Report on the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship
Location: Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, Tennessee
Date: August 2025
In a commanding display of skill and resilience at the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship, Enzo Temmerman of Team Green Kawasaki captured both the 250 and Open Pro Sport titles, ultimately securing the prestigious Nicky Hayden AMA Motocross Horizon Award.
Temmerman dominated the competition, securing victories in five of six motos, with his only loss stemming from adverse weather conditions that shorted one race. "Winning five out of six motos and clinching both titles is a perfect way to go out here," Temmerman commented, reflecting on what may be his final appearance at Loretta Lynn’s.
The Californian faced significant challenges, including a crash that split his chin open and required stitches mid-event. However, he showcased his tenacity by coming from behind to win several motos. "I had to fight through adversity," he noted, emphasizing his determination despite the setbacks.
With this achievement, Temmerman becomes the first rider since Jason Anderson in 2010 and Drew Adams in 2024 to earn the Horizon Award in consecutive years for Kawasaki, solidifying the manufacturer’s resurgence in the amateur ranks.
Looking ahead, Temmerman anticipates competing again this weekend at Ironman Raceway and is weighing his options for participation in either the SMX Next – Motocross Scouting Moto Combine or a Pro Motocross national event.
