichols, but lower.
01:30
Fair enough.
01:31
That's a good one.
01:32
So hey, two rounds in.
01:33
Yeah.
01:34
Red plate.
01:35
Yeah.
01:36
Win, first win.
01:37
Can't complain, yeah?
01:38
No, not at all.
01:39
I mean, this is everything I pretty much wanted to do, you know, from the get-go.
01:40
So coming to Anaheim one, I was able to win that, and that was obviously a big, big deal,
01:41
and confidence and everything that went with that.
01:42
And I tried to go into Phoenix and just block out all the cars.
01:43
Yeah.
01:44
Yeah.
01:45
Yeah.
01:46
Yeah.
01:47
Yeah.
01:48
Yeah.
01:49
Yeah.
01:50
Yeah.
01:51
Yeah.
01:52
Yeah.
01:53
Yeah.
01:54
Yeah.
01:55
Yeah.
01:56
Yeah.
01:58
Yeah.
01:59
Yeah.
02:00
Yeah.
02:01
Yeah.
02:02
Yeah.
02:03
Yeah.
02:04
Yeah.
02:05
Yeah.
02:06
Yeah.
02:07
Yeah.
02:08
Yeah.
02:09
Yeah.
02:10
Yeah.
02:11
Yeah.
02:12
Yeah.
02:13
And I was able to go into Phoenix and just block out kind of everything to do my deal
02:14
and I was able to come away with second.
02:15
I was a little unhappy with the way I rode, but I cannot be unhappy about the result.
02:16
I mean, you can't win all of them.
02:17
And it was a good race for me.
02:18
I was actually really, really happy with getting second.
02:19
And coming into this one, I feel great.
02:20
And, yeah, we'll just see how it plays out.
02:21
Triple crown.
02:22
So I'm going to change it up a little bit.
02:23
Hey, tell me about your crew, your mechanic, trainer.
02:24
Trevor Carmichael.
02:26
We've been working together since I got on the team
02:27
and at the end of 16, awesome, awesome dude.
02:31
And then normally the riding crew,
02:33
we got Swanee, Justin Cooper, Mitchell Oldenburg,
02:37
and then AP.
02:39
So that's the normal crew, I'm on the regular,
02:42
but here lately back at home, the home crew,
02:44
that's Bozel and Fraze.
02:46
Those are my guys back at home.
02:47
So, you forgot to mention something.
02:50
Is it?
02:51
Because I know you have like a hair stylist
02:53
that follows you around.
02:54
As soon as you take your helmet off, they fix your hair.
02:57
Oh, that's OG Mike.
02:58
That's my guy.
03:00
Yeah, he's the one that keeps it hooked up.
03:01
He keeps me nice and tight.
03:03
You got some, do they call them stripes on them?
03:06
I don't really know what you call them.
03:08
That's just his little set up.
03:12
That's OG Mike special.
03:13
He's my guy though.
03:14
I just go in there and sit down
03:15
and he just starts going to town on my head.
03:17
So, then we came out with that.
03:19
Take good luck tonight, bud.
03:20
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
03:24
What are those guys doing?
03:25
I think they're doing Tinder or video.
03:28
Tinder?
03:29
Tinder.
03:30
I keep Dino swiping to the right,
03:32
but maybe he's Fortnite,
03:34
because he's, he kills it on Fortnite, baby.
03:43
Wally, tell me about this new Holi device.
03:45
Yeah, so this is an extreme case, obviously,
03:48
a 450 Supercross guy,
03:49
but theoretically you don't need a friend.
03:51
So, how it works is you come down here
03:54
and you just turn the dial.
03:56
If Dean's riding, if he's on dirt,
03:58
he can just grab a bunch of front brake
03:59
and it'll lock it himself.
04:00
But for your camera, we'll show you how it works.
04:03
You just raise one, two, three, four.
04:06
Oh, you gotta go down far.
04:07
One, two, and it just locks.
04:11
So, you don't need anybody to time it
04:14
or anything like that.
04:15
And then he'll hit a bump
04:16
or he'll grab a bunch of front brake and it'll pop off.
04:18
So, the twist is the activation?
04:22
The twist is like pre-setting it, essentially.
04:23
So, yeah.
04:24
And once it unclips, it twists the other way
04:27
and there's no chance of it locking again?
04:29
Correct, yep.
04:30
Cool, when is this coming to market?
04:32
I think production version available to the public
04:35
will be probably sometime in August,
04:36
is what I'm thinking.
