Ricky James - Motocross
One of the most inspiring stories in all motorcycle racing (and maybe all sports) is the story of Ricky James. In 2005, he was paralyzed from the chest down. This did not stop him as he self claims a one-word motto: Perseverance. Ricky has been riding much more recently and has gone as far as racing the Baja 500, attempted a back flip into a foam pit, and inspired David Bailey to ride in opening ceremonies at A2 Supercross. He joins us to tell us how he's been doing since the last time we had him on the show.

Scott Summers- Team Manager and Pro Off-road Racer
Scott is managing the Factory Husqvarna GNCC team. He has been racing himself in the Vet Class and has two pro riders; Glenn Kearney and Gordon Crockard. So far they have had a pretty good season even though they got their bikes late. Scott says the Husqvarna motorcycles are one of the most unappreciated brands for their quality and ability to win races. He returns to the show to talk about his new gig with this BMW owned company.
