As the 2023 AMA Pro Motocross Championship approached its finale, a new face from across the Atlantic started making waves and turning heads. Sporting #953 on his privateer BBL Racing Yamaha, Harri Kullas journeyed to America to race the final three rounds of the series. The 31-year-old 450 rider came prepared to complete a singular mission—to leave a lasting impression. Although the Estonian has already proven himself to be an accomplished professional overseas, it’s always been Harri’s dream to race full-time in America. Thanks to a fortuitous gap in the ACU British Motocross Championship schedule, and the unwavering support of his sponsors, friends, and family, Harri’s dream has begun manifesting into reality.
