John and Nick's Big Adventures: 800 Miles of Bad Decisions

This weeks show powered by Cycle Specialty and fueled by bad decisions, dehydrated meals, and questionable life choices, the boys from Winners Take Y’all got together this week to break down the upcoming Arizona adventure ride that’s somehow equal parts survival mission and motorcycle trip.
The crew is taking on the legendary Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route (AZBDR) — nearly 800 miles off-road starting near the Mexico border outside of Tucson and ending at the Utah border near Page, Arizona. Five days. Six riders. One goal: make it home with minimal emotional damage and at least half the bikes still running.
Bike lineup for the expedition:• 1 KTM 690• 1 Husky 701• 2 GasGas 700s• 2 Honda CRF300L Rallys
The KTM-based riders are embracing the rugged outdoor lifestyle and camping each night under the stars like true adventure influencers. Meanwhile, the Honda riders booked hotels every night because apparently “hard enduro” now includes continental breakfast and functioning air conditioning.
John is armed with a JetBoil burner and enough dehydrated food packets to survive a Category 4 hurricane. Outside of that, nutrition plans include gas station cuisine and whatever meals Nick can acquire after trading his body for home-cooked food somewhere in rural Arizona.
The guys also dove into route planning, bike setup, luggage systems, gear prep, fuel range concerns, survival equipment, and all the dumb ideas that somehow sound incredible once helmets are involved.
If you’re into motorcycles, adventure riding, camping, poor financial decisions, or listening to grown men confidently explain things they barely understand, this episode is for you.

Jason Thomas Tells "Back in the Day" Stories, Talks TV and More

This week, we welcomed Jason Thomas to the show! We went deep into his wild days of double-dipping back in the Supercross scene — when he raced both the 125 and 250 classes at most rounds. We hit all the classic “back in the day” stories, talked TV broadcast life, and even uncovered the truth about just how many pairs of shoes he trashes at muddy races. Call it hard-hitting journalism at its finest.
As always, swing by  and grab some gear to help us keep this party rolling.
We’ve also got big sponsor news — welcome to the crew, ! ClubMX trusts their seats, and you probably should too. More on that next episode.
Huge shoutout to  for making our site look killer — if your site needs a glow-up, hit up Buck and get it dialed.

Much love to our bros over at  and .
Enjoy the show, ya filthy animals!

Colt Nichols On Why He's Having More Fun Than Ever, His New Nickname and More

This week on Winner’s Take Y’all, we sat down with none other than Colt “Turbo”, “Sugar Boy” and possibly soon-to-be “Kickstart” Nichols (we’re still workshopping that one).
Colt came in candid, honest on where he’s at in his career right now. We got into the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Why he’s having more fun than ever, how perspective changes the game, and of course why “Kickstart Colt” might actually stick whether he likes it or not.
There were laughs. There were tears. There were moments that made absolutely no sense. In other words… a perfect WTY episode. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

From Amateur Struggles to Nashville Breakthrough Devin Simonson’s Full Story

Three-time Chili Bowl champion Devin Simonson rolled into the award-winning Winner’s Take Y’all powered by Cycle Specialty and let’s just say… it delivered.
Devin didn’t shy away from it either. He owned the rough 65cc (10–11) days at Loretta’s back in 2013, then flipped the script and walked us through his career-best ride this past weekend in Nashville. But let’s be honest—the spotlight stayed on the hardware…
Three. Chili Bowl. Championships. Yeah… THREE. (And honestly, we’re not convinced that’s the final count.)
We laughed, we learned, and we got a peek into what makes the kid tick.
If you’re vibing with what we’re cooking, go load up—shirts, hoodies, hats, the whole deal—and shipping’s on us. Hit up Winners Take Y’all website to catch every episode and grab your gear.
Huge shoutout to our guy at Buck Wild Digital Marketing. That clean site you’re cruising? Yeah… that’s him. Go get your business dialed in.

Day In the Dirt Recap and Ryan Sipes Joins the Show

Welcome back to Winners Take Y’all. The boys have been busy hitting the races — including the Daytona Supercross — and we’re fresh off a big weekend at Day In The Dirt.
John grabbed a class win, Nick brought home a 4th place (still no RV hook-up though), and Nick held down 69th place for three glorious laps during the Coup De Grace race before also snagging an Ironman award to cap off the weekend. A true grinder’s performance.
We also welcomed Ryan Sipes, who literally left Day In The Dirt at 6 am to go buy a bike so he could race later that same day. Racers race, folks. Ryan shared some great insight into riding and racing — if you want to learn from one of the best, check him out at motointelligence.com.

Jason Weigandt On the 250SX East, The Red Light District Fiasco and More

Winners Take Y’all, powered by Cycle Specialty, welcomed the voice of the sport Jason Weigandt to break down the season so far. We dove into the 250 East, Hunter Lawrence’s breakthrough win, and of course the Red Light District fiasco.
We also caught up with the guy “responsible” for the lights (not really), who claims after blowing up 500 Tuff Blocks with his mouth before every race, he’s already exhausted by the time the gate drops. Sounds like a solid excuse to us.
Grab some merch at winnerstakeyall.com — hoodies, tees, hats, all the goods — and shoutout to Buck Wild Digital Marketing for the slick new site. Much love to SEVMX and our friends at Cooterco and Bromada for the support.

We kept the brainpower rolling with Jamie from Twisted Development, who joined us mid-road-trip chaos as he preps for Daytona SX, RCSX, and Spring A Ding, because nothing says race season like fixing a van on the side of the road.
