- Jason Weigandt is for me the voice of Motocross. For 2024 he finally gets his chance to step into the booth during Supercross, and it makes an epic season just that touch bit sweeter. I planned to get a lot into Weige's back story, tell some stories from his 20+ year career, but that is going to have to wait for the next one! We spent 4 hours solving all of the real and imaginary problems of Supercross and it was unreal.
Before we get into this episode though, I wanted to share with you some awesome news regarding our first ever race, the Gypsy Tales 500.
Vurbmoto and Gypsy Tales are putting on an 8hr Grand Prix style event in Mesquite, NV. Using one of Gypsy’s favorite events, Australia’s Transmoto series, as inspiration, this will be an 8hr team or solo (for the Savages) race with your boys (or girls). The course will consist of a tamed down moto track and off-road loop, averaging 20 min lap times. The goal? Have fun, kick some beers and race your buddies. It’s worth noting this is a 125cc and Up race, no mini bikes allowed.
As far as the course goes, it will be part moto, part off-road - Sunday’s loop will be a unique course with an average lap time of 20 minutes. The loop will include terrain for the average rider along with a tamed down motocross track with no mandatory jumps. Again, this is a vibe race and will be built for all rider disciplines.

I could listen to these two dudes talk moto for weeks on end. Good shit
Lets goooooo!
@@gypsytalespodcast9369can we get a part 2 and 3 with weege, great listen
Great show love it
@@gypsytalespodcast9369 "Top shelf..." totally agree with you. Glad people are seeing it/ saying it before he's gone.
@@gypsytalespodcast9369curious you said you don’t read the comments, so who loves the comments? 😅
Jason deserves to call Supercross. He’s paid his dues and does an amazing job , his energy and passion is second to none!
He’s way better than the current guys
He's definitely better than car, Michael.
The fact it took him 10 years to get in the door says everything. Ralph Shaheen was awful. Todd Harris cookie cutter.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I wish DB was coming back though. A Weege and DB announcer team would be amazing.
Jason needs to be a reoccurring guest. You guys are both under appreciated
At first I’m like “oh shit 4 hours 😮” but after the first 30 minutes I’m glad I have a lot more to look forward to 👍 thank you Gypsy Tales
Jason needs to be on way more often. Dude is a bottomless pit of knowledge.
The thing i love about this is how clear it is that Jason is an overall fan of the podcast. The amount of callbacks he had was wild for a guest to have.
Weigandt is an absolute legend, enjoy listening to the bloke talk for hours about any sport. Loved this episode
Absolute amazing podcast! Having Weege on the podcast is too good! Thank you for this gift of a show.
Cannot wait for A1 and for Jett to get challenged by Tomac and Sexton.
Dude, best episode ever. Hands down. You and Weege have such a natural back and forth and it’s so refreshing to listen to. Combined with both of your knowledge of the industry, *chefs kiss* keep killin’ it Jase🤙
**also, you need to have Weege on at the halfway point of the SX season if possible. Or be a regular guest on the podcast
Now that I am here more I will 100% be getting Weige on during the season for more!
I have to comment, almost an hour in and I am so happy is a 4 hour show! Couldn’t wait since the 8 minutes teaser about Eli! I am enjoying this so much! A1 around the corner! Love this convo.
Jase, Jason was great! But your ideas for the sport… wow! Love them! You need to get involved, now I can’t watch a race without thinking I want mics!
Agreed!
I love that Jase is always thinking of ideas to try and make the sport better. It starts conversations and at least gets people to think about changes. I always enjoy the pods with Weege. I could listen to you guys talk about moto all day
Jason is the man. I hope he's at the supercross races this year. The man knows his shit.
He has just announced he will be in the booth this year!!
Wait ...WHAT
He did race day live all last year
@@davidrapp485 Yes 10 races
Jason’s commentary has got a lot better. I remember when he first started he would do this stoner giggle laugh after everything he said 😂 it drove me nuts
4 hours? Alright looks like I'm not getting anything done today 🤣
Jason’s got a great voice for announcing and after this podcast I had no clue how cool of a dude he is. Can’t wait to listen in this Saturday!!
The same way these 2 can sit here and talk for 4 plus hrs I can listen to them for that same amount of time easily. Man I love this sport!!!!!
