Ryan, thanks for having the balls to be 100% honest about your life. I can relate and I’ll bet a lot of other people can too. We don’t get enough honesty out of peoples’ mouths these days.

This conversion is amazing. Such a good example of how two men hash things out & talk about the more important things in life away from moto. Deep!

This is the best cooksey episode. Ryan so inspiring and so relatably great conversation. Thank you

Ryan is so good at explaining things from his life. I appreciate his words of wisdom

Ryno nailed it. Props to him for opening it up for everyone to see and understand. Great experience to listen to and he's absolutely correct. Great job, Cooksey!

This is why is respect you and follow your videos. You don’t see many people willing to admit that they are wrong and also willing to talk face to face with the person you mad the mistake with. Glad to know Ryno is in a good place. Much love!!

Ryan gave my brother his riding pants. Green purple Kawi pants at barona race track in California back in 97. Such an amazing human

Mega props to both for having an honest and well balanced exchange.

Videos like this is why cooksey is so popular and his channel is growing so much. We as consumers enjoy his willingness to be wrong and admit his mistakes. He truly cares about the sport and the people in it. Thank you Cooksey and great job having RH to the channel.

Ryno is fucking awesome the world needs more people like him remember one thing Ryno your never alone and what you have accomplished in Your career will always reflect you

You did a good thing with the report the other day, and your reasoning is valid. Thanks for asking Hughes about his training Forkner. You should have him as a guest often.

I’m glad you did this Cooksey. I’ve definitely had my ups and downs with moto content. The difference is we don’t cancel people. Keep at it my friend.

Good job Ryno and Cooksie. I’m impressed with Ryno and how he faced this issue. I think the old Ryno would have handled this totally different but instead he calmly had conversation with the guy and they worked out the issues man to man. This was a good example of 2 grown men working out an issue respectful of the others take on it. I am hopeful more can learn from this interview.

Fricken awesome Cooksey ! Good show !!!

Ryno is the fucking man. He’s helped me so much with my mentality and we’ve never even met. Truly someone I am appreciative for!

I got go riding with Ryan Hughes and Danny Laporte on a private track day at cahuilla creek sometime around 2005. It is one of my best memories from racing. Back then I was 6'3" 160ish and I always worried about my weight. He was the only guy that ever told me to put on more weight. I ended up putting on 20lbs at the gym and went from a top 10 C racer to a midpack A racer. Idk if I would've had the confidence to put on the weight without him getting in my ear. Excellent interview!

Ryan is great. He’s the crazy intense guy you say how’s your day and two hours later you can’t get away and 100% correct on every subject. He’s the Alex Jones of motorcross.

We are all human, takes a big man to apologize. Keep up the good work Cooksey!

Ryano is so on point,, I wonder if he knows he’s totally full of PTSD like many of us older riders,,

I'm glad you did this Cooks good that you and Ryno worked things out. It was easy for all of us to assume things at times with Ryno but he always seems to come back with logic. I don't think either of you was sugar coating. Keep up the good stuff, loved beating on Steve M on the Lorettas chat he was a good sport (I believe it really was him). Good cyberbench racing.

Ryan Hughes is the man. I got to meet him at Perris Raceway with Jeff Emig, David Bailey, and a few others they hosted a benefit training session for local rider Shane Kelly that passed away. ❤

Cooksey, great job listening to one of the big personalities in the sport. You swallowed your pride and took down the video. It's awesome to see you show so much respect to Ryno. Sure the dude is a Kook and out there, but he is very intelligent. You're winning me over. Great work!!!!!

Damn Ryan ... Really dig the mindset and your spot on about everything. Keep on keeping on. #respect

Just a great interview.. its hard to do.. especially with a legend.. proud of Ryan for doing that.. most dudes our age wouldn't bother.. Great wook Cook

Lucky you, Cooksey -- talking to Ryno! Never met Hughes myself, but I did watch him for 8 years until his retirement in 2005. I wish I could get those interviews like you can.

Good shit. Ryno just had a buzz and was feelin it and someone put a camera phone in his face. I've always seen him as out there a little bit, in a good way. He's different and doesn't care. Nice to see you two cleared things up and had a back and forth. Cooksey, keep it up!

