During Episode #10, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Derek to explore the multifaceted challenges of amateur motocross, diving deep into topics like bike setup and technological innovation. Derek shared how he recently rekindled his passion for research and development after feeling stuck in routine work. Leveraging advancements in CNC machining and 3D printing, he’s been working on groundbreaking projects that push the limits of motocross equipment. One particularly fascinating initiative he highlighted was the creation of interchangeable 3D-printed cylinder head ports, enabling rapid testing of different designs without committing to costly, permanent modifications. This innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize development and experimentation in the sport, making high-level customization more accessible to riders and teams.
Our conversation then shifted to the critical importance of understanding a bike’s baseline performance before investing in major adjustments or aftermarket parts. Derek emphasized that small tweaks—such as sag, fork height, and clicker settings—can drastically improve a bike’s performance, an insight I strongly agree with. I shared how journaling after every ride is an invaluable tool for tracking what works and what doesn’t, allowing riders to fine-tune their setups for a balance that suits diverse track conditions. We stressed the importance of optimizing for overall performance across a track, even if it means accepting compromises in specific sections. This holistic approach to motocross, when paired with proper rider preparation—like hydration, nutrition, and mental clarity—creates a powerful formula for success. Ultimately, we concluded that consistent effort, thoughtful adjustments, and a commitment to the learning process are what separate great riders from the rest.
