On this installment of the Factory Backing Midweek Podcast, we sit down with Geoff Patterson, who founded Leatt Brace USA decades ago and was essentially one of the partners who put the neck brace on the map. Since then, he's created an alcohol brand, an airline sleeping aid, and most recently, the Hitch Hotel. If you've attended a West Coast Supercross in the past two years, you've probably seen the Hitch Hotel on display with the Motoconcepts Honda team. Geoff is an interesting guy and a good friend; we think you'll enjoy this conversation!

What Denver did do, however, is set us up for one hell of a series finale in Salt Lake City next weekend!

Monster Energy Supercross returned to Philadelphia for the first time since 1980 and - as expected - the event was a massive hit! In addition to the crowd turnout, the racing in both classes was unreal! From Max Anstie's hard-earned win to the spectacular Jalek Swoll and Seth Hammaker collision in the 250s, to the dominant display of riding by Jett Lawrence to Jason Anderson and Cooper Webb coming together on the last lap in the 450s, Philly was one to remember.

While the 2024 season has been relatively injury free thus far, big crashes and mayhem took down several top contenders in both classes.
