Episode 31- I can make the Tools to Slide! Hans Andersen

Greg recently ran into long time friend and fellow speedway competitor Hans Andersen down in Småland, Sweden. They met up at the MX World Collection on route to their first home match with Dackarna. Hearing the whole story of how hard Hans has worked to get where he is today as well as maintaining a family lifestyle is impressive. The youth of today could learn a thing or two about dedication and working to achieve your goals. Success starts with a dream as well as looking up to your idols. Hans has captained Denmark to World Team Championship success and he continues to strive for more World Championship success for both himself as well as the Danish national team. You will understand what a cool and inspirational guy he is and its no wonder Greg calls him a friend.

Episode 29- We Fly -a- LOT! RZE-EWR with Michal Tabisz

We were invited to the inaugural launch of the LOT Polish Airlines flight from Rzeszow, Poland to Newark, NJ in the USA. First we attended Greg’s  race with Stal Rzeszow against Rawicz on Sunday April 29th which they won and then joined this huge event at Rzeszow Airport at 9AM the following morning April 30th! Greg rode into the airport on a Harley provided by Game Over Cycles in Rzeszow and then joined Rzeszow Airport CEO Michal Tabisz on stage to make an official presentation to all the public and media that we would be joining the inaugural flight to Newark. This event was put together in a matter of 3 weeks and all handled by Michal Tabisz and his staff together with LOT Polish Airlines. What a fascinating individual he is. There is much more on the horizon but you have to hear this short interview with Michal live at the airport just 1 hour before we made the journey on the LOT boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Stay tuned for more on this amazing journey. Be sure to follow our new hashtag which will have more meaning in the weeks ahead. #irideLOT

Episode 28 - Making Magic

This week’s episode 28 is with Maciej Janowski and we are calling it: “Making Magic”! Everyone knows my log time relationship with Magic and this is truly one of the most awaited episodes that I’ve wanted. He is such an amazing kid with a huge heart and massive love for the game. I’ve had the pleasure of helping him a little on his run up to the current day but it has to be said that Magic has made it on his own. My mechanic Rafal Haj picked up Magic from an early age of about 12 years old and introduced him to me when he was 13. Magic has always had the look in his eye and that’s what had me sold on the kid from day one. He could not even speak english when we first met but he has grown to be a great human being and a massive star in his home country of Poland. I am proud to say that I know Maciej Janowski and will stand behind him always. Even though we compete against each other, we have a huge mutual respect for one another. Watch him continue to grow!! - Greg Hancock

Episode 25- Stranded!! Chris Holder

Stefan and I caught up with Chris who is stranded in the UK without a passport and therefore cannot leave the country to go to work and chase his racing career ambitions not can he compete in the UK either. It’s a difficult time for Chris who has been battling some personal issues for the last year and a half. All he wants to do now is get everything cleared up, have his time with his son Max and move forward with his racing. We are happy that Chris agreed to join us yet again and wish him all the best.

Episode 24- Speedway Best Pairs

Episode 24 was recorded on Sunday evening March 25th over a web link from the Hotel lobby in Gdansk, Poland. Greg was joined by Jack Holder and Darryl “Dizz” Thornton from Monster Energy Europe. Greg and Jack along with Pawel Przedpelski were teamed up for the Monster Energy Team at the Speedway Best Pairs last Sunday. Pawel couldn’t be with us but Darryl “Dizz” was our Team Manager replacing Monster Joe who was at another event in the desert.

We had a cool and very casual chat about the Speedway Best Pairs, Jack Holder’s season ahead, what it’s like for Dizz to work for Monster Energy as well as his role with the company and at the Speedway Best Pairs in Torun. We believe that you will

Love this episode. After you hear it, you will see that we will definitely have a follow up episode with Jack Holder! 😉😬 Cool and rather comedic at the same time.
