Episode 8 : Destination Unknown
December. 26,2015
The season finale of The Spectrum Series has finally arrived and, we saved the best for the last. Episode VIII, Destination Unknown, features former factory rider, privateer, and father, Kyle Partridge. Joining Partridge is amateur racer and now soon-to-be-professional, Zac Commans.
Episode 7 : Transcendent
December. 26,2015
Episode VII of The Spectrum Series introduces you to 2013 250 East Coast Supercross champion and current factory Monster Energy/Kawasaki's, Wil Hahn. Hahn, a native of Kansas, has experienced one of the most turbulent and trailing careers of anybody currently racing professional Supercross and motocross. Despite multiple wins and a championship in 2013, Wil's career has been plagued with injuries. And, not just minor injuries... A fractured skull, a broken back, and several serious concussions, just to name a few.
Episode 6 : Inertia
November. 01,2015
In the racing world, we tend to assume that winning a championship changes everything... Fame, money, big houses, extravagant cars, etc. While, to an extent, this may be the case, it does not guarantee your future will now be free of issues. The title, "champion" does not make you immune to a single thing. At the end of the day, you are still a human being like the everybody else.
Episode 5 : Perception
September. 01,2015
“I have a pay check. It’s a consistent 30-year deal that I can retire on. I have a 401k, a truck, gas card, company cards… I mean, it’s a killer job. What did I ever get in racing?” says Sean Collier, the star in episode five of SPECTRUM entitled, Perception. A now retired Supercross and motocross racer, Collier, who was a highly touted amateur sensation in the late 1990s and early 2000s, has a steady job, a family with two children and a true passion for riding his dirt bike… For fun! In episode V, Sean opens up in grave detail about his personal struggles racing in the amateur motocross scene as well as his issues to find success in the professional ranks. From discussing a fist fight with his own father, watching his friends get abused by their own parents, to riding for factory teams and being dropped because of “asinine injury clauses,” Collier gives us a truly no-holds-barred look into what many truly do experience when chasing the dream of a professional dirt bike racer, but rather not talk about on camera.
Episode 4 : Monocyte
July. 01,2015
The amateur motocross racing scene is just as, if not more cruel and unforgiving then professional Supercross and motocross racing. Fighting for "factory" amateur rides such as Team Green Kawasaki and the KTM Orange Brigade is only achievable via your success at the most prestigious amateur motocross national in the world... The Loretta Lynn's Amateur National Championship in Hurricane Mills, TN. However, what if you never had good results to warrant the attention of these rides? Or, what if you have had the results but have still been overlooked?
Episode 3 : Phoenix Rising
June. 09,2015
For those familiar with the traditional route to becoming a professional Supercross and motocross athlete, you are familiar with the same old narrative. Drop out of school, chase the amateur circuit, win the biggest amateur national in the world, Loretta Lynn's, get a factory ride, make money (hopefully), avoid injury, and retire. While that seems to be the norm in this sport, factory Honda's, Cole Seely, didn't quite follow that path.
Episode 2 : The Unknown
April. 29,2015
episode II, The Unknown, features CycleTrader/Rock River Yamaha's, Luke Renzland, as he negotiates his 250 East Coast rookie Supercross season. In episode II, we join Renzland at his infamous Dreamland property in Live Oak, FL as he prepares for his first-ever Daytona Supercross experience. Renzland and his family not only give us complete access to document his prep and share insight into his unique and somewhat head-scratching journey to the professional ranks, but also grants our cameras complete access to the Daytona Supercross! From daytime qualifying all the way to the main event, Renzland allows us to document the highs and lows of race day at the infamous Daytona International Speedway.
Episode 1 : This is Home
December. 23,2014
This Is Home, gives you, the viewer, an in-depth perspective of 15-year professional Supercross and motocross racer, Andrew Short, and his family. A colorado native, Andrew, and his wife, Jacki, moved to Smithville, TX in 2005. Throughout much of Andrew's professional career, he has lived under the shadows of being so close to winning races and championships, yet, from an outsiders perspective, he simply doesn't have the mental capabilities to execute and reach his goal of the top step of the podium.
