episode Dirti Talk #3 - Jeff Perrett cover

Description

In this episode of Dirti Talk, we sit down with Jeff Perret — a rider whose life has been shaped by motocross from the moment he first twisted a throttle. Jeff takes us right back to the beginning: growing up in the early 80s, learning to ride in the back garden, racing alongside his brothers, and being supported by a family that fully committed to the sport. From his first races as a kid to winning nationals, competing in British Championships, and eventually racing Grand Prix events across Europe, Jeff shares what it was really like coming up through motocross without a factory safety net. We dive into the realities of privateer GP racing, family-run race programs, and what it meant to be sponsored by Animal at the height of their influence — becoming the face of motocross for a major high-street brand. Jeff also opens up about loss, resilience, and how motocross became more than competition — it became identity, community, and purpose. This is a conversation about riding for the love of it, doing things your own way, and why the feeling of being on a bike still matters more than the results sheet. If you care about motocross culture, grit, and real stories from the sport — this one’s for you.
