A few months ago, Raycin Kyler made headlines when she was selected to represent Team USA at the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship in Romagné — a historic first for a young girl. Surrounded by her coach and family, the Cobra rider proved she fully deserved her spot on the international stage, despite challenging conditions. Kyler showed remarkable resilience and determination, especially after falling ill shortly after arriving in Europe. We followed her closely throughout that unforgettable weekend in a vlog.
Since returning home, Raycin has been preparing for Loretta Lynn’s with her coach, Eric Sorby. This week at the Ranch, she made history once again by becoming the first girl ever to win the national title in the 65cc (9–11) Limited class. After entering the final moto already on the podium, her second-place finish in the last race secured her the overall championship win.
Congratulations, Raycin!
Let’s also highlight another standout performance — Yumena Berning. Just minutes before Raycin’s final race, the young KTM rider came incredibly close to a national title of her own, finishing runner-up in the 65cc (7–9) Limited class. Yumena was the first girl to stand on a podium in a race with the boys. She is without a doubt one of the rising stars to keep an eye on in the coming years.
With talents like Raycin Kyler and Yumena Berning, the future of American motocross is looking brighter than ever.
