Andrew Short is finally figuring out how to ride that gnarly factory Honda CRF450R instead of it riding him.
One of the most clean-cut riders in this ragtag band of moto racers, Andrew Short is the type of guy you might find at a Les Schwab tire shop. Clean-cut, hard-working, friendly, fast and provides satisfactory results. That’s why Team Honda picked him to ride one of its coveted factory CRF450R machines.
Short has been in the top-5 in Supercross and outdoors since 2005 when he was still running the 125 division. He did finish second in the ’05 Nationals, but 2008 has been the best year of his career overall. A pair of third-place finishes indicates that he deserves a spot among the elite rectory riders. The best part is that he’s as quick with a kind word and smile as he is with his right wrist.
For 2009, Short finished with a 3rd place in Supercross and second in the Motocross series which is his best yet in the premier class.
Short will return in 2010 aboard the Honda Red Bull Racing Team's CRF450R.
Known for his upbringing in Colorado, Short is always a big threat at the Thunder Valley venue.
