With a packed field and some of the best riders in the world competing, Geoff Aaron rode his Christini AWD to a 3rd place finish at this years finals in Las Vegas.  Wally Palmer put on another great showing and almost made the main after battling for 1st and 2nd positions in the qualifying races.  

Geoff finished 4th overall in the points standings just behind factory KTM rider Taddy Blazusiak.  Although Wally didn't make the main, he was rewarded for his efforts throughout the series with the Spirit Award for the most exiting rider of the EnduroCross series

Kawasaki’s Ricky Dietrich wrapped up the 2008 AMA/Maxxis EnduroCross Championship Series finishing second to his teammate, Damon Huffman.  Huffman lead the main event from the start and rode a flawless race in front of the sold out Orleans arena.  Dietrich battled hard with Red Bull KTM’s Blazusiak in the early laps before opening up a safe lead to wrap up the Championship.  Blazusiak struggled with the tough EnduroCross track and eventually gave up the final podium position to Geoff Aaron, riding his Christini All Wheel Drive KTM.  Blazusiak held onto fourth position, just ahead of Canadian KTM rider, Bobby Prochnau and World Enduro Champion, Mika Ahola from Italy.  Patrick Smage, Destry Abbot, Kyle Calderini, Kyle Redmond and Mike Brown finished from sixth to eleventh.  The expert class was packed with talent and it was difficult to just make the main event.  Former World Motocross Champion Sebastian Tortelli, Ty Davis, Kurt Caselli, Jamie Lanza, Jason Raines, Wally Palmer and Nathan Kanney were among the top riders that did not qualify for the main event.

Christini had an incredible showing during this years series and proved that All Wheel Drive can not only compete, but finish ahead of most of the factory riders!  Christini would like to thank Geoff and Wally for a great year and look forward to the 2009 EnduroCross series!
