"I was just thinking, 'Keep
pushing forward! Keep push-
ing forward!'" Robert recalled.
"There was definitely some spots
you could pass on, but there
was a good line going all the way
around the track. So I knew if we

Brown who has found his consistency in EnduroCross, but
is looking for a podium breakthrough before the season
is out. "I started out good again, got the holeshot," said
Brown. "I got a good start, made it to the firepit before the
finish and crashed again and just battled my way back up,
back and forth, crashing in the rocks again. The track was
