It was a genius move on the part of KTM to hire Barcia for GasGas’ introductory year in American motocross.

[@papawheelie991]

And now you have Wlll Hahn also. Whew you guys at GasGas are making good decisions....wonder what new deals were made this year at Loretta's....... 👍👍👍

[@MrHabitat009]

The reason why I will be buying a gas gas and also for my daughter. I feel like barcia represents the gas gas brand so well. Ride hard ride fast and have fun doing it.

[@davidhaworth7152]

This^ Barcia deserves every penny he gets from GasGas and probably should get more.

[@LuckyNikitaBoba]

WTF? You buy a dirt bike because of an interview? Boy you're dumb. They love people like you. You buy the best bike because of performance and quality not because of some rider’s personality.

[@charlesprice7608]

@@LuckyNikitaBoba What wins on Sunday sells on Monday! Why do you think they hire certain riders. Just because say Suzuki or Honda has the number one rider doesn’t mean they have the best bike for most riders.

TLD GasGas has been such a good fit for Barcia. With BamTV and interviews like this, its only going to grow his fanbase and really show how great of a rider/person he really is

[@jerryd.4767]

I agree, I said on an earlier post of his on his channel that he looks so freaking comfortable on that GasGas ride. I'm a huge fan of Gerrit Wolsink ( being Dutch myself) and their riding styles are really similar i.e WFO and don't worry what's behind you with a bit of aggressiveness thrown in.....love Bam Bam.

Love Barcias new found enthusiasm. His style Is by far for me the most exciting to watch. Seems like he's taking his all around career more serious.

Very interesting interview...what a pro.

[@abracing199]

Just some constructive input: your audio balance was all over the place in this video, blew my ears out a couple of times.

[@allmtbnzscottbrownhill2896]

for sure, if i wasnt so interested in the info i would have skipped it because of the terrible audio balance.

[@joshsampiero]

ah man, so sorry - this clip was born out of a bit of a test-case type thing, and we didn't have an audio guy on set or room in post-production for a proper mix. now that it's demonstrated how much that helps, improvements are on the way !

[@jetdr]

I have always liked Barcia, even more so that I know what he came from and where he is now! Hard work. Love that he is on Gas Gas, fantastic Bike. Actually looking at purchasing one very soon..

The recent SPRING CREEK INFIELD ACCESS video featuring Barcia, Ferrandis, and Tomac is probably my favorite motocross racing footage EVER!

Yea, RACER X does better coverage than NBC

[@ryanlorance6168]

Hell yeah!! KZbin recommended something actually worth a shxt for once! 🤘🏻

[@yamahaxs6501]

I can see this channel will develop into something pretty good. The beginning is always rough. Technical critiques aside, it was a good look into who Justin Barcia is as a person. Getting these guys personalities out there will only help the sport. Once the athletes become real people, it becomes interesting to people outside the sport. Those people become fans and the imprint of the sport grows overall. It's a good thing.

Hey, that's super cool and thx for the feedback! You still got that 69 chevy running? That thing is sick

[@joshsampiero]

we all need sleep, mate - if I put you to sleep, just listen to BamBam! For real tho - there's a couple things happening here: 1) we're considering a global audience when putting this together. clear and understandable takes occasional precedence over excitement and energy. BUT! noted

Bam; you need to put alittle BAM BAM in Pierce. Michael has alittle BAM in him but it makes him make mistakes. You are the man, give alittle knowledge to the 250 guys.

[@JohnHowerton137]

Justin was my LEAST favorite rider. After signing with GasGas and watching him in testing, he seemed like a whole new person! Just before Supercross started, I still wanted to hate him, but I just couldn’t any longer. My gut said this was a new leaf and he was going to win. Of course he did! Been one of my favorite riders ever since. For years I hated my own reputation as a loose/reckless rider. Maybe me not liking Justin was a little bit of projection. I still ride loose, but I generally keep it on two wheels just like Mr. JB51. He’s great fun to watch and I think he’s helped me accept that it’s ok that my own style is still a little loose and agro sometimes 🤣 Thank you GasGas for believing in this fun rider. He’s been an amazing fit for the brand and I’m sure the sales/buzz reflect that. If my local dealer is able to get GasGas, I’ll very likely switch from 21 years of Orange to one of these beautiful red machines... I already know I’ll like it 🤣

[@jeffhicks1008]

I like Barcia also but why is Dylan doing so good on the Yamaha and for some reason Him and Webb couldn't .

Think about 30min. Moto + 2 laps even in perfect condition you have to worry about heat stroke the safety gear is extremely hot making it more difficult to keep from overheating.i think if they were only 10 lap motos you could wear safety gear.just saying

I disagree...I thought the interviewer showed genuine interest, and with a mature style to his questions.

[@joshsampiero]

👈🏼 interviewer here. Maturity and good interview technique in an MX video? I mean come on who wants that?! Nah, thanks for noticing we didn't do the typical post-race interview. In regards to the VO: trust me, i got more energy in the tank - we went for 'clear and understandable'. BUT - input received.

[@tominsheffield]

Josh Sampiero if you want maturity and great interview techniques then watch “Gypsy Tales” they don’t come any better than this guy. He has an amazing talent and his videos are fascinating to listen to. The type of questions he asks & they way he delivers them makes the viewer really feel like they’re in the mindset of the rider. Don’t give up your day job but I highly recommend you adjust your style if you want to attract the attention Justin deserves. Thanks

[@joshsampiero]

@@tominsheffield I'm sure there's better. Hell, I can be better - just gimme all the time in the world. But in all due respect... everyone's a critic, and few know what tools and time the people onsite are working with. so i tend to hold my tongue ;)
