Justin Carafa is a guy that nearly everyone in the motocross paddock knows or knows of – and for good reason. He started his professional motocross and supercross career 18 years ago, and though he’s a bit more selective these days about the races he does, he can still keep up with some of the fastest riders in the country.

Over the course of his career, Justin has raced motocross, supercross and offroad events at the highest levels in Australia, and spent several years racing both indoors and outdoors in Europe. The riders he has gone bar to bar with on the track includes some absolute icons of the sport, and it’s a privilege having him here in Moto Asylum with me to record this episode of Inside the Helmet

I’m genuinely excited to bring you our Industry Guest for this episode, Stephen Tuff, who has joined me here today in the Wolf Den.

"Tuffy" started out his career in the industry working for the biggest dirt-bike print magazine in the country – Australasian Dirt Bike, or ADB as it is more commonly known, way back in 1998.

Since then, Tuffy’s 20-plus year career in the industry has been diverse. A long-time motocross and off-road motorcycling journalist, his career has also seen him working as a photographer, assistant editor, brand manager, and more recently, a bike tester. He also remains a regular contributor to ADB.

Tuffy role has largely been that of a story-teller, using his talents to bring to life stories about events, bikes and other riders, through his words and photos.

In career that has been largely focused on shining the spotlight on those around him, though, the adventures that Tuffy has had in the process, the people he’s met and worked with, and the places he’s been, make his own story just as cool and interesting as anyone he’s covered as a journalist throughout his time in the industry.
