Motocross racer Hudson Webber first rode a dirt bike at 4 years old. He continued riding, and became a District 23 ARMCA member at 12 years old. He began competing in motocross, and now competes in the 125 and Schoolboy 1 classes. Hudson is proud to be a race winner, and has goals of improving his riding ability and qualifying for the Loretta Lynn’s Amateur Motocross National. Hudson truly loves the sport, the atmosphere, and the friends he’s made along the way. 

On race day, he’s fueled by a hearty breakfast of eggs and bacon, and gets ready to hit the track with his favorite tunes. He also enjoys snowmobiling and hunting, but notes the significance of the lifelong friendships and exciting experiences that motorcycling has given him. Hudson advises other D23 ARMCA members to remember to have fun on the track.