The fact that Rhino didn’t absolutely rip you a new one proves that he has better mental health than me 😂 I do wonder if he tuned you in off of camera though 🤔 Great job Cooksey, keep ‘em coming 🙏

Love Ryno & love your content. You call it as you see it & you have the humility to be able to talk it out if you get it wrong & you leave no stone unturned. I find that SO refreshing here in the moto community & it makes me respect you & your content a lot because you handle these situations with a constant pursuit of truth & respect, no matter what. Keep it up & good vibes!🤙🏻

This is fucking GOLD Cooksey! I love Ryno, he always raced/lived with passion. For him to open up like that, is helping me in my struggles ❤

Mad respect for doing this

Love the honesty of weakness here between two grown men! Great content Chris. Keep up the work!!!

Dont change a thing Cooksey, you say things how you feel about it. I agree with you on damn near everything. You've also never shyed away from admitting you were wrong and go out of your way to make it right. Keep up the good work man the Mob loves you.

Awesome interview! Such a man move to come face to face with your actions and still maintain the intention of the integrity of them. Always two sides to every story and both sides have validity.

You are so good for the sport please keep up the good work thank you again I've had nine concussions into traumatic brain injuries mostly do for motorcycle racing and playing and people don't know the struggles that we all have gone through

Great show! Mad respect to the both of you! So much insight packed into this one video!

Internal decapitation has a 90%+ rate of death, 3/4 die immediately. Ryno is such a deep person, with a talent for self reflection and self evaluation, that most people don’t possess. Always interesting to get a glimpse of what is going on in that brain of his.

I love Ryan Hughes. Great teacher

The crazy thing with Ryan is that everything he says makes sense. His training videos are life changing.

Great interview with a great amount to digest and take in. Some powerful stuff!

I just retired from a 34 year career as an airline pilot, most of my career I was the captain of the ship. That same year my my youngest graduated from college, and moved out to start his career. Talk about feeling like a fish out of water….. the satisfaction of flying a beautiful machine, and being in charge of the aircraft and crew was very fulfilling. Then my surfing, buddy, my son, had to move away to start his new career. It’s been tough….. I am thankful for Jesus and my wife being with me each and every step…..

Thanks for doing the grown man thing and following up with Ryno after the drama. Cooksey for the fuckin win every time

Glad you landed a badass interview ✌🏼🔥

Rhino and Eli tomac have a lot in common do live in solitude rhino lives out in the desert and Eli lives out in the middle of Colorado in the mountains his philosophical outlook on riding work ethic from Eli is why he a multi-time champion

Keeping your head right after your peak is just a fond memory, is tough. Happens to us mortals too, when we start to get older and have to slow down.

Thanks Reno.. We follow you since a long time... Thanx for being so open..!!

The important thing isn’t the mistake, it’s how you handle the mistakes or the hard times that define you.

Real motocross! Most important piece I've seen in this sport.

Great job guys !!!

This great to hear things are ok... Thx for posting Cookie

Awesome interview, love Ryno and his mindset and philosophy!

Cooksey keeping it real as aways. Breath of the fresh air.

Ryno's a great guy. He works hard and has been through a lot just like anyone who's rode moto forever and to see him be able to be comfortable and happy around his friends and someone records him with malicious intent is just messed up. People are not genuine like they used to be.

Dude you should ask Ryno to do a 30 minute show with you once a week you guys are great, it was awsome

Ah this was a cool interview man … good stuff mate 👌

I love it when another episode of Jerry springer drops❤

Awesome interview!

Don’t care how fast you want your kid to go, I’m not leaving my child alone with this guy.

Wow! Well said you two! Well said….

Hmmmmmmm..... Seeing this vid, I now love Ryno even more than I did before. Also...Cooksey, I have even more respect for you now than ever before. SALUTE!!

Really enjoyed this one

Love the videos! 🎉

Being wrong okay....especially when one acknowledges such and makes way for the facts and truth! Good Job Cooksey...

great interview!!!

I love the honesty in Ryan and cooksey excellent discussion

Huges might be a mad genius

Most people have it backwards. They think they need to change their thoughts to get better results in life but it's the other way around. Change your behavior first and your thoughts will improve as a result. That's right, "just do it" is good advice not just an ad slogan.

He talked his way out of his drunk behavior. I did that for over 20 years. Been sober now for 7 years.

great interview

Does anyone have a copy or link to the video he posted?

You should read the 4 agreements Cooksey. The third agreement of the 4 agreements is never make assumptions.

