TY TREMAINE

Bike: Beta 300 RR Race Edition

"I was a bit nervous coming into the weekend with absolutely no time at all on a Beta. After the first practice I felt right at home on the bike, and with the team, and I knew that I would be able to adapt to the Beta 300 fast. We made a few small changes and ended up qualifying 3rd into the night show. The night show was flawless and we were able to put Beta on the podium. From here, we can only test and make things better and better, so I believe the future will be very bright for myself and the team!"

MASON OTTERSBERG

Bike: Beta 390 RR Race Edition

"I went into round 4 with a new attitude and full of excitement. With my two week break from EnduroCross, I spent a lot of time riding in the desert and racing other events to do something new. I had a great day in practice finishing 7th in hot laps. Going into the night I finished the heats with a 5th place after some battling and carnage. In the main event; I finished 9th after running 6th for the last half of the race until a joker lane mistake cost me three positions. I'm happy with my riding, I finally felt like I got back what I have been missing all season and I know I'm capable of much more. Thanks to my team for all of the support and I want to congratulate Ty Tremaine for becoming our newest teammate. Really looking forward to having him on our team!"

MORGAN TANKE

Bike: Beta 250 RR Race Edition

"After missing a round due to a fractured ankle I was excited to get back to racing in Denver. I had gotten my cast removed last Monday and decided to race on Saturday. I got a really good start from the far outside gate and had a good first lap. I made a mistake in the rock section which forced me to put my bad foot down, after that I was in a lot of pain that I couldn't quite recover from. I'm glad I was able to salvage a finish and get my Beta out on the track. I'm hoping for better luck in Washington this weekend. I can't thank the whole Beta team enough for sticking behind me during this injury!"

MAX GERSTON

Bike: Beta 390 RR Race Edition

"The Donner Hare Scramble didn't go super well. I was running a solid third through the silt beds. My bike had sucked in some dirt and was running poorly but it was still working. On the last lap it stalled out and I couldn't get it going again. Unfortunately we didn't win or get the title, but we put forward our best effort. Huge thanks to my team for a hard fought season."

Max Gerston wins round 1 of the 2018 AMA West Hare Scramble Championship!

Beta Factory rider Max Gerston is determined to show that winning the west Hare Scramble Series in 2017 was not a fluke. Gerston took 1st place last weekend at Rancho Cordova, California in round 1 of the series, putting him in the lead early for this year. The conditions were perfect at last weekend's WHS race, and Gerston won with talent and a drive to win.

Round 2 of the West Hare Scramble Series will take place in Prescott Arizona on February 17th and 18th.

Max Gerston: "I'm super stoked to get the win at the first round of the WHS series. My Beta 390 suited the slippery course perfectly. I rode a gear high the whole race and had some good battles. The last lap my rear brake went out so at that point I was relying on the engine braking to slow me down on the slick cobble trails.I'm thrilled with my bike and team and look forward to the next one!"

Jordan Ashburn raced the Kenda RevLimiter Extreme last weekend near Decatur Texas. The attendance was high at the event but temperatures were nearly freezing. Ashburn, who won the race last year, finished in 3rd place overall for the weekend aboard his Beta 300 RR 2-Stroke.

Jordan Ashburn: "With frigid temperatures on Sunday morning, we started on a semi frozen track. I was able to start off with a close 3rd place in moto one. I lost second place right before the finish by getting stuck in a big rock hole just before the finish. I managed to come away with a 2nd place in moto 2. The last race was very slow and technical. I got a bad start and had to push myself through a grueling 45min of catch-up and never was able to catch 3rd place. I ended the day with a 3-2-4 which earned me a 3rd overall."
