While one of the best starts to a 450SX season of all-time is currently dominating headlines, the future of the sport is continuing to build behind the already established superstars. Through the help of the still somewhat new programs of Supercross Futures and Scouting Moto Combines, we're beginning to see successful transfers from amateur racing to professional racing among riders of all calibers. We caught up with Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GasGas' Ryder DiFrancesco, who is a multi-time winner in these programs, along with Partzilla PRMX Racing's Hunter Yoder and AEO Powersports KTM's Talon Hawkins to hear their perspective on the value of doing these programs before going pro.
