Season 2 Episodes

1. Alternate Route

July 4th, 2016

Episode one of The Spectrum Series picks up right where it left off in season one. Opening season two is former 250 West Coast Supercross champion, MX of Nations champion, and long time factory rider, Jake Weimer. Weimer puts it all on the table and opens up for the first time ever about his time at factory Kawasaki, giving viewers a true look at what he endured while being teammates to multi-time Supercross champion, Ryan Villopoto and the struggles he faced for four, long years. Meanwhile, joining Weimer in this season premiere episode is 16-year-old Michael Mosiman. Mosiman is currently racing the A class and looking to transition from the amateur ranks and into the professional ranks within the next year and a half. However, prior to doing so, he gives us insight into his heart, determination, and how he takes things to the "extreme" in order to better himself everyday. Season II, episode one gives viewers a unique contrast between a veteran racer who is currently in the later stages of his professional career, and then the racer in Michael Mosiman is anxiously awaiting to make the jump into the professional ranks and make a name for himself just as Jake Weimer has over the last 10-years.

2. In Our Sights

July 18th, 2016

Episode II of The Spectrum Series takes us right into the weekly grind of former factory GEICO Honda rider, Matt Bsiceglia, as he works to find his speed and consistency on a newly formed privateer team during the 2016 Supercross season. Meanwhile, amateur minicycle rider, Talon Hawkins, shows us first hand the heart of the amateur motocross racing scene by allowing us to document his journey at the Loretta Lynn's Regional Qualifier as he attempts to qualify for the biggest amateur national in the world. Winning Loretta Lynn's is the pinnacle of amateur motocross racing. And, nobody knows this better then Matt Bisceglia, who has won multiple championships at The Ranch, one of which earned him his factory GEICO Honda ride for the 2014 and 2015 racing seasons. However, winning the most prestigious amateur national in the world doesn't always mean your professional career will continue to ride the wave of success from the amateur ranks. Bisceglia goes in-depth to talk about his ups and downs since turing pro, losing his factory ride, riding for a privateer team while fighting through injury and more. While Bisceglia has won multiple championships at The Ranch, 12-year-old Talon Hawkins has, by design, never competed at Loretta Lynn's. Talon and his patrons allow our cameras access to document their journey to qualify for a second class at a Loretta Lynn's regional, as well as discuss how motocross is not everything, and the importance of keeping Talon in public school while keeping their eyes humbly set on the ideas of turning pro one day.

3. Reality

July 25th, 2016

In episode III of The Spectrum Series, we dive deep into the world of two-time Endurocross champion and factory Red Bull/KTM rider, Cody Webb, who opens up about his personal struggles with his family and how he's overcome and figured out how to balance a sometimes rocky relationship. Joining Webb, is privateer racer, Vann Martin. In 2011, Vann won the an amateur championship at the biggest amateur national in the world, Loretta Lynn's. Come 2012, Vann has a top prospect in the pro-am class and, if he won a title in 2012 at The Ranch, he would land himself a ride in the professional ranks. However, as is often the case, not everything works out exactly how we would like it to. Both Webb and Martin go into the intimate details of their struggles on and off the track to bring our viewers a new perspective on the passion for riding dirt bikes and why it is worth facing reality head-on with the heartache, injuries, and financial struggles of such a physically demanding sport.

4. Let It Be

August 8th, 2016

Featuring current Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha factory pilot, Alex Martin, and freestyle motocross athlete, Garrett Ahlf, episode IV of The Spectrum Series transcends all action sports, championships, gold medals, paychecks; the list could on and on. Garret Ahlf opens up for the first time ever on camera about his father, who committed suicide in 2014, and how that not only effected him mentally and emotionally, but the struggles of walking into work at the family business every day. Joining Ahlf, Alex Martin goes in-depth about his unique career as a professional racer and, after seven years as a privateer, 2016 (his eighth year as a professional) marks his first year as a full fledged factory rider. A-Mart opens up about the feelings of doubt and thinking of walking away from the sport, his worst year in 2013 with major team issues, and so much more. Episode IV hopes to open up eyes to those struggling in not only their career, but also the battle with depression and suicidal thoughts and the implications of letting your depression get the best of you. As we said in episode one of season II, you may not recogizne names such as Garrett Ahlf, but after today, you will remember him and see that he is no different then you or I.

Episode VI of The Spectrum Series brings you two young men that have spent the 2016 season building a name for themselves, while still remaining somewhat mysterious to many fans within the sport. Their stories overlooked, yet after the 2016 season, both Colt Nichols & Mitchell Oldenberg earned their first full factory contracts for the 2017 racing season. Both Nichols and Oldenberg didn't have the biggest and brightest amateur careers, and their first couple of years in the professional ranks weren't anything that many took note of. However, through hard work, dedication, and a certain drive, both of these young men have now reach the goal of a factory ride, however, now, for both riders, they want to win to prove their value to an often fickle industry that can easily dispose of them without hesitation: these are The Driven....

October 11th, 2016

Andrew Jackson... Is this a name you remember? Probably not. Jimmy Decotis? What do you know of him? Probably very little. Episode seven of The Spectrum Series dives into the forgotten name of Andrew Jackson his, what same in this niche industry, would call a failure. Meanwhile, Jimmy Decotis opens up for the first time about his financial struggles of being a factory supported rider while not earning a salary, his European struggles, and the night he almost lost his best friend. Dirt bikes may currently dominate Jimmy's life, and may have dominated Andrew's life, but both understand there is far more to life then racing a dirt bike and, until you can understand that, will your souls truly be free?

8. Souls Purpose

October 25th, 2016

Christian Craig... Today, many fans know Christian for his racing and his beautiful family (his wife Paige and their son Jagger). They know that Christian races for the factory GEICO Honda team and lives in Southern California. However, aside from the hardcore, fanatical fans and industry insiders, many watching Christian race through their television screen on Saturday night do not know his history. In the season finale of The Spectrum Series, Christian opens up about his early years, his father's addiction to drugs, the separation from his birth parents, walking away from racing all together, and more. Christian is a fan favorite on the weekends, but we hope, after the next 36-minutes, that you will be cheering for Christian and his family for other reasons besides his skill on a dirt bike.
