The top four ended up pass-
ing everyone in the field, which
earned them
the right to climb
the final hill, Truth or Dare, in
front of hundreds of spectators
below. LeBlond climbed the hill
and made just enough time to
claim victory at the 2025 Grind
-
ing Stone Hard Enduro.
Riordan
made up some
serious time and was only 45
seconds behind LeBlond to
finish in second. Webb finished
10 minutes behind for third
place and his first podium on
the Rocky Mountain Yamaha
YZ250X. James Flynn finished
in fourth, his best USHE Premier
race finish yet. Braxton Hintze
eventually worked his way to
fourth place on lap two, but with
such a short course and 22-min
-
ute lap times, racers were piling
up in certain
sections, adding to
the already difficult obstacles
on this course. Riordan made
a charge and moved his way
to second place with his sights
set on LeBlond; Webb and Flynn
were sitting a bit behind them in
third and fourth.
LeBlond held a strong lead
until his second-to-last lap, in
which he had trouble getting
up Stairway to Heaven clean,
losing two minutes to Riordan,
and things started to get heated
as the final hill approached.

Grinding Stone podium.
