Yo!
-Um... -[rider] God dang, son.
So happy I never learned how to do that earlier in life.
-I wouldn't be here. -[rider] Yeah, right.

[Jason Momoa] Let's do it.
[car chirps]
There it is, man. We're back!
Knock, knock!
Don't be alarmed.
Just wanna borrow some brown sugar.
What's up, homies?
-What's going on? -[chuckles] What's up?
[Jason] Wow, it's so beautiful in here. God!
[people chattering indistinctly]
This is why we're here.
-Wow. -[speaker] Love it, man.
[Jason] I mean, the genesis for this whole season has to been--
to take it another level, to-- to even go bigger.
Last season, it was-- it was like one of the greatest times
we had doing all the hill climbers.
And the one thing I've always wanted to do was board track.
Like, I just think that's the coolest thing.
The board track bikes, that was like the first extreme sport.
Oh, this is like, what is it, five years ago.
-My first time here. -You were sleeping right there.
I set my cot up right here.
I wanted to sleep by the-- by these girls.
These were my favorite.
-This thing blew my mind. -Yeah.
And like, the D-H's over there,
just the shape of it, the look of it, everything.
I was like, wow, if I was ever a motorcycle,
I'd be that and that.
That's what put Harley in front of everybody else, man.
And from that point, there was really no turning back.
Harley-Davidson debuted the Banjo Twin Cam in 1919,
and they made about 14 of these motorcycles
100 years ago.
Very, very few exist today.
There's nothing on that motor
that they were putting on their street bikes,
on their road model bikes, nothing.
This is like the beginning of speed.
We're talking ten years into motorcycling,
and that first era of when they're figuring out
how to go fast and how to go faster.
I mean, really, the first time I ever saw the Banjo
and the Cyclone was just, I was in awe.
You're just, like, attracted.
You're, like, pulled in by these bikes.
And I-- I just wanna ride 'em, you know what I mean?
I just wanted to be able to experience
what it would be like.
There it is, huh?
[Sean Jackson] That's a big one.
-I mean, Matt? -[Matt Walksler] Yeah.
-You ever rode a Banjo? -[Matt] Nope.
-How fucking cool is this? -[Matt] Not yet.
I don't know if there's a person alive today
that's rode one of those.
Alright, so just to put that in perspective, yeah.
[Matt] Guys like us,
-we couldn't even get that. -[Jason] Yeah.
That's your best of the best factory team.
Once they're done racing it, they destroyed 'em.
-Yeah. -[Matt] So out of the--
maybe there's five, six of 'em known today out of the 14,
and the rest of 'em, there's no telling.
I mean, for any to even be out there
to look over in the first place
and take a shot at replicating, I mean, it's a miracle.
I mean, the great thing about Wheels Through Time
is, like, all the people that I've met,
having Nick and Brian there, seeing it,
the dream just, like, coming to fruition.
I mean, at first, when you ask anything of this scale,
it's nerve-wracking.
-Yeah. -And, uh, you know--
The more people we can relate to
with that nerve-wracking stress is gonna be great.
You know, going to Walksler,
a lot of those ideas come through Wheels of Time.
I met Competition Distribution through there.
You know, they were there when we were kind of drumming up
the whole idea of, like, how can we scan these?
So, to build something like this,
we'd have to basically-- Sean?
Well, you gotta take and scan all the data from that engine,
'cause, you know, as Matt said,
there's nothing that replicates to a stock J-D case in any form.
So, everything about it is one-off, so...
Luckily, this time with the help of Sean and Competition,
we're able to make things a lot easier.
-Yeah, the lead times go down. -Lead times.
-You know? -Keeping it in-house.
-Yep. -Everyone who's involved with it
is a team player and enthusiastic
-about these bikes... -Yeah.
...and wants to see all these raced together.
[Jason] The other one, which is the rarest-rarest,
is Cyclone, right?
Aaron, you wanna bring that thing in here?
[Aaron Loveless] Close your eyes.
Close my eyes, alright.
Put it up on something so it--
Should we put it right over here somewhere?
[Sean] Yeah, where are we at? Here, hold on.
We got it.
[Jason] So, I met Aaron--
How did we meet?
Uh, Instagram.
-Like I meet everyone. -[laughter]
I got a call, and he's like, "Hey, I'm-- I'm Jason Momoa.
"I saw that bike you built. It's freaking insane.
"Um, can I come see it or, uh--
You know what? Just bring it down to my place."
Aaron is kind of like...
-[grunting] -[Aaron] [indistinct] ...savant?
