Gypsy Tales

After YEARS of silence, Blake Baggett FINALLY speaks! Once one of the most respected and talked-about riders in motocross, Blake seemingly disappeared from the sport, leaving fans wondering what REALLY happened to El Chupacabra. Now, six years after his last professional race, Blake sits down with Jase Macalpine for Gypsy Tales Chapter 424 to tell his side of the story, and we finally get some answers!

The 2012 Pro Motocross 250 Champion built his reputation on unbelievable speed, legendary late-race charges, and a willingness to push the limits of what was possible on a dirt bike. During his championship-winning season, Blake famously jumped the Freestone wall, sending it further than any other rider, a jump even James Stewart wasn't willing to go for. Then in 2017, after suffering a devastating thumb injury, Blake continued racing with Velcro on his grips just to help him hold on to the handlebars.

But despite everything he'd accomplished, Blake's career came to an unexpected end in 2020. Just two weekends after winning a moto, he walked away from professional racing and never lined up again, leaving fans with more questions than answers. For the first time in years, Blake looks back on the moments that defined his career, what really led to his departure from racing, and the life he's built since. From one of motocross's most exciting talents to a completely different life away from the spotlight, El Chupacabra finally tells his story.

Adam Cianciarulo is back, and this time the conversation is less about racing and more about what comes after it. After retiring in May 2024, AC stepped straight into the broadcasting career he'd dreamed of since he was a kid. Two years later, he's still figuring out who he is without a race result to define him.

Adam won 11 amateur national championships before ever lining up as a professional and spent much of his career carrying the expectations that came with it. In Chapter 423, he sits down with Jase Macalpine to discuss growing up without the time to develop an identity outside of racing, the breakdown that forced him to confront it, and his decision to turn down work so he could spend an entire summer with nothing on his schedule.

AC OPENS UP ON:
◼ Never having had time to develop an identity outside racing
◼ The 2021 breakdown with his arm, and why he is grateful it got that bad
◼ Turning down the 2025 outdoors so he would have nothing on all summer
◼ Winning a Supercross in 2014 with zero confidence, and feeling like an imposter
◼ Training so hard as a kid that he stunted his own growth
◼ Moving in with Ryan Villopoto, and why RV is the most underrated champion of the era
◼ Giving Ken Roczen a 50/50 shot at lining up in 2027
◼ What he actually meant about Chase Sexton, and the standard Chase holds himself to
◼ Jorge Prado and Jeffrey Herlings at the MXoN, and racing ready to die on a Monday
◼ Blake Baggett's life after racing, and the phone call from a construction site

The King of Supercross is back for round two. Jeremy McGrath won 72 supercross main events, 15 more than Eli Tomac and 24 more than Ricky Carmichael, and nobody has got near that standard since. This one is three hours on how it actually ended for him, what he would do differently, and what he sees when he watches the current field.

Jeremy McGrath is a seven time supercross champion with more main event wins than anyone in the history of the sport. In Chapter 422 he sits down with Jase Macalpine to go through the Yamaha offer that cut his salary in half, the KTM that was never ready and made the decision for him, the two fourth places that finally let him stop, and why he is in the gym five mornings a week at 54.

JEREMY EXPLAINS:
◼ The Yamaha offer that halved his salary after he won them three titles
◼ Signing with KTM, a bike that was not ready, and telling Larry he was done tomorrow
◼ The two fourth places behind Carmichael, Stewart and Reed that let him walk away at peace
◼ What he would tell Eli Tomac about the first year out
◼ Why Haiden Deegan should sit behind someone for a whole race and copy him
◼ The same front end crash Chase Sexton keeps having, on every brand
◼ Twenty years of Monster, and the Hansen's sticker on his forks in 98
◼ How he squashed twenty years of beef with Jeff Emig
◼ A hip, a knee, and the ankle he is getting looked at next week

Jase Macalpine sits down with Pernilla Solberg for Chapter 419 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast to tell the story behind one of rally's most influential families. Pernilla never wanted to be the best female driver. She wanted to be the best driver, period. When one competitor told her that if she ever beat him, he'd put his helmet on the shelf, that's exactly what she did.

