Team Dunlop is currently accepting applications for the 2014 team exclusively through its Team Dunlop community site, which is powered by Hookit. Sponsorship applications are being accepted until January 31. To apply, visit Team Dunlop or Hookit profile at www.hookit.com/dunlop .

Team Dunlop is one of the nation’s most respected amateur Motocross and Off-Road racer support programs in the United States. As a Team Dunlop sponsored rider, you will be offered special tire support and a social network to communicate and interact with other motocross and off-road riders. Being a Team Dunlop member also provides riders with personal profiles for self-promotion, monthly contests, and technical information on various MX tracks around the country.

Since it’s founding in 2007, many Team Dunlop members have had great success in their professional careers after graduating from the program. In 2013, Team Dunlop alumni made its mark in AMA Pro racing, including Eli Tomac winning the 250 AMA National Motocross title and Justin Barcia finishing third overall in his 450-class AMA National Motocross debut season.

The Motos and Friends Podcast is brought to you by Arai helmets. The founder of Arai Helmets was the man who created the first motorcycle helmet in Japan to protect his own head, and as a result, launched the Japanese motorcycle helmet industry. Arai focuses on glancing off performance, accumulating small differences decade after decade, to further rider protection.

The Arai Difference: If your experience has been that “Arai helmets are hard to get on,” then the Contour-X, designed with a wider bottom opening than previous models for easier on/off, is the helmet you’ve been waiting for. Once inside, you will be amazed at the extreme comfort, a key benefit of the Contour-X for long-distance touring, and if you’re into ADV or dual-sport riding, then you’ll want to check out the new Arai XD-5. So try on an Arai at your local dealer. You will be instantly amazed at the fit and all-day comfort of any Arai helmet. You should also check out AraiAmericas.com to learn more.

This week’s two segments both bring you something a little different…

In our first segment, Don Williams and Kelly Callan chat about Beta Alp X 350. This modest displacement single cylinder four-stroke from the Italian factory is described as an “Urban Adventure” bike. With styling that would fit well in a Mad Max movie, the rugged looking machine exudes fun and cool in equal measure. Don and Kelly discuss whether the Alp X lives up to its charisma.

Our guest this episode is again, something different. I doubt you have ever heard of IR Kinetics. The company uses a proprietary infra-red technology that tracks objects to within centimeters of their locations—in real time. For motorcycle enthusiasts, this has massive implications. One example they’re currently working on is where video gaming and MotoGP could intersect. The company could create a hybrid experience where you could ‘virtually’ race against the other riders on track. Imagine if you could line up on the grid next to Marc and Pecco, and see if you could compete? This is just one of many ideas from IR Kinetics. Teejay Adams chats with Gilly Switalski (CEO of IR Kinetics), and Stefy Bau. Stefy won three world motocross championships, two WMX USA championships, plus the Loretta Lynn AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship and seven Italian Championships. Gilly and Stefy enthusiastically explain the technology and how it’s about to change our motorcycling world. It’s a cliché, but it could literally be a game-changer. Check out this video on IRK