Aaron, they only made one of you.
-[Aaron laughing] -Like, God went,
"Yeah, we're good."
Um, 'cause everything I would ask him,
he's just like, "Yeah, I scan it, I make it,
I make it, I sculpt it, I make it."
I showed him some 3-D files I was working on
for, um, sort of recreating the Cyclones.
And he was like, "That's one of the coolest things.
We need to build like ten of those."
[exhales sharply]
It is the most beautiful--
It's one of the prettiest motors I've ever seen, man.
Damn. How long did that take you so far?
I think from start to finish, about three and a half months.
The Cyclones were, uh, the fastest of the day.
I mean, 120 miles an hour with no transmission.
No brakes, no clutch.
It's just all power to the rear wheel,
burning methanol, between your legs,
in a bicycle chassis.
1914 they made this,
and the Banjo didn't even come out till 1919.
So, was this just beating out everything then?
How did this not-- how did the-- the Banjo
end up beating Cyclones?
They got a-- a name,
uh, "fast and fragile" back in the day.
They're lightweight, ridiculously fast,
but there's a lot of parts on these
that were known to fail.
Maybe there's five, six real Cyclones
out there that are known today.
It doesn't get any more rare than that.
You know, if you're looking for antique motorcycle
racing history, those are it.
I mean, in less than a year, we're all gonna be riding
-on Banjos and Cyclones. -[laughing]
Jesus. So, think-- think about that.
It's gonna be-- this is the whole thing.
I was like, "I got this crazy idea.
Hey, guys, can we do this?" And they're like,
"Yeah, we can do that. Yeah, we can do that."
But, um, like, it's pretty epic
to be able to come and do what you--
I mean, this is what you guys do and just--
I can't believe we're gonna go ride this.
I am beyond words, so honored, so excited.
Um, I've been wanting to, uh, do a board track race
since I was in my early teens.
-Like, the final product and the outcome... -Yeah.
...of seeing, you know, multiple Cyclones together,
-multiple Banjos. -Yeah.
C-A-C's, another D-A-R,
-all in the same place. -Yeah, we're not talking about just one bike.
-Yeah. -We're talking about all of 'em.
-Yeah, three or four of these... -One place.
-...in the same spot. -Yeah.
I mean, that hasn't happened probably ever.
Being able to ride a Cyclone, being able to ride a Banjo,
that's just crazy.
You only-- they're only in museums.
You know, that's the only place you're gonna see 'em.
The Cyclone, Banjo, C-A-C.
Maybe we'll do, uh, fuck around with some Peashooters.
Go to Billy's spot...
and race 'em, next year. Yeah?
-[Billy Lane] Why do we gotta wait a whole year? -[Jason] Well...
-[laughing] -It just depends on you guys.
[laughter]
'Cause we need a lot of 'em.
-Yeah. -But get 'em all together,
and, uh, it'll be my first-time experience,
so I'm pretty excited.
Being able to go race these bikes together,
so it's not just up on a wall.
Like, let's go shoot it, let's go show the world,
like, what these things did, what people did,
and let's keep them alive.
[♪ organ music playing]
[Aaron] This is the Cyclone.
They're pretty unique for their day.
These would defeat pretty much any other motorcycle
on the track if they could stay together.
Um, and the reason that they failed
is it was just overly complicated.
The drive system is all bevel gears.
Everything's paper thin, uh, gear teeth would break.
Uh, one tooth breaks
and it's just a cascade of destruction inside the case.
There's a couple, uh, small concerns
with these bikes, mechanically.
I mean, they're built to run all out,
and they're built like twigs.
They never finished 100-mile race on a Cyclone
because they just broke.
[Jason] Wow.
So, there's a couple improvements I made
to the original Cyclone design.
So, this right here is a-- it's called a helical tooth.
Originally, it was, uh, just a regular bevel spline gear,
and so that's only engaging one tooth at a time.
And when you have the stress in the entire valve train
on a tooth that's only a couple millimeters thick,
you're asking for trouble.
That's crazy that it was just--
-It all runs off of that. -Oh, yeah.
[Jason] And how long did it take you, since we--
It's been about how long since you've, uh, started making this?
I've been dreaming about building one of these
for a few years, but, uh, I just started it
maybe six months ago.
Got a hold of some 3-D scans,
started drawing new CAD files around the scans,
had some friends that had dimensions off the original.
And just-- we had enough information
-to put together, uh, uh... -[Jason chuckles]
...the CAD files to make these.
