Geoff Aaron Back For Sacramento EnduroCross
Shoulder injury kept him out of the Las Vegas opener
GEICO Honda backed Geoff Aaron has missed very few EnduroCross
events since the first one was held in Las Vegas in 2004. He has a
couple of main event wins, countless podium finishes and was the
series runner up in 2009 and 2010. So it was very disappointing
when a shoulder injury put him on the sidelines for the 2012
opening round. Although he is not back to 100%, he does plan to be
back in action for the Sacramento round of the series coming up
this weekend; Saturday, June 9th inside the Power Balance
Pavilion.
Aaron had this to say about his comeback ride: "Yes, I'm attempting
to ride Sacramento this weekend. I rode for the first time in 6
weeks at the Thunder Valley MX National last weekend doing a Trials
demo for Red Bull. My shoulder injury is still only 75% and is very
painful after I abuse it. My goals for EnduroCross are to make the
main event and not injure myself more. I will try as hard as I can
and see what happens." So just making the main event may be a
challenge for Aaron but you can be sure that the 10 time AMA Trials
Champion will give it his all.
