the KJSC will showcase the talent of boys and girls at select
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, races in
2013. The KJSC not only gives boys and girls the opportunity to
compete on the same track as their heroes, it promotes motorcycling

able to participate in the rider track walk and be acknowledged
during opening ceremonies.
"We are excited to have the KTM Junior Supercross Challenge (KJSC)
back as a part of the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross season," Todd
Jendro, vice president of two wheel operations, Feld Motor Sports.
"The program provides an exciting and entertaining element for our
supercross audience, but more importantly, the KJSC provides a
great opportunity for the youth of the sport to showcase their
talent and gives us a glimpse into the next generation of
supercross superstars. The KJSC program has been a springboard for
notable factory standouts such as Ryan Dungey,
Mike Alessi
and Eli Tomac to
name a few. We are proud to work with KTM on continuing to promote
this positive representation of our sport."
Interested applicants must be 7-8 years old and meet the full
