Monster Army Mini O’s Wrap Up

Author: Aaron Nixon

The 2015 Mini O’s was a heater for the Monster Army, with our team winning over 11 big bike championships.

The almost robotic Austin Forkner showed up and dominated again cleaning up with 3 SX titles and 3 outdoor titles.

Newly found team mates Bradley Taft and Broc Papi showed up running their new Horton Race Team bikes. Both of these guys had stand out rides all week and Taft seemed to be one of only 2 riders who seemed capable of showing a wheel to Forkner.

Hannah Hodges almost didn’t make the mains due to an elbow injury early in the week, but nothing could stop her grabbing one more trophy before retiring from mini bikes. We’re all very excited to see Hannah ride a 250F in the new year.

Joey CrownTanner Stack and Jordan Bailey were all on hand battling it out on the 250B classes but it was the #82 pro circuit machine of Garrett Marchbanks who took the top step in 3 of the B classes. Impressive results for the young Utah native in his big bike debut.

Solid rides throughout the week for a number of Monster Army riders such as Jordan Jarvis with a title in the girls 12-16 SX class. Ramyller Alves had an awesome 2nd place overall in the 250B class. Devin Xindaris also had a great week with an overall 2nd in the supermini 1 SX class.

Rider of the week goes to Bradley Taft for his tremendous effort.
