Chapter 415 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast features British speedway rider Dan Bewley sitting down with Jase to explain what it actually feels like to race a bike with no brakes, four laps at a time, at 70 mph, inches away from three other riders. Dan breaks down the crash that shattered his femur, his dream of becoming a professional motocross racer before switching to speedway, and what it took to build a career in a sport most Americans have never seen.
They also get into the new Kawasaki two-stroke concept everyone's talking about, life racing in Poland where speedway is massive, Russian riders being banned from top-level competition, Ken Roczen finally becoming a Supercross champion, and whether Haiden Deegan really has what it takes to beat Jett Lawrence.
