All Star Lineup of Riders Ready for Everett Washington EnduroCross This Weekend

A full field of riders is ready to challenge Blazusiak for the win!

 Irvine, CA (August 9, 2011) – This Saturday, August 13th,
a stacked field of riders will line up to challenge Taddy Blazusiak for
the win at the GEICO AMA EnduroCross presented by Lucas Oil event in
Everett, Washington. Mike Brown, Blazusiak’s KTM teammate, showed great
speed at the X Games opener and re-passed Taddy multiple times in their
battle early in the main event. Brown is hungry for his first ever
EnduroCross win. Geoff Aaron, now riding a GEICO Honda looked set to
take the X Games win before a trip over the bars pushed him back to an
eventual fifth place finish so he is hungry for redemption. The Monster
Kawasaki team has two young guns set to challenge for the win and Justin
Soule already got a taste of the podium at X Games and his teammate
Taylor Robert has put more emphasis on EnduroCross practice and a full
assault on the series for 2011. Those are just a few of the riders that
will be fighting for the podium. Below is a quick rundown of the top
riders planning to compete:

 

  • Taddy Blazusiak: 2009 and 2010 GEICO EnduroCross Champion and 2011 X Games Enduro X Gold Medal winner.
  • Mike Brown: 2009 WORCS Champion, 2001 AMA 125 MX Champion and 2011 X Games Enduro X Silver Medalist.
  • Justin Soule: Third in 2010 EnduroCross Championship and 2011 X Games Bronze Medalist.
  • Geoff Aaron: 2009 and 2010 GEICO EnduroCross Championship runner up and 10x AMA Trials Champion.
  • Cody Webb: 2010 AMA Trials Champion. Finished on the podium at 2010 Vegas final and now full time for EX.
  • Taylor Robert:
    Multi time WORCS Championship race winner now riding for Monster
    Kawasaki and committed to competing in the GEICO EnduroCross series for
    2011.
  • Kevin Rookstool:
    One of the few riders to qualify for every EnduroCross main event in
    2010. The Oregon rider led the X Games main event for a few laps.
  • Jacob Argubright: Top young off road racer that is dedicating more time to EnduroCross in 2011.
  • Rory Sullivan: Another Pacific Northwest rider that has the speed to surprise the regular front runners.
  • Colton Haaker: Two time EnduroCross Junior Champion that is now aiming for race wins on his Lucas Oil KTM.
  • Gary Sutherlin: Finished third in Everett in 2010 and sixth in the championship.
  • Kyle Redmond: GEICO Honda rider that finished fifth in the 2010 EnduroCross Championship.
  • Jamie Lanza: Zip Ty Husqvarna factory rider that is always a threat to the established stars.
  • Bobby Prochnau: The top Canadian off road rider that rides the team RPM KTM (based near Seattle).
  • Wally Palmer: Perhaps the most exciting rider on the track with his crazy antics has the speed to challenge the leaders.

 

If
you live anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, you can make plans for an
awesome day and night of action. The pit area and Comcast Arena are open
for FREE all day to the public to watch the riders practice and qualify
for the evening program. But if you want a seat for the main events,
you better get a ticket since this event was a sellout last year.
