Episode 13 of Island Torque is a proper bench-racing debrief with Shaki. We break down Anaheim 1 and San Diego Supercross, look at what actually mattered on track, and separate hype from performance. Haiden Deegan, Max Anstie, and the Ducati Troy Lee Designs program all get put under the microscope. No fluff. Just racing, results, and real takeaways.
Join us as we discuss the Coney Island Pink Sands Scramble with Jyire Mitchell.
Episode 1 of Island Torque – Talking Heads drops us into the wild south with Sean Moffatt from the Falkland Islands Motorcycle Association. We talk life at the edge of the map, how motorsports survive in brutal conditions, and why riding in the Falklands is not for the soft. Remote, raw, and refreshingly honest. This is island motorsport with zero polish and plenty of grit.
First show of 2026 and we kicked the door clean off. Falklands sent 2025 out with a New Year’s Eve race, Bermuda went full throttle with four races in two weeks, and feelings may get hurt along the way. This episode marks a shift. Less chasing lap times, more digging into why island motocross exists at all. Results are everywhere. Context is not. Island racing survives on volunteers, bad logistics, stubborn passion, and the refusal to quit. That is what we are here to talk about. Event of the Week goes to Magilligan MX Park with the Irish Youth Winter Series coming up, and we drop a big tease. The Island Motorsports Association Hall of Fame announcements are coming this month, and the picks will surprise people. If you want polite takes, look elsewhere. If you want island motocross, chaos, and a proper start to 2026, you are in the right place.
Episode 11 – Final Show of the Year 🎆 We’re closing out the year with a Minisode and plenty of islandmotorsport action. We finally announce the Bag o’ Swag winner (oops 😅), crown our Rider of theYear – Natalie Kane, and drop a brutally honest Falkland Islands weatherreport: forking windy. We preview Talking Heads, launching in January with akiller guest lineup already locked in. Hosted by Justin Maley, with Canada in the booth.

It’s the Monday before Christmas and we come in hot. This week’s main story takes us deep into Ascension Island Motocross, where Lewis Thomas gives us the inside scoop on a scene built with shovels, rakes, and pure ingenuity. Six riders, zero dealers, and reputations that travel faster than they do. If you break it, you fix it. We also cover: MX Jamaica updates and new contacts on the ground Shaki’s Riders of the Week A stacked list of upcoming events across St Helena, the Falklands, Gozo, Malta, Cuba, and the big one—Coney Island MXdIN momentum and early discussions for a potential inaugural international island event Major progress on the Island Athlete Development Program (gear, bike, suspension, engine, graphics—all in motion) A preview of the Island Talking Heads series launching in January As always, Justin Maley hosts, Shaki is back on the mic, and Canada is holding it down in the producer booth.
