This year, the hotly contested Penrite ProMX Championship’s MX3 class has seen the emergence of a new generation of future Aussie motocross superstars.

One of those prospects is T-Dub Husqvarna’s Liam Owens. At just 15 years of age, Liam has achieve multiple overall podium finishes during this year’s Penrite ProMX Championship. His performances caught the attention of the French-based Bud Racing Kawasaki outfit, who invited Liam to come to Europe to race two rounds of the MXGP’s European Championship in the EMX250 class as part of the team.

We catch up with Liam to talk about his experiences racing overseas, the rising pool of talent in Australian motocross, and Liam’s goals, under the guidance of his mentor, experienced MX1 legend Todd Waters, to one day earn a full-time ride in the MXGP’s premiere class.

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.

In this episode of the Mental4Moto ProMX Breakdown Show we cover all the juicy topics arising from the Round 3 mudder that took place at Wodonga on April 16th.

We get New Zealand motocross legend, Cody Cooper, on the line to give us his thoughts about this year's championship so far, and chat about his amazing career. At 39, Cody's perspective on the sport is refreshing, and certainly a little different to most other younger riders!

We also speak to the reigning MX1 Champion, Aaron Tanti, about his rollercoaster of a season. Tanti came into Wodonga with the red plate, riding a wave of confidence, but after a bike failure in moto 1, finds himself with a 28 point deficit to make up heading into Round 4. Can Aaron put it on the top step of the box again this weekend at Maitland, like he did last year, and start clawing his way back into title contention?

Once again, Deathgrip Products' Travis Coward joins me as cohost in the 'Wolf Den" for this episode, which is jam packed with laughs, and plenty of controversy!

Our industry guest in this episode of the Mental4Moto podcast is Steve Powell, founder and owner of SPMX, a performance engine and suspension workshop based in Victoria, Australia.

Though he is probably best known as a suspension specialist, Steve has done it all during his 30+ years in the industry - as a rider, mechanic, crew chief, and just about every other role in between! His knowledge, experience and passion for all things dirtbike-related is simply next level.

During this episode, we cover Steve's time in the industry - working and riding at the highest levels in the country, bike tech, the World Vet Championships, E-bikes, being a moto-dad, plus a bunch of other topics!
