Webb Out For The
Outdoors
M
onster Energy Star Racing Yamaha's
Cooper Webb revealed before the
Spring Creek round of the AMA Pro Moto-
cross Championship that he is going to sit
out the rest of the series because of a knee
injury that he suffered the previous weekend
at RedBud. He says he will have a minor
procedure on his knee on Monday, July 14,
and should be in action for the three-race
SuperMotocross Playoffs. He had held the
lead in the SuperMotocross season points
standings before sitting out Spring Creek.
"I'm extremely bummed that I'll be missing
the upcoming rounds of Pro Motocross," he said. "I had a personal goal
to make all 31 rounds this season, and I'm disappointed to surrender
the SMX Championship lead this way. On the positive side, it's a quick
fix and recovery. [I] should be back on the bike in around a month so
that we can prepare for the opening playoff round in Charlotte."

Yankee Fork
Rendezvous Trail Ride
Moving Along
T
he inaugural Yankee Fork Rendezvous is moving
along according to the ride's co-founder, Scot
Harden. The ride is an offshoot of Harden's long-
standing Nevada 200, held in the Pacific Northwest
in Challis, Idaho, September 5-7. Like the Nevada
200, the Yankee Fork Rendezvous is a three-day
"non-competitive" off-road trail ride. This year, there
is a 150-rider limit. Harden expects the limit to
expand in future years, but for the first one, the ride
is only permitted for 150, and approximately 100
entries have already been filled.
"I am currently in Challis, wrapping up a week of
working together with [co-founder] Rodney Smith,"
said Harden recently. "We rode and cleared over 75
miles of trail, met with the town council, Chamber
of Commerce, the Forest Service, BLM, and all our
other local service providers. To say we have the
support of the town of Challis is an understatement."