I looked and saw 4+ hours!!! And then I started listening to two guys that are just like me. I’m too old now, but dirt bikes were my first love and this is the best episode of Gypsy Tales EVER!
Jason is a true icon for the sport his voice has captured amazing races like no other.
Weege is such a staple in this sport that you can almost take him granted. No hate on Ricky or Stewart but could you imagine how lost they would be without Weege. He is the voice of motocross, idk if you can even put value on that. He's that important to this sport.
Well yeah obviously. Weege is the play by play guy while Ricky and stew are the expert analysts guys that offer a view from guys who have actually been there and done that.
@@theread3480 yeah I agree, it kinda goes back to the conversation, I mean how much can you train someone to be that good at what Weege does, at the end of the day there's just a talent there. Pretty cool, I think we're lucky he found mx and vice versa.
Love the podcasts. The Privateer things a bit wild. That’s what makes our sport so great. They are also spending the money to get there whether they get in or not. They are the ones also spending tons at training facilities etc. it’s all part of the sport. Privateers are one of the coolest things in our sport hand down. Privateers & LCQ’s are a MASSIVE part of Supercross 🇺🇸
I completely agree. I love watching dudes like Clayson battle for the final LCQ spot almost as much as I love watching Tomac run down sexton for the lead. Watching a race for position, no matter the position, it’s great.
I agree, it shows its achievable for those who don't spend thousands at a training camp
I disagree, Privateers are holding the sport back imo
I have so much more respect for Jason Weingandt since this interview. This was a great interview with Jase Macalpine. I love JW's work. I hope he is on "Gypsy Tales" a lot more during each season.
Oregon here....We love both these guys. And this was some fresh perspective.
I saved this for having to come into work on a Saturday morning. It's not disappointing, I could listen to you guys talk motorsports all day. Thanks for the cast, it's saving my morning.
Think this is my favorite episode of the show. Weigandt is the man I really enjoyed him in the booth for A1 looking forward to the rest of the season!
Can't believe I listen to this whole thing. These guys are awesome.
I can’t wait for this season! 5 days to go!!!
Dude this was a beautiful listen!!.
Please try bring Jason on at least once a year on the podcast 👌👌. I could listen to you 2 forever!
Much love to you all from Scotland 😎❤️🤙
What an EXCELLENT way to start the week countdown to A1 ❤
Love when Weedge is on here!! Its good to hear you two talk about the sport and life and not care who it bothers. Respect!!
Wow, I'm amazed that four hours of podcast could keep me pinned to the screen. That was good. I love that there are people thinking about how to grow moto. I love that there are people communicating about moto to the largest possible audience. Jason and JT are really moving the ball forward on TV. Catch that wave!
This is the BEST interview I've ever seen on explaining why this sport is what it is. Especially when you guys discussed the feelings we get when riding and also in which other sport can a fan that rides can race on a professional track such as DAYTONA AMATEUR DAY!
Love this podcast. Two of the biggest voices in the modern era of MX/SX racing, just having a great sit-down chat about today's racing. Love it. Hate to say, but you really need to do one with Steve Mathes. That may make for some wild conversation. Davey Coombs and Dave Prator are two others I think would be really great to have on the show also.
Mathis is a moron
Wedge’s Roger impression at 1:16:00 is spot on 😂 cracked me up. Great episode Jase!
After watching some of the older Supercross races I wouldn't mind seeing Semi-qualifiers come back.
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to (period).
Jason has really grown on me the last few years I respect the passion for the sport
Jason is a really good dude. His passion is contagious and you definitely know when somthing exciting has happened he gets so excited. Love listening to him call Supercross or motocross both are awesome
Moto gods gave us Jason Weigandt, dude has been nerding out on Moto since he was crawling. Great asset to the sport.
1 of the best yet! I would love to see Jase in the broadcast booth with Weege and Bubba! Keep it up Jase!!👊
Some of the best moto content I have seen in a very long time. Thanks to both of you guys.
I just started listening to Gypsy Tales early of 2023, Truly Great ! Dedicated Canadian fan !
