The 2017 AMA Endurocross championship heads to the Ford Idaho Centre in Nampa, west of the city of Boise, for the sixth and penultimate round of the series.

FMF KTM Factory rider, Cody Webb will come into the Boise event as favourite, but anything can happen in EnduroCross. Colton Haaker, the defending EnduroCross champion, is still suffering from injury and is not expected to participate but there is a long list of riders eager to challenge Webb.

Twenty-year-old Trystan Hart has stepped up this season and earned three podiums in five events. The Canadian challenged Webb at the most recent round in Scottsdale and wants to earn his first win.

Kyle Redmond has earned several podiums over the years and he too, is looking for a win. Ty Tremaine, the three-time Junior EnduroCross champion, still only twenty-one years old, finished third in the championship in 2017 and looks poised to challenge Webb as well.

GasGas backed Noah Kepple, another twenty-one-year-old, also shows amazing skills that could earn him a top spot. Cooper Abbott, son of off-road motorcycle racing legend Destry Abbott, is quickly becoming one of the stars of EnduroCross.

There will certainly be plenty of action in the pro class as well as the other classes, Amateur, Vet, Women and TrialsCross.

The Boise EnduroCross will also include one of the Friday night Destry Abbott, DA8 training sessions on the track. The two-hour EnduroCross training session is very hands on with several of the top pro riders assisting Destry in providing instruction on how to tackle the obstacles.

The session is open to all riders (even those not competing at the Boise event). For the $100 entry fee, you will learn how to tackle the difficult obstacles found on tough trails and EnduroCross tracks. This will be limited to the first 20 entries so sign up quickly to hold your spot.

EnduroCross includes a class for everyone with the Amateur, Vet, TrialsCross, Women’s and Super EnduroCross (Pro) classes. And for 2017, there is an Amateur B Main, which allows more riders to make it into the night show. If you want to give it a shot yourself, now is the time to sign up.
