Stark Future and Jorge Zaragoza have made history with the Stark Varg by winning the Big Hill Jam 2024 Supercross. Competing against a formidable lineup of professional riders, including former AMA Supercross Champion Justin Hill and reigning AMA Arenacross Champion Kyle Peters, Zaragoza’s win marks a pivotal moment in US Supercross history, showcasing the competitiveness of the Stark VARG electric motocross bike in top-tier racing. Additionally, Patrick Evans earned the prestigious Best Whip award, further solidifying Stark Future’s dominance at the event.
Zaragoza’s victory is not just a win for him and Stark Future; it is a win for the entire motocross community. The Stark VARG’s performance at Big Hill Jam Supercross demonstrates that the VARG electric motocross bike is capable of competing head-to-head with traditional combustion bikes. Zaragoza’s skill, combined with the Stark VARG’s cutting-edge technology, proved to be an unbeatable combination, eliminating doubts about the viability of electric bikes in professional racing.
The Big Hill Jam 2024 featured a strong field of competitors, highlighting the diverse talents and manufacturers in the sport. Riders like AMA Arenacross Champ Kyle Peters and Justin Hill, all on combustion bikes known for their skill sets and flow, provided stiff competition, ensuring that Zaragoza’s victory was hard-earned and well-deserved. Meanwhile, Patrick Evans took the top spot in the Best Whip competition, outperforming fellow Stark VARG rider Nick Tomasunas and Wyatt Fontenot on a combustion bike. Patrick was recognized for his exceptional performance and signature whip that earned the Best Whip award at Big Hill Jam 2024.
While the event celebrated many triumphs, it also saw its share of challenges. Justin Bogle faced a tough race after a crash at the start due to another rider hitting his front wheel. Despite the setback, Bogle walked away unharmed, though battered and bruised. Meanwhile, Josh Hill participated in a more relaxed, playful mode, choosing to ride with everyone rather than race competitively.
