Freddie Noren and Ashton Bloxom | Squad Pod

In the seventh episode of the Squad Pod, I called up my HEP Suzuki teammate Freddie Noren. Noren is coming off of his best Supercross season of his career and he’s always strong outdoors. We get an update on racing, but we also talk about life, his career in America, out-nicing one another, and jumping in the pool at RedBud in honor of me. 
In the Squad Update portion of the show, Ashton Bloxom came on to tell his story. He’s been on the Troy Dog Squad since 2021 and made his pro debut at Fox Raceway after years of injuries. Bloxom talks about making his first 40 man gate at Thunder Valley, what it’s like adjusting to the pros, as well as what it’s like being an ELITE Athlete.

Power Rankings, Shred Tours, Future of Vurb, Justin Rodbell | Squad Pod

The Squad Pod is now a legit show! We’ve got segments! In episode 6, I debuted the GUTS Racing Vurbmoto Power Rankings. 
This week I called up Vurbmoto owner and co-founder (and my second favorite Vurb employee) Brent Stallo to get his insight into the Vurbmoto Shred Tours. The next one is THIS weekend at Lincoln Trail in Casey, IL, for the Summer Slam. We also talked about what the future of Vurb is going to look like. I’ve known Brent for 14 years now and it was cool to finally hear his voice on a pod. 
Next I called up Justin Rodbell who is about to return to racing after a torn achilles. He let me know about the year he’s had and we talked about his amateur career and of course “The Summer of Rodbell”.
