Getting Started in Motocross
00:01:58
Speaker
You want to break nose you want bring those two fine folks into the room? Yes. hey Hey, hey, What's happening, sh Tripp?
00:02:07
Speaker
Isabella, how are you? Good. Good. Perfect guys, they sound thrilled Welcome to our welcome to our little podcast here before we get into a bunch of questions um I was sent over your guys's resumes I couldn't go through the whole thing because you guys have a very extensive resume. However Trip you started out. How old were you?
00:02:33
Speaker
Started when I was nine So you started out at nine years old. Your first race was Dade City, Florida. Is that right? Yeah. Beautiful. And you placed third overall on the 65. Is that right?
00:02:48
Speaker
Beginner class. Hey, fantastic. something you Got somewhere. Hey, that's right. That's right. And Izzy, you also raced Dade City. Is that right? Yes.
00:03:02
Speaker
And you were in the 110 Auto Clutch Championship Series. Is that right? Yes. That used to be one of the biggest classes at Dade City. Beautiful, beautiful.
00:03:12
Speaker
You know who else came from Dade City? You know how it's used to raise out there? Guy named Stuart. You ever heard of that guy? Yes.
00:03:24
Speaker
Well, guys, welcome. We're going to let you guys talk more about your your wins and your success through the motocross world.
00:03:36
Speaker
I'm going to go ahead and kick it off with... ah this very first question for both of you who was, or who is your biggest influence and got you into motocross?
Influences and Championships
00:03:51
Speaker
Um, I would say my parents because they used to race four wheelers and my uncle as well, because he used to race dirt bikes and that's kind of all what got started for me.
00:04:07
Speaker
Yeah. For me, it was my dad, my brother, my grandpa, we owned Honda of Christopher river. so I was surrounded by motorcycles. My entire upbringing, I used to watch my brother and my dad go race and i wanted to be there.
00:04:23
Speaker
So then I went. Really cool. Really cool. I love the smell of that gasoline that you guys run on those motorcycles. It's fantastic. It's basically smells like cotton candy.
00:04:36
Speaker
Mark, you laugh, but I'm being honest. I know what they smell like. It's just funny how you said that, though. Sorry.
00:04:44
Speaker
Mark, you got a question for these folks? Yeah. um Well, we both know that you've done the Loretta Lens. um Now, what's it like ah for somebody to that doesn't know what that is? What is that to you guys?
00:05:03
Speaker
It's like... The biggest race in America, pretty much only 42 of the fastest riders get to go there and they just compete to see who's the fastest rider in the nation.
00:05:19
Speaker
Yeah, so um it's the dream for motocross racers. If you're into motocross, Loretta's is where you want to get to. It's the biggest stage you can get to before you go pro.
00:05:30
Speaker
And for some people, you're not going to go pro. So that's your biggest stage and that's where you're going to get. And if you don't get there, you're putting a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it. And it's a really big disappointment.
00:05:45
Speaker
And you haven't been disappointed very much. Is that right? I mean, you guys have both been to Loretta's. Yes, I've qualified three times, but the disappointments have been have been huge. Okay.
00:06:00
Speaker
Tripp? um I've only been there one time, but I think I tried two times before that, and it's it's really hard to get in.
00:06:11
Speaker
Well, you said 42 of the nation's top riders. Is that what you said? Yeah. So let's think about this. I mean, there's millions of people in the world, in the the nation.
00:06:24
Speaker
So yeah, I can, you know, 42 and you got a chance to go and you got a couple of chances to go. ah Even if you didn't make it to the podium, right?
00:06:36
Speaker
It was still an honor, I think. And I would think, you know, if I was a motocross rider, I thought that that would probably be pretty bitching. Yeah. I didn't even care how I finished. I was just so excited to be there.
00:06:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:53
Speaker
mean, I would be too, you know, it's like big thing for amateurs.
The Thrill of Motocross Jumps
00:06:59
Speaker
Um,
00:07:02
Speaker
what's it like in your own words, what's it like when, you know, you're just out having fun, you know, on a dirt bike or racing bike or whatever. Um, and you hit that a a good jump, what does it feel like to you?
00:07:18
Speaker
um It feels like you're just floating. feels like gravity is just turned off, and you could just do whatever you want, kind of. It's super easy to like move the bike around in the air compared to on the ground.
00:07:33
Speaker
But I don't know. I don't really know how else to explain it. For me, I kind of hate it I hate jumping. um Yeah, that's kind of known. um I used to joke around that I should race flat track because jumping is where I've always gotten hurt.
00:07:52
Speaker
um But when you do it and you do it right, it is the best feeling in the world because your brain knows how to do it and your body just follows along. Once you get out of the thinking about doing it, it's a really amazing feeling. You can't feel it in any other sport or really doing anything else.
00:08:11
Speaker
Yeah, so a part of that question, Mark, that I wanted to to kind of tag along on your question there What do you think about in your head when you're in the air? Is it like how how you're coming down or like do you have like flight music in your head? you Something like that?
00:08:31
Speaker
For me, for me, there's two scenarios. You know, you get up to the jump and you are killing it. You're rocking. You're going to hit this jump perfect. It's a great feeling. You know, you were like, I didn't get hurt this lap. um this is good.
00:08:46
Speaker
But then you get the jumps where you know you're going to crash and it's like life is in slow motion and you are just waiting for the impact and you know it's going to hurt. And it is, that is the worst feeling, the worst feeling ever. It hurts. That is worse than like actually getting hurt.
00:09:06
Speaker
Trip, same question to you, buddy. um What was the question again? So for you, when you hit that jump, and your're you're floating and you're in air, like what's going through your head? Is it how you how you're going to come down or is it, you know, you have to know? He wants to know, see if you, I'm sorry, Brian, for interrupting. He wants to know, do you have a a song in your head when you're flying? You take that jump.
