The Buttery kid would have more credentials than this dude. Both are idiots, but at least Buttery is in the seen, rides, goes to the races and speaks direct to the riders. That makes sense to me. Gypsy, not so much.
Dude just shut up. If you listened to literally any of his podcasts you’d realize he does ride, he talks about riding his own bikes on most episodes. He is in the scene, he does go to races, he does hang out with riders. He has the riders on his podcast.

Just stop man.

At first I didn't really give the guy a chance and passed him off as some jabroni. But I watched a few more episodes on his YouTube channel, when I was bored. I respect the guy. I actually think the show is good. He has some good guests and he knows the sport. I see nothing wrong with having another outlet for us. I like Pulp, Ehiskey, Real Talk, Gypsy etc. They all are unique and gives us something to watch/listen to. It's not a gang where you have to allign yourself with 1.

Yeah that Gypsy Tales dude is a clown, I think everyone would be doing themself a favour to not pay attention to him but that’s my opinion.

Such BS... Gypsy Tales is like every other podcast. Some are great, others not so much... So I listen to a different one, from time to time.
WTF, Dude. If you don't dig it? Just keep moving. I am sure there is some pessimist podcast that would be perfect for you. Where you can bitch about all kinds of different topics!

Who are the individuals/companies giving this clown a platform. He brings zero to the table and is a misrepresentation of the sport. He sits in his little closet and doesn’t leave. Doesn’t attend races, isn’t at the test tracks and doesn’t even talk to the athletes. He’s no different than an arm chair quarterback. Maybe worse, at least the arm chair quarterbacks competed at some point back in the day.
It’s just weird to me. Why do people value his opinion?

just keep scrolling ...

He stopped competing at 21, so didn't compete his entire life nor in MMA. He did competitions in specific martial arts, not MMA. His fanbase was primarily from his comedy career and his passion for fighting is what has helped drive UFC forward. No one is saying "oh Joe never fought in UFC so he doesn't actually understand the complexity of real MMA" because that would be a stupid thing to say.

Let's take it somewhere else. F1. Formula 1 has 20 drivers per year that do it. With dirt bikes ANYONE can go buy a bike. So only 20 humans per year get to experience an F1 car. That means 99.9999999999999% of podcast content, by default, is created by people who have never sat in one, let alone raced one.

So you're setting this impossible standard and show no understanding of the medium.

I notice how you ignored every other point I made.

podcasts like Gypsy Tales, no matter what you feel about who presents, are a vital tool to building a sport's popularity. I can't stress this enough. Unless you want to be like karting where I don't think we've don't have fans.... literally none.

I am not setting an impossible anything. I don't care that he has a show and it seems to have a strong following. Good for him.
My point is, why is his stuff being used on other platforms. There are several other shows, reporters, experts that go to the races, work in the industry and make an effort to offer insight. Using Gypsy's stuff is no different than pulling quotes from Vital. Credibility is lost if his crap pops up on other platforms/shows.
You don't care? Thank you Karen.

If you don't like him you could just not watch his content, and move on with your life. Just a thought.

The people on here blow my mind. Gypsy tales is great. Does it just enrage you so much that you can’t not watch it and decide to come to a forum to try to see if people agree with you? I mean gypsy is blowing up and I’m pretty positive more people enjoy his content than agree with you....

How does he bring zero value? He brings tons of pros on his podcast and gets amazing content for us to enjoy. Then there’s you... just a miserable guy behind a keyboard.

Your reading comprehension is poor. Maybe that's why you listen to Gypsy. I don't listen to the show, not even sure i know how i would listen. Reddit?
I asked why companies are giving him air time on other formats? Why are clips being used from his show to breakdown a race or rider? He is NOT at the races. Pointless.
Many professional sports have tons of commentary from people who were not at the events. So I guess everyone on vital should keep their opinions to themselves on race day since we are at home? Then I guess James Stewart and Chad Reed should STFU when they do post race break downs.

