Hands down one of my favorite podcast! Logan is such a G

[@JamesBond-ie9vw]

So humble man. Like that super nice neighbor that will help you with anything

[@dreichard]

Bowling Green Kentucky Axtour 2014… I remember sitting on the starting line for the Supermini main event watching Karnow take names in the 250 Pro Main. His Honda’s that year were so sick! So stoked for Logan and seeing all he has built for himself! The dude deserves it!

[@tommylee9339]

Rep for Ohio boys! Great podcast J! You always pop the best questions!

[@gypsytalespodcast9369]

Thanks brother!

[@Benders25]

Anyone that wants to sponsor somebody regardless of what their business is and the way they make money, should be allowed, there should be no limitation on how you're able to show up to a racetrack and go racing

[@californiapoontappa]

For real if they decline you from wearing your sponsor they should be willing to put the money up to replace them. More riders is how the sport grows and more riders means more/new sponsors which means $$$$

[@manwithsomeplans]

Are you serious? How are you going to explain to your kids what onlyfans is when they ask. This smut shouldn't be anywhere near any sport

[@softnessweetness]

some people have principles and, well.....

[@manwithsomeplans]

It's more apparent now than ever 😉

[@kyleosbun]

Fuck yeah gypsy tales! Fuckin awesome having logan on. What a dope story he has to tell.

[@jonathanmullins5315]

This was such a cool podcast logan is a cool ass dude who deserves the support and gypsy tales is hands down best podcast out. Thanks for the hard work to bring us the content we want!

[@micahwells3850]

I left this podcast a Karnow fan. Great interview!

[@rassy7]

Is it possible this interview raises Karnow's profile more than the Only Fans sponsorship? I mean seriously, Gypsy is nothing but A+ interviews, and I still have this back-and-forth as one of the best yet. Super open, honest guy, with some great challenges to the status quo. Real think material.

[@THEHD330]

One of my favorite riders of all time!! Deserves more attention in media, the sport needs it!

[@jamesreed3368]

Rad interview! Really enjoyed it and appreciated a Logan being real af talking about the life, the the nerves etc..super cool to see a privateer from Ohio making his dream life happen! Keep it up boys!! 🤙🏼

[@1276Tim]

Can definitely say Logan is a bloody nice bloke I met him at A1 first round in 2023, he took the time asked me questions about where we were from and when he found out that we were there from Australia and there on our honeymoon was a great time, Logan it makes a difference when you take the time, we appreciated it was bloody mad fun and same as Ronnie Mac you were next to him that year 🤙🤙

[@chasemoore4129]

Pod dropped while I was shooting moto pics. Impeccable timing 🤘🏼

[@AidanLynch208]

I still remember being in the stands behind his mom and fam when he made it in Detroit. It was absolutely insane. Dude deserves it🤘🏼

[@KTMGUY95]

Sometimes the worst things in life are opportunities we only need to recognize. It's all about attitude and how we deal with adversity.

[@tfertz2712]

