The final round of the GEICO EnduroCross Series is in the books and FMF KTM’s Cody Webb walks away with the Championship for the second year in a row. Rockstar Husqvarna’s Colton Haaker wasn’t far behind, though, and they battled till the very end. Here’s some action from the floor of the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.

Even when the pros landed the “double” properly it was a hard hit. Here Mike Brown is testing his bib mousses.Photo by Sean Klinger

Brownie leads the pack in his heat race, but it wasn’t his night…Photo by Sean Klinger
He came up short trying to jump into the water pit and dislocated his wrist. We are glad it wasn’t worse because it was a violent impact.Photo by Sean Klinger
With a good mix of smooth riding and aggression Webb was consistent all night.Photo by Sean Klinger

Trials Champion Geoff Aaron finished sixth in the main event. Although he wasn’t jumping any of the “doubles” on the track, it was cool to watch his impeccable technique gain him speed and prove that there is more than one way to go fast around an EnduroCross track.Photo by Sean Klinger
Taylor Robert was the first to cross the finish line and ended up fifth in the championship points.Photo by Sean Klinger

The boulder section was deceivingly tricky. Some lines were easy while just to the right or left was a hole that grabbed a wheel and threw riders to the ground.Photo by Sean Klinger

Webb finally had some breathing room in second place, which was good enough to seal the championship.Photo by Sean Klinger
Good job, Cody! We can’t wait till next year.Photo by Sean Klinger
