What's up guys? Welcome to our new podcast series, Nuts and Bolts, here on Whiskey Throttle Media,

where we'll talk to mechanics and industry folks who keep things running behind the scenes.

It's just not grips and graphics anymore if you're doing it right.

These guys act as sports psychologists, coaches, motivational speakers, training partners.

They're also embedded in the sport deeper than anybody else, so they

definitely have some stories. I want to give a shout out to our sponsors who make it happen for us,

racetech, motosport.com, and speedstrap, tie downs, and toe straps. Welcome to episode one of

nuts and bolts. We're here today with Rockstar Energy, Gas Gas, Factory Racing Mechanic,

Jake Isaac. What's going on? Jake. How are you, man? I'm doing good. Thank you for having me.

Yeah, man. I'm stoked to have you on. This is a new series that we're doing here at Whiskey Threatle Media.

We want to talk to the mechanics and get, you know, just similar to the unsung heroes of the sport, an opportunity to, you know, get on

and have a platform to kind of tell us about, you know, your work as a mechanic, because I'm

sure a lot of the things that you do, people don't see, you know, we see the bike, we see

the rider, but they don't know the mechanic behind the bike. So I'm stoked to have you on.

And yeah, man, I'm excited for the series i think i think people will be interested to hear all about what you guys do absolutely i mean when i was getting into this and

and found my passion for it i was always i was looking for any resource any mechanical resource

just for mechanics talking about how they got there yeah all the way to what they do on their day to day.

I was just that interested kid that wanted to learn as much as I could about it.

Yeah, that's awesome.

Before we get too far into it, go ahead and just give us a little background about yourself

for those out there who aren't familiar with you.

Where are you from?
