Welcome to the Racer X Canada podcast show starring me, Steve Mathis,

and also starring the complete line of 2008, Shift Gear, Shift, the choice is yours.

Check them out on the web at shiftracing.ca, and please pretend that you're Brock Heppler's Gear Guy,

and you have to order enough gear to get Brock through the whole year.

I keep forgetting to say this, but this podcast and all of the previous podcasts are available on iTunes for your downloading pleasure.

This week we have Parts Unlimited's Rocket Rob Bidus on, and I enjoyed this chat as Rob and I are buddies and I enjoy hanging out with this guy whenever I can.

He's been around a long time and seen and done a lot, and when I first started at Parts Unlimited, he really helped me to navigate the company landmines

and steered me in the right direction.

Now, of course, it only lasted two years there,

so it's debatable just how much wisdom he actually did pass onto me,

but anyways, just kidding.

He's a guy that's got pit bike race into the top,

and even big boys on little bikes really capture his heart.

He's been a long-time champion for the mini bike crowd, and he's even managed to get Live Nation

to give him the keys to the mini-bike show that take place at 6 o'clock before each Supercross start.

He's gotten Travis Mastrana, Ryan Villipotro's brother, Sweet Lou Lopez, Andy Gusson, Victor Sheldon, you name it, Rob can draw in the stars.

There's not too many people in the pits that really know more stats and more trivia from the old days than myself, but Davy Coombs and Rocket Robb both keep me on my toes.

Rob has found a way to give back to the fans and to the old retired riders by organizing the Legends lap at three outdoor nationals this past year.

He spearheaded the project, it was his baby, and you'll soon hear why he felt so strongly about getting it out there and showing it to the fans.

This is a good show, and I'm pumped that Rob wanted to help me out with this.

Maybe one day we'll even get Dutchie on as well.

Thanks to Shift, thanks to RacerX Canada, and may I present to you, Parts Unlimited, Rocket Rob Bidus.
