n a winner-take-all showdown that
will be remembered as one of, if
not the closest, finales in Enduro-
Cross history, Triumph Factory Rac-
ing rider Jonny Walker secured both
the win at round six and the 2025
Slavens AMA EnduroCross Cham
-
pionship at the Angel of the Winds
Arena in Everett, Washington. Walker
and defending champion Trystan
Hart finished the season tied at 141
points each, but Walker's record of
moto wins, 10 to Hart's seven, gave
him the championship through a tie
-
breaker, marking Triumph Racing's
first major off-road title and Walker's
second AMA EnduroCross crown.
Hart's three-point advantage
(119–116) going into the final meant
he needed only to finish ahead of
Walker to claim his third consecutive
championship. But Walker, riding
with the momentum of his domi
-
nant Reno sweep one week earlier,
refused to let the championship
slip away. His 1-1-2 performance
secured the overall victory and, more
importantly, forced the points tie
that gave him the championship.
Hart's 2-3-1 scorecard earned him
second overall on the night, but it
couldn't prevent Walker from claim
-
ing the crown. The defending cham-
pion's final moto victory demonstrat-
ed his championship heart, but the
damage from his third-place finish in
moto two proved insurmountable.
The night began disastrously
for Walker. Seeking to complete
a perfect season in the hot-lap
qualifying with his sixth consecutive
fastest time, the Triumph rider's 450
stalled on his qualifying run. The
