Give it up for these guys

I've been pretty lucky to travel around with these guys and experience first hand the struggles true privateers endure week in and week out. My videos only show a small percentage of what Derek and Tucker actually go through. I just want to say I'm super proud of what these guys have accomplished this season and I'm blessed to have them as two of my best friends. For those of you that will be at Elsinore, make sure to find us and give these guys some high fives! We wont be in the motorhome. She broke down on the way home from PA and we will be in Tuckers white sprinter van. Thanks for watching, only two episodes left.

This is the best moto video series out!
I'm having trouble putting it into words, but the emotion and heart just pour out of Tucker and Derek and through my computer monitor. I feel like I'm living it with them each episode going through all the highs and lows that they are. It's quite addicting.

Thanks for the videos and I look forward to meeting you all at Lake Elsinore!

The boys have definitely been through some ups and downs. Looks like Derek will probably be rockin a 2 digit number next season though, which is awesome, and tucker has been getting faster and faster since I was racing 125 Novice with him back in probably 03 or 04. It would definitely be great to see them both pick up some additional support for next season.

This series has been so epic. You guy's have done an amazing job. The emotion that you guy's have been able to capture is truly awesome. You all should be extremely proud of what you've accomplished this year. I hope you're able to continue this series next year. Once again, great job.

I gotta say.....this video series is one of the best I have ever seen ( the few I have watched ). Shows what a true privateer has to go through week in and week out. It's a struggle to say the least. Good job Derek and Tucker for keeping things real! Keep plucking away!

Very cool. The one kid showed some real emotion when he had to quit that moto. Its a telling moment, not everyone judges their success by wins and championship's. Those two are all there giving their all, no matter what position they are in, doing what they love. Never caught this series before. Where can I find the rest of the episodes? You tube?

I love watching these videos too.

Just one question tho. Would these guys be considered normal privateers in the states? I don't ask this in a bad way, its just that they would be would be a top privateer team Down Under with all the help they are getting from sponsors.

Best of luck boys for the last round. I really hope Tucker makes the main and points!

Thanks for the support everyone! It means a lot to Derek, Tucker, and myself. It's good to know people actually follow and appreciate what we are doing.

We are currently on I-70 making out way through the Rockies in Tucker's Sprinter van. Can't wait to meet you guys at Elsinore!

Awsome Video.

Love guys that wear their emotions on their sleeve...

I wish MX would go back to the qualifying races instead of the timed. Of the few privateers that I have helped they all felt that they got more return for the time and effort they had into MX than doing the timed qualifying.
