A call from Mitch Payton reunited the Langston family - One of the best Gypsy Tales stories ever!
Рет қаралды 26,740
2 жыл бұрынWith his parents going through a divorce as Grant Langston was in his teenage years, his mother relocated to San Diego while he and his father raced in Europe. After a holiday to visit his mother and sister, GL knew that the phones would one day call for a ride in the US and that would be the chance he had been waiting for to get the family back together.
//
Grant Langston is a South African World and AMA Motocross Champion, was the voice of the AMA Outdoors, along side Jason Weigant, for almost 8 seasons and owns one of the premiere motorcycle dealerships in the United States. He also happens to be one of the most fun dudes in the industry and I am so stoked I was able to chat at length with the man we call GL!

Man you must have some great stories to tell too! I used to buy racer x mag to follow these guys back in the early 2000s, parents didn't have cable so I couldn't watch the races.

You can tell he’s not trying to choke up when he said “at home alone and flat broke” he knows the pain his mother suffered just for him to ride a bike.

I met your parents at Ralph's, your mom first. Ran into them at Home Depot too, I had on a Langston shirt I got at the Elsinore location. Your dad, had a second take. This was about 5 years ago, nice people.

Such an awesome story and dude to have in the Gypsy...Been a huge fan of Grant since I was a kid and always looked up to him, actually got his M2R replica as soon as soon as it came out and still have it. Ironically he was the first actual race team guy suspension I ever got to touch when I first started working at PC in 06...i’ll never forget how stoked I was to be able to do that at the beginning stage of my suspension career. Dude is awesome n I really missed his announcing the end of the mx season!

From day 1 when Langston came to America I’ve been a hardcore fan of his. Was sad to see him walk away when he did cuz I kno he had a lot more he coulda done if not for injuries.his florescent orange n zebra stripe M2R Helmet is only pro model helmet I’ve ever wanted.

Very cool...im not sure if people realize but having comments is good because i useally check an see what cool things are being replied an i learn a lot because sometime most ill be i wonder if that rider to left is blah blah...an useal in the comments someone will say hey blank was to the right in tjeir first race as a pro or what ever...so i got my answer an it was right there...plus when u look at a u tube video its kind good to see a little review...i never worry about negative stuff because they are living in their own private idaho ho ho...they just dont know facts...so having comments is like having a good review its feedback...regardless
