Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Amateur Factory Elite team prospect Landon Gibson will make his pro debut this weekend at round 10 of the Pro Motocross Championship at Unadilla.
The 16-year-old has been contesting the SMX Next Supercross and Motocross events in 2025, in addition to the major amateur events across the country. The highly-rated teenager out of Peachtree City, GA, most recently won the second moto at the Ironman SMX Next event last Friday.
Per the team, Gordon will race this weekend and the finale at Budds Creek but will be competing as an amateur through the 2026 season.
“Man, this has been a lifelong dream of mine to line up for my first pro race,” commented Gibson. “I couldn’t be more excited to be doing it under the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna tent and thankful for my team giving me the opportunity. My dreams have come true, and I am ready to go bang bars!”
Following the next two rounds, Gibson Gibson will continue his SMX Next journey during the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) Playoffs, including the ‘World All-Stars’ events in Charlotte and St. Louis during September.
“I’m excited to have Landon Gibson join the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team under the tent this weekend and next,” said Nathan Ramsey, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team manager. “Landon is a youthful rider with a great opportunity to showcase his talent in the pro ranks, and this experience will give him a solid gauge of where he stacks up in the 250 class.
“He’s proven himself throughout the year in amateur racing, and we’re confident this next step will help him grow even more. What he learns over the next two weeks will be valuable as he heads into the SMX Next World All-Stars. We’re looking forward to seeing him out on the track.”
This is great news for everyone involved! What number will he run?