00:09:34
Speaker
um When I hit the jump or at least going up to it, I'm just thinking about how much throttle to give it. So I don't like undershoot it or overshoot it.
00:09:46
Speaker
And I'm thinking about not crashing and how I could save this if it goes wrong. Yeah. Now, on to that that one.
Tackling New Tracks: Fear and Strategy
00:09:56
Speaker
um When you go up to a high jump and, you know, you've never done it before. Let's say you've never hit that jump before. um
00:10:08
Speaker
I know that you can't go into it thinking, oh, I can't do it. But does it ever scare the the shit out of you?
00:10:17
Speaker
Yes. Yeah.
00:10:21
Speaker
Well, I know it's, well, you she you're probably going to say yes. Oh, yeah. um i choose to not ride tracks that I can't roll on the first lap so that I can get a feel for it. So I've turned down a few different opportunities of riding really awesome tracks because you have to hit their jumps first lap.
00:10:38
Speaker
And um I just can't do that. I i don't know why you know any other person probably could, but for me, I just overthink it. So when you guys approach these tables, they're called tabletops. Is that what they're called? um Tabletops have dirt in the middle. There's doubles, triples that have like like holes in the middles. and yeah that's yeah So when you when you're approaching these for the very first time, do you you guys get a chance to go and practice these tracks before the race? Is that right? Like you get a chance to go and ride the track?
00:11:15
Speaker
Do you ride fast or do you ride calm, cool, and collected just to scope it out?
00:11:24
Speaker
um I just try to ride smooth and slow just for like the first three laps. And then normally for practice, you get like five laps. And then the last two laps, I go like 95% just so don't get hurt while practicing.
00:11:41
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. I'd say the same. um You know, most tracks I've already ridden. So the fear level isn't really there. The first time you ever go to a track, that's when things can be a little testy. You don't really know how these jumps are made yet. You know, you don't know if they're going to kick you or not.
00:11:58
Speaker
um So it takes me a lap or two to really get comfortable, probably two full laps to hit all the jumps and to start getting smooth and focusing on lap times. But going to like Dade City, First lap, second lap, I usually, you know, hit everything because I've been there so many times. I know what to anticipate.
00:12:21
Speaker
Where's your favorite place to race? My favorite place is probably Orlando MX, just because of how sandy it is and how rough it gets and how much you have to manhandle the bike.
00:12:38
Speaker
Um, so for this question, I have a very unpopular opinion in the motocross world, but my favorite track is actually Loretta's. um and Loretta's is like the roughest track. It becomes the roughest track after racing it for five days. Um, but the jumps are really small and you can go fast and there's sand, there's, you know hard pack, there's a few jumps and i love Loretta's.
00:13:02
Speaker
Have you guys ever got to, uh, meet Loretta Lynn?
00:13:07
Speaker
ah No, I don't think anybody really has actually. how she She was a great singer, great person. Never got to meet her in real life, but you know she's definitely ah one of a kind.
00:13:22
Speaker
So talking tracks, i know I'm pretty positive both of you guys have been to Daytona, is that right? Yep. And I've heard I've heard that Daytona in the motocross world is a good track, with the exception of the sun or something. The lighting you can't really see. Is that is that a is that a factor that all fiction?
00:13:47
Speaker
I think that's all fiction. Um, well, I had one year I had like the first practice in the morning and it was also the day after daylight savings time. So part of the track was like super dim. So I understand where that comes from.
00:14:04
Speaker
But as the sun rises in the day, i don't think it's that bad.
00:14:12
Speaker
What's more fun to, um, to race in, uh, wet or dry?
Racing Conditions and Family Support
00:14:20
Speaker
Dry. Dry. Why do you guys say dry? Why wouldn't wet be the way to go? The wet is like harder.
00:14:29
Speaker
i do better in the wet, but it's just, you have to have so much more balance and you just have to think more compared to dry and your tear offs. Like your tear offs aren't like glued together.
00:14:42
Speaker
like in the middle, only seven them of them will flourish. But like, if you just have the regular tear offs and water gets in them and you won't be able to see good at all. And just little stuff like that just is annoying.
00:14:56
Speaker
Yeah, my dad used to call it survival mode on, like, wet weather racing. And I always ended made up doing pretty good because I'm a survivalist, you know? i want to be safe. i want to get home safe. But I always ended up doing really good on those races. But you don't get to show which you know what you like. You don't get to go fast. You know, you just have to get through those races.
00:15:21
Speaker
Yeah, I was watching a few of those races with my son-in-law. when I was up north last year. And he, some of them looked interesting because, you know, it was all dry, but in the wet ones, it was like, you seen you've seen them all over the place and then trying to stay up and stuff, it was harder.
00:15:45
Speaker
Guys, how does a young person get really good at riding? How would a you guys both started really young. I think, Tripp, one more time, how old were you? I was nine.
00:15:56
Speaker
And Isabella? Four or five. Holy crap. ah So how how does a young person, though, go from just ah a leisurely getting on a like a little PW50 or something like that and and going out riding to becoming where you guys are?
00:16:16
Speaker
um Just keep trying hard. Just keep grinding. then eventually someday you'll get to where you would want to be. Yeah, passion and dedication. There's a difference between the kids who get on a dirt bike and ride to the trails just for fun behind their house, which I think is awesome too. um But that's a different sport than the kids who spend Friday, Saturday, Sunday at the track.
00:16:43
Speaker
you know, 40 weeks out of the year, whose parents work nine to five, Monday through Friday to get us to the track Saturday, Sunday. And you just have to be dedicated. There's times when you don't want to keep riding the track, but if you want to be good, you have to.