The only insider information steve picks up from being in the pits is which team has the best lunch and snacks that day. The action worth discussing is on the track and everyone can view that from their couch.

OK, take a step into the karting realm with me. As a sport we share quite a lot with motocross, though we still bang around on 2-strokes.

Anyway, we by and large of no media platform to speak of. We would KILL to have podcasts and shows pop up like Gypsy Tales from genuine fans. They are a symptom of a sports success and help breed interest. Without them you really have no spectator sport to speak of. 99.99999999% of people who watch supercross and sports in general are armchair quarterbacks. It's the debate and discussion that FUELS interest. If we said "only pro level SX riders can have an opinion and run media entities" well good luck that coz you've just killed your sport.

Honestly, the amount of moaning on here about this and that, you have NO idea how good you've got it. You really don't. Like I said, come to karting for a year and then you'll appreciate what you have.

On a practical note, of course the guy can't go to races he lives in Australia.... and there's this thing going around called Covid that has completely destroyed international travel. You NEED people with passion talking about your sport that new people can engage with. Joe Rogan is a comedian who has never stepped in an Octagon in his life to compete in the UFC, but has been a large part of driving the sport's success.

Rogan has three amateur kickboxing fights, mate.

He can't breakdown a race or rider because hes not at the race? I hope you dont have opinions about a race or rider if you wasnt at the race then

His video marketing is great however. Cutting up small parts of podcasts and releasing them as separate videos.

Well, you’re mostly right.... Rogan spends a lot of time in the octagon.

Why you so mad bro? What's the point of coming on here and bitch about Moto podcasts like you have it figured out for the rest of us. I listen to 7-8 different podcasts and each one is unique. I like all the podcasts that I listen to. There are some shows that don't go as well as others but for the most part, everyone brings really good content.

because he makes podcasts regularly and has good guests. It's not really rocket science. Good production, mixed with perseverance and enthusiasm = success. Rogan created the model, and others have followed. There's value in hosts who don't know everything because they ask questions that most people want the answer to. Relatability is important. And he knows sport is as much a personality game as well.

I think there's a little dash of gatekeeping with all this. Snobbery for want of a better word. I really don't get why people are so negative. It's the sign you've got a healthy sport that there's enough people to interact with these shows and they push the sport in a positive manner.

I get if someone is talking sh*t about your sport and they are clueless (I know that feeling), but the guy loves supercross and gives reverence the top riders.

Like I said you can have a hyper dedicated knowledgeable individuals, but that's meaningless if you want to get maximum reach. SX has the perfect formula. top riders are genuinely top riders. it's dangerous. it's got big personalities. and it has multiple outlets with fans being enthusiastic about the sport.

You can go your hyper snobbery route, but it don't work.

He used to travel and go to races all the time. He’s been to plenty of races. And he rides recreationally. Who cares what level he made it to? I know plenty of people who I can say with 99 percent accuracy probably made it further than the OP in this sport who like him and are just happy to have anyone bringing eyeballs to our niche little sport.

We need more people like him and and more shows like Gypsy where he can appeal to regular Joe’s. We have plenty of former pros with platforms giving their opinions. But, if more pros or ex pros wanted to start a podcast, that would be welcome too.

More content is a good thing. Plus the dude is way more respectful of our sport than this OP tool.

He has gotten his audience from the guest he has on, his zero fucks attitude, plus he is Aussie and we don't have too much options for Aussie podcast, plus he has done his time in the states working with the Vurbmoto crew he has been part of some massive video projects none of you knuckle heads probably knew about.

Me personally I'm not the biggest fan of his podcast but I can appreciate the hard work he puts in and the effort he goes to so that he can get guest like Hunter Lawrence and most likely Jett Lawrence to do Supercross Companions

Bingo. Why organizations (looking at you redbull) pull his "like bro, sick bro" quotes for high end production moto content makes no sense to me. Classless.

Not particularly a fan, but he does put some good content out eg. The RC & Reed episode was awesome bench racing, they told so many stories as well as giving their opinions about all things moto.
