Linked up with Leatt Protectives Cole Martinez recently to capture his first day back on the bike for Part 2 of “The Recovery Process” and was stoked he was down to run the GoPro in one of our favorite locations. What we call “The Mug Shot”.
Check out this unique view of a lap around Pala Raceway and take note of how still Cole’s head remains while charging over all the obstacles.
Links below for “The Recovery Process” part 1 and 2.
Throwback to a behind the scenes piece we did for GoPro / Troy Lee Designs of Mitchell Oldenburg.
See a little of what its like to be a top level Pro Motocross athlete and how they prepare. From gate drop at Unadilla, to the checkers the following week at Buddscreek, and everything in between.

Injuries aren’t fun but they’re apart of not just racing Moto, but life. And as the cliche quote goes “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”. Stoked for our Leatt/WJE Family member Cole Martinez who’s finally back on the bike after a severe leg injury. Check out this piece we recently made of that special first day back on the bike 👊🏼“You don’t realize how much you miss it.”During the last episode of The Recovery Process, our own Cole Martinez gave us all the details on his severe leg injury and how he had just made the tough decision to keep living the dream, racing his dirt bike. Part 2 covers the big day that all riders dream of while recovering from injury. The first day back on the bike. Get inside Cole’s head and life in this episode of The Recovery Process.🎥 @jarredbrowne#LeattFamily #ScienceOfThrill #Motocross
UnaF*ckinDilla. One of the most beautiful, treacherous, and flat out picture perfect examples of what Professional Motocross is all about. So in honor of the 49th annual running of the Unadilla Pro Motocross National this weekend, I’ve decided to share some of my experiences from the historical race track.
My first time at Unadilla was while I was still competing back in 2009. Which was my second year racing outdoors professionally. I had 9-9 Moto finishes for 11th overall (that hurt) which was my best overall finish at a professional outdoor national.

My second trip to Unadilla came in 2011, again while being a competitor. I had a pretty big crash at the Dallas Supercross earlier in the year and was trying to make a strong comeback from a dislocated wrist, shattered knee cap, and broken collarbone. I raced the first Moto and after barely being able to hang on at the end of the race, I decided not to line up for Moto 2. It didn’t go as smooth as my 09 trip but at least there’s this cool shot from practice!

My next trip to the Thrilla came in 2014, this time working for @gopro mounting the cameras and pushing all their athletes buttons. I hung up my racing boots in 2013 due to another big get off in Supercross and was stoked to be back at the races after spending some time away from it.
I was back at it again in 2015 and 2016 doing more with/for @gopro and I also starting working with @LeattProtectives creating content and making sure their athletes were taken care of at the races.
That’s it! Looking forward to my next trip! Maybe next year?-JB425
“It’s different, but this was more fun.”
Last time we checked in with Ryan Sipes he was racing a 125cc 2-stroke against the 4-strokes in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series.
We caught up with Ryan again at this year’s stop at #RedBudMX where he joined the rest of the racers and competed on a 4-stroke.
In this episode of “My Dirtbike Life” he gives us the rundown on the comparison between the two machines and what he thinks he can achieve on it moving forward.

Get In the Moment with #LeattFamily member and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross competitor Lorenzo Locurcio who, after missing the first two rounds of this year’s MX season, came out on a mission since his return at round 3, swinging his way well into the top ten.
He updates us on what the transition from #Supercross to #Motocross was like, the struggles of being a Privateer trying to put together a program to go racing, and what its been like mixing it up with the best racers on the planet.

Leatt Family member Ryan Sipes has been a man on mission, not only throughout his career, but especially in 2018. Racing everything from Flat Track, to select rounds of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series aboard a 125cc 2 – stroke.
We have some good dudes that are a part of the Leatt Protectives Family. Check out this video I put together that just dropped of our boy Cole Martinez. We hang out at his house, play video games, and a few months later link up at the beach to talk about his progress since his leg injury from his crash at the Daytona Supercross.
