MITCHELL FALK
All top amateur riders strive to be “the next big thing.” If you are wondering which rider is next on that list, Mitchell Falk takes the torch. Hailing from Costa Mesa, CA Mitchell is on his way to making the motocross dream a reality. Dominating Loretta Lynn’s the past few years in Supermini, Schoolboy, and most recently 250 B, Mitchell is displaying the speed and performance of riders that have gone on to be extremely
successful. Since the sport is growing more and more towards Supercross, teams have switched there attention to riders that are winning, but also have the ability to ride Supercross. For Troy Lee Design KTM, Mitchell Falk is the total package. He proved he can ride Supercross and also withstand the pressure of the audience by winning the Supermini class a couple years back at the 2014 Monster Energy Cup. Not only does he have the resume for the team, but he also fits right in with the image TLD portrays. Its all about style over at Troy Lee Designs. Sick bikes, coolest sponsors, crazy creative gear, and of course the “majestic easy to watch” riding style that the majority of the team riders have. Currently 17 years old, Falk has signed a multi-year deal with the Troy Lee Design’s KTM and will continue with the team into his Professional career.
