Ryan Villopoto has been touted as the next big thing in motocross racing, and in 2007 he lived up to the hype, claiming the AMA West Supercross Championship with a near-perfect season. His motocross season was just as dominant, as Villopoto was crowned the 2007 AMA Motocross Lites Champion for the second straight year. In 2008, he returns to the Lites rankings as he looks to add to his growing collection of number one plates.
History

2007
Villopoto started the season with a dominating performance in the AMA West Supercross Lites Series, where he won seven of the eight races. He carried his momentum into motocross, winning his second-straight AMA Motocross Lites Championship. To cap off a perfect season, Villopoto became the first rider in history to win the overalls in both motos on KX250F against larger displacement bikes at the Motocross of Nations.

2006
Villopoto began his professional career in the AMA West Supercross Lites Series at Angel Stadium for Anaheim I, where he finished second-place overall.  He won his first race later in the season at Texas Stadium in Dallas and ended the Supercross Lites season third overall. Then Ryan headed to the AMA Motocross Lites Series with a little more experience stemming from his amateur days. With eight podium finishes and six first-place finishes, Villopoto proved to be unstoppable during his rookie season and became the AMA Motocross Lites Champion.  That momentum was carried over into the post-season where Villopoto was selected="true"="true"="true"="true"="true" as a member of Team USA at the Motocross of Nations in England, and helped Team USA claim first place.  Ryan was also named the 2006 AMA Supercross/Motocross Rookie of the Year.

He competed in his first professional Motocross race at Binghamton’s Broome-Tioga Sports Center where he placed 15th overall. He finished up the remainder of his rookie season taking fifth overall at Steel City Raceway and second overall at Glen Helen Raceway.