00:17:02
Speaker
So that kind of leads me to another question. um Is this a family-oriented sport? Because you guys do the sport, every what is it, almost every other day you're riding in some kind of practice or you're going to Dade City or you're going to Daytona, you're going to, you know, overseas to race and in that kind of stuff.
00:17:26
Speaker
um When mom and dad are busy, what do you guys do as far as family? Um, if my parents can't go, then I can't race because they're, they want to be with me in case I get hurt or anything like that.
00:17:47
Speaker
Yeah. Um, Yeah, until I turned 18, that was the truth for me, too. But, um you know, motocross is the most family-oriented sport there is. i I have, I joke around, every Facebook post I make for a birthday is like, happy birthday to my second dad, because I have so many track parents, moms and dads, people who I love, who I watch their kids grow, I've grown up with.
00:18:11
Speaker
People who have made me breakfast, lunch and dinner, Tripp's mom and dad used to take such good care of me. So many people would let us stay with them. You know, it's just, it's getting to the races. It's a sacrifice for everyone and you're all in it together. Some of my best friends who I talk to daily, you know, I raced with five or 10 years ago.
00:18:33
Speaker
I go to school with people who I raced with. And it's just, it's a community that you couldn't build any other way because we're so deep into the passion and the dedication of the sport that we all understand each other a little bit differently than other people who don't race.
00:18:52
Speaker
Okay, that makes sense. and Yeah, I mean, and and that's why we're that's why we got you here asking all these questions, you know, so that we we can try to understand, you know.
Training and Inspirational Figures
00:19:05
Speaker
Do you guys have siblings?
00:19:08
Speaker
No, I'm a single child. i have a brother. Does your brother race? He used to. He's older, so like. Okay.
00:19:20
Speaker
Man, I wish I was his only child.
00:19:25
Speaker
So aside from family, somebody has to train you, right? So you guys have, do you guys have riding coaches or instructors, trainers? And if so, who were they?
00:19:37
Speaker
How did they impact your life?
00:19:41
Speaker
um So I trained with this guy named Dean Diaz. He owns the Orlando MX motocross track and he's helped me with a lot of riding.
00:19:56
Speaker
is He's pushed me hard, and he's got me to like these big races like Loretta Lynn's and Racing for Team USA. And he's really helped me with just my confidence and going fast.
00:20:14
Speaker
Yeah, um having a coach, having a trainer, that is kind of the name of the game once you want to go that next step. I've been through pretty much every trainer in Florida, I would say. I've trained with everyone at some point. um I was most dedicated, I think, to Tim Ferry and Randy Yoho, and they took me from on you know, a beginner C rider to B rider, you know, in women's class easily, because we just put that dedication in and it's every trainer is different. And that's why you have to find that person that works for you. So i think that's why my dad and I just would walk around to different trainers, because it's tough, it's tough to make it to everyone's tracks, it's tough to work your schedule around them. And also,
00:21:02
Speaker
I don't get along with everybody very well sometimes. so sometimes I would butt heads with some of my trainers because I don't want to do what I'm told. Um, if I didn't agree with what they were telling me to do, i would definitely butt heads with them.
00:21:14
Speaker
So we would move on to the next trainer, but I'm definitely blessed to have had so many incredible experiences with all of these different people around the state of Florida. Um, and just everyone's different. They all give you a little bit of their personality. They all teach you something new that you probably wouldn't have thought of. And i think, I think it's good to get a trainer if you really want to go to the next, the next level.
00:21:40
Speaker
Very good.
00:21:43
Speaker
Mark, your question, buddy.
00:21:47
Speaker
um
00:21:52
Speaker
Who's the, for people that don't know, who who who's the biggest, um the sports star in your sports?
00:22:02
Speaker
I mean, who's the biggest one, you know, name? um Definitely Ricky Carmichael. because he was the most consistent, the fastest, he was the most calculated. And so um that's what got him so many championships and the nickname, the GOAT, for the greatest of all time.
00:22:24
Speaker
And yeah. Yeah, right now my favorite is Eli Tomac, but he just lost the points lead, so that's a shame.
00:22:37
Speaker
Well, ah you had on your bio trip, you said, who is your one of your other favorite riders besides Ricky Carmichael?
00:22:48
Speaker
um I like Jason Anderson a lot. he's he just is so little loose on the bike, and you can just throw it around super easy.
00:22:59
Speaker
He's very aggressive and just doesn't care what people think. And I don't know. He's just chill. there's There's just a lot of things that I see in them that I would like to better myself in.
00:23:17
Speaker
Izzy, did you list anybody else as as far as your other favorite riders?
00:23:24
Speaker
I mean, Tomac, Sexton. You can't dislike the guy. He's trying so hard right now. um You know, RJ Hampshire, he's he's from home, so we got to support him. Got to support him.
00:23:38
Speaker
Who else? um You know, Nate Thrasher, he's young. I want to see him do good. And then, of course, the Lawrence brothers are wonderful people and great on a motorcycle. so
00:23:54
Speaker
In your guys' as groups, um you know i've watched you know, I've watched the professionals play.
Stunts, Challenges, and Injuries
00:24:01
Speaker
you know, when they go and win and stuff, sometimes they do some, uh, stunts, you know, um, are you guys allowed to do that?
00:24:09
Speaker
Um, no, well, I can do like the no hander and the no footer and the one hander and all that stuff, but I can't do anything where I could just like casually just flip a boat motorcycle backwards and stuff like that.