Pernilla raced against the boys in Sweden throughout the late '90s, met Petter Solberg at Rally GB in 1998, and retired at 28 to raise their son Oliver, now a WRC driver in his own right. Today, she runs the Solberg motorsport operation, serves as President of the FIA World Rally Commission, and holds board seats across five family car companies.

In this chapter, Pernilla gets into what it takes to run a rally team, why a Rally1 car can now cost $1.5 million with few buyers lining up, how modern PR is stripping motorsport of its biggest personalities, and why a new WRC owner could be days away from being announced. Plus, the sim racer who beat everyone with a Logitech taped to his kitchen table, the Norwegian Prime Minister who wrote Petter a letter about his swearing, and why Pernilla believes YouTube, not TV, has become the biggest engine in motorsport.

Petter Solberg sits down with Jase for Chapter 418 to tell the full story of how a broke Norwegian farm kid became the only Norwegian to ever win the World Rally Championship.

From racing Beetles in the mud and earning £15,000 a year as a carpenter, to signing with Ford alongside Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz, the crash that changed his career, winning the 2003 WRC title, and raising his son Oliver as the next generation.

They cover the golden era of WRC, the wild party scene of 2000s rally, Petter’s rallycross years battling Sébastien Loeb, keeping sponsors happy, his wife Pernilla and how they built an empire together, and Jase getting behind the wheel of Petter’s rally car.

Whether you grew up playing Colin McRae Rally on PlayStation or you’re discovering the sport through Oliver Solberg, this is two decades of rally history told by the man who lived it.

Charley Boorman sits down with Jase to tell the real story behind Long Way Round, the trip with Ewan McGregor that changed the motorcycle adventure genre forever. From how the idea came together over dinner in London, to the Dakar Rally training that got him ready, to riding the Road of Bones across Siberia to Magadan, Charley walks through the trip that shaped his life.

They get into what four months on the road with Ewan actually taught him, how the Sky One deal came together, the Long Way Down and Long Way Up follow-ups, riding Australia end to end, 53 miles of hard enduro at the Isle of Man with David Knight, and what makes Jett Lawrence and Marc Marquez operate on a different level than the rest of us.

Whether you've watched every Long Way series or you're finding Charley for the first time, this is the interview that goes deeper than the shows ever could.

Chapter 415 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast features British speedway rider Dan Bewley sitting down with Jase to explain what it actually feels like to race a bike with no brakes, four laps at a time, at 70 mph, inches away from three other riders. Dan breaks down the crash that shattered his femur, his dream of becoming a professional motocross racer before switching to speedway, and what it took to build a career in a sport most Americans have never seen.

They also get into the new Kawasaki two-stroke concept everyone's talking about, life racing in Poland where speedway is massive, Russian riders being banned from top-level competition, Ken Roczen finally becoming a Supercross champion, and whether Haiden Deegan really has what it takes to beat Jett Lawrence.

Boyzone’s Shane Lynch joins us for Chapter 416 of Gypsy Tales. One of the faces of one of the biggest boy bands of the ’90s, Shane is also a serious drift racer, car builder, and lifelong motorsport fanatic. In this chapter, he sits down with Jase to talk about growing up in Dublin, joining Boyzone and being launched into ’90s superstardom, the moment fame and ego took over, and how finding a deeper sense of purpose changed his perspective.

They also get into his first Porsche 911, the car shop he runs, why he fell in love with drift cars, the backyard supercross track a friend built for him, and what he sees in Jett Lawrence and the current state of supercross.

Greg Minnaar is one of the greatest downhill mountain bikers of all time. From winning his first UCI World Cup at 19 to becoming World Champion just weeks before his 40th birthday, he spent more than two decades at the top of the sport. In this episode, Greg looks back on the defining moments of his career, from growing up racing motocross in South Africa to helping build Honda's iconic downhill MTB program.

We dive into the Sam Hill era, how Aaron Gwin changed downhill racing, the development of Honda's legendary bike, and what it really took to stay at the top for over 20 years. Greg also opens up about nearly quitting at 20, living with ADHD as a professional athlete, the sacrifices required to keep winning, and the pressure of racing in front of a home crowd.

If you're a fan of downhill mountain biking, motocross, or high-performance athletes, this is an inside look at the mindset, rivalries, and legacy of one of the sport's true GOATs.

