Summary
Mohammed Al Balooshi is one of the pioneers of two-wheeled racing in the United Arab Emirates and the first guest from our new venture here in Dubai. Balooshi was the first Red Bull athlete, signed way back in 2023, has competed in 6 Dakar Rally's and is the found of the MX Academy and MXRide Duabi. Mohammed was one of the first people I met while I was here in Dubai and it is only fitting that he is the first guest from the UAE. A true trail blazer in every sense of the world, he has had one of the most unique journeys to professional racing I have ever heard.

| 0:00.0 | What is up, Gypsy Gang? We're back. We're finally back. Massive apologies for the hiatus. |
| 0:10.4 | As some of you may know, we've made the move over to Dubai and a little bit challenging to get |
| 0:16.8 | things up off the ground over here. So that was why we've had a little bit of a delay. |
| 0:23.4 | But we've started rolling. We've started recording some shows. And yeah, I think things are |
| 0:29.0 | back on track. So today's episode is with one of the first people that I met over here. He was |
| 0:37.1 | the United Arab Emirates, first ever |
| 0:39.8 | Red Bull athlete. He got signed in 2003. And so that makes 20 years of being a Red Bull athlete |
| 0:47.7 | over here. He's one of the, probably the best ambassadors for two-wheeled motorsports in all of the United Arab Emirates. |
| 0:56.4 | And he has, he's won a Baja World Championship. |
| 1:00.0 | He's a big desert guy. |

| 1:04.5 | But I guess more than just an athlete, he's a guy that has really, he's really done a massive job in cultivating |
| 1:14.5 | the scene here. He runs the MX Academy, which teaches people how to ride. And then he also has |
| 1:20.8 | MX ride Dubai, which is a pretty incredible facility, seven kilometer sand track, like 30 minutes from the city in Dubai. |
| 1:29.5 | And that's where I've been doing a bit of riding. |
| 1:32.4 | And yeah, he's just a, he's one of those kind of guys that just really makes, makes it happen. |
| 1:38.4 | So I really wanted Muhammad to be the first guest on the Gypsy Tales podcast now that we are based |
| 1:47.0 | out of Dubai. |
| 1:48.9 | And this was a really, really cool podcast. |
| 1:51.0 | He's just lived a crazy life and we talk about it a bunch in there, but the UAE is only |
| 1:57.3 | 50 years old. |
| 2:00.1 | And I mean, so yeah, it's like six years older than Belushi. |
