You may remember a show called "The Reality of Speed" that aired on Spike TV last year. It was a reality based program showing behind the scenes of a Supercross/Motocross team and a NASCAR team. Well, it's back this year sans NASCAR. Team Samsung Wireless Sprint Honda is the featured team of the new season of The Reality of Speed, which is set to begin airing this weekend on the Speed Channel.
A few weeks ago, we got the opportunity to sample Josh Summy's Team Samsung Wireless Sprint Honda team bike and this week we got a sneak peak at the first episode of the "The Reality of Speed" that revolves around this top rate Supercross/Motocross team.
The Samsung Wireless Sprint Honda team has approached the sport with a fresh perspective that is likely going to help bring motocross to a whole new level of mainstream recognition. Team owner Michael Holigan has had great success in the business world and he is applying some of that experience to one of his passions, motocross racing.

Also look for Team Samsung in an upcoming Dirt Rider feature on factory-support bikes.
Holigan has already attracted some of the best non-motorcycle sponsorship ever assembled for a motocross team at any level and one of the ways he has done that is by creating a reality TV show that revolves around the team. The second season of The Reality of Speed TV show will hit the air this Sunday, July 3rd at 12:00 pm Eastern time (double check your local listings).
We got a sneak peak at the first show and can report that it is definitely worth tuning into. The show offers a great behind the scenes look at what it takes to race at the top level and like any reality show, the tension that comes with multiple personalities living and working together. Like the team bike we got to ride, the show is really good and definitely worth tuning into.
