On paper the overall results from the Hangtown Motocross Classic are a repeat of round one, but the action was far different and - dare we say - even more exciting! The Dirt Diggers M.C. always do an amazing job of putting on the NorCal race, and even though the temperatures were borderline unbearable, the things that unfolded on the race track made the sunburn and dehydration all worthwhile.

Phil comes on to talk about the eve of his Canadian MX debut for 2025 and give his thoughts on the racing from Pala. Mikkel Haarup is a nice surprise addition to the Triumph racing squad for the 2025 outdoors and had himself a nice ride at Pala, he joins us to discuss how the ride came about and what he expects of himself in this series. Jo Shimoda is on to talk about a standout ride for himself at Pala and discloses some of his thoughts on his decision to part ways with Lucas Mirtl as his agent. Jeff Krekelberg from Hangtown MX is on to talk Dirt Diggers as we head to NorCal next weekend. Lewis is in studio folks!!

Send us a textWhat transforms a fashion industry professional into a respected crypto artist? In this candid conversation with Jules, we explore the fascinating intersection of traditional art backgrounds and Web3 innovation.Jules opens up about his creative evolution that began alongside major fashion designers, where he absorbed the art of vision execution before developing his own voice through photography and digital creation. His refreshingly positive outlook on work—from managing an ice cream shop at 14 to selling "flowers" in Northern California—reveals how gratitude shapes both his art and his approach to the crypto space."We are all so lucky," Jules reminds us, highlighting how privileged we are to participate in this innovative ecosystem regardless of market conditions. This perspective extends to his thoughtful approach to creating digital art, where he considers whether each piece deserves to "live forever" on the blockchain before minting it.The conversation takes fascinating turns through discussions of supply dynamics, comparing approaches from artists like Jack Butcher and Joe Pease, while Jules shares his own philosophy of creating deliberately and with reverence for blockchain permanence. His insights on editions versus one-of-ones offer valuable perspective for both creators and collectors navigating the space.Perhaps most valuable is Jules' advice to fellow artists: "Don't forget to live life, because what happens outside of making art is what informs the art." This reminder to maintain balance and draw inspiration from diverse experiences resonates as essential wisdom for creative sustainability in any medium.Join us for this heartfelt discussion about finding your people, creating with intention, and approaching each day with positivity in the evolving landscape of digital art.

pray norcal. 5.14.25 by Home Church

Lee Neves and Hannah Diaz join the show to talk about Stockton Cargo's big win in the league opener. The duo discuss the NorCal division, the depth of talent in California, and why the USL W League is becoming the destination league for pre-professional talent in the women's game.

In this episode of Flying Magazine's "I learned about flying from that" podcast, host Rob Reider speaks with Tim Kurrek about a truly challenging incident that occurred over 20 years ago. Tim, a longtime instructor with extensive tailwheel and glider experience, was on what should have been a routine flight in IMC in his trusted Cessna 180 when the engine suddenly and unexpectedly quit. With no autopilot and the gyros spooling down, Tim was immediately thrust into a situation requiring proficient hand flying and quick thinking. After declaring the engine failure and contacting NorCal, he began troubleshooting while maintaining his best glide speed. However, battling heavy rain and downdrafts, Tim realized his descent rate was higher than expected, and he wouldn't make the initial airport NorCal vectored him towards, which was surrounded by suburbia. This critical realization forced a rapid decision and a change of course towards what he hoped would be more suitable terrain. Breaking out of the clouds at a low altitude, he faced the daunting task of selecting and landing on an unconventional off-airport site under challenging muddy and crosswind conditions. The landing, while successful in preserving life and aircraft integrity, presented its own immediate set of problems with the aircraft sinking into the mud. What followed involved navigating interactions with a gruff local farmer, law enforcement, and the FAA, all while trying to understand the mysterious engine failure. Ultimately, the cause of the engine issue was identified, and the challenging process of recovering the aircraft from the field, with the farmer's reluctant assistance, became another chapter in the story. Tim shares the powerful lessons learned about the importance of aircraft knowledge, maintaining pilot proficiency, critical situational awareness, and the absolute necessity of pre-planning flights, even IFR ones, with VFR charts to understand the ground below. His experience vividly illustrates astronaut Frank Borman's quote: "A superior pilot uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill".

