So what has he been doing since he left? I mean mx wise, has he been racing any other stuff for fun? Or nothing at all?

Could be wrong here but I think he did some testing for TM.

1.) How old is he now?

2.) Is anybody else representing Munn on the track?
I spent a few minutes with Chip at the Houston Sx.

He was sponsoring 2 riders, I don't remember who they were..Sorry.

I just wanted to bump this back up. I really thought this news would get more attention than what it has. I would love to hear more if anyone has any info on his training and prep. Im sure Blake is taking it serious, it would be dangerous not to. Also what is his brother doing nowdays?

Here's a good interview with Tyler. Tells you what he's up to.

He was going to University of North Texas in Denton, TX for a while majoring in music, I think...and doing riding schools on the side for fun and money. It seemed like he had decided to "grow up" and get an advanced education instead of pursuing a racing career. Is he still going to school or devoting his life to racing again?

Either way, I'm glad to see Tyler out there again. Always seemed like a cool guy, and I'm jealous of his guitar talents. After years of playing, I'm just now getting to the point where I suck at it.

I think he was planning on doing all the East coast rounds and Vegas. I have no idea if he plans on the nationals at all , but if it's just SX.....I think a dude could do that , and still go to school. It's only , what?.....like 8 weekends? Blake seems like a pretty bright dude. Racing and making some money for school and what not....pretty good idea.

He was studying RTVF or journalism not music. You don't just waltz into UNT and start studying music, they are quite renowned.
He posts some riding videos on IG occasionally and I think he's helping out John Short.
Check out UNTmoto on IG for updates as well.

Little tiny shop in Waco throws up some serious support for riders. Do you guys know why and how Munn does it?

Munn Racing does the most online sales of KTM parts and products per year. For it being a small shop, Chip and Big Dan do an amazing job of moving bikes and parts through there. Awesome people down there.

Has anyone heard anymore on Blake racing? Is he going to be at atlanta? Really anxious to see him race again. He’s a cool kid with a good head on his shoulders. I know he was sitting out a few rounds but I think I saw somewhere he was aiming to be back for this weekend

I spoke with Chip yesterday. He didn't give an indication he would be at Atlanta. So who knows. Hoping to see Blake soon.

Doesn't mean much but he posted some knee braces on his Instagram like an hour ago. Hopefully he lines up this Saturday.

Vague comment for a reason, nothing is set in place but I just heard where things are heading, not able to say what it is precisely. We'll see in a few weeks. Oh, but no, it's not a 450 deal.

Never mind, cats out of the bag. Blake ride for Ellis when he was crew chief in the Rockstar Suzuki days. Hoeft’s injuries are pretty severe so Blake is filling his spot for the last four. Jamie Ellis actually built the engines for the Husky he was supposed to ride too...
