AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) champion Ryan Villopoto is recognized as one of the greatest supercross stars in the sport’s history. Villopoto’s rise to prominence was instantaneous. Emerging as a rookie, he won not one, not two, but three consecutive AMA championships. His dominance during this infamous three-peat run from 2006 to 2008 is proof that his talent is nearly unmatched. The only thing more impressive than his initial three-time championship stretch is his following four-time Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship run from 2011 to 2014. Beyond his accomplishments, Villopoto remains a coach and mentor to rising AMA competitors, ushering in the next generation of supercross and motocross stars.