And with modern, uh, printing and CAD technology,
stuff that even NASA engineers
were drooling over ten years ago,
you can order on Amazon for 1,000 bucks now, so--
-That's pretty crazy, man. -Yeah.
And your passion for it is-- is-- is, you know.
-Yeah. -It's unbelievable,
all the-- the things that you do, man.
Not a lot of people are willing to just loan out
a original Cyclone motor to work with.
So, most of this was just taking information
from a hundred different sources.
Museums, prints.
It's close to starting from scratch, basically.
You're almost doing a, um, an investigation.
[Jason] So, this is what we want to make.
That frame is amazing. You found a frame,
-a Reading frame, right? -Yes.
[Jason] So, this bike, there's only one of one.
This is it. It's the only picture.
I don't even know if this bike exists anymore.
-[Aaron] Probably not. -Yeah.
So, there is the Reading Standard.
And so, you can see right there.
So, this is-- And we're gonna put "Roam."
We're gonna make a Roam one, we're gonna make the roaming--
the Roamer.
Putting this stuff back together
takes just unregulated focus.
And it might seem crazy from the outside,
but it's like, um, archeology.
You're trying to piece together this puzzle
that's a century old.
Two Cyclones, and then one Reading Standard.
Well, the Roamer.
[♪ gentle music playing]
[Aaron] I've been working on bikes for about 18 years,
and it started when I was about 12.
I had a handful of friends that were into dirt bikes.
My old man told me
that if I wanted to, uh, ride with them,
I had to work for it.
He drug home this, um, 1984 C-R-250.
The thing was a piece of junk,
and he told me that if I could start it,
I could ride it.
I couldn't even reach the pegs,
and I struggled for hours,
and I was stubborn.
I asked for help.
I had him, um, show me how it worked,
and we spent the next few weeks pulling it apart.
And the bikes kept getting older and older.
Just along the way,
been hitting swap meets and experimenting
with, um, making my own parts,
and it snowballed into a, um,
fairly financially devastating, uh, addiction.
I'm doing what I love, I'm building engines,
building parts from scratch, pouring the metal.
And it's everything I've wanted to do since I was a kid,
and that just ties together so cool,
being able to make stuff and then go out
and ride it and enjoy it.
[metal scraping]
[♪ gentle, relaxing music playing]
First time I saw an antique bike...
pickers came out when I was in high school,
and he was dragging an Excelsior carcass
out of a barn, and I'm like,
that is the coolest bike I've ever seen.
I went into a Google rabbit hole,
uh, during a summer,
just downloading pictures of bikes,
and I was grafting, um, lawnmower engines
to bicycle carcasses, trying to make
these board track racer replicas.
You get-- you get more pure and attached
to the originality of these bikes the more you get into it.
Having a Cyclone cylinder head in my shop,
I feel like I wanna short circuit.
Having three complete Cyclones sitting in my shop...
sometimes I just have to walk away for a bit
because I just wanna sit on a stool and stare at 'em
and not get anything done once you get like, immersed.
[Kevin O'Neal] So, what we've got here
is the gear case side
-of the-- of the Banjo. -[Jason] Yep.
Like I mentioned, it comes from the scan software.
You bring it into this software where you can repair areas
that it may have missed.
You go in and-- and you can manipulate this in here.
Oh, you're basically doing Sean's job for him.
-Yeah, pretty much. -I got it.
-[laughter] -So you go in, you scan it,
you do a shitty poor job at it.
-I just saw it, you know what I mean? -[laughter]
He does a shitty job, and you go in and clean up
-after all this shit. -Yep, I go in and clean it all up.
Come on in here, look at this for a second.
So, this is the blue area where Sean did it.
This is the obvious.
But he didn't really wanna get into--
The yellow parts mean that he didn't do his job.
-[Kevin] Yeah, so-- -[Jason] So, you're--
By doing this, you're costing more money to--
'cause he didn't do a good enough job.
-That's right. Yeah. -Got it!
I don't think that it would be feasible to do this project
without the help of everyone involved.
-Correct. -You know, without Matt,
you know, access to his motor,
his motorcycle, you know, Competition
and their help with, you know, being able to scan stuff.
And do you have to go in there and fine-tune anything
and-- or does it literally come out--
[Kevin] It comes out pretty much like that.
-Exactly like that. -[Kevin] Yep.
[Jason] Wow.
[Brian Charles Vanderford] You know, they have a knowledge base
of what we're trying to achieve here.
So, it really shortcuts the time that it took for us
to do something incredibly difficult,
uh, like we did last time.
