QUESTION:
“ During the last few weeks, we’ve been talking about the fuel crisis, great moments of being a mechanic, and road-trip stories. So this week, I thought of something that would be interesting to know. What do these guys plan on doing after they retire from motocross? Let’s see what these riders had to say. "

“I would like to go into the restaurant business, and I would also like to help some kids out who are coming up through the ranks with their training and riding, and maybe even do my own schools.”
|
“I’ve always wanted to start my own clothing company. Not riding gear but a cool, casual line. Something in the skate or motocross industry.” |

“I’ve always thought about teaching kids how to ride; I’m really good at watching people and helping them out with their riding. I definitely want to do something in the sport—maybe some kind of team deal, but we’ll have to see how my career goes!”
|
“I really don’t know. I’ve tossed around some ideas about doing some real estate or getting into business with my dad. I’m sure I could get some kind of job in the industry but I have a family now, so I don’t think I’ll want to travel as much as I do now.”

“Something in the industry. I would like to make some 50 movies and do some track promoting. I would also like to promote some 50 races and freestyle events.” |
“I would like to run a restaurant with my wife. We like to cook, so I think it would be fun. People say its hard work, but what isn’t?”

“I would like to stay in the motocross industry, but I enjoy so many other things. I’m not really sure, but I wouldn’t mind being a test rider. I definitely want to stay active and not sit behind a desk. I guess I’ll race for a couple more years and see where it takes me.” |
“Racing has been good to me, but when it’s over I just want to live a normal life. I want to buy my kids a set of golf clubs or a tennis racket and be the best father I can be.”
