CHAPTER LXIII Ft. Seth Enslow

Seth Enslow is really a man that needs no introduction. He is a true legend of the came and also a myth when it comes to two wheels. He was a pioneer in the freeride movement and then again in the distance game. One of the original Crusty Demons of Dirt and a guy who inspired a generation.

I still have 6 original VHS Tapes of Crusty Demon of Dirt I bought back In the early 1990s .... I brought them everywhere to show everyone... I miss riding with my friends....

[@tylerclees6226]

Seth Enslow,.....that’s a legend right there, I remember my murdered out YZ250 with Black Fly stickers plastered all over and sporting my LBZ riding gear.....anybody remember that stuff?!!!!!!

[@bryandonatonash5506]

Absolutely! BURMBANGERS!!!

[@GYPSYTALES]

Dude was so legit aye! LBZ and SMP were the OG

[@nertz4579]

My mind is fucking blown right now. Knowing there is someone with the same last name as I have. have seen close but not the same

[@billytheweasel]

@ExPresident Donald J Trump < That's cool

[@the_worm_hole]

Fresno Smooth......had it on VHS.

[@stuartjamieson2427]

I'm 53 now. Was laying in bed and I just thought I wonder what seth enslow is doing now. That's a big influence after all these years. That's how much impact he had. Legend

[@supermotolunatic]

Seth and the Mulisha were a big influence on me in the early 2000’s I rode from head to toe in black gear, polished out the frame and swinger on my 01’ CR and decked it out with black plastics and MM stickers. I crashed so much trying to emulate these guys

[@Toxic_Coma]

That was pretty much me but with the 1999 YZ250 complete w pro tapers Mazda chaparral graphics I wanted the Works PC pipe but ended up w the platinum PC pipe. if anyone has owned abworks pipe they know it will rust fast as hell if you don’t stay on top of it..

[@danstevens2204]

Shame to see such an iconic rider have to work construction. Seth Enslow should be paid for life for his contributions.

[@jessesdomain444]

I know. Sounds like he may have been shorted for all of his work

[@GYPSYTALES]

Yeah pretty crazy

[@rufusthewonderdog162]

What a legend. Seth is the reason I sold my road bikes and got a dirt bike. No regrets.

[@buck_maize111]

Seth was my favorite back in the day. All those guys were higher than life. Seth, Metzger, Hart, link, deegan, pastrana, mad Mike Jones.. now I just wanna watch them all again

[@VlogEpicness]

Gotta respect someone like Seth that was so fearless and would just send it.

[@GYPSYTALES]

Yeah dude! We had them on in the studio for days after this

[@austinhart9318]

Let Seth Ride!!

[@GYPSYTALES]

AMEN

[@buck_maize111]

Dvds.. pfft.. I bought the newest crustys or any moto film on vhs.. there were no dvds

[@danstevens2204]

Nick Clutterbuck vhs and a soundtrack on CD if you could get one 👍

[@GYPSYTALES]

Yeah your right, just so used to saying DVDs these days

[@mattburnett4185]

now you can get the crusty toolbox with 16 dvds, but yeah, i still call them videos.

[@christopheralt5881]

[@xafbxmoto269]

When I was a kid we would rent them for n vhs from a video store, I miss the old days.

[@BrokeDown724]

I love this, I’m 35 and grew up watching all the stuff they talked about. So fun to listen to Seth talk about how it all worked out for him. And when he said “it was a disaster” when he rode with McGrath and those guys I laughed so damn hard.

[@Ellwoodsss1]

This dude was a legend when I was a kid in WNY mid 90's. Never knew he raced there!

[@nSpiraliArchitectb]

"We attach a melody to a memory." Sick quote.

[@sierrasixgrey]

Seth... he made No Fear a lifestyle. I am forever reverent to his life and ambitious way of not accepting impossible.

[@littlebuddy7293]

Seth I have been rolling the dice all my life. 5th gear pinned 2 stroke. The sound of that 2 stroke gets you hyped. Just the sound. Not a lot of people used 5th jumping then. Get a adrenaline rush watching his old footage. Legendary.

