Big Bike Weekend Concludes Mammoth Motocross

The 2024 running of the Mammoth Motocross ran its course over the June 28-30 weekend, with the big bikes hitting the mountainside course. A supercross-style format meant riders qualified for their main events through a heat race and a last-chance qualifier (if required). The one-moto main events decided who would get to take home the coveted bear trophies.

The Open Pro Sport race saw an all-out dogfight between two supercross racers turned off-roaders, as Justin Hoeft and Cole Martinez duked it out for the win. Martinez, who swept the 30 Pro division the previous week, led the first seven laps with Hoeft hot on his heels. The Yamaha rider, Hoeft, set the fastest lap of the race with three to go and moved around Martinez at the bottom of Mammoth’s infamous hill to take over the top spot. Hoeft claimed the win by just over one second in what was one of the most exciting races of the weekend.

Hoeft again went on to win the Two-Stroke Open class, barely beating Derek Drake to the line by less than a second. Drake took second on a custom-built Suzuki RM250, while Dustyn Davis, Ty Davis’ son, finished third.

Robbie Wageman took top honors in the 450cc Pro main event as he led every lap of the 10-lap race. The Yamaha rider, who is on a supercross-only deal, beat out Martinez, who rode a solid second ahead of SLR Honda teammate Parker Ross. Ross started outside the top five but put in a hard-fought effort for the final spot on the box.

Ross then rebounded for the win in the 250 Pro class as he convincingly led every lap of the moto, adding yet another bear to his collection for the week. CJ Benard and Wyatt Mattson traded spots during the race, with Benard taking second and Mattson third.

Martinez was also the King of the Vets as he took another win in the 25+ Open division. The Honda rider won by a double-digit margin over two other former pros, Ryan Villopoto and Chris Gosselaar. CN

Martinez added two more bear trophies to his collection in the process. Drew Gosselaar and Sean Lipanovich rounded out the podium on day one, going 2-2 and 3-3, respectively.

Day two saw Matas Inda take second overall with a pair of thirds, while Lipanovich landed third again with 4-2 finishes.
