Unyielding: Virtues of a Champion | A Chase Sexton Film by Alpinestars

Chase Sexton made his ascent to the summit of Supercross racing faster than most, with the 24-year-old already boasting both the 2019 and 2020 250 East Regional Supercross Championships and the 2023 premier class 450 Supercross Championship to his name. While his emergence as a championship contender at the highest level of our sport hasn't come without a great deal of scrutiny, expectation, and setbacks, there can be no doubting the talent and unstoppable determination that this bright young star brings to our sport.
Our latest film Unyielding: Virtues of a Champion brings us a first-hand look at what it takes to navigate the rise to superstardom as an up-and-coming dirt bike racer. For Chase Sexton, that journey has been anything but easy. With appearances from both of Chase's parents, Kelly and Keir Sexton, as well as Chase himself, the film delves into the different kinds of trials and challenges he's faced along the way, highlighting the importance of keeping his family around and involved in his racing program, and ensuring that he never loses the integrity and good morals that he was raised with that have helped him become the great young man that he is today. We also sit down with Chase's high-performance trainer Peter Park, a man who has typically kept a low profile in industry circles, to discover firsthand the rigorous fitness regime and training principles that have guided Chase and helped him become one of the most physically impressive athletes to ever line up on the gate.
Here at Alpinestars, we could not be more proud to be part of Chase Sexton's program and ongoing success. A brilliant racer and athlete, an inspiring and determined man, and most importantly, a champion both on and off the bike. We hope you enjoy the film and we look forward to the many years ahead with Chase and his family flying the Alpinestars flag.
Created, directed, and edited by Dominick Russo.
Secondary camera and footage by Chad Murray.
Special thanks to the Sexton family, Peter Park, Chris Onstott, and KTM Factory Racing.

Chase comes from good people! And he is a perfect example of what good parenting can create! And he is very Tenacious and Humble!

[@natel7382]

You know, around here we call them Minnesota nice, eh. Chase with a Minnesota accent would have been so funny. "Ya know, I didn't mean to crash eh."

[@tucker932]

I feel like Chase has the most haters in our sport. It’s so odd. He has insane work ethic and drive. Gives it his all every race! What more can you ask for? Yeah he makes mistakes, because he’s not content unless he is winning. Chase if you read this, you may think you were an underdog growing up, but we knew you had “it”. You were always the youngest in the class waxing us with perfect technique! -TM122

[@mirraco323]

Yeah I don’t get it. Yet people still jerk off confirmed douchebag dipshit J Law to this day. Says a lot about people.

[@michealdionne5456]

You have to learn from your mistakes, and he has a habit of blowing off the criticism. For good or bad. Chase is a hell of a rider and I expect him to figure some of it out this year.

[@JustEdit22]

Really? Everybody I know loves Chase. My favorite rider

[@shtnrlse]

Exactly, nobody hates him. They hate to see him not win....

[@jmard24]

@@shtnrlse I was mad af when he wasn't winning. I can't even begin to fathom how it feels to a pro rider when my emotions are all over the place during racing season.

[@joeking7784]

Chase doesn't get the credit he deserves for changing the way people think about riding a bike. He is a seriously bad dude, his humbleness is what held him back (imo). I'm so ready to see him smoke these guys this year.

[@IdontspeakBro.]

Earned a new fan. What a wholesome great kid.

[@Leggoeljefeblu]

Chase is a beast, felt bad for him last season. I hope he prospers and does great

[@aventuraspelocanada9172]

Why did you feel bad for him last season? He was literally SX champ

[@Mbowman223]

​@aventuraspelocanada9172 "Literally Handed the '23 SX title" there I fixed it for ya!😎👍

[@michaelknabusch6011]

@@aventuraspelocanada9172because he should’ve had the championship wrapped up before tomac and Webb went out. Chase threw away at least 4-5 wins last year, and now since he won because the competition was all lost to injury people think he got gifted the championship. Which is just ludicrous because he kept fighting. Imo it’s one of the most impressive championships ever

[@heathcofran6115]

This was great story telling. Well done Astars team. - Let's bring on the first gate drop of 24!

[@ScottPaulConley]

I want Chase to do well so bad. He's so talented, such a good, well-adjusted kid. So much more humble than those Lawrence boys. Nothing against them, but Chase is just different in such a special way. I'm rooting for you, man! Believe in yourself. YOU ARE the most talented rider out there. You deserve this!

[@aus-rider]

Why is he more humble then the Lawrence boys, this I want to hear.

