On The Pegs
OFFROAD PIONEER
GEOFF
AARON
At 46 years of age, Geoff Aaron has
witnessed a lot of change in motorcycle racing over
the course of three decades of competition. He’s also
found a way to survive in an industry that is sometimes
not very kind to its biggest stars. He’s excelled at two
different genres of motorcycle racing (Trials and Endu-
roCross) and made a good living at both. In fact, Geoff
was one of the pioneers of the sport of EnduroCross
and one of its first stars. He’s also known all over the
world for his spectacular riding exhibitions and he’s
reached fans around the globe with his extreme riding
DVDs.
Geoff is starting his third year as Promotions Manager
with GasGas North America. We checked in on the 10-
time US National Trials Champion last summer at the
Donner TrialGP, and this is what we came away with.