00:24:23
Speaker
I can't do any of the extreme stuff. Not yet. I personally, I've watched Tripp do the silliest things when he wins a race. So if anyone's stunting at the end of a race, it's Tripp Carr.
00:24:38
Speaker
What I do is I jump the jump conservatively and I get off the track because that's what I want to do. I want to be safe. Mark, that was a great question. You know, I actually thought that same thing. you know, in your free time, when you're out riding a bike,
00:24:54
Speaker
you ever get the, ah you know, the want, the need, the desire? Like, you know, I wonder if I could just, how long can I wheelie this thing and in the yard? You know, or, you know, has that ever been one of those things where you're not on the track and you are riding and you're like, oh, I wonder how far I can wheelie?
00:25:13
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, when I'm normally sometimes done with training, I'll just go out and like see how far back I could get the bike before it drags the fender.
00:25:24
Speaker
And normally I can't do it, but there's been some times where I just crashed from doing it. So. Um, my dad's like the wheelie king of bicycles and motorcycles. Um, everything. Yeah. a ya Um, and I am proud to say that I've never purposely wheelied a dirt bike, bicycle, scooter in my life. So I leave that for him.
00:25:50
Speaker
i don't purposely wheelie. Maybe I'll try to whip, but it doesn't usually end up good. Um, might throw like a lot of golf and that's usually not on purpose. So.
00:26:04
Speaker
I'm sure that this is a multi-part answer to this question. What is the hardest thing about motocross racing? What is the hardest thing about motocross?
00:26:18
Speaker
Um, probably your, your intensity during the motos. Like you just have to be a hundred percent like just wide open.
00:26:33
Speaker
so you could keep your position or gain positions. If you're not, then you're just going to drop positions and you won't gain them back. ah That's what I think is the hardest thing, for me at least.
00:26:48
Speaker
I would say that the toughest thing is the mental game because everything's the mental game, from training to riding to racing, the gate drop to the end of the race. um you know You can give up at any time and that's a choice.
00:27:04
Speaker
You have your competitors constantly around you. Sometimes you train with your competitors. But I think the mental toughness is something that a lot of people don't talk about, but it is the most difficult portion of it. You know, i keep talking, joking about how I don't jump, but really it's just a mental game for me because every jump that I've ever done, i have basically landed well, just minus two or three times. And now I talk about not wanting to jump.
00:27:36
Speaker
one of those One of those times that you've hit a jump, one of those times that you guys have thrashed, in your career since you've been racing, what was the worst accident that you've had?
00:27:54
Speaker
um Probably when I was going Over like, so in a turn, sometimes there's this thing called an anthill and it's just like a little roller on the inside of the turn or you could just go around it.
00:28:13
Speaker
And there was a kid on the other side of it that I didn't see. And I ran into him and I broke my radius and ulna and then I dislocated my hand. And I think that was the worst one I've ever had.
00:28:28
Speaker
Um, for me, it's, it's pretty, like most people know this. Um, I got landed on in the back of C class at Gator back in 2019, 2020. Um, I didn't hit a jump because if I would have jumped, I would have hit the person in front of me, the person behind me, um hit the jump for reasons that I couldn't tell you, um landed on me.
00:28:51
Speaker
i broke my right radiate or my right. What did break? My right humerus, my left radius. So both my arms were broken. um yeah it was rough. It was three months. My mom had to shower me, feed me for about a month because there was just no pressure in my arms.
00:29:11
Speaker
You know, take me to the bathroom, you name it. My mom had to do it to her 16 year old daughter. So that was the worst. Actually that, you know,
00:29:23
Speaker
eight you got lucky there. I told you guys when we first started talking that, um, we were going to, I was going to tell you about my son-in-law. Uh, his name's Warren Nelson and, uh, he, uh, he got injured.
00:29:36
Speaker
Uh, he was taking a jump and something happened. And when he landed he broke his back. Um, he wasn't able to walk for the longest time. He still, he's, he has a lot of problems walking, but, uh, he's in wheelchair, but he did walk for his, his,
00:29:53
Speaker
wedding so that was a good thing he was determined to do that that was that was really amazing to have him walking then um but he still has hopes that he'll be able to walk yeah i was i was absolutely blessed because you know a foot to the left or the right and that could have been my back or my neck so yeah do you still ride I do. I'm a sophomore in college right now, and i don't live near my dad, who usually takes me to the dirt bike track. So it's tough for me to ride, but i do when I can.
00:30:33
Speaker
And of course, we know Tripp's still riding rason and And is this a great career field to be in? I mean, we know what's trying on your body.
00:30:45
Speaker
We know what's trying on you mentally, but it builds you into a better person. guys agree with that? Yeah, definitely.
00:30:59
Speaker
um So let's get off of that for one second. What do you do in your free time? Do you have free time? Right now, I've been building this huge Toyota bike track. I still play with toys, I know. I'm 15.
00:31:17
Speaker
And um i like playing video games as well, but whenever I can hang out with my friends, I'd like to do so because there's no kids in my neighborhood.
00:31:27
Speaker
They're all grownups. So it gets kind of boring. so Yeah, Brian. That's what I like to do in the free time. um So like I mentioned, I'm a sophomore in college, so I go to the University of Florida. Go Gators.
00:31:43
Speaker
Go Gators. um I work two jobs. I'm a part time two year old teacher. And then I also work on campus. um I love being outdoors. I like to hike. I like to be on the boat. I like to paddleboard. Really just trying to stay active and enjoy the life that I'm living um and know that every day is a blessing to be alive.
Career Transitions and Future Plans
00:32:08
Speaker
now how how old do you have to be to yeah i know that you guys are amateur in the amateur division right or you or you were um how old do you have to be to be able to go pro
00:32:25
Speaker
i think it's um i think it's like 17 you have to graduate at high 16.
