Inside the Helmet With: Monte Frank

For many months I searched and searched… I knew he existed, he had to.. I’d seen the footage and heard the stories… In Oklahoma he is a legend, his supermoto feats on wet tracks are the envy of most men. When his rivals hear his name, they reply with “freak in the wet” and walk away shaking their heads.

A former Mx pro turned supermoto rider, he was the 1st person to put a Berg on the podium in the AMA. This year, whilst showing them all how to ride in the wet at Mettet – was forced to retire injured to an incident and a certain victory was gone. When I finally found him, he was teaching supermoto to underprivileged children on push bikes and agreed to a quick chat… For a fee…

So here is the end result of a quick chat with former actor/model and AMA star Monte Frank.

MF: “Damn, That was a sweet intro!!!!”

Monte,  Pro MX’er to Pro SuperMoto.. Your obviously handy on a bike. Why the change to SuperMoto?

MF: “Well, I actually stopped racing MX full-time and started racing Legend Cars. I did that for 2 years and won a Semi-pro national championship then followed it up with a 2nd at the nationals in the Pro division. I decided i was getting bored with the cars and saw a SuperMoto race in Dallas ,TX. I thought it looked fun and went and bought a bike, I raced one amateur race in California then went pro two weeks later..”

So as a Pro, the world would believe it’s all private planes, flash hotels and factory bikes. Can you confirm or deny?
