This week, I’m joined by Bernard Kerr. As you may well know, Bernard has taken on a crazy project this offseason to race Supercross at Anaheim 1, so clearly we had to talk about that. We also get into his career history, and how he’s gone about building the Pivot team from scratch to become one of the most popular teams on the World Cup circuit. Bernard has got a great approach to life, and I really enjoyed spending some time finding out more about him. so hit play and give it a listen.