00:32:33
Speaker
Yeah, i think that's I think they just made that a new rule that you have to graduate high school. Smart.
00:32:44
Speaker
ah Dream race. Trip, what's your dream race? Izzy, what's your dream race? Location, the people that you would race with, and the conditions on the track. You are aware that that's a lot of racers.
00:32:58
Speaker
Well, I mean. you know You have to bring it down a little bit.
00:33:05
Speaker
um um is he you go first because i need to think about this all right um i would say my first year of loretta's dream race go back to that with the skills i have now and the first year i went to loretta's i raced girls class um so that's a super mini i would race those same people but in women's class on my 250 and that is a dream race right there i think i think top 15 has my name all over it.
00:33:36
Speaker
Anybody in particular that you'd want to, uh, be in that race with you? Um, oh, I would love to take it back to the, to the days when Maggie Garrison, I used to race together because she was always like way above my level. And then just as she was going to college and getting out of it, I was like stepping up. So, um, if we could like run that back and I could race with her, she's one of my really good friends. That would be a great time.
00:34:02
Speaker
Cool.
00:34:04
Speaker
Um, I think my dream location for a race would probably be somewhere in Europe because the dirt's really nice over there.
00:34:15
Speaker
Well, I take that bad a a back actually. It's like, it's very unique in a way because it's just like powder on concrete with a bunch of rocks. You have to be very crafty with the way you ride.
00:34:28
Speaker
So i would I think I'd probably want to race over there again. And then With, I think, who would I want race with? any Any pro rider, I think, would be fun, even though I'd probably get demolished. but It's your dream race. You're making it. You know what I mean? That's why I asked that question. I mean, if you know you look up to Ricky Carmichael and you said, hey, I just want to race against him, I totally understand that.
00:34:59
Speaker
To me, I think I would just like to learn how to do it. And then race both of you and lose terribly.
00:35:10
Speaker
That sounds good.
00:35:13
Speaker
I can run as fast as that motorcycle goes. I'm just kidding. I'm fat. I'll even take, ah I'll even video it. How about that? ah Let's talk about um what motorcycle you're on now, what motorcycles you've been on and what you're, what you like.
00:35:33
Speaker
What do you like about the bike? I started out on a KX65. And then, like, I think, like, three months later, I got a KTM.
00:35:46
Speaker
And I've been on KTM ever since. Because they're, like, they're just more for racing. the It's easier to turn. It has more power. It's just like just like that bike, except on a bunch of steroids, pretty much.
00:36:07
Speaker
Um, so right now I'm on a CRF two 50. Um, I love that bike. It's so easy. Like, you know, I know I'm gonna, I know I'm gonna live if I, if I, if I need some extra power last second. Um, it's so reliable. I love it.
00:36:23
Speaker
Um, my favorite bike I've ever rode or raced was my super mini. It was a KTM. Uh, my dad had that thing ready for Loretta's and that was a fast bike. And I was,
00:36:36
Speaker
I was riding it and that was good. And, you know, I always wish I could race it again. I tried to race it the next year, but you know, got bigger, got taller.
00:36:46
Speaker
I was also like aging out. It really wasn't good. So I couldn't race it, but that was a good bike. i I, wish I could ride it again.
00:36:55
Speaker
Now I had to ask going through trips, uh, stuff I had to, cause you know, I don't know what's what sometimes, So I had to ask my son-in-law, what does schoolboy mean?
00:37:11
Speaker
So let's have one of you guys actually answer that one. I really don't know what any of my classes mean.
00:37:21
Speaker
My mom just signs me up for them, and then she tells me the race numbers, and then I just make sure I'm on time. time So I'm the wrong guy to ask. Okay, come on.
00:37:33
Speaker
It's school boy. It's like it's 12 to 17 years old. So it's the the boys that are in school. Like, it's just a name for a class, but they're not discriminatory. A girl can race that if they want to.
00:37:46
Speaker
And you've raced in the boys class. Is that right, Izzy? Oh, yeah. Smoked a couple of boys here and there, haven't you? Yeah, I mean, I'd be like, you can't not race motocross and not race with the boys at some point. I just race women's nationally because the women's classes and the men's classes are drastically different on the national level. Locally, I'll race a men's class all day long.
00:38:11
Speaker
It's way more fun. There's usually not a lot of women at local races or you know statewide races. do you get all Do you get a lot of griff for being a female racer?
00:38:23
Speaker
Honestly, No, but more than I would have expected. You know, most people, most people love to see it and love to see, you know, a few women out there racing. um But yeah, I've had one or two instances where I beat some boys and their fathers were extremely rude to me. And like, there's just one family that's coming up in my head and I would not give them the time of day right now. Like they were just so hateful to me and it was not my fault.
00:38:52
Speaker
You're out there to compete. You're out there to win. Right. Like, I'm sorry that, that, that I, I'm a little tougher than your son. you should race him differently.
00:39:05
Speaker
it it builds character. It's got to build character. So, I mean, that built your character to be able to go out there and do that. um Trip, you, have you raced against any of the females, any of the women?
00:39:18
Speaker
um Not really. There has been, actually, a take that back. I've raced against two, and I think they're like the fastest or some of the fastest women in the nation.
00:39:29
Speaker
Their names are Hannah Hodges and Jordan Jarvis.
Preparation and Mental Toughness
00:39:33
Speaker
And i will say they are really fast for being women. And um the reason why I say that is because ah women and the in this sport,
00:39:43
Speaker
they can't go as far as the men. so some of them just like give up in a way, I guess, but they're, they are really fast. I will say.
