The MotoXpod Show's 300th episode will be live tomorrow, Wednesday the 31st, and we have Eli Tomac, Damon Bradshaw, and Cody Webb. Ken Roczen had to cancel, unfortunately. If you have questions for the guests, want to tell us your Pro-X Highs and Lows, EVS 450 podium picks for Detroit, or anything else then comment here. The show will be live on Vital MX's YouTube channel starting at 4:30 Pac/7:30 Eastern and is presented by Race Tech and Yamaha Motor USA.
Ask Cody if he’s related to cooper.
Q1: What does he think he is going to do after he retires and if he plans on staying in the industry.
Question 2: Does he want to do all three series this year ? And does he want to retire this year or stay for another year or so?
Question 3: Will the Herlings race ever happen?
We may not get answers to most or all of those but I think its still so cool your having him on the show.
Ask Eli if he likes Star Wars, then show him your Yoda tattoo regardless of what his answer is 😳
What would they have done different in their careers? I nicer way of asking what's your biggest regret!

Where did bradshaw ride and race growing up? I'm from his hometown but I'm much younger and have been curious where he rode
Also Tell Lewis I said hi 😘
• How did webb throwing his hands up at him after San Diego and taking subtle jabs get sorted out
• Does he watch the James Stewart supercross rewinds
I wanna ask eli's dad some questions....
Does Eli talk to Mike larocco?
I think what drives a lot of these guys to retirement is everyone constantly asking questions about retirement.
No rider in the history of the sport has given given clear and direct answers to the retirement questions prior to their official announcement anyway because it's a complex topic and they want to leave themselves plenty of room to change their mind.
I don't expect him to give a clear answer, just some questions to banter about.
Would love to know if Eli ever kicks back and has a beer or a burger or anything indulgent from time to time, do these guys ever have drinks on the low?
I’d like to know what Eli’s thoughts are on his 2nd 450 outdoor season in 2015, and if he feels like he or anyone else ever went that fast on an outdoor track again.
Ask Bradshaw what he thinks of the "most stacked field ever hype". Also ask Bradshaw what advice he would give young phenoms like Deegan, Lawrence, and Beaubied, given he once was a phenom himself.
Ask Tomac what is the most common mistake his competitors make over the years. His most repeatable or easiest bad habit to fall into.
Ask Bradshaw which rider's technique/style he most admired over the years.
Ask Eli if the whole Friese is a little over dramatic.
Ask Eli when he is going to let "beast mode" out of it's cage?
Ask Damon what is was like being such a phenom? How much did this and the pressure to win contribute to his sabbatical from racing and what spurred his comeback?
Lol, in front of "The Beast from the East"
Pit Row
Ask Damon about the air cooled WR490 - I saw him race that in the 90's at Millville you could hear it pinging as he threw it into the landing of the camelback WFO he looked pissed off! was he pissed? how much power did he give up once that thing got hot?
For Cody or all. Do they know of any other MX or Enduro guys that have trials background ? Ride or train on trials bikes. Seems it's needed for hard enduro at least.
Ask Damon about jumping the pond at Gary Baileys.
How far was it?
Did he do it more than once?
Did it wreck anything?
That jump was HUGE for an '87 (?) yz 125!
Also curious about his thoughts on the progression of monster trucks. They jump SO MUCH further/higher now than they did 5 years ago. When was the last time he was in one? Would he like to send a jump like they are now? Has he?
If anyone isn't familiar, look it up, its almost inconceivable...
Can we get some personal questions? It would be cool to know more about these guys. Tomacs favorite meal, dream career outside of moto, funniest fan story, etc.
stop asking about retirement, racing, injuries, competition and so on. It’s worn out.
Oh and 100% the herlings race lol.
Is Cody working outside of racing / using his degree?
Does he still ride a trials bike for fun / training?
Will Eli remain involved in the sport after he retires? Or sail off into the sunset and venture into automotive road racing
Some solid Bradshaw questions in here
Ask Eli what he thinks about the new Porsche 911 S/T.
Whatever you talk about with Eli, Jamie, please don't bring up purple boots ffs. Seeing how many people ask him about purple boots at A1 was so cringeworthy. Like come on, you're a professional "media" person/s and that's the only thing you can think of to ask him.
I want to thank all of you for your input. Show 300 was one of my favorites to date and your questions helped with the Eli interview in particular. I wanted to do something different than, "Have you made many changes to your bike?" Eli actually texted me after and said, "That was a good one." I credit you guys for that. I hope you liked the show and feel free to get involved with upcoming shows. Email us at Motoxpodshow@gmail.com if you want to give us feedback. Thanks!!!
I think I speak for a lot of fans when I say thank you Darkside for your take and insight on this small sport we all are so into. You have been a breath of fresh air so far, thanks! Good luck with these interviews!
