Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Amateur Factory Elite team prospect Landon Gibson will line up for his first professional Pro Motocross Championship start at Unadilla this Saturday, followed by a second scheduled appearance at Budds Creek for next weekend’s outdoor finale.
It is a unique opportunity for the 16-year-old to gain invaluable National experience in the pro ranks, joining Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing 450MX teammates RJ Hampshire and Malcolm Stewart for Rounds 10 and 11 of season 2025.
Gibson has enjoyed a successful year of amateur competition to date, including a P2 result in last weekend’s SMX Next – Motocross Combine at Ironman Raceway, where he won Moto 2 onboard his Husqvarna FC 250 Factory Edition. The highly-rated teenager out of Peachtree City, GA, will continue 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.
