VIDEO: Tommy Gun shoots from the hip on the Torq Moto Show
The latest episode of the Torq Moto Podcast Show, driven by Talon sees no stranger to being interviewed or being on a podcast, as hosts DocWob and Jeffro sit down for a candid chat with Tommy Searle. Arguably the best British Motocross rider of his generation and now seemingly bridging the gap to the next generation of British and World Motocross racers through his very popular vlogs on his YouTube channel and the ‘2 Pro, 1 Slow’ podcast with friends Billy Bolt and Ed Warren, Tommy swings by to the Torq Moto studio to chew the fat on his time in the sport.
Words & Images: Torq Moto
Rather than talking mostly about current affairs in Motocross and his life, on the Torq Moto Podcast, Tommy talks more to DocWob and Jeffro about his illustrious career, his rivalries and relationships with Tony Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings, and what his time was like racing and living in the America and sharing that adventure with Ed as two young men far from home. Also, on the agenda is how much fun he’s now having and in particular racing last year’s VMXDN at Foxhill, as well as taking it indoors to race the Arenacross UK tour, which he won in 2023, but already has his back up against the wall in his defence of the title for 2024 as he explains. Tommy also tells how his journey in Motocross all started and the relaxed influence his parents have had on his career, plus how he’s going to try to avoid being a stereotypical ‘MX Dad’. The trio also discuss the potential future of young British riders such as Bobby Bruce and Billy Askew and how the UK MX scene compares with Europe. As usual there are loads of topics discussed in the hour-plus long show and no doubt Tommy will be in again further down the line for another chat, as even he was left wanting more. There’s even an unexpected guest that drops in on the sofa.
