Summary
Brandon Haas built Club MX from nothing into one of the most respected motocross training facilities in the world — then lawsuits, a rider’s death, and a fraudulent contractor nearly destroyed everything he’d built.
In Chapter 389 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast, Brandon opens up about the dark years nobody talks about: the lawsuits that almost ended Club MX, partnering with Zach Osborne, why Ken Roczen tested the ClubMX Yamaha, Chad Reed joining the program, and what it really costs to run a Supercross team.

| 0:00.0 | In Supercross, longevity is rare. |
| 0:02.6 | Championship teams aren't built overnight. |
| 0:04.9 | They're forged in the hard years, then emerge ready to win. |
| 0:08.2 | One of those stories is being written right now by ClubMX Yamaha. |
| 0:12.3 | Built from the ground up by Brandon Haas, |
| 0:14.5 | ClubMX started with a simple goal, |
| 0:16.7 | give riders a place to train, improve, and take their racing seriously. |
| 0:20.8 | I remember just having a 10 by 10 easy up promoting ClubMX the first year in my van, |
| 0:25.4 | just sleeping in my van. I didn't give a fuck, whatever. |
| 0:27.8 | So you look down there and you're like, okay, this is cool. |
| 0:30.0 | What began as a small training facility in South Carolina quickly became one of the most respected |
| 0:35.5 | training grounds in the sport. As ClubMX continued to grow, |

| 0:43.8 | them racing and compete at the highest level of Supercross. |
| 0:47.0 | These last four years have consumed me with this race team. I really want to figure this out |
| 0:50.8 | and I think I can. And even to this day we're doing it on a fraction of the budget that the guys I'm expecting to beat, we just shouldn't be doing it. With Brandon Haast leading the way and with Chad Reed and Daniel Blair guiding the Supercross program, Club MX Yamaha lines up ready to take on the factory teams. It's a fantastic story, dude. What you've created and what you've built is pretty incredible. |

| 1:18.3 | I'm at a gypsy. |
| 1:20.1 | We're on. |
