JASON ANDERSON
People where talking about Jason Anderson becoming the next big thing all the way back in 2007, while Jason was making the transition from his 85cc machines to the big bike classes in the amateur scene. Anderson used his aggressive riding style and ability to secure championships and gain the interest of the factory teams. The Rockstar Husqvarna team formerly known as the Rockstar KTM team, and before that it was the Rockstar Suzuki team, that snagged Anderson up
as he made his move to the professional ranks. El Hombre did not have the conditioning as the other riders and his team manager Bobby Hewitt even told Anderson to take some time off and to get himself into better shape. Hewitt and the Rockstar team stood behind Jason through all of his career and he returned the favourite with a 250 SX Title in 2014. After such a successful year on KTM the team was forced to move to Husqvarna motorcycles and the team hired Anderson to lead as he made the move to the 450 class. Jason has made huge improvements each year and he is continuing to progress. Since moving up to the premier class the #21 rider has surrounded himself with the best in the business, riding partners with current supercross champion Ryan Dungey and former world champion Marvin Musquin at the Bakers Farm, which is owned by arguably the best motocross trainer in the world Aldon Baker.