[@GYPSYTALES]

Yeah so good aye

[@farcarnoth]

I was so pumped to come across this, awesome interview! My crusty 1 tape was on continuous rotation. Take me back to the 90s

[@patrickfarrell7598]

Wow what a phenomenal interview! Amazing "outside the box" questions with honest opinionated answers. Hands down one of the best motocross podcasts ive heard! Cant wait for part2!

[@GYPSYTALES]

Thanks mate means a lot. Not everyone likes this style but greatfull for the people that do

[@bradburlingame798]

I bought a 98 cr 500 in 99 because of Seth. Fucking changed my life, I Huck sleds now. Speed and bleed! thanks Seth

[@GYPSYTALES]

Thats amazing, inspired so many people

[@2strokesmoke857]

He had cr 250 with the 500 buts still a crazy bike

[@kingsamson9146]

Holy shit, I remember watching The Hard Way with my buddy on VHS, in like 2003. Never rode motocross bikes myself but accompanied my bestie to the track quite often, sure as hell I know all the OG Crusty dudes...what a fricken travel back in time!

[@easyfromtnbtw3555]

My childhood hero I’ll never forget that dune jump and seeing the bike with the wheels bent flat

[@easyfromtnbtw3555]

@Glock Dude yeah he’s a legend for sure. FULL SENDER

[@dragonsnatch1146]

What's crazy is that Ozzy said how he came into music. Plan B the questionable video then snowboarding videos and then dirt bike videos! Created the addiction. Now I'm 50 and the bug has done into my skin again. Riding dirt bikes in the desert is freedom, probably one of the only good things about southern California, that and dessert fishing 🎣 haha !

[@benwhatley5107]

That was great to see a podcast with Seth! He was a mentor! I enjoyed watching him through the years!!

[@GYPSYTALES]

Thanks man, was stoked to get one with him aye! Came together crazy easy.

[@Maczust63]

Me and my dad would watch crusty almost every weekend. We would always say that quote "you have some serious problems you need to work out with yourself" after you jumped that huge dune jump to flat. Fuck those were good times. Crusty 1, steel roots, terraferma 7, the great outdoors 2003 were my all time favorites.

[@GYPSYTALES]

Crazy era for dirt bikes aye

[@llla4091]

Best great outdoors

[@THRASHED05]

Seth is a beast I grew up all my life watching crusty demons Seth was my favorite rider dirtbikes have been my life and I still ride at 34 on all those tracks that Chad reed rode back in his day in cessnock Kurri kurri Australia me and my brother partied with Seth 8years ago on the crusty tour at Gosford never forget it. Full respect my brother ride or die.

I bet that was loose!

Dude 100%. Hes a legend aye.

[@Flynj121]

[@thewhiteeazye2728]

Dude crusty demons of dirt started my whole life. Lol my life started when I first watched Crusty on VHS at my neighbor's house at 11 yrs old. From tthen on all I wanted to do was Huck gaps and send huge heel clickers. Lol I used to get pumped the fuck up on crusty and go mob on my old beat up ttr 125 and throw ghetto heel clickers.

[@GYPSYTALES]

That's the best

[@collinmc90]

hell ya man same! All I had was my redline but god damn I was down at the BMX park EVERY DAMN DAY until i got my bike at 14 years old, that's a day I will never forget.

[@billytheweasel]

That's so punk. RIP those days.

[@Dopeassbikevids]

I watched crustysol on vhs at my friends House to,wah-hooooooo

Legendary brother! I’ll never forget when you all came and did unleashed the freaks at greyhound park and partied down after at the ranch afterwards best times of my life! 🤘

[@GYPSYTALES]

So good!

[@dblack1979]

That as one of the best shows I’ve ever been too.

