Ryan Villopoto is one of the most exciting and competitive riders on the Monster Energy Supercross tour today.  Ryan, or RV, as he is commonly known, demonstrated his dominance soon after turning pro by winning AMA Motocross (MX) Lites titles in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the 2007 Supercross (SX) Lites West championship.

As the 2011 season unfolds, Ryan has served notice that he continues to be a force to be reckoned with. He already has two wins and has been on the podium in four out of the first five races.  He rides for the Monster Energy/Kawasaki Race team and is a sure bet to challenge for this year’s SX Championship.

Falken Tire not only has become the Official Truck Tire of the Monster Energy Supercross Series for 2011 but, owing to Ryan’s many accomplishments on and off the track, and to his tough, competitive nature, has signed on to sponsor Villopoto throughout this season. He will be featured in Falken’s new television commercial scheduled to air during each race event televised by CBS.
