In this episode, we chat with Red Bull athlete and former motocross superstar, Ricky Johnson.
At 16 years old, Ricky nabbed his professional license. It was 1980.
Over the next 8 years, he became the #1 motocross racer in the world. Due to a debilitating injury at the height of his career, he found out he could no longer race motorcycles. He was only 26 years old.
Today, Ricky’s a Red Bull athlete. He participates in events like the Red Bull Frozen Rush. His son is also a Red Bull athlete. They’re both crushing it.
In this episode, we learn about Ricky’s background and transition from motocross to truck racing.
