Ep7. That Rivalries Episode

In Episode 7 of Against The Rot, Tommy and Dean go deep on the moments and rivalries that shaped motocross and supercross on and off the track. Dean opens up about clawing back from double ACLs as a privateer to that life-changing call from Husqvarna, nearly nabbing A1, and why “smart” beats “aggressive.” We relive McGrath’s showman era, James “Bubba” Stewart redefining jumping with the scrub, and Stefan Everts’ standing-on-the-pegs masterclass—plus the all-timer clashes: Reed vs Stewart and Everts vs Tortelli. We also hit modern storylines (Jet Lawrence, Eli Tomac, Hayden Deegan), whether social media helps or hurts the sport, and a rapid-fire round on fuel injection, setup vs skill, riding in the rain, “beef,” and if tracks are getting too safe. If you love MX/SX history, technique, and unfiltered racer perspective, this is your episode
