For our ’23 GasGas MC 450F Garage Build, we hooked up with former pro mechanic Eddie Laret. Eddie spent many years working with up-and-coming riders like Ryan Villopoto, Blake Baggett, Austin Stroupe, Mike Alessi, and Nico Izzi. After five years on the amateur tour, he decided to move to the pro supercross/motocross series. Eddie went on to work for the Rockstar Suzuki, MotoConcepts, Valli Yamaha, and Star Racing teams. He had a group of elite riders through the years, and they had some success. After starting a family, he decided it was time to find a 9-to-5 job. He’s a family man now who loves to ride dirt bikes and build beauties like this one. He has always been a mechanic that pays attention to detail and puts a lot of pride in his bikes.
