“I have a pay check. It’s a consistent 30-year deal that I can retire on. I have a 401k, a truck, gas card, company cards… I mean, it’s a killer job. What did I ever get in racing?” says Sean Collier, the star in episode five of SPECTRUM entitled, Perception. A now retired Supercross and motocross racer, Collier, who was a highly touted amateur sensation in the late 1990s and early 2000s, has a steady job, a family with two children and a true passion for riding his dirt bike… For fun! In episode V, Sean opens up in grave detail about his personal struggles racing in the amateur motocross scene as well as his issues to find success in the professional ranks. From discussing a fist fight with his own father, watching his friends get abused by their own parents, to riding for factory teams and being dropped because of “asinine injury clauses,” Collier gives us a truly no-holds-barred look into what many truly do experience when chasing the dream of a professional dirt bike racer, but rather not talk about on camera.
