Viral Brand Elite Riders Shine in Last Weekend's Triple Crown and Enduro Events
Last weekend, the race tracks and enduro trails were ablaze with action, with Viral Elite Riders showcasing their skills and determination across several high-profile events. The spotlight was especially bright at the final round of the Triple Crown series in Canada and the 2024 Enduro Engineering Grassman National Enduro in the United States.
Triple Crown Triumphs
In Canada, Team PRMX, powered by the resilience and skill of its riders and the unmatched clarity provided by Viral Goggles, made significant strides. Gage Linville, a standout performer throughout the series, clinched 3rd overall after a grueling eight rounds and 16 motos, including a spectacular 1-1 moto sweep at Round 6. His performance at the final round in Walton solidified his podium finish, making us immensely proud of his achievements this season.
Dylan Rempel, in his rookie season, displayed impressive growth and skill, securing a Top 10 overall finish in the series—an extraordinary feat considering he missed the opening round. His ninth-place finish points towards a promising future in the sport.
In the 450 Class, despite challenges such as injuries and mechanical issues, our riders remained competitive. Mitchel Harrison started strong but had to withdraw due to injury. Aaron Tanti battled through, finishing just shy of the podium in 4th place overall in his debut season in Canada. His near-podium finish underscored the potential for even greater success next season.
Enduro Excellence
Moving to the trails of the National Enduro series, RockStar Factory Husqvarna Racing's Trevor Bollinger made headlines by securing his first podium of the year, finishing 3rd overall at the Grassman National Enduro. Despite battling injuries throughout the season, Trevor's performance was a testament to his resilience and the superior protection and visibility provided by Viral Goggles. "The Goggles were awesome all day," Trevor remarked after the event, highlighting the critical role they played in his success.
