Jessica Patterson

Motocross

A seasoned vet, Jessica is the most accomplished female rider on the XG roster and holds a record 5 titles on the AMA/WMX tour (2000, 2004-2007). She was arguably the fastest rider at XG in '08 and '09, but ill-timed mistakes have kept her from gold medals and more titles. Last year, Patterson led XG until the last lap when rival Ashley Fiolek made a dramatic pass for the win. Patterson is retaining last year's fitness program -- she lost more than 20 pounds before the '09 tour -- and has a potent new factory Yamaha. She hopes that combo finally delivers XG gold.
