Mike Kiedrowski on the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast

 

Presented by 6D Helmets

We always think that it is amazing when a former champion can retire from motocross and Supercross racing and start a new life, completely separate from the sport that consumed every moment of every day, previously. But that’s what four-time National Motocross Champion Mike Kiedrowski has done. After retiring from MX and SX racing with 30 wins in 1997, the “MX Kied” worked as an electrician briefly before joining the factory Suzuki Off-Road race team and earned a gold medal at the International Six Days Enduro before retiring for good and settling into a lucrative construction career and hanging up his boots…for good. While Kiedrowski still follows the sport closely and attends the races that are close to his Santa Clarita, California, home, it’s been years since he threw his leg over a bike and he says that he doesn’t miss it at all. We were excited to catch up with Mike this morning to reminisce about some old times, talk bikes, gear, and teammates, and see what he thinks of the current state of racing. Enjoy!
