When Ryan Sipes decided to retire from full-time Supercross and motocross racing, we really didn’t know what the future would hold for the former 250 SX Main Event winner. One of the nicest guys in the pit area, Sipes was burned out by the grind and wanted to be with his family at home in Kentucky. Fast-forward a few years and Sipes is one of the more well-traveled and well-rounded racers in the off-road motorcycling, with accomplishments in nearly every major discipline from motocross to ISDE to flat track. With the support of Red Bull and KTM, Sipes has set up a wicked schedule for 2019 that will see him on the starting line at a number of iconic events, from Daytona Bike Week to the Springfield TT to the Erzbergrodeo hard enduro. 

Because it’s Red Bull, a high-quality film crew has been tied into the deal for a story-telling video series titled, General Sipes. With Wes Williams, Jason Crane, and Danny Stuart behind the camera, the series will be a solid effort that shows how capable Sipes is on a motorcycle. The first episode of the series has just dropped and over the course of 18-minutes, introduces Sipes to the masses, explains the varied events and motorcycles, and shows how the tour kicked off with Supercross, TT, and GNCC racing during Bike Week in Florida.