Hell ya! Great show! Weege is the man. So stoked to listen to him this supercross season. Keep grinding fellas
Banger of a first pod of the new year! Brova gentleman 👏 👌 🙌 I could listen to this banter for days on end, I love it, these things need to be spoken about
Got to disagree with the rise of the UFC was The Ultimate fighter on Spike TV & then the fights were also on Spike TV except for the Big Time title events were pay-per-view
Amen on that. UFC was in a rough place until TUF in 2005.
Bro! I've been excited for this podcast and you two did not disappoint! My #1 episode to date thank you!!
What makes this so good is these guys just love supercross. They're pumped to talk about it for 4 hours.
Gypsy tales is the best pod cast for two wheel racing. And Jason is the fucking man. He deserves all the recognition. He’s the voice of motocross and should be calling supercross.
Weege is awesome. I used to hear people trash the guy in the past but I think he's starting to get his well deserved respect. This was a great episode. So much cool knowledge and insight. The AMA and the manufacturers should take note and start listening to people like these two. I love this sport so much and these two make it better.
That was probably one of the best shows I’ve heard if not top 3, great stuff
Weege is the man . Great interview. Some really interesting points.
I'm.glad the riders personalities are coming back I to it. I watched the life get sucked out of James Stewart in his interviews over the years by factory rules. I've heard for year and years we need to make the sport bigger. But do we really ? Isn't it just great how it is. Production (kind of) bikes that us public can buy them and also we can have a cracking at supercross if we get good enough. I think the appeal of motocross is how grass roots it is. It's awesome that the riders earn millions but only the fans know and they can walk trough an airport. That's what's great. I don't think things need more change. What's the benefit of bigger. Great interview. So much passion for motocross 🤟🏻 braaaap
Absolutely one of the best moto conversations to date. Also, as a Sexton fan, it was cool to have him talked about and referenced way more than normal. I actually keep track of how many times names/topics are mentioned, drinking game for the races. And it always blows my mind how much they focus on Eli and Jett. Jett even called them out last year for interviewing him instead of the winner in one of the races last year.
Two knowledgeable dudes feeding off one another. Good stuff
I think it’d actually pretty dope if they kept stats on each riders earnings so when they introduced them to new/normal peeps, they’d know who the big dawgs were. Like they do in Rodeo. “He’s a 10 million dollar supercross rider”! I can see it.
Great podcast. You are the Rogan of MX. Thank you! I still question how this sport is not more popular. This discussion broadened my understanding. Glad y’all are talking about it.
It's the ju jitsu isn't it...
It’s crazy how excited these guys are about dirt bikes. Like you can feel it. Unbelievable episode! Great job 🙌🏽
Gypsy gang is the SHIT , making weege speak on everything love it
Jason W is the voice of the fans. The best part is he’s not an ex-racer like the bulk of the fan base. Just casual riders or not even riders at all. You can see how he’s just a super fan of the sport.
hope one day we get a Tomac / Gypsy podcast one day. that would be amazing! loved this one with weege!
It will happen
They should just give the keys to both to Weege his knowledge ,passion ,love for sx / mx is bar none. He has all the enthusiasm that all us hardcore fans have
You 2 are so off the chart great Moto info together 👍👍 awesome show happy new year🎉
Jason is also an interesting philosopher I reckon.🤔 I raced back,way back,but that was the best 4hr Moto UA-cam, of Just 2 very talented Story tellers I've watched.Thanks.🎉⚡
3:36:00 - Feld owns the rider radios and distributes them to everybody who makes the night show. They also hire an A.V. guy to maintain the radios and also make sure the mics work for the press conference afterward.
Mate- one of your best pods yet. 4 hrs flew right by!
Great pod.
I could’ve listened to another 4 hours of this! 👏🏼
The privateer is part of that relatability factor y’all were talking about. Can’t get rid of them, give them a shot. It’s cool to see your local hero make a main or even make the night show. That’s the maybe “delusional” relatability y’all were talking about
The long awaited pod cast and didn’t disappoint 😂
Watched the full 4 hours, I have never watched or listened to any podcast longer than an hour.....
Love the conversation, the insight and the depth. Always been a fan of Weege and his perspective. Great pod Gypsey Gang
Glad you enjoyed it!
mine 2 favorite media guys, they need to have a show together
As a fan of MMA and MX, you nailed it spot on with the analogy of Weege and Helwani.
