CHAPTER 402 Ft. Olly Stone

from Gypsy Tales

Olly Stone grew up in Europe obsessing over motocross mechanics — not riding, wrenching. He taught himself on two-strokes, polished his spokes at 3am watching GPs from Japan and Australia, and eventually earned his way to America. Pro Circuit. Justin Barcia. Austin Faulkner. Then team principal of the Troy Lee Designs GasGas program — until KTM pulled the budget overnight and ten years of work disappeared with a phone call.Now he's back. New team. New facility. And it's moving faster than even he expected.In Chapter 402, Olly breaks down what it actually takes to survive as a European mechanic in American moto, what made Mitch Payton's Pro Circuit the standard for everyone else, the brutal reality of how factory programs end, and the new program he's building from scratch — including a shop in Corona and a riding facility in Florida that's already turning heads.Enjoy Chapter 402 — like, subscribe, and drop a comment below.IN THIS CHAPTERWrenching at Pro Circuit under Mitch PaytonWorking with Justin Barcia and Austin FaulknerTroy Lee Designs GasGas team principal — and how KTM ended itHaiden Deegan vs Austin Forkner at the test trackBuilding a new Supercross team from the ground up in 202600:00:00 Intro00:02:35 Welcome Olly Stone00:03:31 How Olly Found a Career in Motocross00:18:26 Cash App Ad00:20:04 The English Built Dirt Bike00:32:04 MXGP has no rules00:33:06 Ducati Doesn't get enough Credit00:37:58 Betting Everything on MXGP00:53:40 The Grind of MXGP01:03:38 The Work Culture at Pro Circuit01:10:01 SOTA Fuel Ad01:10:40 Olly's first job at Pro Circuit01:17:14:23 Early Days Working for Pro Circuit Kawasaki01:26:43 Mitch Paytons Drive to Win01:31:34 Cooper Webb VS Tyler Bowers01:33:32 Working for Prime Austin Forkner01:43:55 Austin Forkner was faster than Ricky Carmichael01:48:58 Deegan Couldn't beat Austin Forkner01:50:57 Motosport Ad01:52:47 What was Austin Forkner Missing?02:00:02 Why Everyone Love's Dean Wilson02:02:17 Why Olly Left Pro Circuit Kawasaki02:05:12 Justin Barcia Destroy's Equipment!02:09:35 Why Racers love Broken in Bikes02:10:46 Becoming Crew Chef of Troy Lee Designs GasGas02:16:08 Forced to Leave Troy Lee Designs GasGas02:27:32 Why MX6 Racing is so successful02:29:35 MX6 Racing's Breakout Supercross Season02:37:43 Fist Handwear Ad02:39:08 Privateer Riders on a "Factory" Program02:43:48 Building a Top 5 Supercross Team02:51:41 Buying Justin Barcia's Property02:54:18 The Cost of Running a Supercross Team03:09:24 From Factory to Privateer03:14:03 Closing💵 CASH APPKeep your money secureUse code SECURE10https://cash.app/ Stay Hydrated💧 Order SOTA Fuel https://sotafuel.com/products/sota-fuel-hydration-30-pack?variant=42103959945258🏍 MOTOSPORT.COM: https://www.motosport.com/?rstr=62946&ls=8vu&utm_source=roster&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=-jasonmacalpine-62946🧤 FIST HANDWEAR: http://www.fisthandwear.com CODE: GYPSYGANG for 15% off🛒 Shop Gypsy Tales merch: https://us.gypsy-tales.shop/🎙 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@gypsytalespodcast?sub_confirmation=1🎬 Watch more clips: https://www.youtube.com/@GYPSYTALES📸 FOLLOW GYPSY TALES ON INSTAGRAM: @gypsytalespodcastListen on Spotify/Apple → https://pod.link/1335551721💼 Business inquiries: [email protected]#GypsyTales #Motocross #Supercross #PodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tales Of A Superstar DJ The Insomniac Spun seemingly out of nowhere from her complacent life in the corporate world, turned seemingly overnight from 16-Hour shift work and into the life of a literally starving artist and working musician, The Protagonist navigates her supposed rise to fame and superstardom on a journey through spiritual awakening, coming-of-age, and intimate self-realization--guided by an omnipresent force and equipped with the power of love, magic, and music. {Enter The Multiverse.} [The Festival Project] The Festival Project, Inc.™ is a multidimensional multimedia platform which encompasses exploratory and artistic social personifications and expressions on cosmic theory, spirituality, growth, health & wellness, philosophy and theoretic dynamics in entertainment such as music, design, film, television, radio, dance and festival culture, art, fashion, literature, and science.

Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit Sailing Stories 59 North, Ltd. Tales from the high seas, told week by week. Hosted by Lee Cumberland & Andy Schell.
