Prebe Wins, Alexander Clinches Championship T he final round of the AMA Motoclimb Super Series was the Dairyland Motoclimb in Bay City, Wisconsin, July 12. Hosted by the Valley Springs Motorcycle Club and only 45 minutes from the Millville Pro Motocross race the day before, this legendary hill is dubbed "500 Feet of Mean," as it mixes styles from traditional East Coast and West Coast rac - ing, blending smooth and rough terrains, making it a tough hill for the racers to conquer and an en- tertaining hill for the spectators. For a second weekend in a row, the French motoclimb athletes competed in the series, as they stayed over from the previous round last weekend in the Midwest at the Brick Mine Motoclimb. The Pro Mod kicked off the day with a rough line on the left side of the hill, featuring steep walls and natural features that represented a West Coast hill. In this class, the bikes are a mix of agility and speed, allowing 450-700cc bikes that can have modified swingarm length, tire types, and exotic fuel. Bodee O'Neil was the first rider up and over, setting a 22.040-second ride. That ride held the entire 30-rider class until Nathan Prebe set a smoking-fast 21.101-sec - ond ride aboard his friend Steve Cain's Husqvarna FC490. That time held until the end of the class, with Prebe taking the top step. O'Neil was in second, and points leader Tristan Alexander finished in third. The next class was the Pro Stock class, featuring 250cc- 450cc bikes of all types, as long as they were stock length. This class evens the playing field, and the hill becomes more challenging without swingarm WIND IN THE P60 Tristan Alexander secured the 2025 AMA Motoclimb Championship at the Dairyland Motoclimb final round in Wisconsin.
