HILLSDALE, Mich., (Oct. 10, 2012) – Three young rippers on the Cobra Moto CX65 just made history this past weekend – becoming the first-ever Cobra racers to sweep a major amateur MX National podium on the American-made competition mini cycle, doing so at the Branson USA National MX Championships in Missouri.

California’s Jett Reynolds, New York’s Reed Cooper and Minnesota’s Jayden Clough went 1^st/2^nd/3^rd – respectively – in Branson’s 65cc Jr. Modified 6-8 class, scoring the not only Cobra’s first sweep of a major amateur MX National 65cc class podium, but also the first-ever sweep of a major MX National 65cc class competition by an American-made dirt bike.

“After Pierce Brown won Cobra’s first-ever 65cc title at Loretta’s this summer, about the only thing left for Cobra to accomplish was a podium sweep at a major MX National – and we got that this past week at Branson,” said an elated Sean Hilbert, President of Cobra Moto. “A big ‘CONGRATS’ from everyone at Cobra headquarters here in Michigan to Jett, Reed and Jayden – along with all the other Cobra champions and podium placers at Branson this past week.”

Other Cobra Moto racers putting up big numbers at Branson include: Minnesota’s James Clough, who swept the 50 Pee Week Stock and Modified thru 6 classes, locking down four consecutive 1^st place moto wins; Jett Reynolds, who swept the 50 Pee Wee Modified 7-8 and Super Pee Wee Modified 6-9 classes – and would have won the 50 Pee Wee 7-8 Stock after dominating the first moto, had it not been for second moto mechanical issue; Reed Cooper, who had four 2^nd place moto finishes in the 65 class (to go with three 2^nd place moto finishes on his Cobra King 50) – not bad considering Cooper’s only a seven-year old!
