Maybe he's not winning outright, but this kid gets my vote as a real motorcycle racer. He can podium.... a SX 250 race, the World Trophy at the ISDE (While earning a Gold Medal, winning Special Tests and his final moto) and a GNCC XC2 race. Husky needs to sign him for '15....
He's definately on my Husky dream team list too. I really like his attitude in the interviews I've seen with him. He's also a really well rounded fast guy too. I always wonder how these guys would do offroad. Wouldn't it be cool seeing. RC and KW at some races?
RC stated he has no interest in off road racing. KW is the coolest MX/SX rider ever, but don't see him doing it. At least McGrath rode Erzberg!
Didn't know that McGrath did that, something else to search for on YouTube . I wouldn't know anything about racing if it weren't for here and facebook lol
Oh yeah, my Wife stationed w/the Navy EOD Chief that sang the National Anthem at A1. As soon as they announced his name she was like, "No #$^&HGTR^^%$% way!!"
Great rider and all respect for him. The thing that makes Zach a little different, is that he didn't retire from MX/SX to ride off road.... he's doing it all at once!
Makes Mike Brown more the man in my book. Oh, done winning in SX/MX and old, heck lets go win off road races and endurocross. Love it. Wish Doug Henry was not ever paralyzed, he would be the same kinda guy.
That's another pretty cool interview ... He seems pretty wise on his out look of racing for ~24 yrs old...

Barring an alien abduction, Anderson is going to run away with it this year. The guys I pull for every weekend though I know they don't stand a chance: Champion Canada Weisbruch Leib These guys are all local to the Temecula/Menifee/Winchester/Murietta/Sun City area. Seely's little Brother works at Temecula Motosports....and does NOT ride! WTH!!! Wilson, Durham, Roczen and Politelli also used to live in the Menifee area as did Nicco Izzy and RV2 but they aren't local guys. RV2 had a super nice compound near Paloma High School in Menifee.
It's always more fun to watch someone I know race than just another PRO rider ... -- With 5 of the first 6 races this yr in CA and with the riders you mention below, CA must be the capital of SX racing in the country ... I gotta see CR22 finish well outside CA before I think he is back ... --/ Is that Leib the same guy who rode the Husky over in EU to a 11th place finish the only yr bwm put forth that weak attempt at real dirt bike racing?
