Round four of the 2026 Pro Motocross Nationals saw some surprising results, with big brother Hunter Lawrence turning the tables on Jettson and sweeping both 450 motos, and Eastern Division 250 Supercross Champion Cole Davies turning in a perfect day in the 250 class to earn his first-ever National win. ARay and Chase review everything that went down at High Point in this week's Kickstart Podcast, presented by Maxxis.
With Ryan Villopoto racing in Mammoth, Ricky Carmichael calls on old rival 3-time AMA Champion Chad Reed to discuss High Point, from Hunter Lawrence's impressive win, the drama between Jett Lawrence and Haiden Deegan, whether Cole Davies' grace period is over, is there a Pro Circuit curse, Jorge Prado's odd ride, Mayla Herrick's tremendous debut, and whether Michael Jordan is coming dirt-bike racing.

Presented by Maxxis Let's be real here...did we have our first snoozer of a race in 2026? Sure, in comparison to the edge-of-your-seat races of the parst few weekends, the runaway performances turned in by Haiden Deegan in the 250 Western Division main and Hunter Lawrence in the 450 main on Empower Field inside Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado, were quite boring. Still, the stage is set for two great races this weekend in Salt Lake City, where the 450 title will come down to a winner-take-all affair between Ken Roczen and Hunter Lawrence, and Haiden Deegan will try to destroy the competition in what will be his last 250 Supercross. Who do you have?
Ricky Carmichael and Ryan Villopoto sit down to take a look at Mile High this past weekend, including Hunter Lawrence taking back momentum, Ken Roczen knowing what he had, Jorge Prado at it again, a rule that needs changing, Eli Tomac is back, Dylan Ferrandis hits two guys in two turns, Haiden Deegan stacking records and dollars, and how each rider in the 450 title race should handle it in Salt Lake.

Ken Roczen owned Cleveland for Monster Energy AMA Supercross, with multiple events on Friday that didn't distract him from the racing task at hand. In fact, they probably enhanced it. Because everyone wants Ken Roczen to win right now--well, maybe everyone save Honda and Hunter Lawrence--but even his title rival would have to admit Ken is a good guy and this season has made for a great story. Jason Weigandt was actually with Ken at the Cleveland events on Friday and called the race for the fans on Saturday, and they went wild for the 94. Here's why.

Presented by Maxxis The final Triple Crown of the series went down in Cleveland, Ohio, last weekend, and the 450 championship was literally blown wide open. With only three rounds left, we have the tightest premier class championship battle in the history of the sport, with Hunter Lawrence and Ken Roczen separated by only a single point. Tragically, Eli Tomac's championship hopes came to an end with a crash in the whoops during the first qualifying session, as he banged up his hip badly enough that he was unable to carry on. Our Editor at Large, Kellen Brauer, joins us on today's Kickstart Podcast to add extra insight to this week's show! Enjoy!
Presented by Maxxis Round 13 of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship in Nashville, Tennessee, saw the 450-class championship go from the tightest ever at this point of the season, with three racers within five points, to Hunter Lawrence enjoying 10- and 15-point leads over rivals Ken Roczen and Eli Tomac. The hard-packed dirt inside Nissan Stadium posed a problem for many racers, and while Lawrence rode to victory and sole possession of the series points lead, Roczen and Tomac both hit the ground and finished third and 12th, respectively. We cover all of this and more on this week's Maxxis Kickstart Podcast.

