On Friday ahead of the RedBud National round of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship, the second of three SMX Next – Motocross Scouting Moto Combine events took place. The top A and B amateur motocross racers from across the country gathered to gain experience simulating what a Pro Motocross race day is like, with two qualifying sessions and two long motos on pro-caliber tracks, plus media obligations, and learning the process of race days. Landen Gordon scored the overall win via 4-1 moto finishes, Luke Fauser was second overall with 7-2 finishes, and Jesson Turner rounded out the overall podium with 9-3 finishes. Kade Johnson finished 3-21 for 12th overall. Gareth Swanepoel won the Coache’s Cup, having scored the riders with the most points on the weekend. Hear from Gordon, Fauser, Turner, Johnson, and Swanepoel after the race.
