| 0:00.0 | How did a guy who never raced a dirt bike and had no connections to the industry earn his place as one of the most respected voices in the sport? Jason Wigan is a true Moto fan. Never given the chance to race as a kid, he did the next best thing. He went to races, local tracks, fence lines, wherever motocross was happening. He's like, wait, wait, wait, hold on. |
| 0:21.1 | You went to local races as a fan? |
| 0:22.8 | I'm like, yeah, is that not normal? |
| 0:24.2 | He's like, no. |
| 0:25.2 | Not chasing fame, not chasing titles, just chasing the sport. |
| 0:28.8 | What the fuck got you into dirt block? |
| 0:30.6 | What made you the guy that I just love listening to? |
| 0:34.5 | That obsession became a part, showing up weekend after weekend, learning every |
| 0:39.6 | detail. He took every opportunity he could, from flagging at local races, to calling GNCC events, |
| 0:45.8 | to earning the chance to write stories for racer X. Oh my God, I have a 1% chance of possibly |
| 0:51.7 | really doing this. There is no way in hell. |
| 0:55.7 | I'm not going to grab it with both hands. |
| 1:00.4 | Now when you turn on the TV, you hear Jason calling the biggest races in the sport. |
| 1:05.0 | Online, you'll see his work everywhere, the man behind many of the stories that shape Supercross at Racer X. |
| 1:06.8 | Weege is proof of where the love of the sport can take you when you show it. |
| 1:12.3 | Stay professional and do the world. |
| 1:15.5 | Gypsy gang, welcome back, Jason Wygant to the podcast. |
| 1:21.0 | All right, we've been working on this for a while and it's finally happening. |
| 1:25.1 | We went to Japan and we shot 100 hours with Joe Shimoda. And we are doing a premiere next Friday night the 23rd at the |
| 1:29.5 | South Coast Theatre in Laguna Beach. We are bringing this awesome project to the big screen |
| 1:35.0 | for one night only. The best part about this is Joe actually hasn't seen the finished product. |
| 1:40.6 | He'll be watching it with us and you for the very first time. |
