Andrew Short finished sixth overall during the 2011 Supercross Championship with a KTM 350 SX-F.
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 capable of landing results - that’s why multiple factory teams including Suzuki, Honda and KTM have put faith in this young Colorado native.
Short has been in the top-five in Supercross and outdoors since 2005 when he was still running the 125 division. He finished second in the ’05 Nationals, but ’08 ‘09 have been the best years of his career overall so far. A third-place finish in Supercross followed with runner-up in Motocross during 2009 is proof that he deserves a spot among the elite riders. The best part, however, is that he’s as quick with a kind word and smile as he is with his right wrist.
In 2010 Shorty's SX season didn't last long as he seriously injured his ankle at the San Diego round. He missed seven rounds in total and finished 12th overall - far from his best result. Short's '10 MX season went much better, however, and the 27-year-old finished third overall behind Ryan Dungey and Brett Metcalfe. Also, Short helped pilot team USA to its sixth consecutive MXoN victory in 2010.
For 2011 Short traded in his Honda for KTM black and orange. He campaigned the year alongside Mike Alessi aboard a KTM 350 SX-F, finishing with top-10 results in SX and MX. It was largely a mediocre year for Short, however, as he failed to land a single podium finish.
In 2012 Short will move to Larry Brooks’ L&M Racing Honda Team to contest Supercross and Motocross with his new teammate, Kyle Regal.
Known for his upbringing in Colorado, Short is always a big threat at the Thunder Valley venue. For '12 he'll race with L&Mc Honda.
