Demuth In for Guthrie EnduroCross
The multi-time AMA Arenacross champ said he’d been considering riding an AMA EnduroCross for a while now, and was convinced to show up for Guthrie after seeing what went down in Vegas a few weeks ago with the epic finish between KTM’s Taddy Blazusiak and Monster/Kawasaki’s Ricky Dietrich. “I’m really looking forward to this,” said Demuth. “Not really sure what to expect with results, but I know I’m going to have a blast.”
The 6’-1” Demuth will definitely enjoy a leverage advantage on the GEICO EnduroCross course. His jumping skills are no doubt paramount, given his two AMA and one BooKoo Arenacross titles. What remains to be seen are his rock-riding skills and whether or not he can handle some of the crazy log crossing obstacles, such as something like the Orleans ’ (Vegas) log “Matrix.”
“It’s always fun to see a big name guy come into GEICO EnduroCross for the first time and get totally humbled,” said Source Interlink Media’s Mike Karsting. “All the riding skills in the world aren’t going to help you much if you’re stuck in the E3 Spark Plugs’ Boulder Junction or underneath your bike on top of Maxxis’ Rocky Mountain . What Josh needs to apply are the skills to keep him out of trouble, keeping in mind sometimes the fastest guy ends up the ‘last guy’ when he makes one small mistake in GEICO EnduroCross.”
Leading Demuth into battle will be Vegas winner, Blazusiak, his KTM-mounted teammate Mike Brown, and the Monster/Kawasaki trio of Dietrich, Destry Abbott and Damon Huffman.
