Born with a need for speed! Hailing from Newport, North Carolina, Cooper Webb from a young age followed in the tire tracks of his father Robert, a professional surfer who raced motocross in the 1970s. Young Webb hit the gas early – competing in his first race at age 4 and claiming his first amateur championship at 6 on a Yamaha PW50.
Fast-forward to today, and Webb is a six-time SX/MX Champion who’s rewritten the record books. His 2019 breakout season remains legendary in the sport – seven main event wins and his first 450SX title in a comeback for the ages. But Webb wasn't done making history: In 2024, he added King of Paris Supercross to his resume, and his 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross championship was pure domination with victories in Detroit, Arlington, Indianapolis, Seattle, and Pittsburgh.
The secret to success? Racing is Webb’s fountain of youth – at 29 years and 6 months, he became the oldest racer ever to win the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship in 2025. Living proof that age is just a number when you’re going too fast to slow down!
