Under the Helmet with Eli Tomac

There is nothing ordinary about the Tomacs especially when it comes to Eli Tomac. As Eli enters his 12th competitive year as a professional motocross rider, not much has changed for the 6-time champion. In this episode of Under the Helmet we take a deep dive on what it was like for Eli growing up in Colorado, amateur racing, and his unorthodox training system.

"The problem with racing is you get addicted to going for the checker flag, the win." - Eli Tomac