The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is best described as... Porsche-great. This week we're doing a deep dive into Ford's funky sedan of the 1980s: the Sierra, together with its American identical cousin, the Merkur XR4Ti. In the early 1980s, Ford of Europe (and chairman Bob Lutz) was on a mission to get a piece of the export pie that was dominated by Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. The car they conjured up to do so, the Sierra, was a massive success in Europe. When it eventually made it to the U.S., badged as a Merkur XR4Ti, Lutz's plan to sell the cars to yuppies via independent niche dealers was foiled, and the car was placed on Lincoln-Mercury dealer lots alongside big American barges and clueless salesmen, only to die a slow death. Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, the extra-spicy Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was born. In fact, the car was so sought-after (i.e. stolen) by British hooligans that insurance companies refused to cover them. And it was so fast it was repeatedly banned from racing, eventually effectively spelling the end for Group A racing. Ford of Europe (headed up by Bob Lutz) was seeing the likes of BMW and Audi making a killing with their U.S. exports and Ford wanted in. The plan was to try something different, and rather than a Ford-branded import program where Sierras would be sold alongside LTDs, Cougars and other giant American sedans, Bob wanted to do a Ford of Europe export scheme where their new car could be sold alongside other European curios like Saabs and Volvos at independent dealers under a new brand name. They settled on Merkur (the German word for mercury – pronounced “maercoor”), but they also needed a new model name as Sierra was trademarked by Oldsmobile (think: Cutlass Ciera.) Ford used the “XR” prefix to denote a variety of upgraded model trims followed by a number which corresponded to the vehicle size – which is where XR4 comes from. Add abbreviations for “turbo” and “injection” and you're off to the races! Both the Merkur and Sierra RS Cosworth were powered by versions of Ford's Pinto 4-cylinder motor. The Merkur engine could also be found in the USDM Mercury Cougar XR7, Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, and Mustang SVO. Across the pond however, the Sierra engine went to Cosworth to get an aluminum head with an extra cam. The results were clear: the XR4Ti's motor needed 13 lbs of boost to pump out 175 hp, while the Cosworth version only needed 8 psi to make 200 hp. But the Cosworth got a whole host of additional modifications beyond the engine, and the resulting package was so exceptional it wound up getting banned from racing repeatedly, until eventually the regs shut down the entire series. The chassis is so exceptional that Jason proclaims it the best sedan chassis he's ever experienced – on the same level as a Porsche Cayman GT4. Transcendent. A 9.9/10. Where "Beatrice," his extensively modified E30, only managed a mid-8 (for the same reasons that caused Sreten at M539 Restoration to drive his into a tree). The likes of the Lotus Carlton didn't even garner a 5 from either Carmudgeon. Honorable mentions go to the Maserati Quattroporte, C126 560SEC, and a handful of M products. We'll even dive into every generation of M5 – E28 through G90. Lastly, we'll learn about 80s and 90s Lexus dealership brutalism, that “light” means window, our friend Mike's transient collection of eclectic cars has graced the show at least 3 times (thanks, Mike!), superbly compliant AWD cars like the Delta Integrale and Subaru WRX are good but rarely fun, and Bob Lutz had to fight tooth and nail to get a Chevrolet dealership in NorCal to sell him a Corvair Monza.

