Jordan Burns (Strung Out) talks to ESPN about motocross

Strung Out drummer Jordan Burns recently spoke to ESPN about the integration of punk rock into motocross, as well as Burns' own motocross exploits. Check out an excerpt below:

“You guys had something different going on as you were representing the punk rock scene so you had that mix of music and motocross that no one else had. How did this come about?

Well, I don't mean to pat ourselves on the backs but, I really honestly believe that myself, Erik Sandin from NOFX, and Kenny Watson really had a first hand in introducing punk rock music to the motocross world through Moto XXX.

Back in the day no one was listening to punk rock music. No one knew the bands we put into our videos until they started hearing the tunes through our video and then we put out the first “Moto XXX” soundtrack on CD, which no other film company had done. We were always really tight with all the bands so it made it easy for us with using the music and getting the rights with bands like my own, NOFX, Pennywise, Lagwagon, and so on. I really do believe that Moto XXX was responsible for bringing punk rock music into motocross.”
