"We are excited to get this
season going," said Team
Manager Carlen Gardner. "For
year two, we are taking what we
learned from our first season to
make improvements and con

Sipes, Baylor Team Up
R
yan Sipes announced that he
has joined Steward Baylor's
Rocky Mountain/Red Bear Rac-
ing Kawasaki Off-Road Team as
the team's manager.
Known for his remarkable
versatility, Sipes boasts an
impressive professional Super
-
cross and motocross career, and
he has also excelled in off-road
racing. Notably, he was the first
American to achieve the indi-
vidual overall title in the ISDE.
His wealth of knowledge should
be a significant asset to Baylor's
expanding GNCC and National
Enduro program.
Sipes said, "I am
proud to be managing
the Rocky Mountain/Red
Bear Racing Kawasaki
Off-Road Team for 2025
and beyond. I am super
grateful for the opportu
-
nity and excited to get back into
GNCC and National Enduro rac-
ing. The atmosphere is just dif-
ferent in off-road, in a good way.
And, although I won't be racing,
it's going to be fun passing along
my knowledge to our riders and
helping them be their best and
achieve their goals. Now that we
aren't competitors, I can finally
share my secrets with him!
"I was a Team Green rider all
throughout my amateur career.
It feels good to be back with the
brand. The new KXs are amazing
bikes, we have great mechanics,
[and] we have winning riders. We
have an unbelievable practice
facility at The Shoals MX. Our
whole facility is top notch."
