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.
