Maryland’s Justin Rodbell is trying to get back to “Summer of Rodbell” status, from back in 2020 when he became a top 15 regular in the 450 class of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross. After a rough attempt at supercross in ’21, he switched to the Revzilla PRMX Kawasaki team for ’22 and did much better. He raced a few rounds of 250SX West before qualifying for his first-ever 450SX main event at Detroit. Rodbell went on to qualify for another four main events and earned a career-best 16th at the finale at Salt Lake City. At the opening round of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, he remained on the team and just missed scoring points as he went 21-28 on the day, but it seemed like things were moving along smoothly.
So it was surprising to suddenly see Rodbell on a new bike and team Saturday morning at Hangtown. Steve Matthes got the scoop in this interview, part of his FXR Privateer Island Life podcast.
