At the age of 2, Cody Webb was off training wheels and by 4 years old he rode his first dirt bike. Webb grew up in Watsonville, California. He transferred to San Jose State in Fall 2013 and graduated Spring 2016. During his time at SJSU, Webb studied mechanical engineering while also juggling a professional motocross riding career. “I forced myself onto riding because my dad competed,” Webb said. “He grew up riding trials just like his father. Trial riding is a non-speed sport where riders take their bike through a series of difficult off-road obstacles. Trial riding is done on a specialized, lightweight bike with no seat. “They score it like golf,” PHOTO COURTESY OF CODY WEBB Webb said. “You have to (Top) Cody Webb races in an endurocross event.