Send us a textA serendipitous camera loan from his father changed everything for Ryan Koopmans, redirecting his path from architecture school to becoming an acclaimed lens-based artist whose work graces the pages of Vogue, GQ, and Architectural Digest. This fascinating twist of fate ultimately brought Koopmans full circle, as architecture became the primary subject of his photography for over a decade.During our conversation, Koopmans reveals the profound impact NFTs have had on his perspective as a digital photographer. "What stood out most was the whole notion of digital ownership," he explains, describing the revolutionary concept of establishing "originals" for digital works—something previously impossible for digital photographers who lacked the equivalent of a film negative. This fundamental shift, combined with the royalty structure that supports artists beyond initial sales, transformed how Koopmans views his creative output and its place in the world.Wisdom gleaned from years of artistic persistence permeates our discussion. "You gotta crawl before you ball," Koopmans shares, recounting advice from painter Nate Loman during his early days in New York. This philosophy of patience and embracing the grind resonates throughout his career journey—from grocery store produce manager to globally exhibited artist. His personal connection to peregrine falcons, which nest atop skyscrapers and represent "the perfect combination of form and function," perfectly mirrors his artistic approach to urban landscapes captured in his 2020 book "Vantage."The future holds exciting developments for Koopmans, including an immersive photogrammetry project allowing viewers to virtually step inside his photographs, and a groundbreaking collaboration with the AI artist Botto. As we discuss the evolving relationship between NFT art and traditional institutions, his optimism for the space shines through, celebrating the community of artists, collectors and enthusiasts committed to pushing the boundaries of what art can be in the digital age.Ready to experience more conversations with innovative creators?

The 6-speed swapped Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series is finally here, and Jason drove it! Derek's – or rather OTS's – OEM-grade 6-speed manual CLK63 Black Series by Kwiek Classics is done, and Jason and Derek get behind the wheel to review the car that AMG should've built all along.  Enthusiasts around the world have never had a chance to interact directly with AMG's only clean-sheet engine, the M156 – a monster 6.2L, 32-valve, DOHC, cross-plane V8 making 500 horsepower for the CLK63 Black Series. But now, thanks to Matt Kwiek at Kwiek Classics, we finally can! And it's why Derek and his business partners at OTS bought one for Matt to manual swap using OEM Mercedes-Benz parts. The swap is done, and the car is here in the Bay Area where the Carmudgeons got to row the gears in AMG's widebody beast of the noughties. By junking the recalcitrant automatic transmission, the car is transformed into the athlete its flared fenders promise it to be. Combine the manual trans with the factory triple-adjustable dampers (which feel like they're full of sand in its current track configuration, though according to Jason are magical with the settings Mercedes used at the launch event) and the CLK63 Black Series becomes a car that even the most curmudgeonly enthusiast will struggle to come up with an excuse not to buy. As familiar and confidence-inspiring as the best M cars like E36 and E46 M3, and with an engine more engaging and experiential than the likes of the E39 M5. Even better to drive than a V8 Vantage and a Lexus LFA. Unlike typical 3-pedal swaps that lend themselves to terrible throttle mapping (see: Pagani Zonda), this one is a 9 out of 10, and an easy “marry” over a plethora of Ferraris: Testarossa, 355, 550 – even a Porsche 997 GT3. After the AMG, we dive into Jason's recent dyno day at Chuckles Garage in NorCal, where Jason managed to take 3 spots on the dyno's leaderboard for least horsepower (not including Jason, who can put down 500 watts). Jason got power numbers on his E31 BMW 850CSi, the Rover SD1 3500 V8, and the Honda Beat. Plus a friend brings along a Euro-spec 850CSi for comparison. Using some Turner Motorsport chips for the dual-ECU S70 850CSi motor, in conjunction with some Ferrari 599 mufflers, Jason's CSi managed to beat the Euro car at 304 rear wheel horsepower. But even with Ferrari exhaust, the 850 still needs help in the sound department. Luckily, @czechmate_e30 is working with a fabricator to make a set of stepped headers for BMW V12s! Then, with fresh dyno numbers in hand, Jason combines the data with the power figures from the rest of his fleet, and indexes them by percentage of peak power versus percentage of peak RPM. The resulting graph provides an excellent visualization as to where and how each of his car's engines makes their power. Science! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For all the real fans of A-1 smoke, we invite you to try and keep your eyes on our three guests, who line the headstashes of connoisseurs across the nation, as the haze thickens to a dense fog by the end of the pod.Blackleaf is joined in the studio by the real underground kings of tippity-top-shelf genetics from California all the way to New York and beyond, Dustin, Urban Buddha, and The Commission of Watson Supply to discuss all things “actually smoking,” along with stories like trapping out an apartment in the Mission with a double-decker, the current state of the industry, brand building in this day and age, the mythical selection process and soil medium preferences that have brought them winners, and so much more.You'll hear Dustin delve into his journey with cultivation in NorCal that's led him to cranking some of the best small-batch herb anyone's seen these days, building the dream team with Buddha and Commission, and even consulting to referral-based clientele about how to not only maximize and optimize, but also ensure quality. Dustin proudly claims during this pod that he doesn't mind giving away the sauce or teaching people how to grow because he believes he can “give you the Jedi handbook, but that doesn't make you Luke Skywalker.”Another prominent topic throughout the episode is hunting the best genetics, the process of selecting them, and then creating the most unique and diverse artwork and designs to house the most fire herb imaginable. Dustin and the team will tell the story of their popular Cold Heat strain and how they finally mastered Z and believe that cuts of that caliber are like a Merlot, and deserve to be showcased by a number of different breeders to highlight subtle, yet incredible nuances. Countless other invaluable topics come up in this episode for anyone who's currently building, or considering building, a brand in the industry. Dustin, Buddha, and Commission cover a range of questions from Blackleaf such as what defines a “keeper,” the importance of white ash, how to decide mylars vs glass for your artisanal small-batch bud, the best ways to move from the trap into the legal market, and if purpleness even matters these days if you have the right genetics.This conversation contains not only a treasure trove of insight into demanding quality over everything, but also just how much a room gets foggy when four heavy smokers are in the room. Blackleaf specifically goes crazy over their Tropical Depression strain in this pod, which combines Z with Triangle Kush. Discover all of the fire strains contained within this episode and hit @watson.supply with a follow on IG to see all of the heat they're cooking up and keep your eyes peeled for their goods appearing on the shelves of your local legal shop soon.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with trailblazers from the culture you can't find anywhere else.

