Gypsy Tales

Jackson Goldstone is the UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Champion rewriting the sport at 22 years old. From Squamish, British Columbia — the place built to raise a downhill world champion — Jackson breaks down four straight World Cup wins on his way to the 2025 UCI title, his redemption victory at Red Bull Hardline 2025, the rivalry with Loic Bruni, and why his flow-state riding style is forcing every team on the circuit to adapt.

Jackson's style is changing downhill MTB. Every rival team is filming him to see what lines he's on and what he's doing different. This is a conversation about raw speed, mental pressure at the top, the first 48 hours after a career-shaping crash, and what's next for one of the most dominant athletes on two wheels.

In Chapter 396, Jackson Goldstone reveals:
- Winning four World Cup rounds in a row on the way to the 2025 UCI World Championship
- The full redemption story at Red Bull Hardline 2025
- The first 48 hours after his 2024 Hardline crash
- Why he refuses to run electronic suspension
- Racing Loic Bruni at Andorra 2025
- His lifelong moto background and how it shaped his riding
- Running a balance bike to kindergarten in Squamish, and how that path led to Santa Cruz Syndicate
- Why downhill MTB is entering its prime era

Jade Dungey is one of the most elite supercross mechanics in the paddock — and the man Red Bull KTM trusted with Eli Tomac's factory bike. In this chapter, he breaks down the inside story of Eli's shock move to KTM, how picky Eli really is on bike setup, how expensive a factory 450 actually is, why Chase Sexton walked away from the team, and the moment his brother Ryan Dungey made the decision that changed the brand forever.

Jade Dungey is Ryan Dungey's older brother, a championship-winning supercross mechanic, and now Eli Tomac's wrench at Red Bull KTM. He's been inside the factory for the biggest shifts in the sport — from Ryan's KTM era to Eli's arrival — and has a rare view of what really happens behind the pit wall.

In Chapter 397, Jade Dungey reveals:
- Finding out Eli Tomac was joining KTM
- What it actually takes to prep a factory bike for Eli vs. Aaron Plessinger
- How expensive a factory dirt bike really is
- Eli Tomac going through clutches and why KTM gave him a cable clutch
- Why Chase Sexton walked away from KTM
- Did Eli Tomac save KTM — and the moment the brand almost closed its doors
- Ryan Dungey's crazy decision to join KTM and why Roger DeCoster gave him the chance
- Whether supercross is turning into Formula 1
- How Jett Lawrence is breaking the mold and how Haiden Deegan will transition to the 450 class
- Jade's first mechanic gig, brotherly fights with Ryan, and winning Detroit with Aaron Plessinger

Nick Romano was supposed to be the next big thing. Dominant amateur career, factory Star Racing Yamaha deal at 14, and the speed to win. Then a crash on a test track broke both his arms before his supercross debut. What followed was years of injuries, setbacks, and a career most people thought was over. He never quit. Then Mitch Payton called and gave him a chance to rebuild his career at Pro Circuit Kawasaki. Nick is only 21 years old. His story is just being written.

This is Nick Romano's full story. From Star Racing to going privateer to earning a Pro Circuit Kawasaki ride the hard way.

Motocross filmmaker and Vurb Moto co-founder Wes Williams joins the Gypsy Tales Podcast for a nearly 3-hour conversation about building some of the most iconic videos the sport has ever seen. From the James Stewart helicopter shoot that became the most-watched motocross video in history, to launching Vurb Moto alongside Brent Stallo and Andrew Campo — Wes has shaped how an entire generation of moto fans experience the sport.

In this chapter, Wes opens up about investing every dollar he had into a film he thought would make him a million, the Red Bull projects that changed his career trajectory, filming Ryan Dungey's Homegrown and Justin Barcia's Platinum, the 2010 Motocross of Nations weekend that changed his life, and what he's building now with the Prospect App and Draft Day — a sponsorship platform connecting brands directly to amateur riders based on real data and real metrics for the first time.

In this episode Wes breaks down the James Stewart helicopter shoot, growing up outside of motocross, his Loretta Lynn's run, how Vurb Moto started as an online magazine people laughed at, the Art of Flight's influence on moto filmmaking, filming Malcolm Stewart's Dream Ride, Cole Seely at Zaca Station, Red Bull Imagination, MX Sports Center in 2005, and why he believes the Prospect App will change amateur motocross forever.

Hunter Yoder was an amateur phenom with his pro career laid out in front of him. A guaranteed factory deal with Geico Honda, then the team folded overnight, leaving Hunter and his family scrambling, not knowing if they'd ever reach the level they once dreamed of in Supercross and Pro Motocross. After years of rebuilding from the ground up, Hunter is now on Club MX Yamaha with Brandon Haas, Chad Reed, and Daniel Blair all pushing to get him on the podium. This is his story.