00:39:55
Speaker
What, what do you got to do as far as building your stamina up to be able to maintain these races? Because what's the longest you go in in a race? Like you're, you're going to be on this bike for how long and what do you got to do to build that stamina for yourself?
00:40:12
Speaker
Um, i I think the longest I've ever raced on a motocross track is like, I think 20 minutes.
00:40:24
Speaker
And I'm pretty sure that's like, I think seven laps or something. um And you just have to ride to just build up your stamina, do longer motos and what the races are.
00:40:39
Speaker
So you can stay at 100% the whole race. Yeah, Loretta's motors are 20 minutes plus two. So I've done those. You know, some people do like GNCC and stuff, and those are hours of racing. um You know, looking back at it now, i would i would give you a whole different training program. Like the ideal training program would be like, you know, super cardio focused. Let's, you know, strength train. i feel like I would be a great trainer because i will tell you what to do, but the good Lord knows I did not do that.
00:41:14
Speaker
Um, I wish I did because I probably would have went further. but you know, I used to have to run around our block like five or six times in a day, trying and to get my cardio up. Um, I mean, really the best, the best you're going to be is on the bike.
00:41:30
Speaker
That's the best way to train, but you have to do the things off the bike too.
00:41:35
Speaker
What is your mindset right before a race? What, what do you have a routine that you do before a race? Um, Yeah, I don't let my mom anywhere near me because she talks to me too much.
00:41:50
Speaker
She loves you. I just like to get zoned out and I just do that until I get to the gate, which is like an hour sometimes.
00:42:03
Speaker
And it just, when I'm zoned out, it just helps me ride better. I stay more consistent and I just, think because when I'm when I'm not zoned out of it I'm just too hyper i guess and I'm just all over the place and my mind's just racing and I don't ride as good so yeah that's why I like to get zoned out yeah I mean trip's right if you're thinking too much then it's not gonna be a good race for you um if I don't pray before my race then
00:42:35
Speaker
then that race is just not going to go good. And I could not even know that I didn't pray before my race, but at the end I'll crash a few times or something will happen. And I i just know, like I forgot that routine. so I always pray on the line and i don't know, I think I just have to keep it lighthearted and easy and, you know, I think I have something to prove, but at the end of the day, I'm here to raise and have fun. And, um, I'm just happy to be there and, you know, I can only do what I can do. so
00:43:08
Speaker
where do you guys see racing now? a Trip, is this going to be what you want to do for a career or where do you have planned for your future? Izzy, I think you are now since retired or partially retired. And I know what you're going do for your future, but we would still like to have you tell our audience.
00:43:31
Speaker
um I'm trying to make it pro I'm very close right now. think I just have to get like a few more points for my pro license and I'm hoping to turn pro when I'm 18 and by a few more points, I mean a lot more points.
00:43:52
Speaker
bra key bracing I'm still, I'm still a lot closer than most. Yeah. And you're so young trip. Stop putting that pressure on yourself. Um,
00:44:04
Speaker
For me, I'm partially retired. Now I would like to pull up to Dates City or Waldo and, you know, put in a few few fast laps. um But this is something my kids are going be doing. Like, I don't care.
00:44:16
Speaker
i do care. But if my kids don't want to do it, they're to to do it because I don't care if you don't like the dirt bike. Like my family has been made a better bike track. You know, I my character was built up the dirt bike track. My my perseverance, my determination, my will to go somewhere in life.
00:44:35
Speaker
It's all I can attribute that to racing and growing up there. And so, i mean, if my kids don't like it, I guess we'll try like baseball or something. But like my kids are going to be racing dirt bikes.
00:44:48
Speaker
So it sounds like you're going to support your children regardless of
Family, Humor, and Personal Stories
00:44:51
Speaker
what they do. if They don't want to ride dirt bikes if they want to play soccer or tennis. No, she said she was going to make them do it. Get it right.
00:45:02
Speaker
I mean, they just have to be well-rounded, starting with the dirt bikes. Tripp, how do you feel about that? do When you get older and you have kids, do you think that that's going to be something that you're going want your kids to do as well?
00:45:14
Speaker
At least give it a shot? um Yeah, I'll definitely start them out young, but if it's not something that they don't like, then whatever, I guess.
00:45:28
Speaker
Jeez, Tripp, you really seem so harsh, couldn't you? Alright, so for for the few fans that we have, ah they don't know where you know where we're from, but we're from a little place called Homosassa or Lakanto, Florida, ah Citrus County.
00:45:47
Speaker
And there is a young man that lives around the corner from me named Tripp Carr who has a or had a track in that his father had built for him in his yard.
00:46:00
Speaker
And I remember driving by watching not just trip, but also seeing Isabella there racing that track. Can you tell me a little bit about that track?
00:46:12
Speaker
Um, it was just, it wasn't really a track that he made. I made it myself. He made a little jump for me. should say. And i actually do kind of have a funny story about when Isabella was riding.
00:46:26
Speaker
So on the street behind us, there's these people with this half zebra, half donkey. So me or my mom was like, hey, why don't you guys go over there and stuff?
00:46:40
Speaker
Bring some green beans. And so we were like, okay. And so we went, we pet the donkey. We still had a lot left over. And so we're like, hey, let's see if we could feed this bull.
00:46:53
Speaker
And so I got off and I tried feeding the bull and it started rushing us. And so Izzy was driving the full wheeler.
00:47:04
Speaker
And before i I could get on, she started going. So she was leaving me behind. So I had to hang on to the back and I was getting dragged. And then... um She had to stop so I could get back on. And then after that, we just left. We were not hanging around there anymore. Sorry, Tripp.