With the material and stuff, you know,
like where we were skeptical last time was like,
can you tell us about, like, the density...
-Yeah. -...of the material of this
compared to like a traditional cast pattern?
Because that's something that was, like, hard for us
to kinda grasp with, like, the D-A-H.
You know, this is aerospace technology.
They use 'em in, you know,
modern car factories and stuff now.
Direct to print components, engine components,
all that good stuff.
Um, this is, you know, 99.8% dense.
So, you doing this is gonna save us
not only in time in prototyping, production,
but then also on the back end of us,
like the hours and hours and hours
-that we spend machining. -[Sean] Right.
It shortcuts so much of that for us
-Yeah. -So, us to be able to accomplish this
sounds like it's gonna be way, way more efficient.
-Cool. -That's called cheaper, folks at home.
-[laughter] -A lot more cheaper for Jason and Brian.
That means we get to make more fucking bikes!
If you're saving money, we get more bikes.
-[laughter] -That's all we care about.
Back to you, Susan.
[Brian] I met Nick, uh, racing,
going to swap meets.
Nick and I have a very similar, like, idea
about how things, you know, should go,
like the way we approach things is really similar.
You know, we bounce a lot of ideas
back and forth to each other.
[Nick Toscano] Working with the-- the D-A-H project,
I guess really put us together, because we were at a time,
COVID and everything, we'd talk at each other every day.
It was a very, um, involved project.
Luckily, we have like,
"What do you think of this?" "Awesome."
If I wanted it pink, he'd probably be like, "Cool."
If I wanted it blue, he'd be like,
"Yeah, that blue's work." So, we're like--
we're both on the same page a lot of time.
A project like this, if you didn't have the right team
and right partner, uh, would be an absolute nightmare.
You know, I think Nick and I are similar, like,
in the sense that, you know, a bike's gonna tell you
when it wants to go together.
Yeah, some go together easy,
and-- and some fight you the whole way.
The ideal time frame would be years to get it done,
but, uh, I think J's time frame
is, like, a couple months.
I think for me, the scariest part
is just really doing it justice.
Making something that will stand the test of time,
will hold up to, like, all the riding
that we're gonna be doing.
You know, J-- J pushes these machines really hard.
I want to try to make these look exactly like a replica
or like-- or of an original bike.
There's some differences inherently just because, like,
we're going off of, like, historical photographs
and things like that.
Like, these bikes don't exist.
You know, even the bike at Wheels Through Time
is a kind of one-off example.
They were changing these bikes almost every single race.
Nick and I, just by doing our thing
with, you know, the modern technology in 2025,
we're gonna put our spin on it regardless,
because how can you not?
You know, just by doing it today,
it's going to be a little different
than what they were doing 100-plus years ago, so...
I think with a project like this,
you have to farm out certain things
just to make it happen at a pace that you need.
So, for me, I've mostly focused my attention
toward, like, building the frames and the fabrication.
I think both of us are really capable.
Nick, you know, can do pretty much everything I do,
and I can do the things that Nick does.
But, you know, Nick is a really insane engine builder.
[Nick] Oh, I've been working on bikes since, you know, teens,
on dirt bikes and stuff like that.
I guess that's how we all start.
Started into, you know, Shovelheads,
Panheads, and then flip it and buying parts,
'cause I didn't have money.
So, I basically went to swap meets,
picked a part here, picked a part there or...
[Brian] I've been tinkering with bikes since I was 17.
Um, I built, like, my first bike in my mom's garage.
And then I, yeah, started racing bikes,
um, shortly after that.
I was a tattooer for-- for 15 years
And I messed with bikes as like kind of my creative outlet
off of my day job.
And then when COVID happened and everything shut down,
you know, I had a lot of, like, side work,
which was motorcycles.
And then once, like, everything opened back up after COVID,
I was so busy doing bikes
that, like, I just really
didn't even look back to go to tattooing.
In no way did I think when I was,
you know, young, getting into motorcycles
that I'd be building the rarest bikes
on planet Earth for Aquaman.
[laughing] You know, it's pretty crazy.
[♪ rock music playing]
[groaning]
Yeah!
Oh, God, dude.
Look how beautiful it is.
That is really the prettiest motor, isn't it?
-[Aaron] That's something else. -Wow.
How do you think-- how fast this thing goes?
[Aaron] Easily a buck, if you get it geared right.
Scary.
Direct drive. Barely any brakes.
Wow. I mean, this is gonna be amazing.
These two are gonna be side by side.
God, man.
