Published October 23, 2025 by , Editor‑in‑Chief

the three motos at the opening round of the 2025 AMA EnduroCross Series in front of a hometown crowd. In the first moto, Gerston made some mistakes that dropped him back to finishing in eleventh. He rebounded from the first moto with a strong performance in the inverted-start second moto, where he finished fourth. Gerston again came out riding strong in the third moto, where he earned a finish of fourth. This consistent string of high placements, particularly in the later motos, landed him fifth overall in the final standings of round one. Three other Beta-mounted riders competed in the EX Pro Class. Tim Apolle finished in ninth, James Flynn took tenth, and Branden Petrie earned eleventh on the night. The next couple of rounds will take place this weekend for the doubleheader in Idaho Falls.

“Prescott Valley Endurocross was a blast. I always enjoy racing in front of a hometown crowd. Moto scores 11-4-4 for 5th overall. After a challenging first moto full of mistakes, I am happy I was able to rebound and get back to where I should be. The second two motos were a big confidence builder for me. The improvements made in the off-season were noticeable on the track and my Beta 300 was nimble and easy to ride all night. I am happy with my riding and excited to get back after it this weekend in Idaho Falls.”
