In this series, we highlight the privateers — the riders grinding it out without factory backing. They’re building their own programs, growing their brands, and working their way into the sport’s top ranks. In Episode 16, host Brent Bowser sits down with Leum Oehlhof to talk about turning pro this year, the injuries and setbacks he has worked through, his return to racing, and what he has planned for the 2027 season.
