Navigating Amateur MX – Ep. 14 with Special Guest Daniel Blair
In this episode of Navigating Amateur Motocross, Coach Robb and Derrek Harris sit down with Daniel Blair—former AMA Arenacross Champion, TV analyst, and founder of Supercross University—to break down the real roadmap from amateur to professional motocross. From 50cc to Futures, Daniel shares his expert insight on rider development, Supercross preparation, and why every athlete’s path should be unique and long-term focused.
Whether you’re chasing a spot at Loretta Lynn’s, eyeing Supercross Futures, or want to build a smart amateur career, this episode is packed with practical advice. Learn how to avoid burnout, prevent injuries, and train for Supercross-style riding starting as early as 65cc. Discover why some kids thrive early (like Jet Lawrence & Haiden Deegan), while others need mental and physical time to grow into the pro level.
Daniel also discusses how families can strategize around Arena Cross, GNCC, and money races to build confidence, race craft, and exposure. Hear why the Futures + Combine format is reshaping pro scouting and what changes might be coming to age eligibility rules, minor league racing, and Supercross training access.
