- Justin Barcia has been on of my favourite riders since he was on an 85cc 2-stroke ripping MTF and taking out every older rider in his path. He was one of the most hyped amateurs to ever turn pro, and he didn't disappoint. JB went on to earn himself two Lites Supercross titles while also earning his now infamous nickname Bam Bam.
In recent years though, Barcia has let us see a side of him that has always been kept in the dark and it has only added to his legacy as one of the most entertaining riders the sport has ever seen. In this podcast though, you will see a different side of Barcia. Mellow and contemplative as he looks back at the crazy journey he has been on.

Justin is an undercover legend. The dude has been in the top 5 nearly every single year his whole career. Consistently fast, rarely hurt, and an absolute competitor.
Between the Craig episode and this one these last two pods have been like unlocking lore about these characters 😂 Jase you’ve outdone yourself - and Barcia, what a great dude. awesome to hear about how his riding style developed and how he deals with the deeper side of everything as well. Great great great episode 👍
P
The 😅😮😅😅😮😅😮rteret😅😅😮e😅😅ee😅 😅
You took the words right out of my mouth dude 👏
This is cool, great to hear Barcia in this format!
I totally get the "Unapologetic competitivism", I grew up as the smaller younger guy too and I could always do things as hard as I wanted and still never hurt anything. Such a free feeling to just let loose.
I love how the once crazy Bam Bam, the wild child, is now a father and family man. It has been a lot of fun to watch his career and I wish we could have seen more personality early on.
Barcia has been one of my favorite riders since his pro debut. I have a pic of me sitting on his 2010 practice bike at blue diamond and lemme say he is such a good down to earth guy. Absolute legend fornsure
What you guys are saying about having the right woman to bring you up is so true! I was a starving artist playing in a band when I met my wife and now I make 100k a year and can afford dirt bikes for my son and I 🤘
Awesome interview guys. JB - been a huge fan of you for years. You are a genuine guy and kept true to yourself👍. If you move to uk I live in the north east and knows some awesome places to ride👍👍👍
I'm loving these in season podcasts with the top guys. Very cool to get to know them better and not rely on the boring post-race press conferences.
Huge Barcia fan. Keep being you!
Looking forward to this podcast. I'm not a fan of Barcia's bam bam style but maybe this can change my view of him.
Atleast you know what you're getting with him. He's got so much bike skill it's crazy. I'm a big fan.
Bam is legend, always there always bangin bars! LFG!
this is your best interview
Great conversation,
all deep questions
Great to dive into who he really is as a person
That conversation was like watching two dancers in motion
Man every time I listen to your podcasts it gives me so much inspiration and drive to go out riding. Im pretty limited where I live but it makes me so excited to get out there. Thanks for that
Hands down my favorite rider since the geico Honda days, his style is unmatched and personality on the bike is just the best in my opinion idc where he finishes on race day just glad he’s still a top 10 guy consistently
His bike skill is disgusting bro I'm a huge fan. I almost wish he still rode like he was 16 on those amsoil 250s his last year as an amateur. He is very entertaining.
Watched this all the way to the end. It was great. Keep
Up the great work!
Jace is by far the best interviewer on youtube. been a JB51 fanboy for years but i never knew him till today!!
❤️🇺🇸
Dude what a year To come back to motorcross 22 amazing 23 so far awesome. I found Gypsy Tails & Pulp MX The sport Is great. I have To say You guys Killing it. making the sport Interesting. So thank you
I met JB at the Marshfield fairgrounds. Schnikey was bringing him a 125 motor out of bike Lamson ran in a retro race. I believe it was one of his first races on a big bike. Factory Connection had a fun mover there. Ziggy knocked himself out over the finish line jump. In between motos were all ODing on the "World famous crazy bike". We spent a couple hundred bucks trying to ride that thing 10ft to win 20 bucks. I became fast friends with Don and even made it to Bamland for like a week. Lost contact with them but great people. Great podcast love your work and getting caught up after a long hiatus..
Exactly what I expected...good chat..no surprises here..😉
@ 26:30 ....... THIS!!! This is why 90% of the fans are here, bc we are the exact same way! When I got grounded as a kid my dad left my toys, my N64, my tv, or whatever else, but he would lock my bmx bike and my dirt bike away bc he knew that was the real punishment and that hurt me more than anything!! Lol, and even still at almost 38yrs old every time I throw my leg over my dirt bike I get giddy and excited to go ride 😂. Dont matter if its at the track, in the woods, or just circles in the yard it NEVER gets old! ✌️
I LOVE THIS DUDE MORE NOW. HE KNOWS how he's perceived by his peers. LOVE HIM!!
