Supercross Champion Cooper Webb talks Rivalries, Jealousy, Retiring from racing in 2022 and more...

[@buellfan8854]

Loved the talk of him riding local tracks. We met him at 221 last year. He's my boys favorite rider and took a picture with him. Later, we returned to ask for Cooper to sign my boys number plate. I felt like a bother, but Cooper was so cool about it. I liked him before, but the way he treated my boy, I am a fan for sure now. That number plate is hanging up at the house. Awesome podcast!

[@SB-wu9mk]

This was such a sick podcast. Im a huge Kenny fan, was big on Dunge before. I haven't been too bothered whether Eli or Coop wins this year, it's very cool seeing Eli break records but didn't know Coops past. I always wondered why he seems to operate at his peak when he's seen as the underdog. Now I'm a fan, would love to see Coop go get it!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

What records has Eli broken? I can say longest career and still winning races. He might own that one, and it is a good one.

[@SB-wu9mk]

@@EarthSurferUSA Yeah that's what I was referring to, seeing him catch up and pass with Ricky and Stewarts win records in one season has been really cool. The longevity definitely helps!

[@brad7743]

Grew up on the same local tracks as Cooper, hes a few years younger than me, remember hearing about him burning kids on 65s/85s, he's just got that gritty east carolina attitude, have always loved it, always wondered why he gets so much hate. Love people in the comments here saying they saw a new perspective on the guy, he's a beast.

[@Bryan-jd7os]

I never understood the "hate". It just didn't make sense to me. Like you, I'm an even bigger fan now.

[@torpedocyclonetom217]

I haven’t been a Cooper Webb fan for years. I remember when he started winning on KTM and being like “woah.” But it’s easy to forget that, now that he’s won 2 championships and been there so much. I forget how much I used to root for the guy to just DO GOOD. Same situation with AP in away. He kind of has a Dunge feel to me in a way now. But after listening to this it reminds me of the time when he was just the underdog kid from Star who lost his chance and got a call from Roger when he got hurt and no one else believed.

[@InspectorButters4]

I love hearing that RC is still as savage as ever!! Lol, when he was racing he was an animal, and always the most competitive dude out there..... and it makes sense considering Ricky is the 🐐!!!

[@josephbasile944]

I have reached a point where I can not remember how many times I have finished one of your podcast and said that was a perfect episode and my favorite hands down, and then another one tops that one and so on. I think you know where I am going with this, I mean amazing Jase! Incredible episode, that allowed us to get a true representation of who Copper Webb is and made me a an even bigger fan. And thank you for riding at the level you are this season, because my 8 year old son is a die hard Roczen fan and my guy is Webb so it makes the banter between us very fun at the moment even tho I had to respect his win this year lol. Well all the way from NYC, me and my little guy wish you continued success!

No date needed, this pod is fresh.🤘

[@colefredericks2869]

I'm about the same age as Cooper and AC, and I remember seeing the sweet stuff AC had. And because of that I was always more on the side of Cooper because I remember pulling into Ponca right behind him in his box truck. And I was like, he's just as good or better than AC at the time, and here he is in a box truck and AC has a sweet rig and bikes and AC gets a pro contract with PC since he was 7 if I'm not mistaken. And somehow Cooper barely even gets a pro ride. I'm kinda surprised PC didn't drop AC, but I suppose that's Mitch not wanting to accept the fact that he backed the wrong horse. But Cooper is right, without AC, without seeing how he got almost nothing while AC got everything, without that, we wouldn't have the Cooper we have today.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

But it is competition and the best get the rides, period. All he had to do was beat him. He earned his ride and championships. He beat him. :) Look, when I was a kid reading MXA and starting to race in the David Bailey era, I did not have any parental support, and his Dad was the Professor of Motocross. I did not think ti was fair. I was wrong. We are suppose to share knowledge to the next generation, and my Dad did not ride. But back to this point, don't worry if somebody else in real competition gets the goodies quickly. If he does not keep it up, that is everybody else's opportunity.

Hopefully you tell him this. I’m watching every one of your videos. So glad you got him on here. Thank you buddy. Like I said I watch every thing you talk about. I never went and got my pro deal. But I did very well at Loretta’s. I got 3 Loretta’s in The 125 class. I know that not dominant. But I feel every thing Cooper says. Love you bro ❤

[@racingfuel28]

Fully agree on him talking about how much the sport is growing. I’ve been telling people the last 3-4 years it’s bigger now than it has ever been. People love to complain about the rules, or bike changes, or this or that and just harp on how it isn’t like it used to be. Go to a Supercross, go to an outdoor national or Loretta’s, it takes 35 years to get parked because they are jam packed with both riders, and fans. Heck even a local race has more riders turn out to race than I’ve ever seen. The sport has grown more over the last 5 or 6 years than ever.

Damn im from southeastern NC. I had no clue his father owned Action surfboards. I grew up surfing. I started racing at 12 on a KX 85. Raced until i was 18 traveling around NC with my mother an father. Had so much fun. But i also always surfed. At the age of 17 i got sponsored surfing. Started taking it serious. Was able to travel the east coast for free. Went out west a one times. But anyway racing faded out because of surfing. I wasnt no where near professional status. Def amateur level. But was still very fun. Thats crazy his father owns Action surfboards. I never stopprd watching supercross. Every race i watched even during the transition from racing to surfing. Just got a bike a year ago. Im 38 now an back on a seat. KX 450 an im enjoying it like i was that 12 yr old kid begging my father for a race bike. Cause me n my siblings grew up on four wheelers an trail bike like dirtbikes. Damn def cool Coop!!!!!

Whats weird is I dont necessarily like Cooper, but I do respect him big time. All my dislike pretty much comes from me being a huge Kickstart Kenny fan, and seems like Coop was that guy (besides Eli) who was always beating Kenny in the heats/mains, or bumping him off the podium in the last 2 yrs ..... and I mean literally bumping him with an aggressive pass😁 Like hes done to Kenny at the last second, in the last turn, right at the dang finish line multiple times! Lol all joking aside Coop is a dawg on the track and the dude is so hyper competitive he will gladly throw caution to the wind for a chance to win.... plus his defense and his race IQ is off the charts! Basically I'm a low key Cooper fan who just gets butthurt when Kenny loses 🤣🤣🤣🤣

There are plenty of big guys who are big because of their habits and choices etc. I would think if you asked CW he would agree that anybody even overweight could work into shape.

I was a Reed fan back in the day as well and even though I liked Reed I didn't really care for his podium speeches.