Jase (G.T's dude) I hope you read this. Just want to say thankyou for doing your pod cast and letting us all enjoy these stories from the riders. I have 4 sons and my 3 youngest raced ama district 16 amateur mx for several years. Between my boys and myself have had 36 broken bones along with multiple concussions and other injuries. I have stories that'd easily fill a 4 hour chat. But all in all would rate our moto experience an A+. Best of times meeting other very nice, friendly, helpful people throughout the years we raced. Great Memories that'll last a life time and couldn't think of a better way to spend a weekend than with my kids. Taking them every weekend to a track where they could ride, practice, race. I was a divorced single father who paid child support and worked a construction job, on the road, away from home during the week. It took everything I had to make my boys dreams of racing a reality. I was the sole sponser and had to pay for everything myself. Bought the bikes, the gear, paid the fees, the gas, the hospital bills, was the mechanic, the driver, the cook, physical therapist, everything. It wasn't at all easy. Many many Sundays I spent driving my kids back home to mom then did all the bike cleaning, repairs, maintenance, then laundry then household maintenance, lawn care, vehicle maintenance, taking care of utility bills, hospital bill payments, bike payments, truck payments and insurance n such paper work. Then making the drive to work to be there by 6:30 am on Monday. Minimum 3 hours up to 11 hours drive one way to work. Work sunup to sundown putting in 50+ hours a week then getting home on a Thurs. night/Fri morning and doing it all over again. Looking back at it idk how the fk i did it. I dont miss the injuries at all but I def miss those weekends with my boyz. After graduating h.s. the boys went on to college or trade schools, got jobs, girl friends etc. Life took over and racing ended. But we all still enjoy watching the pros on tv and Ive been going with them to the Pro National in Millville every year since 2002. Fans of the sport for life. Im 60 yrs old now and have been going through the hardest struggles ever in my life for the past 3 years. Not sure how my story will end. I havent watched tv for over ten years except for when i have a chance to watch a mx or sx race. I cant afford anything since i got injured at work and then the company i worked for for 22 years was sold and eliminated my position. Leaving me hi n dry with an injury i still need a surgery for to fix it. No unemployment pay, no workmans comp, nothing. Im in a hard place rite now. I need something to do to get my mind off my troubles or Id freeking totally go insane. And through your pod cast you've given me that place to go to . Something to do for a couple hours that total keeps my attention and I absolutely enjoy. The only light I have in my dark world rite now. I can't thank you enough. God had a plan for you and your following it. You'll never know how much watching/listening to your show helps me to push on threw all the sh.t life's throwing at me rite now. With my whole heart I thank you. Peace n luv bro !! God bless and Moto on. T. PS This interview is one of my favorites so far that I've seen you do. Awesome job with the unfiltertered honest truthes of the highs n lows Logan has dealt with. Super cool how grounded and appreciative he is about being where he is and being able to make a living doing what he loves. My son Evan wanted so bad to race pro but injuries that couldve ended him, 😢 luckily only ended his racing career.

[@blicky35]

Great interview doggies!! Used to race against Logan and Cade Clason both growing up. Shoutout all them district 12 boys! Really cool to see these guys you used to race every weekend in the summer and at RamJam in the winter make names for themselves and be super chill, humble guys. Karnow always had a race bike and a practice bike and that was crazy to hear for everyone else at that time. Clason making it really is a privateer dream, dude was just like the rest of us scraping by riding 1 stock bike minus an exhaust or something. I swear AP rode harescrambles because winning was tough. Seeing this makes me remember the guys who were just naturally fast on a bike and would beat these guys every week but never got their shots or got hurt in the process. Too many guys that could’ve, should’ve, would’ve made it but just couldn’t afford to keep going and families that spent it all to go racing… but that’s what you sign up for.

[@MrHondatrxex]

Logan karnow, can be seen practicing all the time at Smith road raceway in medina ohio

[@Infinitemx155]

amen man, there were a lot of good riders in our area! Logan and Cade were on 65's when I was racing if I remember, and that age group had a lot of talent.

[@rogerodom1993]

[@LewisBuchanan]

Good listen 🤝🏼

[@jyoung6708]

I’m not too sure the riding position through the whoops would work the same in off road natural type whoops being as they are always different sizes and different lengths apart from each other which means you have to move around on the bike more but I don’t know, I’m not chase or Logan. Happy to hear from anyone who is an expert on the subject. I’m gonna try this when I get on the bike but for now I’m stuck in a Peterbilt blitzing pot holes and braking bumps.

[@cmurp157]

The terrarium bit was somewhat profound. Another great interview. Nicely done, everybody involved. Karnow just found a new fan. Hopefully some of my debilitating only fans subscriptions pays him a bit. Next jerks for you bud.

