TORQ MOTO - Kurt Nicoll - Motocross confessions from 1994!

Kurt’s Confessions This week’s Torq Moto Podcast Show driven by Talon sees yet another big hitter of 80’s and 90’s British motocross joining US - DocWob and ‘Jeffro’ Perrett. Kurt Nicoll calls into Torq Moto HQ for a candid chat on his brilliant MX career, with this being the first of a two-part interview.  Nicoll’s MX racing career has been a fascinating one, and he’s still very much involved with the sport. Now residing in California running his ‘Champion MX California Vacations’ business to great effect offering dirt bike experiences on some iconic tracks. In this first episode the trio go back to the very beginning and discuss how Nicoll got started in the sport, which was always likely to happen with his dad Dave being a MXGP racer. He talks about how he found himself on a 500cc bike at an early age and never really looked back. Something he doesn’t like to do too much, but in this case, we prompted him and it was a bit of an eye opener!  There’s several moments like that during the interview that he really opens up on his career and you’ll get to see the real Kurt Nicoll and not the one that was 'there for business’ back in the day as he puts it. From coming back from a badly broken leg that nearly finished his career before it really had a chance to flourish to discussing those ‘Bridesmaid’ moments where he came so close to winning that elusive world title multiple times and his healthy rivalry with Dave Thorpe.