00:47:25
Speaker
i You're fine. So you're you're you're fast. You're just not as fast as a bull is what you're telling me. No, definitely not. So how big was that track – is that track anymore because I kind of see a little bit here and there at the house. Is that still a little practice area for you or no, not really?
00:47:48
Speaker
um No, not anymore. I do have a pit bike track like in my front yard that I built when I was bored. But now we're selling the pit bike because it broke again, pretty good.
00:48:04
Speaker
Well, maybe Izzy will let you ride the Honda or something so we can see how you do on a Honda. That's a good idea. have you have you Have you thought about riding a different a different bike trip?
00:48:18
Speaker
Or are you guys going to stick with KTM, Gas Gas, that kind of stuff? or Dad said that you tried out a Honda at one point. How did that feel? Yeah.
00:48:31
Speaker
It felt good. I like the Hondas a lot, actually, because they're just so easy to turn. They have a lot of bottom-end power. And i think on 250s, I would like to go to Honda because the new KTMs, the front fenders, are, like, very, very weird. And I personally really don't like them.
00:48:52
Speaker
And I feel like they would just distract me too much when I'm riding just because of how big they are. And I can't really see into the rut, so... I think I would venture off to a different brand of bike, but don't know. We'll see. And and for you, Izzy, what kind of advice would you give Tripp if he does jump on a Honda?
00:49:16
Speaker
I'd tell him to jump on my Honda. Come ride my bike. I love it.
00:49:24
Speaker
Got to let you try that thing out and see how you do on it. Yeah, Honda.
00:49:31
Speaker
What do you like about the Honda? What is it that, what is it that you like about the Honda? Cause he said he liked that, that power, that bottom end power that had. Yeah. Um, it's comfortable. It's, it's not really a bulky bike. Um, easy to turn.
00:49:46
Speaker
Yeah. You get on it like you would any other bike. There's not a big adjustment and that's a difficult thing for some people, you know, jumping from bike to bike. It can be a big adjustment. It can change the way you grip the bike and,
00:49:57
Speaker
you know your stamina and all of that. so The Honda is just easy, lightweight. It's quick to turn and and it does everything I need.
00:50:09
Speaker
um What do you feel what do you feel is your greatest moment?
00:50:16
Speaker
um I think my greatest moment in motocross is getting the news to race for Team USA because i couldn't I couldn't believe it that I was one of the six riders that they picked.
00:50:34
Speaker
I was just so excited. i was ready to do it then and there and now. And i don't know. It was just such a cool feeling. i was so proud of myself because I was working hard.
00:50:47
Speaker
And had just gone on to a bigger bike. So it was It was cool.
Achievements and Gratitude
00:50:52
Speaker
it was cool
00:50:54
Speaker
Um, my greatest moment was, uh, you know, we talked about the story of breaking my arms. So I broke my arms in October. I got back on the bike January 1st of that, that year, you know, October, November, December recovery, January 1st, I got back on the bike for the first time. I trained through area qualifiers for Loretta's regional qualifiers for Loretta's.
00:51:17
Speaker
Um, and then May of I think it's 2020. My dates might be a little off, um I went to the track that I broke my arms at.
00:51:28
Speaker
I raced three solid motos and I qualified for Loretta's again, you know, six five months after breaking both my arms or, you know, six months, maybe seven months.
00:51:40
Speaker
And that was just the best feeling ever. My dad and I went into that race hopeful, but I was, i don't think I was where I needed to be, but mentally i was a mess.
00:51:50
Speaker
Um, and I don't know, I turned that switch off every race and I put in three great motos and I have some pictures that were taken of my dad and I hugging and i was just on top of the world. I couldn't believe I qualified again for Loretta's.
00:52:10
Speaker
Mark, you got a question. I keep asking a bunch. I'm sorry. i know Yeah, I figured that. Well, I'm figuring it's about time that we ask them ah you know an important question.
00:52:21
Speaker
What about their sponsors? Absolutely. um Well, I'd like to thank my sponsors. Jimbo's Ironworks, Factory Connection, Fly, Liet, Stubbs 11, Motorcycle Enthusiast, Cherubies, 100%, FMF, got them all.
00:52:41
Speaker
and think i got em all
00:52:46
Speaker
Um, you know, mom and dad, dad, he, he did it all for me. Um, you know, family, it's been a while since I've done this. So i run through just a few that I have on the top of my head. we got Lacher Racing, Factory Connection, Western Power Sports, Scott Allen Roofing.
00:53:04
Speaker
Um, goodness gracious. I know there's someone missing. I don't know. I love motor sports. Of course. How can I forget? Love motor sports. Um, you know, throughout my whole racing career, there's just people in my corner constantly and I couldn't be more blessed and grateful.
00:53:22
Speaker
Excellent. Yeah. Big shout out to those sponsors who have taken good care of these fine young riders. I'm positive that they appreciate everything that you guys have done for them.
00:53:36
Speaker
And that's why they are winners in this, in this field. That's why you you know, champions in Citrus County because you have the support of local businesses.
Team Dynamics and Racing Numbers
00:53:52
Speaker
So ah let me ask you, you know, for the for the people that really don't know about racing, and we you were talking about points earlier, Tripp, how does that work? um ah Is there teams in racing it like there is in NASCAR, and then how do the points work?
00:54:12
Speaker
Um, so there is a lot of different teams, like pretty much every manufacturer has their own team. And then you have like the off satellite teams, which are like, not, they can't get factory components like the other teams.
00:54:32
Speaker
They're just overall a tinier team and they're easier to get on because they are tinier. And i don't, I don't think you have to have any points to get on to them. I think you just have to have a ah nice, clean resume, lot of wins, some national championships, a few top tens.
00:54:53
Speaker
And, yeah, I think that think that's all you have to do. I'm not on one, so I don't know. So how's the points work?
