23.11 | Skyler Howes - Absorbing a 25G Impact, Dakar Rally, & joining Team HRC
Skyler Howes recently announced that he has joined the Monster Energy Honda Rally Team (Rally Team HRC). His rally contract with Husqvarna Motorcycles ended early, with both sides deciding to go separate directions. This new opportunity with Honda allows Howes to keep growing in rally, while also looking for four wheel racing and adventures.The rally season didn't start off as planned for Howes though. He had a massive get off at the Rally of Morocco during the prologue. The airbag recorded that his head hit the dirt at 25g's, which is a CRAZY amount of g-forces. The extent of his injuries weren't as bad as they could have been. Howes is already back to light training, expecting to start rally training again soon.The idea of doing what Howes did, racing Rally as a privateer, is a dream for many. We discuss the costs it would take to make that dream a reality. The Malle Moto class sounds fun, but you'd need to be ready to beat yourself up while spending a huge chunk of change. I'll say it now though, I'm in!Nutrition and hydration are also an important part of being at the top of your game for rally racing. The amount of calories they consume, and the fact that they use condom catheters, was a lot to take in. I eat a ton of calories now, but for a race like the Dakar Rally, I'd have to really step my game! New video idea, test out different condom catheters (maybe not).Huge congrats to Skyler Howes on his signing with Team HRC Rally. He's riding a works factory rally bike, and looking to win the Dakar Rally. We wish him the best. We also hope there's a chance to ride his rally bike in the future. We can all dream, right?!?!Support the show
23.9 | Trystan Hart - Becoming a World Class Hard Enduro Racer

23.9 | Trystan Hart - Becoming a World Class Hard Enduro Racer
There’s no denying that Trystan Hart is now one of the top Hard Enduro racers around the world. He’s been riding for the FMF KTM Factory Offroad Racing Team since 2020, all while steadily gathering podiums, building confidence, and winning high profile events. It was fun to hear him describe himself as steady, and someone like Billy Bolt as Flashy. I very much agree!This podcast episode dug a bit deeper in the back story of Trystan and his early motocross journey. It was cool to hear that Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National Motocross was once on his family's radar. An unfortunate femur injury kept that from happening, but it did give us some humorous discussions about full-body casts. Something that’s also cool to see is that he recently launched a book, Hard Enduro Hero, that’s now available on Amazon. I hope this book gives younger audiences a way to see they can accomplish whatever dream they have with some hard work, dedication, and staying focused on being authentic to themselves. Thank you Trystan Hart for your time! It’s been a pleasure to watch you grow through the ranks of Endurocross and Hard Enduro. Excited to see where your racing takes you!LinksHard Enduro Hero Book: https://amzn.to/3PbTSTMNewsletter Signup: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=Xadxcw&g=YfWmNfLMNT Electrolytes: https://amzn.to/44Jrhv4Support Seat TimeBuy Me A Coffee: https://bit.ly/2WCKuBoShop: http://bit.ly/SeatTimeShopYoutube: https://bit.ly/3DBmyiKInstagram: https://bit.ly/seattimeInstagramEnjoy #GettingSeattime during 2023, Stay STOKED, and tag @seattime in your riding adventures.Support the show

23.1 | Ryan Sipes on Mental Strength, Using the Front Brake, & Hard Enduro as a Guilty Pleasure
Ryan Sipes is a long time motorcycle racer. If you look at his official results in The RacerX Vault, 2004 is his first documented race. We’re almost 20 years past that and he’s still throwing a leg over a bike as a professional racer. His current situation does have him off the bike, which we talk a lot about. He injured himself back in January of 2021 while riding in Florida and he's had a lot of setbacks that he has had to overcome. The mental strength he’s showcased while working through his recovery is a subject I wanted to dive into. We have other fun conversations about offroad techniques that helped him in motocross, leveraging the front brake, and how Hard Enduro is his quality pleasure. It sounds like Sipes is on the road to recovery and he’ll be riding again soo. We can’t wait to see him back on the bike, showcasing his depth of skill from flat track to deep woods racing. Fingers crossed there’s also another ISDE in his future!If you want to hear more from Ryan Sipes on mental fitness, listen to his latest Power of the Mind Podcast with Phil Smage.Latest YT Video: https://youtu.be/UxpN60YSGCoDouble Blip Poster: https://shop.seattime.co/products/the-double-blip-hard-enduro-posterSupport Seat TimeBuy a Coffee: https://bit.ly/2WCKuBoShop: http://bit.ly/SeatTimeShopYoutube: https://bit.ly/3DBmyiKInstagram: https://bit.ly/seattimeInstagramEnjoy #GettingSeattime during 2023, Stay STOKED, and tag @seattime in your adventures.Support the show
