TORQ MOTO - Paul Edmondson talks TRIUMPH!
Join us on this episode of Docwob TV as we take a nostalgic look back at the unforgettable moments from the 2024 season! It’s been an action-packed year filled with not one, but two incredible vet events: the VMXdN Foxhill and Farleigh Castle Vets MX! What started as a four-bike build quickly escalated to an astonishing ten bikes—definitely a journey with many highs and lows. The multiple pipes we went through at Foxhill with Mike Brown and Ryan Villopoto were insane. It was also great to have the likes of Alessio Chiodi and Sean Lipanovich under the awning at VMXdN and Dakar winner Sam Sunderland at Farleigh Castle Vets MX. I always say, "Never again," but who knows what the future holds? The riders are already lining up for VMXdN Foxhill 2025! In addition to our main projects, we dove into some exceptional customer builds, a personal project or two, and even squeezed in a trial bike on the titanium side. There was a lot of love out there for BTS tour of Pro Circuit, the RM250AF build and the CR500 two-stroke project. A massive THANK YOU to all our viewers for your love and support!

TORQ MOTO - Doug Dubach got blamed for the demise of the 2 stroke!
Time for an appointment with the ‘Doctor’ It’s time to sit down and listen to what the Doctor says, because this week’s Torq Moto Podcast show driven by Talon welcomes U.S Supercross and Motocross legend and all-around bloody good guy Doug ‘The Doctor’ Dubach. Of course, Doug isn’t a real Doctor, but his extensive knowledge of the sport and his long-term relationship with Yamaha as an R D test rider warrant the nickname. Doug was right there in the thick of it when American Motocross started to boom, especially growing up as a kid riding the hills of Southern California and has been involved in the sport for over 50 years. Join hosts ‘Jeffro’ Perrett and Doc Wobs as they catch up with Doug on the sofas of their makeshift studio at Talon Engineering, where the trio were on hand celebrating Talon’s 50th Anniversary and listen to Doug’s take on growing up in California as motocross really took root in the USA, what it was like to race AMA Supercross in the 80’s and 90’s and actually win a round! Doug also discusses his love for racing and why he’s still at it in his sixties and in particular being an honorary Brit and coming over to race the VMXDN year after year as well as his role as Yamaha US’s bLU cRU brand ambassador. And, of course, Wobs couldn’t let him leave the sofa without talking about his involvement in the development of the YZ400F, which effectively changed the game and put an end to 2 Stroke racing at the sharp end of the sport. It’s all good stuff and in typical Doug style, he’s so laid back and smooth in conversation. The Doug Dubach interview on the Torq Moto Podcast Show will drop this Thursday 18th on YouTube, Spotify and Apple, where you’ll also find all the previous shows.
