Ryan Dungey opens up on his Hall of Fame career, rivalry with RV2 & if Eli Tomac was why he retired?

We are back for another episode of the podcast and this one is special. I am joined today by none other than Ryan Dungey. He is a future hall of famer and a multiple time Motocross and Supercross champion. On top of this he is a Husband, father and he runs a foundation that supports children with cancer and introduces bicycles into the lives of underprivileged children.

Ryan was also the first person I ever recorded a podcast with all the way back in 2017. At that time the concept of Gypsy Tales wasn’t even born yet, but that chat ignited what has become a great joy and passion in my life and it was really cool to get to sit down again years later.

On this awesome episode of the podcast we talked about how far he has come since 2017, what he has learned since retiring from the sport, his comeback season in 2022, reflecting on his rivalry with Jason Lawrence, his experience trying out for Factory Suzuki, living with Ricky Carmichael, his friendship with James Stewart, his partnership with brands like Target and Nike and much more.

Ryan is a brilliant guy and this was a joy to do.