Gonna be racing the Harleys.
It's pretty amazing, we've-- we've set out
to make the-- kind of the impossible.
We're making, uh, Banjos, D-A-R's, C-A-C.
[♪ rock music continues playing]
[Aaron] Come up with, based on a picture.
We didn't even know what color it was, but--
[Jason] Fuck, look at that.
[sighs]
You're unbelievable, man. Wow.
It's the Roamer.
-Glad you like it, bro. -It's the Roaming Standard.
That is-- Those bars, too. Oh, my God.
-[Aaron] All mechanical. -It's all mechanical. Wow.
Oh, my God, bro.
Look at that. [exhales sharply]
Dude, what the fuck is that? [chuckles]
[Aaron] This is a Cyc-- this is a Cyclone model R-15.
So, at the time, uh, Strand was making three different bikes.
He had a, uh, a race bike, a road model,
and something called the strip stock model.
It was just basically like a speedster,
-which is the R-15 you see here. -That's what this is right here?
-Yeah. -Speedster.
Ooh.
[Aaron] So, it's still got all the amenities of a street bike,
like clutch, brake, footboards.
-Yeah. -It's kind of hot-rodded,
straight from the factory.
You are one of a kind, mister.
There is one of you.
How do you do it?
Some people would call it weaponized autism.
[Jason laughing]
Oh, my God, bro. Unbelievable.
[laughing]
[whirring]
[engine rumbling]
[Jason] Bro. Nothing in the world.
[laughing] Oh, my God, dude.
Check out what it did to my boots.
[Jason] This thing's gonna just be fucking terrifying.
On the Roam.
Nick's, thanks for making my dreams come true, bro.
-[Aaron] Dude. -I can't wait to see this thing and...
[sniffling] you know what, just line 'em all up.
I mean, you're doing 100 miles an hour
on a bicycle frame with 100% ethanol.
Basically a bomb, you're riding on a bomb
and you're going around in circles,
and it's just like I--
doing that in the 1920s
and like, pushing the limits of speed.
I've never felt that experience,
and so I wanted to just take it to the next level.
We're gonna end up having three Banjos...
a D-A-R, two C-A-C's now...
the Knuth, which is-- I've never seen one,
-Mm-hmm. -You've seen one.
-And some eight valve stuff. -And some eight valves.
Oh yeah, some eight valve.
That's a party.
We-- we upped it from first season. [chuckles]
Buckle up. [laughing]
[♪ dramatic music playing]
Banjos, buddy.
[indistinct chatter]
[all exclaiming]
[Jason] I think to be able to see all these, you know,
new friends, old friends, all come together
over the same goal, and, you know,
a couple years of just building these impossible machines,
and it all coming to fruition, I think everyone
was just kind of in shock.
-Look at that! -Wow.
-Holy... -[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
Dude!
It's original shell... [indistinct]
Sit on that, baby.
[groaning] Look at this.
Original paint D-A-R.
Don't ask me to show anything I can't ride, first of all, okay?
'Cause if I can't ride it, I don't even wanna--
I don't even wanna sit on it.
[Jason] You're riding all of 'em.
[Billy chuckles]
[Jason] We're riding all of 'em.
For motorcycle enthusiasts, it's a pretty prolific moment.
These were our, you know, great-grandparents doing this
and it's still alive.
It's still in our souls, and we're bringing it back
and, damn, they had some fun.
It's like going back 100, 120 years,
you know, 110 years. I mean...
-Dang, bro. -It's like...
-Come on. -I mean, these things
were relics for decades, right?
And it was just something you looked at and talked about.
You couldn't put your hands on one to save your life.
Yeah, I mean, and then now, they're so valuable
and nobody's ever gonna run 'em or ride 'em.
I mean, this is like the next best thing.
-[Jason] We got three. -[laughing]
Three versus three.
Three Banjos versus three Cyclones.
I've got a place where these things
will always be welcome. I'll tell you what.
[Jason] Oh, dude, it's gonna be good.
Every one of 'em. Oh, man.
-Thank you, Billy. -Yeah, man.
-[Jason] Dude. -It's really beautiful work, man, this is outstanding.
-[overlapping chatter] -Thank you.
[indistinct chatter continues]
[Aaron] Growing up, I looked up to all these people,
and it's so cool
to be able to connect with these guys that, um...
they're your, I-- I don't want to say heroes,
but I want to say heroes, 'cause that's...
they're absolute legends, and they're building
the coolest stuff on the planet.
Being able to go back with something
as legendary as a Cyclone,
it's just feels like a dream.
