Motocross filmmaker and Vurb Moto co-founder Wes Williams joins the Gypsy Tales Podcast for a nearly 3-hour conversation about building some of the most iconic videos the sport has ever seen. From the James Stewart helicopter shoot that became the most-watched motocross video in history, to launching Vurb Moto alongside Brent Stallo and Andrew Campo — Wes has shaped how an entire generation of moto fans experience the sport.

In this chapter, Wes opens up about investing every dollar he had into a film he thought would make him a million, the Red Bull projects that changed his career trajectory, filming Ryan Dungey's Homegrown and Justin Barcia's Platinum, the 2010 Motocross of Nations weekend that changed his life, and what he's building now with the Prospect App and Draft Day — a sponsorship platform connecting brands directly to amateur riders based on real data and real metrics for the first time.

In this episode Wes breaks down the James Stewart helicopter shoot, growing up outside of motocross, his Loretta Lynn's run, how Vurb Moto started as an online magazine people laughed at, the Art of Flight's influence on moto filmmaking, filming Malcolm Stewart's Dream Ride, Cole Seely at Zaca Station, Red Bull Imagination, MX Sports Center in 2005, and why he believes the Prospect App will change amateur motocross forever.

Hunter Yoder was an amateur phenom with his pro career laid out in front of him. A guaranteed factory deal with Geico Honda, then the team folded overnight, leaving Hunter and his family scrambling, not knowing if they'd ever reach the level they once dreamed of in Supercross and Pro Motocross. After years of rebuilding from the ground up, Hunter is now on Club MX Yamaha with Brandon Haas, Chad Reed, and Daniel Blair all pushing to get him on the podium. This is his story.

Brandon Haas built Club MX from nothing into one of the most respected motocross training facilities in the world — then lawsuits, a rider’s death, and a fraudulent contractor nearly destroyed everything he’d built.

In Chapter 389 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast, Brandon opens up about the dark years nobody talks about: the lawsuits that almost ended Club MX, partnering with Zach Osborne, why Ken Roczen tested the ClubMX Yamaha, Chad Reed joining the program, and what it really costs to run a Supercross team.

Gary "The Professor" Bailey — the godfather of American motocross coaching — joins the Gypsy Tales Podcast for over 3 hours.

Gary was the first American to beat European riders in motocross (1969), designed the original Daytona Supercross track, built the very first supercross courses at Ascot Park, Houston & Dallas, and founded America's first motocross school. Over 55 years he's coached Travis Pastrana, Cooper Webb, David Bailey, Damon Bradshaw, Ryan Dungey, and countless others.

In this episode Gary breaks down Jett Lawrence's riding technique, whether Haiden Deegan should've moved to 450s already, Eli Tomac on KTM, what made Travis Pastrana untouchable in the whoops, an unheard Ryan Dungey story, the Evel Knievel era, and his 2026 Supercross predictions.
