Recently Vemar was building a “skunk stripe” VRX9 helmet for a former American ISDT rider and the folks at Motonation thought….”If we can do this for one former ISDT rider why not offer it to all former ISDT or ISDE riders?” After all, buying a plain helmet and getting the famed “skunk stripes” painted on it is both time consuming and expensive and seldom comes out as good as when created by a helmet manufacture directly.

Thus Motonation will offer two and only two production runs of the Vemar VRX9 helmet with the “skunk stripe” paint scheme, images attached.

Orders received via email to skunkstripevrx9@motonation.com by May 1^st 2013 will be delivered this coming September.

Orders received via email to skunkstripevrx9@motonation.com by August 1^st 2013 will be delivered this coming December.

Sizes available are XS thru XXL.

These helmets are only available rider direct as Motonation will verify the “bona fides” of each rider’s order. Only official USA ISDT-ISDE or MX Des Nations riders have earned the right to wear this paint scheme and thus Motonation will only make this special offer directly to these riders. Motonation will verify that each rider is on the AMA’s records of team USA riders before accepting his/her order.

Price per helmet is $425 plus tax and freight. A $250 deposit is required at time of ordering.

Am-Pro Yamaha

Owned and managed by off-road racing legend and seven time AMA Pro Enduro Champion Randy Hawkins, the Am-Pro Yamaha team returns with Paul Whibley as the team’s lead rider aboard the #1 Yamaha YZ450F. Last year, Paul won his second Grand National Cross Country Series (GNCC) Championship in the XC1 class, along with his fifth United Off-Road Racing Association (OMA) National Championship. He’s fit and focused on keeping his string of titles going.

Meanwhile, teammate Jordan Ashburn will be looking to expand on the two podium finishes he earned last year in his rookie season in the XC1 class. Look for Jordan aboard his #9 Yamaha YZ450F, as he’s sure to give Paul and the other GNCC riders all they can handle in 2013.

The third member of Am-Pro Yamaha, and brand-new addition to the team, is Jesse Groemm, who will be competing in the AMA/Rekluse National Enduro Series aboard his #25A Yamaha YZ250, and in GNCC’s XC2 class aboard his #229 YZ250F.

Commenting on his team, Randy Hawkins said, “We’ve got a great mix of wily experience and youthful enthusiasm on the team this year. I know that Paul is laser-focused on defending his titles from talented riders like Jordan and the others in GNCC and OMA, and we’re pleased to have young Jesse on the team and competing for wins, as well.”

Obermeyer Yamaha

Started by Keith Obermeyer, a passionate Yamaha Dealer and racing enthusiast, the team partnered with Am-Pro and burst unto to the scene in 2010 by winning the AMA National Enduro title with Charlie Mullins. In 2012, Obermeyer joined forces with Raines University and under the guidance of Jason Raines, the team continued their winning ways.

Jed Haines will, again, be riding for Obermeyer Yamaha, and he’s keen to defend the AMA Pro Eastern Hare Scrambles Championship that he won last season. In addition, Jed is looking forward to building on the solid podium finishes he earned last year in GNCC’s XC2 class. Look for Jed and his #12 Yamaha YZ250F up front all season long.

Jed’s teammate Brad Bakken will be focusing his efforts on the AMA/Rekluse National Enduro Series and GNNC Series plus being super-motivated to win the local Virginia State Hare Scrambles Championship Series. Brad will compete exclusively aboard his #19 Yamaha YZ250F.

We are very excited to continue our association with the Am-Pro Yamaha team, Jason Raines and our sponsors to further develop young riders to achieve their racing goals while promoting the Yamaha brand! This association has had a positive impact to our Dealership both on and off the track”, said Keith Obermeyer.

The YZ/WR demos will be featured at 75 off-road racing events this year, including select GNCC, AMA National Enduro, regional, and local competitions. The YZ/WR Off-Road Demo Program is led by five-time AMA Pro National Hare Scrambles Champion Jason Raines and, new for 2013, Jason will be joined by AMA Hall of Famer and multi-time off-road champion Ty Davis, who will also be serving as an instructor on all west coast events.
