FIM SUPERENDURO WORLD CHAMPION, AMA ENDUROCROSS CHAMPION COLTON HAAKER
become bigger and different
and greater and it might not have
anything to do with motorcycles
at some point, either. But I just
think that's what life is all about.
Evolving and just experiencing
as much as you can, right?"
So what's next on the goal
list for the extreme enduro
champ-turned entrepreneur?
Lots of racing as the new FIM
SuperEnduro World Champion-
ship gets started, along with
preparing for Winter X Games
and King of the Motos.
"Right after Christmas I leave
for Germany for superenduro.
That's on [January] 7th. Then
right after I get back from that,
we have two weeks until Winter
X Games, so I'll just be on the
Timbersled the next two weeks
for that," Haaker said. "Then
the next weekend after Winter
X is King of the Motos. Then
I think the weekend after that
is the next superenduro. It's a
lot! [laughs] And it's all differ-
ent bikes, too. It's a 450 snow
bike, an endurocross bike, it's
an extreme enduro two-stroke
300—there's a lot going on."
It's going to be a busy year for
Haaker, and he has a task ahead
of him to top 2016. But he is
ready to "Create Rad Shit" in the
pursuit of an even better year.
"It's going to be hard to top
[2016]," Haaker said. "At this point
I hope it's not the very top of my
career. I have a lot going on, but
I'm just striving to keep the ball
rolling and make everything bet-
ter. Just keep it going." CN
