Nick Rodriguez - aka the "Natty King" is one of the major stars in the world of Jiu Jitsu and professional grappling. On this episode of the podcast we talk about steroids in Jiu Jitsu, breaking Gordon Ryan's foot and growing up a motocross kid.
Exploding onto the world stage only 5 years ago, the 'Black Belt Slayer' has defied all normal rules of grappling, medaling at the sports biggest tournament with only a handful of years training under his, now black, belt. On top of this Nicky has a rich history of motocross, riding as a young kid and selling his 450 to chase his athletic dream full time. I knew Nicky hadn't ridden in years, so we took two fresh Yamaha's to Glen Helen so Nicky could get a chance to ride again!
Before we get into this episode though, I wanted to share with you some awesome news regarding our first ever race, the Gypsy Tales 500.
Vurbmoto and Gypsy Tales are putting on an 8hr Grand Prix style event in Mesquite, NV. Using one of Gypsy’s favorite events, Australia’s Transmoto series, as inspiration, this will be an 8hr team or solo (for the Savages) race with your boys (or girls). The course will consist of a tamed down moto track and off-road loop, averaging 20 min lap times. The goal? Have fun, kick some beers and race your buddies. It’s worth noting this is a 125cc and Up race, no mini bikes allowed.
As far as the course goes, it will be part moto, part off-road - Sunday’s loop will be a unique course with an average lap time of 20 minutes. The loop will include terrain for the average rider along with a tamed down motocross track with no mandatory jumps. Again, this is a vibe race and will be built for all rider disciplines.