Ryno responded to you with respect and elaborated on his views about life, good conversation. I hope he can give you some insight on topics to expose more truth in the sport.

Cooksey, please don’t apologize for posting, we’re adults here if you didn’t post someone would have, and your right had friends that said everything great and then got the call also , found on beach, DOA, doing a great job!

This is good stuff !

Good job Cooksey. You had your opinion and then had Rihno on and worked it out. Good job.

Cooksey is the Maury Povich of motocross lol. Love the content man keep it up 👍.

Good interview Ryno is a good dude

I mean he was walking around with his dickroot out. That wasn't a joke lol.

I can relate to his story on being married, then being alone, it's REAL. I feel for the guy now, to be honest with you.

I’m shocked reading these comments. Ryno’s excuse for being plastered and acting inappropriately with a young lady he’s known since she was 13 is “it’s Loretta’s” if that was my daughter and a drunk man was bothering her with his dick root hanging out he’d be eating his teeth. If he thinks it’s OK why did he ask you to pull the video?🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Real Talk Ryno. Even More of A fan Now

Now that's how to address a misunderstanding, but courage is required.

Its a good job Ryno took that so well. Maybe next time ask the person if they're okay in private, rather than making a public video putting the question out there. And then make a video explaining how you reached out as you and others have seen the video, but good news, hes okay. If he wasn't okay this could have been terrible for his mental health.

I love you are going to tell ryno what this industry does to guys…. Coke on man he’s been in it forever and is 100% legit…. My son trained with him in early 2000s and he’s still going strong

Dude... You got served. In the coolest way ; )

NICE INTERVIEW. I WAS A KNOKCOUT ARTIST IN FOOTBALL EARLY 2000S. THEN MX TOOK MY BODY TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF DAMAGE. AFTER THAT, I WENT PRO AT PARTYING... I HAVE LOST THREE MX FRIENDS TO THE PARTY FAZE.

I don't know Ryan Hughes personally. But he strikes me as a very deep individual when he explains things.If you listen he gets very passionate That's why he is deep and if you listen to him and follow,you will get him as a individual. Cooksey this is not directed at you.just talking about average individual who doesn't get him

Cooksey, so glad you checked in on Ryno. Seems like all is good. He didn't seem to upset with the video.

Good to see Ryno. He's smashing it with Mike, Big Dick Richie, Dallas and Tito. Making bank bro

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Retired mxers should go race cross country. Still in the moto industry camping and enjoying the vibe of family and racing...

I’m proud of you .. good job.

The technic got to its maximum with Jett Lawrence !!!

When the interweb was born...... I got a new form of entertainment from moto that I never could have imagined. 🤣

Ryno is a great mentor..good job cooksey..

Good to see you Ryan. Glad you did this! You know you could always call or text me. Hawaiian time… it’s basically never even late at night. Haha! Want to be on my Ultraman crew in Nov? My comment on that last video wasn’t too far off 😉

Understanding the true EGO. Ryan gets it.

❤️💪🏻

Glad you enjoyed some of Pappies Tennessee cough medicine.

I don’t think you were wrong at all for posting the first video. I have a lot of respect for Ryan and have been a fan of his since the beginning. With that said, I’m not so sure that he doesn’t have a real problem. I wouldn’t keep apologizing for posting the video, and I would continue to do the same thing in any future situations in order to, bring to light anybody that may have a mental issue. You can always resolve it later as you did here in this video.

Well done on posting this, and good on Ryno! But hey, it is not 1990s anymore?? Damn!! I wish it was!!! The good old days... when "what happens on tour, stays on tour" Now, whatever happens anywhere on the planet gets filmed, and soon the whole world can watch it online. One way I think the sport is doing better in regards to former champs and top guys, some racers are brand ambassadors, or even coaches, test riders and so on. They are keeping busy in the sport. Sure not enough spaces for everyone, but i think a lot more than before. Straight Rhythm... and select events the former pros come out for. They peak early, and everyone says "yes" to them etc when they are winning. As soon as you pass the peak.. it is massive life change. Ryno is right... people all of kinds feel it, we need to go back to the "village" where we have friends and such around us. Get off social media, know they neighbor. Ryno... if you read this, take up trail bike riding. You can take it has easy or hard as you want, but being out in the wild with nature, on a dirtbike, is awesome. It is a LIFE style.
