He's a kid from Ripon Ca who's phone has probably been ringing quite a bit the last 48 hours. Was a decent mini rider but nothing spectacular. Maybe a Dungey.

So should we expect big things in the near future?

He’s one of the top youth racers right now. There are a few kids on 125s that I would say would beat Villopoto right now

Raced 4 classes in Freestone and walked away with 3 titles and a 2nd. Got 2 titles in Daytona, his first time there.
Races schoolboy, "B" and I think some other class.
He's not exactly unknown concidering he's on the Orange Brigade team and has support from Monster but if I were RedBull better I'd make something happen quick. He's on the rise for sure. We'll be interesting to see where he ends up in a couple years.

Marchbanks and Bailey were racing A
Tijero rode B and schoolboy, but yes he dominated those B and schoolboy classes in an impressive way.

He won Loretta's back on 65s and then went to the Junior World event (Junior MXoN basically) and killed it there. Had a couple of down years battling injuries and then finished his minibike days with a podium at Monster Cup in 2016. I know a lot of people who have seen him ride a lot for a long time and for the past year they've all been talking quite a bit about how he's stepped it way up.
He's an awesome kid with a great family and you won't find anymore more focused or determined. If he keeps riding like he has since spring nationals to now, he'll have a contract signed somewhere in August I'm sure.

There was a race that BOTH Marchbanks and Bailey were in with Tijero and he waxed everybody both motors I can't remember which class is was but he beat all of the heavy hitters straight up both motos at Freestone

I don't want to argue with you but Marchbanks and Bailey only raced 250A and Open A. Tijero was racing 125, schoolboy and 250B

You either got some bad info or are thinking of the wrong event. Marchbanks and Bailey raced the pro sport classes, Tijero raced 125, Schoolboy 1 & 2, and one B limited class.

Great family, his parents have their heads screwed on straight and know the balance of racing and school. He will be a success in life and as a racer.
Also, podiumed at Monster Cup.

not trying to get into a pissing match here, Aiden is a very very fast am coming up and i expect big things from him. dude rails on a 125.
Pierce Brown went 1-1 in 250B, Aiden went 1-1 in 250B Limited. 250B is considered the premier class of the two.
in Schoolboy2 (another premier class), Aiden won his heat and Swoll won the other heat, Pierce won the 2nd moto with everyone and Aiden finished 4th behind Brown, Flock, and Swoll. Swoll won the championship, Aiden finished 2nd overall which is an amazing result against a lot of talent, Brown was 3rd overall.
Aiden went 1-1 in 125 12-16.
none of those races had Marchbanks, Bailey, etc. he only raced all the heavy hitters in the Schoolboy2 class in one moto and finished 4th. again, not discrediting the 4th at all, he is clearly going to be a big name and is well on his way obviously. just saying that he "flat out MURDERED every class and moto" paints a little different picture than what actually happened.

No matter what I would imagine yarding Ryan Freakin Villipoto would raise your stock with many a sponsor

I noticed his bike pulled a lot harder than RVs from the gopro. I thought he was running a 150 lol.

Along with being a damn good rider, I'd put his motor right up there with any PC 125 motor. Haeseker builds his motors and that guy's a wizard