[♪ uplifting music playing]
[motorcycle rumbling]
[revving]
[group cheering and clapping]
-Yeah, baby! -[dog barking]
[Jason] Alright, well, this is kind of like, um...
these next three bikes are about as big as it gets.
This is definitely the dream come true.
Building these with my friends and, uh, just having this idea
to be able to make this. So, check this out.
This is the Banjo, this is the eight valve.
Gonna race it, nickel Banjo. It's a pretty pinch-me moment
to be able to have these three together.
This is the end of the dream right here.
There it is.
[indistinct chatter]
Golly, look at 'em.
Shiny enough?
I love it, man. I love it.
-You guys did good work. -[Aaron] Oh, thank you.
It's pretty amazing. Our friends Tom and Sean
at, uh, Competition Distribution,
they, uh, pretty much scanned everything.
We sent it in, and these two badasses...
-Brian and Nick. -[Matt] That's a baby Bosch.
-There it is. -[Matt] Baby Bosch.
And you got those three. I mean, that took me--
this is Walksler's.
The moment I saw this, this is the big inspiration right here.
[Matt] That's like the pinnacle right here.
And it's just also just to celebrate Harley, too,
'cause it's everything that we all--
we love 'em so much.
Right now, we're gonna go race these bad boys,
and then I think it would just be so cool
to have these, like-- these trophies...
-Hell yeah. -...from everything that we've done,
and all the inspiration from all my friends,
you know what I mean?
-[person whistling] -It's a work of art, y'all.
[♪ gentle music playing]
What we're about to do, uh,
is, uh, it'd probably be the first time
that a series of Banjo racing engines
have been on a track in maybe 100 or more years.
You've taken Harley-Davidson's rarest racing engine,
kind of the pinnacle of their development from the '20s,
and, uh, we're gonna put it to the test
for the first time in a century.
I'm a little nervous, to be honest with you.
-[laughing] -Excited and nervous.
But I think it's like a-- a healthy caution.
You know, these things, uh, were going super fast
-and doing crazy stuff back then. -Mm-hmm.
And it's gonna probably be the same now.
The thing about these motorcycles
is they were never safe to begin with.
-[chuckles] -You know?
[Billy] Every time I pull up to a racetrack
and I'm gonna race a vintage bike
with no brakes and no clutch,
it's the biggest rush.
I mean, my-- my heart starts pumping,
you know, my body warms up, I just--
You know what it feels like 'cause you've done it before,
but it's still-- it's like going skydiving, you know?
It's like jumping out of a plane
and you don't know what the end result's gonna be.
You hope you're safe, you hope everything ends up well,
but you just don't know. It's that kind of a risk.

[Jason] There's just a handful of humans
who have seen all these bikes together and working.
Seeing the Cyclone, seeing all the different Harleys...
that is just one of a kind.
I think everyone's mind was blown.
It's a really, truly an honor
because you have all your friends
coming together to pull off a dream
that you want to do and within a time frame,
and working with the weather and the conditions.

[Jason] Every bike was so different.
Every single one of 'em was a different experience.
And I think that's what makes it so special.
Every motor, the way the frames were built,
everything was just a different stance,
a different feel, a different growl.

I've never ridden on like a mud track before.
It gets to this perfect condition
where it's like you can really ride the wall.
It's just such a different feeling.
You can have this, like, perfect moment.
♪♪
You're completely aware.
You're just so in the moment,
and you feel everything, like, all senses are firing.
The sounds are like nothing you've ever heard.
The smells, the speed, the way the bike feels,
the way that it feels the track,
and at the twist of a throttle,
you're just bringing life to this wild animal.
♪♪
Having the guys, like, just the way they wet the track
and just-- I've never seen anything like that.
The idea of, like, shooting board track,
the way we do it, the way that, you know,
being a part of it, like getting the camera in there
and being able to experience that,
like, we're riding with that rider.
It was a pretty awesome experience.

[Jason] I-- I have to tell you, watching this whole season,
like, it's a-- it's a freaking weird thing to say, man,
but I watch it and I know how hard we put into it,
and I was just-- you know, I teared up.
[riders chattering]
[Jason] And it's the craziest thing. I'm just watching motorcycles.
But I teared up because I just know how many people
put in the hard work to make these motors run for me
so that I could show the world.
And this experience of bringing all my friends together...
And it was just the coolest thing,
you know, just to see it go from the sun setting
into the night...
and just the spirit of it all, man, I'm just so thankful.
I'm so thankful.
