Welcome to Gear Up. I'm Emily. And I'm Kristen. And today we are here with Michaela Nilsen,

aka Moto KK. She's coming off her win at the first round of WMX at Paula. And we're super stoked

you're here today. Thank you. Thanks for having me. So we actually had Christina Denny on recently, and she was hyping you guys up.

And we're super excited to watch you guys in this WMX.

It's six rounds.

Three West Coast, three East Coast.

You guys just got done with Paula.

So tell us how that went.

Yeah, it was great.

There was a lot of, we're trying to hype it up before we came into the first round.

And, I mean, Christina is like our biggest cheerleader.

And she's like the perfect person to be putting this together for us.

So there was a lot of questions about how many women we were going to get and how well this was going to go.

And, I mean, looking back at it now, I think it couldn't have gone better with how many numbers we got, how much coverage we got, a lot of demand now for people, like, wanting to watch us.

So I think we have good momentum going into the next two, and I'm pretty excited.

Yeah, it was like a home track for me, so it was a little bit more fun on my part.

And how did you get into Modo?

Getting into Moto, my parents never raced, actually, my dad played football. My mom played volleyball.

They both went to college for that.

And then I guess my dad just kind of like got a dirt bike and just got like a little

650R.

And we just rode in the desert for whatever reason.
