Factory Beta racer
Cody Webb piloted
his 350 RR to a
solid second place
in the ESPN X
Games Enduro X
competition. For
Webb, this was a
huge step towards
the top as the 24
year old from
Santa Cruz
California rider
now 3rd in points
only 12 back from
the leader.
This year's event
included the
famous "Drop In"
ramp start which
had riders
dropping 50 feet
into the first
corner. Webb
started the night
by dominating his
qualifier and
taking the win by
more than eight
seconds. This
helped boost his
confidence going
into the finals.
In the main event
Webb had an 8th
place start going
into the first
rock turn however
with his mad trial
skills he was able
to pass a few
riders coming out
in 4th place. Webb
then put his head
down making sure
he made no
mistakes and hit
his lines each
lap. He put the
pass on two more
riders and was in
second by the
third lap where he
would stay for the
remainder of the
race.
Webb
explains, "To
get the silver
medal at X
games was an
amazing
experience.
Coming off an
8th place
finish last
year I knew I
had to put in
more work
during the off
season to get
on the podium
and the hard
work seems to
be paying off.
My Beta 350 RR
was set up
perfect and
allowed me to
ride a
mistake-free
race. I would
like to thank
American Beta,
my mechanic
Rob, Alan from
Stillwell
Performance,
as well as all
of my friends
and family for
all of their
support to
help get me to
this level."

Beta squad Max
Gerston failed
to make the main

good speed

likeable Arizona
racer missed out
in the second
qualifier after
running as high
as third place.

Factory team's