Luke Tarrant left a great job in finance and walked away from the corporate world, knowing he didn't want to spend his life stuck in an office. He sold everything he owned and spent years riding his motorcycle across the world, chasing the kind of adventure few people ever experience.

On a ride through Colombia, everything came to a screeching halt when he was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him fighting for his life. After weeks in a Colombian hospital, Luke ultimately had his leg amputated.

Since then, he's grown a massive global social media following by sharing his journey, inspiring millions with his adventures, resilience, and outlook on life.

In Chapter 413, Jase and Luke dive into the motorcycle crash that changed everything, the incredible strangers who came together to help save his life, crossing the Darien Gap by boat, ending up at a cartel party in Mexico, learning to walk and ride again with a prosthetic leg, and why he refuses to move on until he returns to Colombia to finish the ride.

Billy Bolt is one of the most recognisable personalities in motorsport, and not just because he's one of the fastest, most technically gifted off-road riders on the planet. The 6-time SuperEnduro World Champion and 2021 Hard Enduro World Champion has built a fanbase that's just as loyal to his personality as his results, and in this episode he brings all of it.

Jase and Billy get into why he thinks motocross riders are scared to show their personalities, why hard enduro still isn't as big as supercross (and what enduro has that moto doesn't), the hand injury that turned into a nightmare, becoming a father, the insanity of Erzberg and the Isle of Man TT, modern traction control on dirt bikes, why he started vlogging, and his unfiltered takes on the biggest names in moto, including why Haiden Deegan just doesn't care and his Chase Sexton conspiracy theory.

Sara Aydin taught herself to ride, ignored the people who said women didn't belong on motorcycles, and became one of the most-watched female stunt riders in the world. From wheelies through city streets to high-speed police chases and starring in Rosalía's award-winning "SAOKO" music video, she turned her passion for motorcycles into a global career.

In this episode, Sara opens up about her family's immigrant roots, choosing motorcycles over the traditional path her parents envisioned, teaching herself to wheelie, signing with Monster Energy, filming "SAOKO," surviving serious injuries, the craziest police chases she's experienced, and why she's determined to inspire the next generation of female riders.

Nicolas Hamilton was once pushed through the Formula 1 paddock in a wheelchair by his older brother, Lewis Hamilton. Years later, he stood on the podium in the British Touring Car Championship, one of the toughest racing series in the world. Born with cerebral palsy, Nic had to fight for every step, every opportunity, and every chance to prove he belonged in motorsport. Once the visor came down, he wasn't seen for his disability, he was judged as a racing driver.

In Chapter 410 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast, Nic opens up about growing up with cerebral palsy, the Hamilton family's parenting, his relationship with Lewis, dating and self worth, overcoming a gambling addiction, the financial reality of racing, earning his first BTCC podium, and what's next in 2026. This is one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we've ever had.

Four years ago, the idea of an electric dirt bike changing motocross sounded impossible. Today, the Stark VARG is competing against the best riders and manufacturers in the world, and Stark Future founder Anton Wass returns to Gypsy Tales to explain how it happened. From the latest VARG developments and battery technology to hard enduro dominance, AMA Supercross ambitions, and why he believes combustion bikes could become purely nostalgic within the next decade, Anton shares the vision driving one of the most disruptive companies in motorsports.

Beyond motorcycles, Anton and Jase dive into artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, the future of work, universal basic income, and what it takes to lead a company that's challenging an entire industry.

Davey Todd joins Gypsy Tales for Chapter 407 to discuss the Isle of Man TT, the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world. From winning at the TT to surviving career-changing crashes, Davey shares what it takes to race at nearly 200 mph on public roads where the margin for error is almost nonexistent.

We discuss Davey's devastating Daytona crash, missing the 2026 Isle of Man TT, learning the legendary Mountain Course, battling injuries, racing against TT legend Michael Dunlop, and the mindset required to compete at the highest level of road racing. Davey also opens up about fear, mental preparation, sacrifice, and the journey from working a regular job to becoming one of the fastest road racers on the planet. This is one of the most honest conversations we've had about motorcycle racing, the Isle of Man TT, road racing, risk, and what drives riders to keep coming back to the world's toughest race.
