6/1/2023 0 Comments X moto 250![]() Enter the Supercross Futures program and the big spring amateur nationals, including the Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross (RCSX) and the James Stewart Freestone Spring Championship. Cochran is working towards getting as many gate drops under his vest as possible. The transition to big bike is not always a smooth move that guarantee success-immediate or in the long run. And the #66 is turning heads in the process. However, Cochran is determined to hit all qualifying rounds. There are no points standings in the program, as these first four rounds of futures are qualifying rounds for the championship finale at Salt Lake City, Utah, on May 13. The Florida native managed two second place finishes in the first two Supercross Futures main events of this season. Now, Cochran is competing in the Supercross Futures program aboard a 250F as a member of the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna factory amateur racing team.ĭespite still being a B level rider, up on a 250F-although still with limited time on it-Cochran is off to a strong showing to start the 2023 season. He even finished third in the second moto, while racing aboard a Husqvarna TC 125 two-stroke. In 2022, Cochran competed in the RedBud National Scouting Moto Combine event against other top amateur racers. ![]() Strict, pro-like schedules and longer races provide these riders the opportunity to experience what it is like to be a professional rider, from the qualifying sessions to the media obligations to the length of the races (again, on difficult, pro-level tracks).īoth the Supercross Futures and Scouting Moto Combine programs are for B and A level racers alike, with several first-year B level riders going against A level 250F riders.Ĭasey Cochran is one rider making the most out of these amateur-to-pro programs-and he is taking full advantage of being a B class rider competing against older, more experienced 250F riders. But the biggest factor for these programs are the schedules they follow. Monster Energy AMA Supercross has created the Supercross Futures program, and the AMA Pro Motocross Championship now has the MX Sports Scouting Moto Combine program-which both allow riders the opportunity to compete against one another at select professional AMA Supercross and Motocross events. Amateur riders on the cusp of turning pro in AMA Supercross and Motocross now have more opportunities to get first-hand experience on pro-level tracks and a teaser of what life is like in the pro ranks more so than ever before.