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. Round 11 of the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross Championship went off in Detroit, Michigan's Ford Field last weekend, and - once again - the racing was insane! Dare we say it, sometimes at this point in the series, the action has tapered off in the past and become almost predictable. Not this year! Though Honda HRC Progressive's Hunter Lawrence came in with a solid points lead and three wins in the last four races, a crash in the whoops and damage suffered to his front brake blew the championship wide open again as Eli Tomac reclaimed the red plate with a fifth-place finish. We've got a seven-race series on our hands, folks! In the 250 Eastern Division class, Cole Davies put an exclamation point on the dominance that he's enjoyed in the class, coming from nearly mid-pack to win by over 10 seconds. The New Zealander was upset with his performance at the first East vs. West Shootout of the year a couple of weeks ago, and he's certainly looking forward to a rematch with his teammate Haiden Deegan next weekend in St. Louis. We cover these points and a lot more, in this week's Kickstart Podcast!
Ricky Carmichael and Ryan Villopoto are revved up for the latest round of Supercross coming out of the Motor City. The champions discuss the Whoops, why they were so difficult, and why riders are not better at them, Hunter Lawrence's tough night and whether he or Eli Tomac, after a lackluster performance, are on the Guts Hot Seat. They also dive into Ken Roczen's championship hopes, whether the AMA should have penalized Cooper Webb, the mindset of both Chase Sexton and Malcolm Stewart, Cole Davies being a cut above the rest, what was the save of the night, and whether or not injuries should be public thanks to the world of sports betting.

It's the Leatt LVK: More Than Moto show where Start Your Systems' Kellen Brauer and Vital MX's Lewis Phillips debate current SX/MX/MXGP topics as well as general life itself. In Episode 96, we go hard at the AMA's confusing decisions of late, break down Hunter Lawrence's recent success, and more. It's all brought to you by Leatt, Alpinestars, and Partzilla.
Since Jett Lawrence was last on the podcast four years ago, everything has changed, he went from dominating the 250 class to completely taking over the 450 division, winning every championship he's been healthy for, including an undefeated 450 Pro Motocross rookie season, a dominant Supercross season, multiple SuperMotocross World Championships, and another outdoor title, at this point Jett isn't questioning it anymore, he knows he's the best, and this is a side of him we haven't seen before, confident, fired up, and hungry to stack even more championships, with another perfect season in his sights.#GypsyTales #JettLawrence #Supercross #Motocross #GOAT #HunterLawrence #SuperMotocross #PodcastIn this chapter we talk
Presented by Maxxis Tires and Outhouse Coffee Co. Round 10 of the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross Championship visited Birmingham, Alabama, last weekend, and the action in both classes was spectacular! In the 250 class, we saw the first East vs. West Showdown of the year and were treated to some great racing as Haiden Deegan put on a riding clinic and came from 10th to first, passing all of the top riders from both coasts en route to the win. Or so we thought... Deegan was penalized by the AMA for clipping a track marker entering a split lane and was stripped of his win and docked to second. This gave his teammate Cole Davies the win, and we go over this extensively on the show. Hunter Lawrence was perfect in the 450 class and turned in a runaway performance over Ken Roczen and title rival Eli Tomac, who had one of the wildest nights in recent memory...

Presented by Maxxis and Backyard Coffee Co. There is no denying that Eli Tomac is the baddest dude to have ever ridden a dirt bike at Daytona International Speedway. ET3 earned his record-breaking eighth win at last weekend's Daytona Supercross, and he is now the winningest rider at the World Center of Racing in any form of motorsports. And while much fuss was made of him busting part of his front tooth off when the base of his trophy broke off and sent the brass rider smashing into his mouth, the big story is that the Red Bull KTM rider now has four wins on the season and has closed within a single point of his championship rival Hunter Lawrence. We talk about everything Daytona, in this week's Kickstart Podcast race review!
There was little doubt on any race fans mind that Hunter Lawrence would get a 450SX win and when HRC unveiled their military appreciation bike in Arlington, it was a slam dunk. We've got the 450SX WINNER on the line tonight. Pierce Brown is probably the second most "due" racer in the series that was ready for the win and he also got the DUB AND WE HAVE HIM TOO. Dean Wilson is off racing in other Worldly events because he is very cultured; Dean-O is on with us tonight too. We have the fastest brothers from Minnesota in studio and their best frenemy, Phil Nicoletti in studio with them as well. GREAT SHOW!!
