Brian Deegan is a legendary motocross and FMX pioneer — Multi time X Games Gold Medalist and founder of Metal Mulisha.
In today's moment, Brian breaks down something deeper than wins and championships: the real reason to teach your kids to ride. It's not about chasing factory rides or percentages. It's about the lifelong bond you build through racing.
This moment is about parenting, values, and understanding what actually matters when you strip away the results.

Brandon Haas built Club MX from nothing into one of the most respected motocross training facilities in the world — then lawsuits, a rider’s death, and a fraudulent contractor nearly destroyed everything he’d built.

In Chapter 389 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast, Brandon opens up about the dark years nobody talks about: the lawsuits that almost ended Club MX, partnering with Zach Osborne, why Ken Roczen tested the ClubMX Yamaha, Chad Reed joining the program, and what it really costs to run a Supercross team.
