INTERVIEW
2015 AMA ENDUROCROSS CHAMPION CODY WEBB
P128
laps, which ended up being
the key to the championship.
All in all it was way tougher.
Things didn't seem like they
came to me as easily. I think
the pressure was a little more
and I was trying to push a little
more. I knew if it wasn't my
night, it wasn't my night but
when I was feeling comfort-
able I was able to push and go
for the win. If not, I didn't risk it
and I still got on the podium.
At the season finale in
Ontario, Taylor Robert (win-
ner at Ontario) was jumping
some big gaps on the course
and gaining on you. When he
got behind you, did you just
kind of say, 'Hey, go ahead?'
Yeah. I knew I didn't have to win
the race. Obviously I would have
liked to but I wasn't feeling great
on the track all day. It was a little
jumpy. Somehow I led the race
longer than I was expecting to. I
saw Taylor reeling me in but I knew
at that point I was able to wrap up
[the championship] so I let him do
his thing. But I was the one who
got the championship at the end
so that's what really matters.
Speaking of jumps, it seems
like they've been putting more
jumps and kickers into the
courses this year. Was that
higher than you ever intended
to go?
"TADDY WAS A
MAJOR KEY GUY
AND HE BROUGHT
HIMSELF UP AS
THE KING OF
ENDUROCROSS. IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN A
REALLY INTERESTING
CHAMPIONSHIP IF
HE'D STAYED."
Webb has made
the transition
from trials to
EnduroCross
and extreme off-
roading a fairly
seamless one.
He just keeps
getting better
and better.