Dave is solo today with a quick update on the NorCal playoffs.  Five Marin teams remain alive in the state playoff races - the Redwood boys (D1 NorCals) and Redwood girls (D2), the Marin Catholic girls (D3), the Branson boys (D2), and the San Domenico boys (D3). Good luck to all!  Sadly no Stroke 9 musical intro and outro this episode. Dave was tempted to sing “Marin County”, but that wouldn't have ended well. For anybody.  Duffy was missed. He will bring extra energy next episode.  Content and opinions are those of Dave, Duffy and their guests and not of affiliated organizations or sponsors. email us at: theruntmcpodcast@gmail.com check out our website at: theruntmcpodcast.com Thank you to our sponsors: West End Nursery and Batiste Rhum and San Domenico Nike Summer Basketball Camps and The Hub in San Anselmo    

3rd Gen Family: Zkittlez Story, Iconic Terps, Ego Clash Tradition, Breeding WinnersIf you've ever wondered what it would've been like to be a teenager during the height of Prop 215, living in the Emerald Triangle running and gunning with legends like Jack Herer and Eddy Lepp, you can't miss a minute of the conversation with this guest.Blackleaf is joined in the studio by none other than Brandon of 3rd Gen Family Farms, Terp Hogz, Moonshine Melts, Dying Breed Seeds, and more to discuss growing up in the right place at the right time in terms of the evolution of the culture, the legend and legacies of Gas Station Bob, Overall Dave, and OGCookieMonster415, as well as his take on the creation of Original Z, the events that led to creating Ego Clash, arguably the world's premier hash competition, and where the market is currently at with predictions of the future.Brandon is not only one of the most outspoken guests we've ever had, but he is also one of the fortunate few who grew up around and learned firsthand from a lot of the legends we worship today. Originally born in LA, Brandon will unravel the story of his journey back to NorCal to his family's roots, to become a 3rd generation legacy farmer, with his mom first connecting him to Eddy Lepp and Jack Herer who lived down the street.You'll hear Brandon recall helping Eddy and Jack run their medical programs, selling whole plants to patients after they tied red ribbons around them back in veg, even advertising in the back of High Times magazine. You know, the good times.The real lore that comes to life in this pod is that of Gas Station Bob. Many have heard of this mythical figure responsible for world-famous varieties like Original Z and Rozé. Brandon dives deep into who this man is, his contributions to cultivation and breeding, and how strongly he wants nothing to do with the public eye. Among the rambunctious recollections of his past, Brandon also highlights his stake in hash making. Back when the game was rife with nothing but BHO hounds, Brandon was pushing solventless like a madman, even sweeping cups (much to the dismay of others.) He will also explain his stance on the origins of Original Z, how he believes it's a descendant of Key Lime Pie, and how he's able to visually identify real Z off the rip, and that many stopped competing in competitions once he stepped in. These events led him to create Ego Clash, the world's biggest hash competition that takes place in California and Barcelona.Crazy stories aside, Brandon lets loose a slurry of bold claims in this podcast, such as the assertion that he created Runtz, the medical vibes are dead, and if he had taken over one of Connected's early facilities there'd be no Alien Labs, and that a price surge in packs is coming, and he needs to be the one to form a high council of industry leaders to standardize quality and pricing.Love him or hate him, Brandon from 3rd Gen Family Farms is a “lifer” in this industry who's earned his legendary status over and over again, even selling untrimmed pounds of Z to Berner for $4k once upon a time. If you're a true fan of the industry and stories surrounding the plant, you will either be in stitches or on the edge of your seat for this entire episode. Tune in and try not to get your feelings hurt!Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with trailblazers from the culture you can't find anywhere else.

