Cooper Webb joins us for Chapter 378 of Gypsy Tales. Now a three-time Supercross champion, Webb heads into Anaheim 1 Supercross locked in and hungry, ready to battle for his fourth Supercross title.
Known as one of the most mentally feared competitors in Supercross, Cooper has built his legacy on resilience, pressure, and showing up when it matters most. You can never count him out. In this chapter, we dive deep into what makes Cooper tick, the mindset that separates him from the rest, and the untold stories behind his championship mentality.
We also break down the 2026 Supercross Championship, who Cooper sees as his biggest competition, and why he’s confident he can come out on top again.
A raw, honest look inside the mind of one of the greatest racers of his generation.

The 2025 Motocross of Nations did not disappoint! Team USA put on an incredible performance with their backup lineup, and we finally got to see the Coenen brothers’ raw speed go head-to-head against the Americans. There were standout rides across the board — Jo Shimoda repped Team Japan beautifully, while Tim Gajser and Team Slovenia scored their best-ever MXON finish! Team France crushed it once again with another podium, and the Lawrence brothers alongside Kyle Webster led Team Australia to back-to-back MXON victories! In this chapter of the podcast, we break down all the chaos — the crashes, track conditions, new rivalries, and the biggest storylines from the weekend. Tune in and join the debate 👇

The Gypsy Tales crew is back! Join us as we break down the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs from the Gold Coast. We give a bit of insight as to where we have been and why we weren't on the ground for the SMX Playoffs.

In this episode:
• SMX Championship recap - Why the format needs work
• Haiden Deegan vs Jo Shimoda
• Jett Lawrence's dominant 450SMX performance
• Hunter Lawrence's playoff push
• Why St. Louis was the best track of SMX 2024
• Charlotte's sketchy drag strip setup issues
• The problem with triple points scoring
• Chase Sexton crash
• Listener audio notes from the Gypsy Gang

We discuss the confusing Olympic-style scoring system, and why riders struggle with bike setup at drag strip venues and of course we had to give our take on the Deegan situation. Plus, hear our take on why St. Louis proved you don't need gnarly rhythm sections for great racing.
After a break for Cape York adventures, we're back with fresh perspectives on what worked and what didn't in SMX 2024. Should SuperMotocross move away from drag strips? Is the triple points system broken? We dive deep into all the controversial topics.
