I first met Ryan Villopoto in 2002 when he was a young competitor in the 85cc class at a motocross championship. Over the years, he became a successful professional racer, winning multiple championships. Despite retiring, he still enjoys being involved in the sport and attending races. He no longer feels the nerves he used to experience on race days and is now focused on enjoying the experience. Being a factory-backed racer comes with a lot of pressure, as everything depends on the rider’s performance. However, Villopoto believes that in motocross, it’s not just about having the best equipment, as skill and strategy play a significant role.
