Are air vests worth it, or are they just another expensive bit of riding gear? In this episode of the ADB Podcast, we chat with Alpinestar's Christian Scire who explains   the Alpinestars Tech-Air system and how all the models differ. Before buying an air vest, make sure you listen to this podcast.
We dive into how the technology works, how its sensors detect a crash and deploy the airbag in milliseconds, and what sort of injuries these systems are designed to help prevent. We also discuss the practical side of wearing an airbag vest for motocross, enduro and adventure riding, including comfort, weight, movement, accidental deployments and the cost of resetting the system after a crash.

We managed to get all three of Australia's 2026 Motocross of Nations riders together for this episode of the ADB Podcast, with Jed Beaton, Aaron Tanti and Alex Larwood joining us to give a proper behind-the-scenes look at Australia's MXoN campaign. We get the boys talking about what really happened on track, the pressure of representing Australia, the difficult starts, the battles through the pack and just how challenging the conditions were against the world's best motocross riders.
It's a rare chance to hear all three riders together, comparing stories, having a laugh and giving us an insight into what really went down at the 2026 MXoN.

Most people reckon pulling a wheelie is hard enough, but Matt Hall is taking things to another level by attempting the longest blindfolded wheelie. And did we mention he's a paraplegic? In this episode of the ADB Podcast, we sit down with the man behind Outpatient Moto to hear his incredible story, from the injury that changed his life to getting back on a motorcycle, learning to ride with limited lower-body function and eventually pushing the boundaries of what's possible on two wheels.
Matt talks us through the challenges of adaptive riding, the modifications required to control his motorcycle and how he mastered wheelies before deciding to attempt one without being able to see where he's going.

At just 16 years old, Bernie Dunn’s life changed completely when a motorcycle accident resulted in the amputation of his left leg above the knee. In this episode of the ADB Podcast, Bernie takes us back to the accident, the decision to amputate, the long road through recovery and, incredibly, how motorcycles eventually became a massive part of his life again.
Bernie explains how he relearned to ride as an above-knee amputee, the modifications and techniques required to control a dirtbike, and how that journey ultimately led him into motorcycle coaching and back to competition. We also talk about his recent return to racing, conquering Finke in 2027 and what it means to be competitive again and just how far he wants to take his riding from here. It’s an incredible story about motorcycles, determination and refusing to give up something you love.
