Carlsbad, CA (May 5th, 2014) – Supercross titles aren’t easy to win. Putting together a winning season takes an incredible amount of discipline, hard work, determination and a bit of luck. For 21 year-old Jason Anderson those things all came together Saturday night in Las Vegas as the New Mexico native clinched his first major professional championship. Standing on the podium with his number one plate Anderson admitted that it didn’t come without it’s challenges. Just ten days before the series finale Anderson crashed during a practice session and injured his ribs and lung. For a time he wasn’t sure he would be able to ride well enough to get the job done at the final round. But when the chips were on the table for the final main event of the season Jason gritted out a finish that kept him on top of the point standings for 2014.
“It’s been an amazing season and I can’t even put in to words how great this feels,” said Anderson of his championship. “I am really lucky to have some amazing people and companies behind me supporting my career. Without all of them in my corner there’s no way I could have made this happen.”
Jason used the Dragon NFXS goggle all season en route to his 250 supercross championship and it isn’t something he takes lightly.
“I don’t take my goggle choice lightly because if I have problems with my vision it doesn’t matter how good my bike is or how well I’m riding. It is one of the most important pieces of protective equipment we wear and I can’t thank Dragon enough for their help. I absolutely love the new NFXS goggle and I’m stoked they’ve been on this wild ride with me the past couple years.”
From the whole family here at Dragon Alliance we want to congratulate Jason on his first title. We know it won’t be the last and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. Great job, champ!
