Five Minutes With Fletch - Keith Johnson

Southwick Ace Keith Johnson embarks on Five Minutes with Fletch.
I feel like I have known Keith my whole life, I pretty much have, or at least as far back as I can remember. Keith Johnson is the man behind the rebirth of Southwick “The Wick” which saw Jett Lawrence and Tom Vialle claim the top stops in their respective classes in 2023. He is also a top racer and has had a professional motocross career which lasted nearly 25 years.
In this episode of Five Minutes with Fletch we talk gating style, plans for Southwick 2024 and recap on VMXdN Foxhill 2023. We take a deep dive into the Over 50 s class (which is one of my favourite races at Foxhill), whose line-up reads like a list of all-time greats including Alessio Chiodi, Doug Dubach, Brian Wheeler and Jocke Karlsson to name a few.
I hope you enjoy the interview.