In his talk on dukkha (suffering), Sean Feit Oakes delves into the heart of Buddhist teachings, exploring how our habitual reactions to both pleasant and unpleasant experiences can entangle us in cycles of suffering. He emphasizes that dukkha isn't just about overt pain but also includes the subtle dissatisfaction that arises from our resistance to life's impermanence and unpredictability. By bringing mindful awareness to these patterns, Sean suggests we can begin to untangle them, fostering a deeper sense of ease and presence in our lives.​Sean outlines practical approaches to work with dukkha:​Mindful Observation: Recognize and observe our reactions to experiences without judgment, allowing us to see the underlying patterns of clinging and aversion.​Embodied Awareness: Engage in practices that connect us to bodily sensations, grounding us in the present moment and helping to dissolve the grip of suffering.​Compassionate Inquiry: Approach our experiences with kindness and curiosity, creating space for healing and transformation.​Through these methods, Sean encourages a compassionate and embodied path to understanding and alleviating dukkha, leading to greater freedom and well-being.______________Sean Feit Oakes, PhD (he/him, queer, Puerto Rican & English ancestry, living on unceded Pomo land in NorCal), teaches Buddhism and somatic practice focusing on the integration of meditation, trauma resolution, and social justice. He received teaching authorization from Jack Kornfield, and wrote his dissertation on extraordinary states in Buddhist meditation and experimental dance. He teaches at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, East Bay Meditation Center, Insight Timer, and locally.

Send us a textSeason 3 is so lit. The reality is nothing has changed but I am rocking out to all the new intro tracks. In this episode I front loaded the show with a few gems. Truth be told, I was having a great time alone. I play a fun song about finding out, which began as a tangent about AI. Apparently I'm a fat kid who likes to have fun. That's probably because I grew up during a rad time in NorCal. Hella hippie vibes bruh.

Hear firsthand how a white elephant gift exchange involved a CryptoPunk, adding a playful layer to the serious business of art collecting. Erick reveals his initial skepticism about NFTs and shares insights on the emerging concept of "fidgetals," a hybrid of physical and digital art, while emphasizing the importance of preserving digital purity.Travel back to simpler times with us as we reminisce about childhood collections, from comic cards to memorabilia, and explore how these experiences shape our understanding of digital collectibles today. Erickf and I discuss the initial hurdles and eventual embrace of digital rarity, highlighted by platforms like NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties. We'll take you through the vibrant community interactions on platforms like Discord and examine how digital art is breaking barriers, making art ownership more accessible than ever.As we look toward the future, Erick provides a visionary perspective on the intersection of digital assets with fashion and physical products, imagining a world where digital art is as accessible as picking up a print at IKEA. With a focus on balancing exclusivity and accessibility, we explore the promising potential of digital art in consumer experiences, from personalized collections to broader institutional adoption.
