WEBB WRANGLES REVLIMITER EXTREME RACE C ody Webb put on a riding clinic at the Kenda RevLimit- er Extreme Enduro near Decatur, Texas this weekend, the opening round of the AMA Extreme Off- road State Championship Series. Riders from all over the country, Canada, Mexico and even David Knight from the Isle of Man showed up to take on Mother Nature at her best—er… worst. In the end, Webb turned in a perfect moto score, the FMF KTM Off-road rider going 1-1-1 on his all-new KTM 250 XC-W TPI (fuel-injected two-stroke), to claim the overall win over SRT Racing Husqvarna's Cory Graf- funder and last year's winner, Beta USA's Jordan Ashburn. Despite knocking a hole in his clutch case, GasGas factory rid- er David Knight finished fourth. No two extreme enduros are exactly alike, and the RevLimiter sets itself apart by running a qualifying Hot Lap on Saturday and then three motos on Sunday. The first two motos trim down the field to 25 riders for the final moto. The three motos are scored equally like the old moto- cross scoring, where the winner gets one point, second gets two points and so on, with the lowest overall score taking the win. The course got tougher with each race, with extreme section being added that had names like Root Canal, Screw U and Jarvis Falls. Webb dominated each race after brief battles with Knight dur- ing the early going. After defeat- ing Graham Jarvis in last year's Tennessee Knockout, Webb has distinguished himself as one of the top extreme racers in the world. Adding the RevLimiter to IN THE WIND P40 FMF KTM Off-road racer Cody Webb was flawless en route to a clean sweep at the RevLimiter Extreme Enduro. PHOTOGRAPHY BY DARRIN CHAPMAN
