Jax Radmall - Denver SX
Under the lights at Empower Field at Mile High, the smallest gate of the night might’ve carried the biggest nerves.
The crowd had settled into that mid-program lull, but down on the line, there was nothing calm about it. Tiny bikes. Full stadium. Engines—well, motors—quiet compared to the pros, but the tension? Just as loud. When the gate dropped, Jax Radmall didn’t hesitate. Perfect reaction. Clean drive. Straight to the holeshot. While the rest of the pack bunched up behind him, handlebars twitching and lines crossing, Jax was already gone—smooth, composed, like he’d done it a hundred times before. No panic. No overcorrections. Just rhythm. Denver’s dirt wasn’t making it easy either. The thin air, the soft sections, the ruts forming quicker than expected—it didn’t matter. Every lap, Jax clicked them off like checkpoints. Over the tabletops, through the turns, keeping just enough speed and just enough control. Behind him, chaos tried to build. But it never quite reached him. Then came the final lap. The kind where everything tightens up just a little. Where even with a lead, your mind starts racing faster than the bike.
Coming into the last corner—a sand section that had been chewing riders up all race—Jax got slightly out of shape. The front end DUG, causing him to tip over. The crowd reacted instantly. But Jax didn’t fold. He got up fast, got on the gas even harder digging his rear wheel into the sand, For a split second, it looked like Denver might steal it from him right at the end. He straightened it out, used those legs, and drove out of the sand with enough cushion left. From there, it was his. Across the finish line, no drama—just the result he’d been building since the gate dropped.
Start to finish. Holeshot to checkered.
And while the pros would take the spotlight later in the night, for a few laps in Denver, it was a kid on an e-bike who put on one of the cleanest runs of the entire event, qualifying him for the last round in Salt Lake City on May 9th, 2026.
The First Three
Not clean. Not linear. Not predictable.
For Jace Hinrichs, it started with silence—first after hip surgery, then again after a severe concussion that forced everything to stop. Bikes parked. Routine broken. The kind of pause that doesn’t feel like rest, but more like being stuck on the outside of the sport you live for. But motocross doesn’t really leave you alone for long. Two months ago, he got back on a bike.
At first, it wasn’t about speed. It wasn’t about lap times or training blocks or anything that looked like race prep. It was just rebuilding what the injuries took away—comfort in movement, timing in corners, trust in the body again. Days stacked quietly. One ride turned into another. Small progress that didn’t feel small at all.
And then the work started to shift.
As the first rounds of the season approached, the focus sharpened. Strength came back in layers. Fitness followed. The hesitation that comes after a crash started to fade, replaced slowly by something more familiar—intent. Now, with the opening round at Fox Raceway looming, the goal isn’t just to show up. It’s to line up ready. The first three rounds of the Pro Motocross season aren’t forgiving. They expose fitness gaps, timing rust, and anything that isn’t fully rebuilt. But that’s also where returns are proven—where riders find out if the work actually held up under pressure. For Hinrichs, it’s not about chasing where he was before the injuries.
It’s about finding out what he’s capable of after them.
And the answer is about to come fast.
