Monster Energy Leading Edge Kawasaki´s newest team member, Tyler Villopoto, tells everyone a little about himself as he prepares to make his Canadian debut in the upcoming Monster Energy CMRC Canadian Motocross Nationals.

The Monster Energy Kawasaki team got some discouraging news early in the week prior to the penultimate round of the Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Series, when test results revealed that two-time and current AMA Supercross Champ, Ryan Villopoto, suffered a season-ending knee injury in his awkward fall at the Seattle Supercross. That means the defending AMA National Outdoor Motocross Champion will be forced to forfeit his title outdoors, and miss the remainder of the Supercross Series as well.

Monster Energy Leading Edge Kawasaki’s Kyle Beaton was excited to get back to action after achieving a career best finish at the previous round in San Diego.

Coming off of the success that the Monster Energy contingent experienced a week earlier in New Orleans, Louisiana, the teams and racers were confident heading into Seattle, where Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Dean Wilson headed back into action as the Lites West series resumed after a two-month hiatus in Seattle, and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto and Jake Weimer headed out to do battle in the 450cc class.
