Who's the youngest rider to go pro?
Didnt Rick Johnson turn pro when he was 13? Tripes snuck in at 15 I think.
The Shop
Robbie then made quite a splash, as he became the youngest winner ever of an AMA National when he took the ’93 Steel City National, barely three months past his 16th birthday, as well as winning the National Arenacross Championship that same year.

Pretty wild he was that young when he won a national! damn
I may be wrong but I believe the old age limit was 16.
Herlings raced the 2009 MXdN about three weeks after his 15th birthday.
Pit Row
But if you're talking guys who have won ama pro races early,RJ, Lechien, Kyle Lewis, Pastrana and Stewy all won ama pro races at 16. Stewy was the youngest to win followed by Pastrana and Lewis.
GP is probably Herllings.
Edit: Didn't see Wandell's post above.
nice read on him right here
