EP71: Fastline Suspension ‘Inside the Helmet” Show, Ft. Brodie Petschauer
It's a comeback year for Brodie Petschauer.
After winning multiple titles in his final years as a junior, and picking up support from Honda's "Ride Red" Program, Brodie was eager to make his mark in the ProMX Championship and Aussie SX Series.
Unfortunately, things did not go to plan, and after a horror run of injuries in the past three years, including a broken back, ruptured spleen, and torn ACL, Brodie is finally back. With a new outlook on life, new title sponsor, and back on a Yamaha, he is finding success and a renewed love for the sport, not on the motocross track, but racing off-roads!
EP70: Who? What? Where?
The 2026 Aussie motocross season is just over the horizon. In this episode, Mental4Moto host Pete Wolf is joined by Az Minerds to delve into what we know so far - who's going to be riding for what teams, who is "flying at the test track", as well as some of the silly-season rumours currently floating around the paddock.
The boys also get into the AMA supercross action and controversy from the first two rounds, including Chase Sexton's incident with Mitchell Harrison, and Deegan's questionable pass on Max Anstie, plus their respective plans for event media coverage over the coming year.
EP69: Industry Guest - Adam Siemensma
Happy New Year Moto Fans!
For our first episode of 2026, Fastline Suspension's Adam Siemensma joins me in the Moto-Asylum for a chat!
From his time racing quads, to the "good old days" racing moto in the mid 90's at Hallam, the evolution of suspension, and where suspension technology may go next - we cover a wide range of topics, and of course, get to learn a bit more about the man himself!
And don't let his humble demeanour fool you - Adam rips on a dirt bike and definitely knows his stuff when it comes to suspension. So if you're looking to improve your setup - make sure you give Fastline a call.
