I'd love to see more videos like this of guys behind-the-scene sort of thing... like some lesser known mechanics and such. I'm sure some guys have some good stories on how they got to where they are.

wow this has been my dream since i was a kid. I've had my class A cdl since i was 18 i'm now 21. I think every day how I would love to drive a semi for a moto team but I would always just say its a dream. After watching this its going to motivate me to try and take the same steps. If theres anyone out there that could help me please. I would take whatever steps possible.

Well if you have your license for 3 years and can drive it i think you should give it a shot. Especially since they REALLY need a driver right now.

Yeah there is so many people behind the scenes (not just on the race team) that make it happen, that nobody knows about. The guy that does the graphics, or the guy that designs some aftermarket part, or the guy the works at the place the puts the DLC coating on the forks.

Yeah I would look into the Viloation1 Racing gig. Who knows where it may pan out. Stay motivated!

And I wouldn't worry about not having much OTR experience, I was thrown into the mix with no CDL and picked up quick with the help of others. Good luck Steve!!

Props to Kyle Cowling on this as well, he really knows how to throw a vid together!

Thanks a grip my friend! I really appreciate it. And thanks to everyone else for the positive feedback!



It was a cool experience and I hope Kyle and I can collaborate on some future stuff.



And as far as the healing goes, I went into my doctor a week earlier then expected for my checkup and he told me I can walk in a boot!! I have been walking on the leg for 2 days now and the progression is astonishing. Both the doc. and I are stunned. Hopefully I can be back on two normal feet by PHX.

So when you started out you didn't even have a Class A license? I really plan on being involved in a race team in any way possible sometime in the future, Hopefully something in Team managing or something that pays a little better. But my main goal is to be part of the team and be at every race. What do they require to be a Semi driver and what other positions are there that they are at every race. Sorry if this is too many questions.

I loved being on the road when I was younger and there are parts of it I still miss everyday. Being a race team driver would be cool. Good luck Steve and good job Corey.

Cool story. At 17 I had a job with a bunch of other young guys at a large landscape installation company with brand new f800's with big cranes on the back while also towing huge trailers. The owner knew non of us had the license to drive them but we did for years with no incidents. I was the guy that took the pressured jobs like tight situations and long distances. I took a lot of pride in my trailering. I am still towing something every day. There is a boat or trailer behind my vehicle at all times and I drive all over the country and somehow have zero tickets. I have delivered many large loads and never put a scratch on a vehicle unless on purpose. My family say's that it is one of my favorite hobbies. I often think it would be fun to drive one of these race haulers and enjoy the race scene on the tour. I still do not have the license but will consider it for future oportunities.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback, everyone! It's greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure working with Corey, and I can't begin to thank him enough for letting me follow him around for a few days and being so open-minded to my ideas. Very pleased that people are enjoying what we came up with. Corey and I have already been working on part II and hopefully it'll be ready to go by the end of January. Again, thanks for watching!!
