  1. Carey Hart is one of the most recognized names in all of freestyle motocross. What had originally started as a father and son pastime starting when Carey was 4 years and turned into Carey's passion. By the time he entered his first local race as an amateur, he was hooked and by high school graduation, Carey Hart was a professional motocross rider, racing the AMA Supercross circuit.

    Carey grew bored with Supercross and started riding with a group of friends who were interested in a more creative and expressive form of motocross. In 1998, the freestyle motocross movement was born with Carey leading the way. From the sport's inception, Carey has been one of the most innovative riders in the sport. He is the inventor of the Hart Attack and at the 2000 Gravity Games Carey etched his name in the record books as the first rider ever to complete a back flip on a 250cc motorcycle. The back flip catapulted Carey, and Freestyle Motocross as a whole, to an entirely new level. The stunt got the world's attention; it was even featured on Ripley's Believe It or Not!

    In addition to his many business ventures (including Hart and Huntington Tattoo Company and his clothing line), he still dedicates significant time to one of his biggest passions, his Supercross team. Carey funds one of the most popular and lifestyle-driven privateer teams to hit Supercross. In 2011, Carey welcomes a new title sponsor Dodge Motorsports who is entering the Supercross space for the first time. The Dodge Hart and Huntington Race Team includes elite riders Ivan Tedesco and Josh Hill joining Chris Blose for the most formidable race team to date.
