With the 2023 Aussie Supercross about to kick off in Radelaide, joining me in studio for this episode is one of the key players pulling the strings behind scenes – General Manager of AME – Mick Sinclair.

Mick’s been putting out a bunch of media over the last few weeks, giving updates on the range of great initiatives AME have cooked up for the 2023 Championship, which is looking to be just the first step in a bright new era of Aussie Supercross. We’ll of course be touching on not only what those initiatives are, but also the reasons behind how and why they came about. 

In addition to his work on this year's Aussie Supercross Championship, Mick’s spent the last two decades working with moto-industry icons such as Crusty Demons of Dirt, Nitro Circus, Fox Australia, Peter Stevens Harley Heaven and the World Supercross Championship (WSX). So we'll be chatting about all of those things, and get to learn a bit about Mick and his  journey leading up to his current role in the industry.

Joining me in-studio for this episode of Inside the Helmet, is Zane Mackintosh.

There are plenty of laughs as we discuss Zane's experiences living the motolife, his first season racing the MX2 class of the ProMX Championship and his preparation for the upcoming Aussie Supercross. We also breakdown the cost putting together a program to race the whole series as a privateer, and how to make it a sustainable career.

As well as being a rider, Zane is clearly also a fan and student of the sport, so we delve into all of the other things that are currently happening in the wider moto scene - from Motocross of Nations, the unanswered questions about the "World" Supermotocross series which kicks off this weekend, and the awesome breaking news regarding the World Supercross Championship.

Hope you enjoy it!

This is show #14 of the Mental4Moto podcast, and joining me in-studio for this one is another cool industry guest and just plain rad human, Dean Mosig.

Dean has been around the motocross scene for much of his life. His primary role in the industry for the past 6 years has been  as  a Senior Sales Coordinator and Yamaha Brand Ambassador at Peter Stevens Motorcycles.  On top of this, Dean is also a certified riding coach, content creator, and was recently invited to take part in product testing for the new Yamaha E-MTB, as well as the soon-to-be released Stark Varg E-MX bike. 

As a rider, Dean is a long-time MX1 A-Grade motocross racer, former National-level supercross racer, and now at 32 years of age, just raced his first ever ProMX National in the 30+ class at Coolum in QLD.

Over the course of this episode, Dean shares some of his insight into the industry and we also discuss some spicy topics - on occasion even going down the rabbit hole a bit! From the evolution of electric motorcycles, the mental benefits of riding, motorcycle sales during and post-COVID, the monetization of digital content, media coverage of the sport, the local racing scene, ProMX, Supercross and WSX, and much, much more.
