| 0:00.0 | For some riders, the dream of becoming a professional supercross racer feels almost certain. |
| 0:05.3 | The path into the professional ranks already laid out ahead. |
| 0:09.0 | For Hunter Yoda, that was once the story. Hunter grinded through the amateur ranks, |
| 0:13.7 | winning everything there was to win. That success led to a deal with Glico Honda as an amateur, |
| 0:19.1 | racing the iconic CRF 150R, with what looked like |
| 0:23.1 | a clear future waiting for him in the pros. |
| 0:26.0 | Everything was lined up until it wasn't. |
| 0:28.4 | I was in the office negotiating a pro contract, and we had that all laid out right in front |
| 0:32.9 | of me, and then for it to get taken away, like, it put me in a dark spot. |

| 1:00.0 | I would say up until probably two or three years ago it affected me. |
| 1:03.5 | It was like, okay, Geico shut down, now what's my next step? |
| 1:06.6 | After years of grinding it out as a privateer, he earned his place with ClubMX Yamaha, putting everything |
| 1:12.0 | on the line to make the dream real again. Delivering results for the team and earning a contract |
| 1:17.6 | extension with Club MX, the first real security he's had since Guico Honda. I just want to let you |