[@yannberger]

Hi guys, a friend of mine sent me this link and can't thank him enough to dust off some memories; guess what I was working at Fox in 1997 in the design dept and indeed can assure you everything Seth said is totally correct about his involvement with Shift from the get go and Fresno Smooth movie etc... I'm surprised you guys didn't evoke the Crusty 2 video premiere in Hollywood blvd when the show turned as a huge riot, that was totally insane, everybody was there...(maybe a thousand people of the all industry) I was with the Fox brothers and you guys better believe Greg was sooo pissed off we didn't have a video cam back then! For sure no social media but trust me was the gnarliest thing I saw with cops all over the place, helicopter etc etc was sooo funny. Such thing nowadays would make worldwide headlines... Maybe it was better before social network indeed!

[@squeak350]

Didn’t have a bike as a kid but I had all the Crusty VHS’s, even did a high school project called crusty demons of smoke where we edited a film of friends doing burnouts and dirt drifts

[@GYPSYTALES]

Will work on it bro. Problem is the setting is so laid back its more of just a conversation. I don't see it as talking over as much as probing for more info. Always room to improve though.

Appreciate it mate

I hear ya Seth. Massachusetts born and raised I had shit. Worked towards a plumbing license but I stayed. I can’t complain but your the man bro.

[@bsh3649]

In the early 2000's i seen one of Seth's Cr 250's on display in a rotating glass case , i believe it was at Royal Distributing in Guelph Ontario Canada . Very cool to see up close and personal...No Wing no prayer 🙂

[@trangoadvisory]

Incredible insightful interview. Great questions and responses. I've never heard Seth speak so much. Love what I learned!

[@GYPSYTALES]

He was hard to get going! But stoked to bring everyone a podcast with him.

[@trangoadvisory]

@@GYPSYTALES keep at the well researched interviews you have skills

[@mxer4life25]

"as soon as you leave the take off of a ramp you know exactly where you're gonna land. Too far, too short, I'm fucked." Truer words have not been spoken than this about jumping.

[@philipsutton2316]

Wow - I was quite impressed here. I remember well the 'Crusty' era and all the madness here in Australia. To me Seth was just a junked-out/crazy. However, listening to him he is very intelligent, quite well 'read' and has very valid grounded insights into the current global problems. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Probably the thing that blew me away was the fact after all the money and all the sponsors over the big years, he's back to construction to pay the bills - this was very surprising! Philip

[@GYPSYTALES]

Yeah I found that crazy too

[@Hugo-py2ce]

Grew up watching these guys with Jeff emig, enslow, mcgrath ect..crusty demons of dirt! Still have all the DVDs haha. Theres nothing like those times, the original crazy f***s.

[@plokijij7856]

Definitely fan boy questions, 40 minutes of can you believe you got to be Seth Enslow! Doesn’t get past the first movie, like to hear about some of the times in Japan, France, and other countries they rode! I saw them in 1999 Sydney

[@andyashley6019]

Some of my best memories was meeting seth at club rubber then riding Glamis with Damien Sanders. Total eye opener moving from small town in oregon. Miss those yrs haha

[@shanedavies1944]

My favorite bike video was. On any Sunday. I was racing at the time and this was so inspiring for me. Then years later, Crusty Demons came out. My kids were racing then and when i saw it i went fuck off this in insane. Loved it. Saw you all at the very first Australian show. Still have the signed shirts hats etc Epic times. Thank you. Memories will stay with me for ever, .

I wonder what happened to the RM250 Seth rode on Crusty 1 & Wrecked on the Infamous Sand Dune Jump! Does it Still Exist or was it Scrapped or Parted Out?? - It would be an Awesome Historic Bike to Own, Could be Sittin' in Someone's Garage in Peices as Some Unknown Junker!!

Loved it, sick interview....just lost me a little at the end when they started talking about politics and conspiracy. Would of been good to hear Seth get interviewed on more of the moto industry instead of politics. It was such a sick era back in the day. There's enough politics and conspiracies on social media as it is, let's keep it moto related. Good job otherwise. Send it!