[@nofunfilms8755]

Let’s go Logan, renew plastics baby

[@stalliondave9338]

The thing with going mainstream, and having its participants feel a little more sterile and less insane personalities, is that mainstream sponsors that will shell out money for advertising and generate revenue with more people having eyes on the event will see these people as a brand risk. When you look at the upper echelon of money in motorsports like F1, where do you ever see those drivers just cleaning others out in a race or going clubbing and doing what they like, Its an unfortunate side effect of having a company want to put big money into something

[@roost3d]

As a privateer who often makes the main via the LCQ, what is the energy differential when you make it into the main via a Heat race?

[@Gpx111]

Miss Sam on the podcast can we get him on soon .need to find what's his take on this season .

[@doglover136_]

agreed

[@Antmanmoto]

@2:10:40 he is saying absolute truth. All of us that watch Supercross are pretty much a core audience. So why RC feels the need to call the races like he’s talking to a second grade field trip is just bizarre, especially coming from the goat.

[@paulmryglod4802]

I saw him in the pits at Daytona. Awesome dude and my teenage son was blown away at his sponsor.

[@chadsmith9569]

If the ama and feld don’t want certain sponsors they need to pay these dudes what they deserve. “We won’t pay you shit, but hey you also can’t take money from here either” they have been ripping these kids heads off for years

[@Mxer724]

Is his dad Vince? I used to race against a Vince Karnow 20 yrs ago.

[@rogerodom1993]

Uncle I think

[@rtyhhas]

Remember Ron Dunfee? He is related to the karnovs..I raced him in the 80s he rode a 460 or 520 KTM 4 stroker in open Pro class

[@Infinitemx155]

yeah i believe vince is logans uncle. He was a good rider too

[@unstoppableplayz6948]

Yes, they're related. I raced against Vince also in the 90s in OH. The whole fam are racers. Even Grandpa Karnow back in the day. Good peeps, and good racers! Good luck LK. Ohio proud, homie 💪

[@MrHondatrxex]

Vince is deffently logans uncle

[@1017cutlass]

I think most up and coming talent doesn’t want to be canceled in this present day culture, so they can’t be “theirselves” or it’s a money chase, like everyone around them is telling them to be like so and so he made this much doing this so you have to do it that way to get that ride or that sponsor… same way Ricky’s training program changed the whole field, he’s winning so you have to train like him…

[@Ridingthecushion]

Yeah the boys 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@druezehler2628]

At about the 2 hr 20 min mark, maybe they need to restrict the amount of track/practice time that riders have, much like F1. That way guys can't just completely outwork other guys, you would get guys with natural talent, and factories with facilities don't have such a big advantage. No idea how the hell you enforce that though!

[@bengriffeth6214]

1:30:30 shake babies kissing hands 🤣🤣🤣

[@baddowboy]

5 seconds a lap is very close when you realize traction control and being the lightest rider on the track is a huge plus. Traction control is making legends out of regular joes Trust me BSB banned it for reason. Jb.

[@RuFLeSsgaming]

Well since supercross and motocross are family friendly i can see the disconnect here

What about feld or ama using the monster girls for everything, I don’t see a difference.

[@stevenliedberg2046]

I watched the short clip about is Deegan and Jett making the sport SOFT? Also with all the older guy’s getting ready to retire & everyone now is the same, one guy I thought might be similar to Ando would be Kitchen as he seems to like to do his own thing and not liking the full Team scrimmage at a facility & seems to hate the full social media hype train 24/7, he just seems to have a laid back old school soul, but your right who’s next to be different? Love the show, Peace.👍

[@clintferrell2424]

I would suggest moto in limited in America sports because it’s not a HS sport. Guys play basketball, football, baseball… they didn’t have bikes. Which is a big divide these days. Less places to ride. I was a GM of a Honda dealership and dirt bikes were a challenge to sell in Raleigh NC. No where to ride them. No profit in selling them.

Fuck only fans, fan or not Logan is a marketing genius..... got an opportunity and then stepped out of the box to promote the sponsor. You cant fault a guy for making money off what is a leagle income stream and thats the key thing it is leagle. If people have an issue with it remeber one thing here you had the opportunity to sponsor this kid and you passed up on it or weren't interested so dont be salty on someone making a living and promoting his sponsor because that could have been you.......
