"My Dad Rode in Dickies and Nike Tennis Shoes" - Hunter Yoder

Hunter Yoder was the youngest sponsored KTM rider in Orange Brigade history - signed at just 7 years old in 2013. But the road to get there was anything but easy. His parents had him at 19, his dad was riding in Dickies and Nike tennis shoes in El Cajon, and the family was living in an apartment with no money and no connections to the motocross world. This is the origin story of how a kid from San Diego went from riding a Honda 50 in circles in the desert to becoming KTM's youngest ever factory-supported rider. 0:00 - Youngest KTM Sponsored Rider Ever 0:45 - The Slow Bleed After GEICO 1:06 - What Does 6 Bikes at 7 Years Old Look Like 1:36 - Parents Had Him at 19 2:46 - Dad Rode in Dickies and Nike Tennis Shoes 3:14 - Dad's Desert Racing and Fab Shop 3:37 - Riding a Honda 50 in Circles at 3 Years Old 4:02 - First KTM at 5 - Someone Said Your Kid's Good 4:14 - Starwest and Gold Cup Days 4:35 - Public School Until the GEICO Deal 4:56 - No Money - Mom Working Two Jobs 5:30 - The Fight Was Instilled Early 6:06 - Never Thought About Doing Anything Else 6:17 - First Memories of Wanting to Race 7:01 - Seven and Eight is When It Got Serious 7:18 - Grandma Helped With Bikes 7:36 - Traveled in an 18-Foot Toy Hauler 8:04 - Mixed-Match Gear But Made It Work 8:27 - How Did KTM Orange Brigade Happen WATCH CHAPTER 393 FT.