I already liked barcia, now I like him even more🤘🏽
So good. Just watched all 3 hours and 16 minutes.
How can we get a reunion show with Barcia Malcome Anderson and Tomac and have those history stories of them growing up racing together!!!???? We need this in 2024!!!!
Love to see Bam take P1 in Houston tonight!
4 words...... King of the motors......
Barcia went from being "Bam Bam" aka the dude who would wreck ur shit and then smile & laugh about it as he passed u lol........ to a guy who has matured so much now that he is a dad and a family man. Granted, as JS7 would say..... "he will still take a b*tch out" 😂 he just doesn't do it on purpose as much anymore!!! Its racing so of course shit happens, but he's evolved past the Bam Bam stage and now seems like a way more technical and dialed in rider. I absolutely LOVE watching JB and Kenny battle, bc its obvious the level of respect they have for each other, but both are still super competitive and push each other harder. JBs the man and this was a great ep! ✌️
I´m quite new to following supercross and at first i didn`t like Barcia at all... Tought that he`s just another Friese... BUT... after seeing episode 1 of BAM TV i totally changed my mind about him. Now he is my favourite rider! It is great that we finally get to see him in Gypsy Tales.
First of all, I was fuckin pumped to hear your voice made the new intro for the deegan videos 🤣👌 just wondering, is there a podcast somewhere with you on the other side of the questions? Heard lots of your stories through you interviewing everyone else but would very curious to hear your story and more of the details on how you ended up in the US and why you ended up following moto/supy so closely. Anyways, love the podcast if there's one out there send me a link or let me know where to look cheers! Side note, I temporarily hated Barcia as a racer ( just because of his dirty passes sometimes ) but when I started watching his CZcams videos my thoughts all changed the guys a beauty and has an awesome personality. His sense of humor is next level haha. Again, cheers
Bam bam the pilot sounds truly terrifying 😂 just kidding... so glad you got Barcia on...a massive fan here in the UK
I’m watching this right after Daytona and when he was talking about getting into it with Chase I was just thinking about how they got into it again last weekend and if they talked to each other afterwards
What he really meant to say was I love racing tomac bc you always know what your going to get. “You can race him sooo hard without getting cleaned the fuck out!” Lol
Let’s go 🔥 best way to wake up on a Saturday
Justin is the man. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
So much for interviewing Justin every time he tells a story buddy with the glasses try’s to one up his story with his own
Hardly. Jase just relates to them with his own life and the conversation flows to good areas.
Riding the edge❤
Cool interview,
I myself wonder “how do you grow the sport?” I think riders that have CZcams definitely helps. But when he mentions “there could be a Netflix documentary made on my journey”. Great idea, and what a great guy to start with!🙃 That would trigger the riders even more than they already are on the track. How to do it? Someone needs to invest! You value the people first then fans go “wait, what? They make how much money? Hell yeah, I wanna watch this, or get my kid into this”! Problems I see is tracks aren’t that accessible to go watch (thank god for Peacock to help this year), so the distance seeing in person is difficult. It’s not like NFL where your state has a team (aka there’s not a lot of people talking about it). You need to pick a guy, or a couple. Netflix documentaries on top 10 guys would be great to introduce personalities. There’s no doubt it’s an insane sport, but the fact there’s not a lot of money in it devalues it. If I won the powerball, I would single handedly throw a bunch into the sport to make it grow. Why isn’t big tech etc not interested? That’s what sucks. Needs a better platform/plan.
A Barcia doc would be fun, hilarious and prob draw tons of fans, but a Ken Roczen doc would put people in awe of these riders and inspire tf out of them as to what's possible. Ken's comeback from just insane injury.....(2x) is the most impressive and inspirational comeback story in all of sports imo. Barcia doc would be way less depressing and more light hearted tho lol 😂. I'm a huge fan of both guys so I hope they both get shows and get PAID!! 😁✌️
So around 2:10:00 when you're talking about you guys doing the same thing but not having the same experience and you say "maybe you've done it so many times, maybe your brain just isn't registering it"....I wouldn't say its NOT registering it, I would say, he's done it so many times that his brain know's HOW to register it. Just my thoughts, which obviously means nothing, lol. Yet again, never fails, ANOTHER banger of an episode, as always!!! Cheers!!!
