He was cool before motorcycle racing knew how to market cool. Sending it way before Full Send became a thing.
In this special episode of Gas It Out, Gavin Emmett, Neil Hodgson and Sylvain Guintoli sit down with 1993 500cc World Champion Kevin Schwantz at his Texas ranch for a funny, honest and often fascinating deep dive into one of the most captivating careers the sport has ever seen. Brief but brilliant.
From motocross beginnings to Grand Prix glory, Schwantz reflects on the fearless style, fierce rivalries and split-second decisions that made him a legend. He talks Rainey, Roberts, Doohan, Rossi and Marquez, the brutality of the 500s, the weight of winning a world title, and the moment he knew it was finally time to walk away.
There are brilliant stories, proper racing nuggets, and a real sense of what made Schwantz such a unique rider - flamboyant, all-action, and always absolutely committed.
A life spent sideways, and not much regret about any of it.
