It’s going to follow the progression of the kids racing. Should be interesting.
I don't have a link just a memory, but there was an interview where Chad once said if his kids ever got into racing....because the sport is so knarly and dangerous, they would be going all in.
Imagine Chad as a coach...he was renowned for going through as many practice bikes as he went through fuel...leaving the practice track in the dark every day etc.
Ellie's passion is also really cool to see.
Yes....i'm fun at parties.
The Shop
People are freaking bold. Guy has spent a ton of money buying a racetrack and getting everything set up not to mention all the money he pumped into his own team. Even if he had never done any of that stuff he is free to do anything he likes.
On a side note.....i just bought some Fox T-shirts and will probably buy from CBDMD next time i'm stocking up on sleep aid. I also went to the Mountain Motorsports website just to see what the hell that is. That shit works on me like a mofo!
He is a shrewd operator.
You know, in 2009 when he won the 450 Outdoor title on the Makita Suzuki he had backed himself to win with Lloyds of London and made 3 million US on that plus his 5 times 200K win bonus' and his 2 million salary, plus 1 mil from Parts Unlimited.
Look it up if you don't believe.
One thing I always ponder, does social media turn people into narcissists? Or does it just give narcissistic people a medium for attention?
Another question, if you do something and don't post it to social media, did it even happen?

Ellie is annoying as fuck though, I’m sure she’s an amazing mom/wife but you can tell this was her idea and she’s dying for the attention. If she calms down though I can see it being a vlog I keep up with.
Reed didn't just make money from racing.. he's a business man. was smart enough to put himself around some very well known and educated people in the business world.
Reed has no interest in the money side. its purely passion and doing what ever his kids want. and the youtube thing.. i love the idea. just another way for his fan base to keep in touch.
She left her own dreams behind 20 years ago as a 16yo, to go with Chad to Europe and chase his dream. Think about that for a moment; two teenagers with absolutely no family support, in totally foreign countries, just them against the world. She was the only one that was there and wouldn’t let him give up when things were tough. If she wasn’t strong, he may not have been so successful.
Then after all his success, and they’re starting to have kids, he starts Team Twotwo. Who do you think was running the show behind the scenes; doing finances, deals and promotions? The same Ellie Reed.
She probably knows the business and psychological side of the moto industry better than many of the recognised coaches and managers. I think she’s more than earned the right to speak and be respected as an individual.
And maybe, she’s excited to take on a new team role?
I am very interested in her as a person but I don’t want to find listen to her at a million miles an hour talking over people etc etc