[@ScottPaulConley]

@aus-rider typical response from an Aussie. "In general," like the English, y'all think you're better than us. Their dad talked about how Aussie's have so much pride, and we learn "x" from being aussie, and aussie animals can't walk backwards, so that's our mentality. But it's not just that stuff. Little things like the trash talk Jett did to Jordan Smith(i think) who cut off hunter mid air over the bridge jump, when hunter is just as dirty. Not a good example, and I apologize that I can't think of more right now, but they just really come across as fake and hypocritical. Maybe I'm just a jealous, stupid American, but they just don't come across as genuine. More genuine is Ken Roczen, and he's not American. Like that BS jett did and let Ken by. I had no problem with that as a former racer.....let him by try to learn, pass him back, play with his head....but don't get on the podium and act like you did it as a gift....that's fake! That's BS.

[@ScottPaulConley]

@aus-rider a humble Jett would have said he let Ken by because he knew Ken had his number and wanted to either play it safe or just try to learn from him or try to f**k with his head....whatever....but the "I'm better than everyone, but want to play like I don't act like it," Jett said it was a gift.....that's not humble. Chase wouldn't say BS like that.

[@shawnhorne9296]

Chase pulling for from your area and tracks, best to you and your team 🙌 👌

[@richardyoung1822]

Chase demonstrates he has the wisdom to know how to be in the sport of SMX for a long time to come! It's his job and he does it very well.

[@Lracer61]

Love that this sport is promoting family first. Good luck this year chase!

[@DisasterTheoryX]

Said it before and i'll say it agian..... This guy is Dungey 2.0 The Dunge was an incredible human being on and off the track and still is. Ryan Dungey is Chase Sextons spirit animal. They even ride extremely similar.

[@wideopenmx850]

The segment with Peter Park was great. Seems like a phenomenal trainer

[@DavidWilliams-ve4nt]

What a great family. Mom and Dad raised an amazing son. Chase is not only a talented rider but a wonderful person. Stay grounded my friend. Good luck this season 🤟🏻

[@moto3463]

Chase is very humble, mad respect.

[@Smilesmd35]

The reason I love sexton is because he is a hard worker and won’t cheat anyone for effort. Chase is nice and kind while a lot of other pros have huge egos.

[@squathi]

I value character above race results ,always. I have always liked Chase but I just became a huge fan.

[@Slayeranon]

I bet chase trained harder then ever this off season because this year the gate is stacked! Good luck chase give em hell this year

[@user-ul1uu7tt9j]

Chase has it all , both physical training regimen and attitude ! But he is not the only one and he seems to know that and it motivates him !

[@justmacyy]

I would argue that, aside from his family, I’m his biggest fan. I always tell people how obvious it is that Chase is a GOOD PERSON. You can see it in him so easily. He is a class act through and through. He’s humble, kind, incredibly talented and obviously such a hard worker. It’s mind blowing to me when people hate on him. He gave my 5 year old daughter his jersey at Redbud this past summer and it absolutely made her entire life. lol. She lights up anytime she gets to watch him race and cheers for him like crazy. Sadly this SX season she is with her dad every race we are close to, and she’s SUPER bummed, but she will be counting down the days until Redbud. I’ll always be a huge fan of Chase. I like plenty of riders, but none even remotely close to how much I like Chase. His parents obviously did a WONDERFUL job raising him.

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Super stoked to watch CS4 on a steel frame! F.B.I. Let's Go‼

This is great..... and I watched him many times as a kid, he did spend more time on a pit bike. :)

[@Gamalier1972]

Best of luck in 2024! Keep up your head high. You keep trying your best and putting the work ethic/effort to win every time no matter what. That means more than the couch/keyboard haters comments. You are a great role model for upcoming riders and kids.

Not gonna lie, everyone is counting out chase this SX season. I mean everyone except Steve matthes of all ppl lol. I didn't forget he was the fastest guy last year in SX. I bet he goes back to back watch for his bike skill to go next level cutting down in those turns late into the mains

[@stevenbradley5032]

I always admire what a talented rider chase is and he has a bright future moving forward if he can nip whatever it is in the butt that keeps putting him on the ground wether it’s the “bike” or a mental thing. Either way, the way he won the championship last year just doesn’t sit right with me. People can justify it all they want on why it was legit and I’m sure a lot of it is probably true. But it still just doesn’t feel right if you know what I mean. I’m still happy for him though, he’s a good dude and a hell of a competitor. I’d be more than happy to take that back if he can cement himself another championship.

18:23 this. This is what makes motocross such a great sport and what drew me to it older in life. The culture seems so unpolluted by a lot of the modern BS we see elsewhere.

@alpinestars, just a quick input on the edit. I like the edit and the cinematohraphy is okay but it might be worth to spend a little more effort on color correction & grading because several of the shots a way of regarding white balance especially in the locked of talking shots where the different angles are very different in white balance. Love the concept of the overall video, great to get som insight into the riders just as you did with Jet.
