Please please let the guests speak, I am happy you are doing this but remember the guest is the star not the interviewer

The 80s us Brits had numbers in the 500s to cheering on thorpe and Kurt to people like smith ,rob ,banks merv stuart coyle ,Willie Simpson we all had a horse in the race .

The 80s and early 90s were the best without a doubt, the support class was awesome, and the top 35 were next level, there were so many supported riders, it really was the golden era,

Nice to hear Rob speak! But again you guy’s are interrupting, talking amongst yourself’s or trying to answer the question you just asked!…….Let the man speak! Not going to stop me watching though! 👍🏼

Definitely buying this book. Top man Rob, always gave 120% in the GP’s. He had a great career and good to see him looking so well.

let the man speak!

Tis always nice to take a trip down memory lane, luv it, who's next 🎉🎉😂

What a great interview and my opinion this time is your interaction with Rob was perfect the back and forth painted a great picture especially for us who live in the USA and love the details! PS: Maybe Doc needs a Doc for a little closer inspection 😁❤️🙏

@48mins, the fact that it was so much effort to get there back in the day is probably why the racing was better! They had put so much into getting there that they weren’t going to leave anything on the table

I agree.. Lot of butting in.. Let guest talk without interrupting him.. Gets complicated wen back and too the decades.

I had the pleasure of being coached by Rob for a week at Bryan Wade's school and I'd support his views on past and present mx, I've now moved onto downhill mountain bike racing and similar things are happening there, all the tv rights have been bought by warner bros and they have dictated changes to the sport which have been detrimental.

Money, the route of all evil

Agree , the book is awesome 👍

Enjoyed this a lot.... especially analysing the "belief system" between champs and others being so important.

well done boys and rob you know what i think about your book its fantastic .

what you have to remember jeff and wob is it,s a totally different era these day,s back in the early seventies when i started schoolboy scrambling yes guys you heard right (scrambling) there was no social media or u tube we had to rely on t&mx news for reports and results every friday and i am going to second that 70,s and eighties was the golden era. our local ssc club had greg on the prototype 125cc ccm dusting up merv and believe me he didn,t take to kindly to getting beat lol.

Very enjoyable podcast.Fantastic book, worth every penny.

Bloody hell, thats another book i have to buy.

Great podcast guys 👏🏻

That's a great idea!

The problem is that racing is now expensive with all the extra costs. I don’t race that often. Looked at booking into a race in June and it cost £55 to enter, another £10 for a day licence and £10 for transponder hire.

Hi guys another comment wish u could get Kristian an jem Whatley loved seing both there career from school boy to 😊 🙏 pro i no it's big ask but would make my yr complete guy's 😊😊 🙏 it bring back lot 😊👍 memories for us all🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

just listened to the pod,rob was saying why? why better back then,not just because of hills etc,i will give a very simple answer as to why the vibe at a gp now is lifeless….being 500fucking miles away from the track,look back on the old gps how close the fans were to the track,hanging over fences nearly touching the riders,now your sat on a hill with binoculars 😵‍💫

Wob, you say people can follow riders on instagram now, in the 80s anyone was in touching distance of these guys when they walked around the paddock! You could bump into a Rob Andrews if you took your kids to a gp back then and that experience would put the motocross sparkle in a kids eyes for life. These days you can bump into do not pass this tape signs if you pay paddock entry fee! The riders attitudes and availability to fans back then are what kept the crowds coming. Trucks got bigger, tape went up, attendance went down!

It’s true!

I wish you could let the guests talk 😢 you ask questions and then carry on talking and poor rob is sat there 😮

one reason 4 strokes thats the biggest change that's killed the sport plus the old tracks were a nightmare now its all in a car park tracks

Nearly every go track is now the same stupid corners with bumps in that take lines away also tracks today are more rutty and less bumpy and four strokes don’t help the racing

You need to get rid of wob, bring good guests on and all you hear is him rattle on

Better not it was his idea to help bring more content to the mx industry. No one else does as much as tries too!
