Then Mitch Payton called and gave him a chance to rebuild his career at Pro Circuit Kawasaki. Nick is only 21 years old. His story is just being written. This is Nick Romano's full story.

CHAPTER 394 Ft. Wes Williams
Motocross filmmaker and Vurb Moto co-founder Wes Williams joins the Gypsy Tales Podcast for a nearly 3-hour conversation about building some of the most iconic videos the sport has ever seen. From the James Stewart helicopter shoot that became the most-watched motocross video in history, to launching Vurb Moto alongside Brent Stallo and Andrew Campo โ€” Wes has shaped how an entire generation of moto fans experience the sport. In this chapter, Wes opens up about investing every dollar he had into a film he thought would make him a million, the Red Bull projects that changed his career trajectory, filming Ryan Dungey's Homegrown and Justin Barcia's Platinum, the 2010 Motocross of Nations weekend that changed his life, and what he's building now with the Prospect App and Draft Day โ€” a sponsorship platform connecting brands directly to amateur riders based on real data and real metrics for the first time. In this episode Wes breaks down the James Stewart helicopter shoot, growing up outside of motocross, his Loretta Lynn's run, how Vurb Moto started as an online magazine people laughed at, the Art of Flight's influence on moto filmmaking, filming Malcolm Stewart's Dream Ride, Cole Seely at Zaca Station, Red Bull Imagination, MX Sports Center in 2005, and why he believes the Prospect App will change amateur motocross forever. ๐Ÿ MOTOSPORT.COM: https://www.motosport.com/?rstr=62946&ls=8vu&utm_source=roster&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=-jasonmacalpine-62946 ๐Ÿงค FIST HANDWEAR: http://www.fisthandwear.com CODE: GYPSYGANG for 15% off ๐Ÿ”ต DESTINATION YAMAHA โ€” Explore bikes, tours, and experiences: https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/destination-yamaha ๐Ÿ’ง Stay hydrated with SOTA Fuel โ€” Order yours today: https://sotafuel.com/products/sota-fuel-hydration-30-pack?variant=42103959945258 ๐Ÿ›’ Shop Gypsy Tales merch: https://us.gypsy-tales.shop/ ๐ŸŽ™ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsBGR5UR7UCyLvNbHSxisFQ ๐Ÿ“ธ FOLLOW GYPSY TALES ON INSTAGRAM: @gypsytalespodcast ๐Ÿ“ฉ Business Inquiries: [email protected] ๐Ÿ”ฅ CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:18 Welcome Wes Williams to Gypsy Tales 00:03:07 Wes's Most Impactful Shoot 00:06:40 The James Stewart Helicopter Shoot 00:17:17 Wes Williams's Loretta Lynn's Run 00:31:00 Building the Prospect App 00:43:30 Prospect App Features โ€” Draft Day 00:50:09 The Investment Behind Filming 01:06:04 How Gypsy Tales Ended Up in America 01:17:55 The Art of Flight โ€” Red Bull Movie 01:19:53 Supercross Media Has Changed 01:31:11 Complacency Gets You Beat 01:37:25 UFC Media Experience vs Supercross 01:47:56 Jase's Brand SOTA Fuel 01:49:59 This Will Change Amateur Motocross Forever 01:55:40 Shoutout Reegan Heighton 02:02:27 Gypsy Juice SOTA Fuel Taste Test 02:08:53 Filming Dream Ride Ft.

CHAPTER 393 Ft. Hunter Yoder
Hunter Yoder was an amateur phenom with his pro career laid out in front of him. A guaranteed factory deal with Geico Honda, then the team folded overnight, leaving Hunter and his family scrambling, not knowing if they'd ever reach the level they once dreamed of in Supercross and Pro Motocross. After years of rebuilding from the ground up, Hunter is now on Club MX Yamaha with Brandon Haas, Chad Reed, and Daniel Blair all pushing to get him on the podium. This is his story.
