We are joined by Cooper Downey for this episode and we chat about how he is trying to grow the sport through the Joyride Alliance. The Joyride Alliance is a unique way to provide young riders a greater opportunity to race on the big stage. We chat about the program, how it works and what is planned for the future. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

I am stoked to have them on board this year as we begin to grow at a huge rate.
