Would be cool to see Zacho show up at some different events. Could totally see him pull a Sipes and do really well at more than a few different disciplines!

Pretty sure he’s training jack chambers. I have a feeling he was just following and pushing him the entire time

Wait, Huff Daddy said on the Whiskey show that gnccs are gnarly. Osborne can do that but no sx?

Zach himself has stated many times that he can still ride and go fast, his issue was going top tier speed and having the endurance to go that fast each weekend for an entire series. He even said he felt like he could have went out and still rode around in the top 10 of SX/MX but he didnt feel right taking the money and not being able to fight for podiums and wins.

So, it wouldnt shock me to see him show up at some events he wants to attend and wax everybody.

Yep. I was there and got to witness it first hand in his class. He and Jack were absolutely flying and looked like the had a blast at the same time. My son and his raced together in the Stacyc race as well, which was fun to watch.

And yes, it’s my understanding that Zach is training Jack.

Zacko has expressed interest in the Sonora Rally. He already has a rally bike ready to go.

Looking at those lap times it sure seems it. Good to see.

As far as the why can’t he race SX I mean if he feels off at a local race he can pull off, no biggie. If he’s on a factory contract expected to win not so much.

I was a couple bikes down from Zach on the start. Saw him for about 3-4 seconds in the first straight away, I saw some cell phone clips of him and Jack ripping the MX section on the track and they were hauling ass. Sending every jump 5 feet past the landing to flat.

According to the scoring sheet Zach actually purchased a membership instead of a standard one day. Hopefully we’ll see him back out there soon!

If Zach O wanted to, he’s be running Top 5 in GNCC pretty easily.

I imagine it wouldn’t take him more than 3-4 races to podium at least if he’s training consistently for it.
