The group’s leading riders, Long and Oehlhof, are both coming off injuries. In September 2023, Oehlhof suffered a practice crash while training supercross, which led to the second-generation rider breaking both of his ankles. Long, the 2022 AMA Amateur Rider of the Year, suffered a torn ACL in his knee at the THOR Mini O’s in November. He declared the 250 and 450 Pro Sport supercross # 1 plates, then suffered his knee injury. Long raced through the injury to make the 250 A motocross title then needed to avoid the 250 professional sport 2nd moto. Following a couple of months on the sidelines, Long’s very first day back riding was Tuesday.
