Summary

Jerry Robin joins us for Chapter 354! Jerry’s journey to pro motocross and supercross has been as unconventional as it gets. From sleeping on couches to working construction—and racing Loretta Lynn’s on a 1985 CR250— his story is proof you can make it as a Supercross racer no matter where you come from. In this episode, we finally settle the privateer debate, dive into Jerry’s wild path to the pros, and of course, do a little bench racing along the way.
