RYDER DIFRANCESCO
The number 199 is well known in the realm of the motocross world, as one of the greats, Travis Pastrana, branded the digit with an aura that’s extremely hard to rival. Not just anyone can hold the honor that those specific numerals possess; it takes someone who’s fearless, full of courage, and
radiating with tenacity. Enter Ryder DiFrancesco. The Kawasaki Team Green rider has been a head turner since the day he chose to compete across the motocross landscape, and is accumulating more attention with each passing event. Generating sponsorships with companies such as Jimmy John’s and Kevin Harvick’s marketing association, he’s blazing a trail that’s unbeknownst to anyone else of his age. He’s shortening the gap between the status of amateur and professional, and rightfully so. The fun loving, always smiling California kid is worthy of everything he’s worked for, and looks well on his way to a future full of success.
