happy about where we're going
from here."
Fifth place went to Cullins,
who recovered from his tough
first lap. The strong finish also
earned Cullins the Junior Endu-
roCross titleāa championship
within a championship for riders
21 and under. The 19-year-old
also finished the season in sixth
place.
"I've been working super
hard all year," Cullins said. "My
main goal was to get top fives
and, about halfway through the
season, I was in the lead for
the Junior Championship and I
focused on that as the goal for
the year. It's just been a great
year. I finished top-five in half
the races, I shared the holeshot
tonight with Colton Haaker and
I am just looking forward to
getting the details for next year
dialed in and come back better
than ever."
Even by Costa Mesa I only had
a couple 12-minute motos in me
before the race. I just fell apart
in the main and couldn't hold
on. Losing the championship is
a bummer, but it's nice to cap of
the season with a big win here in
Idaho like this. I was doing stuff
on the track no one else was
doing and it was fun to win the
crowd over by jumping big stuff.
Now, it's off to get my arm pump
under control and SuperEnduro
prep."
The battle for third in the race
and championship between
Tremaine and Redmond was
intense. Redmond came into
the race with a single-point lead
over Tremaine, so whichever
rider finished in front of the other
would take the spot. Tremaine
quickly worked up from eighth
position on lap one to lock into
a battle with Redmond. They
traded third a few times before
Tremaine opened a gap in the
closing laps. Redmond held on
for fourth in the race and cham-
pionship.
"The season started off great
with the Alta electric bike," said
Tremaine. "They were putting in
a lot of effort with me and the
EnduroCross program and they,
unfortunately, closed up shop.
So, I'm really lucky Beta took a
chance with me and I just tried
to keep my head down and not
let anything get to me, so there
really isn't a reason I shouldn't
have performed on any bike.
Going into the off-season I'm
working really hard. I'm really
Austin Paden and Rocky Butler.
HERE'S TO THE FANS!
The 2018 EnduroCross series had a
large increase in spectator attendance,
which was noticed and appreciated by
the riders. "From the very first race at
Prescott Valley, the crowds were great,
and it was great to hear cheers when
you made a pass or cleared the joker
lane," Colton Haaker said.