Great episode, two dudes that need to have their voice heard to move the sport forward.
The two biggest fans of Dirtbikes in the same room for 4 hours?! Sign me up!!!!
Epic stuff! best sport ever..
What a guestlist this year! greetings from the Netherlands! keep 'm coming!
Great video! Talking about things I never would of thought about. I would so be down for more audio during the races like they do in other motorsports, that be sick.
Also just wise words and motivating for me personally tryin to achieve my own goals..translates well. 4 hrs well spent ready for A1!!!
#letsgoKenny
Love the show, bought a 350sxf because of you! Agree with so much minus the privateer discussion. Just knowing that it's possible for local dude to go down to Indy and make a heat race with the big boys is so freaking awesome and what I have always loved about moto. Definetely agree with having some lower classes running series tho. More racing the better. You the man J🍺
You guys are absolute GEEEEEKS bro love it
HA this is really accurate!
Does the sport have fans that don’t ride? MX is a big community but very small at the same time
Yeah big shout out to Jason Weigandt well done richly deserved
Good stuff and hats of to the wedge from being a flagwr at my home track to where he is now 🙌
This one's gonna be hard to top bro! Incredible!!!. You need to get him on more often 😁🤘💯🔥
Yeah I’m a big fan of Jason. I’ve been in and out on Gypsy Tales but this was 10/10. Nice one.
Best interview I’ve ever heard! Thank you!!!!
Great talk! There’s a crazy dichotomy between relating to moto because I can buy the same stock bike each season, but we simultaneously in our subconscious acknowledge and deny that I also buy the nicest trumpet, and I’ll never sound 2% as good as Miles Davis. 😂
I think the radios are an excellent idea.
For cost, you have the factory teams buy them, but also have some owned by the feld and then rent them to the privateers per race.
With the ability of teams AND officials to talk to the rider, the rider to talk back, the broadcast to hear and broadcast all the chatter, it makes the race safer with better spotting, adds/shows more personality of the riders to fans, and can help build storytelling with the race and all the after shows.
Add the helmet cams for the personal view of the rider and its spectacular entertainment value.
They do this in F1, Nascar, etc and it only adds. It never makes it worse.
Great bench race interview, Well done to you both.
The best Announcer since Ralph Sheheen. He makes the Supercross and Motocross better. He is the voice of Moto in the 2000"s
Bangger of a EP you have to do it again next year!
this is gunna be one of the best podcasts tuning in now
This podcast is going to save me through a boring shift that worked today
20 minutes in, man you guys hit the nail on the head, so good…
In sprint car racing we use raceceivers they are literally $150 buck 1 way radios. They are used from 5 year olds first track day to the tippy top of the sport. You can definitely start there.
I’ve been a huge fan of Weege since I first saw him at gncc’s announcing. He’s the man! 👍🏻
I think there should be an age or year limit on 250 class. 5 year maximum and mandatory move up to 450
59:52..Absolutely, Weeg. I don't want to lose the grass roots connection
We need more weege talked to him at dilla quick what a dude. Jace you have the best podcast on youtube hands down.
I don't know how much you'll earn with this episode but I hope it's a lot. The last 45 minutes of this was probably the most important and thought provoking conversation, in terms of change and growth of the sport I've ever heard. I'm a nobody. But the Marty Tripes won the first Supercross race that I went to. And I've been going ever since. Watch every race. Have multiple decades of this on VHS. The DVR has the last five seasons of indoor and outdoor races on it. I listen to all the content I can find. Whether I agree or disagree with the host, I'm going back to hear their perspectives. I'm a fan of dirt racing. You guys just may have turned professional dirt bike racing on it ear. Absolute gold. Thank you you.
No problem bringing up Jujitsu. You are genuine and that brings a more human aspect to a cookie cutter media platform ✊
Thanks mate
This is an amazing podcast! Loved their conversation
both of these guys know more then I ever will....lol great podcast
Best one yet man. You and weege are those guys
I've been out of the loop for years. So just to check myself I watched 05 and 06 highlights outdoor. Rick had everyone's metal. Say'n.
The points you guys made about the connection to the enthusiast is a great point. Moto is expensive, but it is still achievable to the lay person. I think you guys are right, what other motorsport can you get into for a few thousand dollars.