04:37
Cool, whose idea was this, yours?
04:40
So, a little bit mine, a little bit the two
04:42
kind of product developer guys that I work with.
04:43
We always, that's like our team.
04:46
It's us three that basically come up
04:48
with all our kind of stuff at ProTaper.
04:49
So, I'm lucky to work with some really inventive,
04:52
cool guys that understand the sport.
04:55
And we all kind of bring our piece, I guess.
04:57
And yeah, that's what we came up with.
04:58
I'm pretty excited about this one.
05:00
Yeah, because not everybody at a local race
05:02
has somebody to help.
05:03
Exactly, you know?
05:04
So, it's honestly, I've realized it myself
05:06
in the last four years,
05:07
I can never go practice starts by myself.
05:09
I'm always by myself and I can't practice a start.
05:11
So, we fixed it with this.
05:16
All these day strides in the off-season.
05:18
My heart rate's always so low now.
05:23
Can't get it up to warm up.
05:24
I haven't got to try so hard.
05:29
What's up, bro?
05:30
What's up?
05:32
Hey, tell me about your gig with Marshall Welton.
05:35
Yeah, things are going really good.
05:37
We're like three weeks out of the first East Coast race.
05:39
So, it came fast and we've made a lot of progress.
05:44
His race bike's almost done.
05:45
So, we're going to ride that here next week.
05:48
Actually, he's headed back to North Carolina
05:50
and that's where he's going to stay on the East Coast.
05:52
So, I think I'm going to go back with him
05:54
for the time being until it starts.
05:57
But I think we're at a good place
05:58
and the goal that I set for him
06:01
and I think we agreed on is to show up to the first race
06:04
and be seven to 12.
06:07
And if we improve and get close to being seven,
06:11
you know what I mean?
06:12
If we keep getting close to that fifth place,
06:13
then obviously we'll regroup and re-strategize our goals.
06:17
And I think he's a hard worker and he'll surprise people.
06:22
Cool.
06:23
So, you're training him on the bike and off the bike, right?
06:27
Yeah, so-
06:27
It looks like his technique has improved substantially.
06:31
Yeah, I mean, he's been in Europe the last two years.
06:33
So, he's just been riding motocross.
06:35
Obviously, there's some stuff in supercross
06:37
that obviously you just need time to get better at it.
06:41
And it started off, honestly, pretty well.
06:44
And since then, he improved.
06:46
In one week, he came around and he improved a lot.
06:48
Like, went from being, I would say,
06:50
off the fastest guys there,
06:51
two, three seconds off the pace,
06:52
to within a second, second and a half
06:54
of the guys that are racing and finishing in the top five.
06:57
So, and even days where he's running the pace of those guys.
07:01
So, he's improved a lot.
07:04
He's strong and he has determination.
07:07
So, I mean, you can't really break somebody like that.
07:09
So, I feel like it's a good combination to head into East.
07:14
And it's been fun.
07:16
I've been learning a lot working with people.
07:19
I'm helping Dean as well.
07:20
So, it's just been fun for me.
07:22
Obviously, I'd rather be racing,
07:23
but that's not the option right now.
07:25
So, might as well make the best of it
07:27
and do the best we can.
07:28
Yeah, what's your capacity with Wilson?
07:32
It's just more so just like, basically, like a program.
07:36
Just kind of help him out with setting a schedule for the weeks.
07:40
And that's pretty much it, bicycle rides and gym.
07:45
So, I mean, he does that with me and Marshall,
07:48
the bike rides and gym.
07:49
So, it's pretty basic, but I've been enjoying it.
07:52
It gives me something to focus on.
07:53
And it's good for Marshall to have Dean around as well.
07:57
Personality-wise, it's good to have somebody else in the mix.
08:00
Keep it light.
08:00
Yes, for sure.
08:01
So, he's like Mr. Serious on the mountain bike.
08:04
Like, we saw you guys at Greer
08:06
and he's riding a hardtail in Lycra.
08:07
Yeah.
08:09
Yeah, no, he's, dude, he's really strong.
08:11
I was really impressed even when he showed up.
08:13
He said he hadn't really trained in two or three months
08:16
when he stayed in Michigan after he basically found out
08:20
he couldn't race in Europe again next year.
08:23
And first fitness test was better than some of the ones I've done.
08:28
So, yeah, he's strong and I'm looking forward to it.
08:32
Cool. Thanks, buddy.
08:33
Yep.