Definitely moto biased as far as your guests go but anytime a name like Barcia or Craig comes up I’m so pumped to hear from them. Thank you
Edit- wow this was a good one. You can tell jase was excited for this
Transmoto was called pony express at my local track when I was younger was the funnest thing ever only had 2 on my time and at 12 doing 6 hours straight with a 2 lap swap was crazy fun
LIMITER'D BABY
Why does everyone always start every single sentence with “ like “ 😫
Is AG1 really worth the $? I’ve heard mixed opinions, it tastes like trash or is decent along with the actual benefits being great for some & didn’t gel at all with others. 🤷🏻♂️ strongly in the rafters if I should buy or not?
2:06:57 "could die this is gonna be sick" 😂😂
Still confuses me how he doesnt play into his racing style. He gets so much hate because he takes someone out pretty obviously intended then plays innocent.
What does the $132 member ship give us?
Barcia iz the best on the ken block defs gettin the dub tonmora at Houston #whiskey
When you have that Competitiveness, you don't drink, cause you just know you will want to be the best at it !
🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻
Jojo Cunningham is the up-and-coming Barcia of off-road
But to be honest I love when people do it back to him. It makes me fuzzy on the inside.
It’s Mr. Clown shoes!
At Daytona this weekend Barcia had Tomac fans cheering for him because he rubbed Sexton a couple times. Shake and Bake!🤣
Barcia is the goat modern day Tom Brady
"Yeah shes my personal psychologist" 😁........... 😬😬 "is that, is that a good thing?!?!" Hahahaha that was exactly my first thought too!! Seems like it works for him tho so rock on I guess lol
My favourite rider! Onya bam bam!
I’m gonna date myself here, but I picture Barcia retiring and building an oval track and you race it like roller derby, your only goal is to knock people off the track. 😅
Andersons the new Barcia.
Last year he said he didn't want to be known as that guy and then proceeds to take out a rider every week.
I hear the smallest violin playing softly as you bitch and moan about hard racing. It's moto bro you got the wrong sport if you don't like bar banging. It happens. Neither of these guys are malicious they just want to get ever single position they possibly can and they'll do what they have to in order to get it. I respect it. If they clean out your favorite rider I get it but it is what it is man it's racing.
Get jlaw ot Andy bell on the pod
Not saying he not a great rider one of the best. But really he literally knocks someone down every race and the he goes it wasn't me. Everyone knows he does it. But it's great to have drama to. But he can ruin people's championship like jason a little last yr. That's the problem or he really going to hurt people like Dylan
Let's goo ! 🔥🔥🔥
It's the JASE MCALPINE and Justin "shushush" Barcia episode!
NGL, I'm legit pissed how much Barcia and I would gel... because, boy, I despise his racecraft
Barcia = "I don't watch much except for all sorts of racing"
Me = "Saaame... Wait, FUUUCK!"
MFer even likes cyclocross, something that is decently obscure by US standards - I'm gonna have to stop watching before I have to start being a fan because of his out-of-track stuff 😂GOOD NEWS - I can't stand Pidcock, BamBam likes him 🥳 Shit's back on track because I'm a WvA guy through and through
BTW, since you're closer to Europe, I'd be awesome for you to hit up any of the Big 3 from cyclocross (Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert or Tom Pidcock). All 3 are also quite famous from their exploits on the roads (WvA is the first rider to ever win a mass sprint, mountain and time trial stage in a single Tour de France) and all 3 have done MTB XC too.
Anderson was just mad he tried to pull a Bam Bam and got put on probation for it 😂😂😂. He ought to know by now that u cant out Barcia the real Barcia!! Lol, im an Anderson fan also, but he seems to take racing incidents super personal..... whereas a dude like Eli will just use it as fuel and then go smoke u in the main event as payback 😁✌️
If he did 50k hours straight on the bike that would be about 5 years and 9 months.
Stop sleeping on BMX Racing legit a supercross track and a Olympic Sport. Fuck the highlighter outfits.
Ditch AG and eat grass fed, grass finished beef and forget most vegetables.
i love beef, chicken, and pork, i need to lose weight
my mom said she bought “healthy stuff” i had celery and cream cheese for a snack and she brought home some other stuff that may have been full of sugar, and carbs
Bro this guy has had so many incidents with other riders throughout his career. Barcia seriously man? You have pretty much taken someone out every freakin race.
Grow up, youre not a competitor. You couldnt win even if you tboned every person you tried to pass. Dudes a legend and you're not.
Get lost
Wish there were at least 6 more of him
Bro seriously bro bro!
Barcia sucks!!
Dude finished another whopping 7 th place again he is a real winner 🤣🤣🤣
What did you get at Arlington?
