IN THE WIND P22 HAHN INJURED I t was a nightmare debut for Wil Hahn who was set to compete in his first race as a member of the Monster Energy Kawasaki factory race team at Anaheim I, January 3. In the first timed practice session, Hahn, the 2013 250 East Supercross Champion, lost control of his bike and was thrown violently onto the face of a jump and suffered mul- tiple injuries. Hahn was immediately taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery. According to the team, he sustained injuries to his arm (broken hu- murous) and back, the same areas that he injured last year that also put him out of racing prematurely. Hahn will have to sit out the rest of the Supercross season, but the team said that he is in good spirits and is expected to make a full recovery. AARON JOINS GAS GAS T en-time AMA National Tri- als Champion Geoff Aaron has signed with Gas Gas Motos North America to race the GEI- CO EnduroCross Series in 2015. In addition to racing, Aaron's company Extreme Riding Enter- tainment Inc. (ERE) has signed on to manage promotions for the Gas Gas brand on the west coast. ERE will also operate the EnduroCross racing team and continue to promote the popular Red Bull Trials shows with Gas Gas machinery. "I'm excited to help Gas Gas get the exposure it deserves," said Aaron. "I've won cham- pionships with this brand and the bikes are world caliber. The EC300 and TXT300 are both very capable bikes." "We are very pleased to have Geoff on board with Gas Gas Motos North America," said Gas Gas' Mark Berg. "He has experi- ence with the brand and interacts well with fans and the press. We wish him great success in 2015" Wil Hahn suffered injuries at the Anaheim I Supercross that will keep him off the bike indefinitely.