00:55:05
Speaker
yeah like a You know, they like to put your you, know, for competition, Mike.
00:55:14
Speaker
Um, I'm pretty sure you just have to do a lot of national races and have, like, I think a certain amount of top tens. And then you'll get AMA points, which is like the head of all motocross racing.
00:55:31
Speaker
And then they'll give you a card that you could, out I don't know how it all works. I'm pretty sure they just check your card and then you can go into to the pros.
00:55:42
Speaker
I don't know. Yeah, to jump on what Tripp's saying, to like point series wise, like Dade City point series, you know, got a few championships there, but then you go to like Loretta's and stuff. These are different series. And so what you place is the point you make. So if you get first, you get um usually one point. I think at Dade City, they do 100 points. And then you just add up your points and whoever has the most points wins. So it's not like golf where the least wins.
00:56:11
Speaker
um Whoever has the most, oh, I guess that's not true. Dayton it is. But national level, you want the least amount of points because if you go 1-1-1, you have three points, and three points, you're going to get the championship. So I guess it varies on what championship series you're you're trying to write race Yeah.
00:56:30
Speaker
um yeah
00:56:35
Speaker
Now, when you say national championships, is that just overall for the season? you get one championship, or is that national championship? Certain races are considered national championships.
00:56:50
Speaker
um Certain races are considered national championships. You have like a lot of them spread out through the year. It's not necessarily just a whole series.
00:57:01
Speaker
So like if you jump to national and then you get first, you win that national and you get this really cool number one plate. And that's the same for every single other national.
00:57:17
Speaker
The numbers that you guys carry on your bikes. Where did they come from? What do they mean to you? um number if what is and What is your number? I'm sorry. Yours is. no My number 23, and I picked it because i was born on September 23rd.
00:57:38
Speaker
So that's that's why I picked my number. There's no other reason that I could think of right now, I should say. so you're going stick with that one?
00:57:49
Speaker
Yeah, as long as I can.
00:57:53
Speaker
Um, so my number 62 and like the two digit numbers is really ideal. So I understand why trip would stick with 23. Um, my number used to be 162, which was also my grandfather's number, my dad's number and my brother's and that's where it came from. Um, I've tried to figure out like why they picked one 62. I, they don't have an answer. I guess that's just men's thought process. Sometimes just threw a number on the bike one day and it stuck. Um, and then I went to Loretta's and at Loretta's you can only run a two digit number. So we just tossed the one off of that 62 and it just, I stuck with it because I figured we're going to try to get to Loretta's again. So don't need to throw the one back in front of it. Right on.
00:58:36
Speaker
Yeah. Most, most people. When you hear the number 23, you either hear it for, you know, it's always about, you know, Michael Jordan or LeBron James or something like that. I'm glad that you, that wasn't the reason for you. I'm wanting 23. Do
00:58:56
Speaker
you have another question, Mark? Oh, hello. You don't have any more questions? ah No, they've answered them all. All right. so i let you i got a couple more. I'm going to keep going. I got a couple more if we're if we're okay. Is that okay, guys?
00:59:11
Speaker
ah Bike build. Bike builds. Are there any modifications that are able to be done to your motorcycles? If so, who does those for you? Um...
00:59:23
Speaker
There are certain classes where they're not allowed to have any bike work and that's normally the limited classes. But there are other classes where you're allowed to modify your engines.
00:59:34
Speaker
So like in my class, the the classes that I run, i don't have any any limitations. So I could do whatever i want to the motor unless I don't change the CCs because that would be cheating.
00:59:49
Speaker
So. I have like one bike that I had have bone stock, which is probably one of my favorite bikes. And then I have the other two bikes have some stuff done to them.
01:00:02
Speaker
I don't know what. um But my mechanic is Jimbo from Too Fast MX, and he does an outstanding job on the motors.
01:00:15
Speaker
He's been doing them for a very long time, so...
01:00:21
Speaker
So my dad's motto is it's not the bike, it's the rider. um So usually my bike is just pretty stock. Suspension, I think, is the most important thing. We always go with factory connection.
01:00:35
Speaker
They always get it right for me. And I think suspension just really changes the whole way the bike maneuvers. It's based on weight, height and everything. And there's such a variability in people's height and weights. like I wouldn't want Tripp to jump on my bike right now because we're two completely different people. So suspension, you can do basic things, tires and stuff like that. I've never ridden with a paddle tire, and some people would say that's insane.
01:01:01
Speaker
Some people change their paddle tires, like like change a regular tire to a paddle tire just for one or two races. um And then of course motor work, ah my dad did some on the super minis for Loretta's and stuff like that, but we just show up and race, you know, it's, it's up to the rider. If you're not fast enough and then you're not going to make it.
01:01:24
Speaker
Now, of before we like hold on. I got one, one question. So you got a, you got a motorbike in front of you. Can you actually strip it down and put it back together?
01:01:37
Speaker
I could take it apart, but I don't know how to put it all together.
01:01:43
Speaker
No. Actually, it's funny, though, because people people like ride their scooters in Gainesville, and they ask like they know I race dirt bikes, and so they'll ask me ah how to change their oil and stuff, and I can do that, but I couldn't take a bike apart. but So you know the common sense stuff to do to it? I can do common sense stuff, and it's scary the amount of people who cannot do that.
01:02:04
Speaker
All right, guys, before we let you go, um is there anything else that you want to talk about before we let you go? No. No, but thank you for having me on.
01:02:17

And if you want more followers, hopefully you will get them. um Yeah, I don't know my Facebook one because my mom does the Facebook. But I know my Instagram is trip underscore car 23 with one P.
