Galster on Slednecks DVD Release
Slednecks had the opportunity to catch up with team rider Josh Galster after he completed a 100-mile bicycle ride and just before the launch of Minor Details; a documentary film staring himself, Misti Hurst, Danny Eslick, and many other stars from the AMA Superbike world. Here’s what he had to say:
Late last month, I participated in a century ride, a 100-mile bicycle ride, outside of Columbus , OH in Westerville for the 24th Annual Dry Run bicycle tour. It was a benefit ride that was put on by Westerville Bicycle Club that my brother was going to ride in. I happened to be in the area when the tour was going to happen so I signed up and said, “Why not, sounds like fun, I’ve never done a 100-mile bicycle ride, let’s do it.” Well it was a lot more work than I had prepared for, but I was determined to finish. I had a lot of fun in the process and it went really well. The terrain consisted of many rolling hills with a couple steep climbs, flat roads through corn fields, and just a good overall scenic view.
It was good training since I’m in the off-season right now, I need to stay in shape and be ready for next season. I plan on riding heaps this winter whether it is on a bicycle, dirt bike, race bike, sled, snowboard, surf board, whatever that I can do to ‘cross-train,’ so I’ll see you on the road, dirt, or snow.
Right after the century ride I drove to Colorado for the movie release party of Minor Details. We had the release party at Hooters in Colorado along with the Grandprix Motorsports Bike Night. It was a great turnout with roughly 250-300 motorcycles there, door prizes, and free Slednecks give-a-ways. The movie was a huge hit with the crowd.
The movie, Minor Details, gives you an idea of what it is like to race in the AMA series and the difficulty of competing at the most elite level in the US . It is a documentary of my season last year, which includes Misti Hurst, Danny Eslick, and
Ben Thompson. Check it out, it starts shipping tomorrow so go to www.Slednecks.com and pick up your copy today.
