Maxx Malatia is no amateur to the motocross scene. At the age of 4 Malatia began riding on a JR50 and was racing at a local track called Byron Motorsports Park. It wasn’t until he was 7 years old when Malatia took home his first win aboard his Cobra 50 at Buffalo Range Mx in Ottawa, IL. This was the turn Malatia needed to boost his confidence at such an early age. Malatia wasn’t the only one that started to notice his winnings that he was putting in every weekend at different tracks, as one announcer gave him the nick name “Madd Maxx” which has forever stuck with Malatia. “Madd Maxx” came from how fast Malatia was at such a young age on 50′s and 65′s and some of the jumps he took at that age astonished people. When winning was a regularity, Malatia began to ride and race at a track near his house called, Joliet Motorsports Park. There he made a name for himself and a “local boy” as most would say, where he would sweep the field on a regularity. Throughout his 14 years of racing Malatia has had a lot of people help him out, some of those to mention are: DGY Motorsports, MCC, EVS Sports, Sano, Fox Head Racing, and of course Void Clothing.


Fast forwarding to the current era, the 20-year-old Malatia, is currently competing in the AMSOIL Arenacross Series. He is riding for Team BWRengines.com/FHK Racing/Decal Works aboard a CRF250R.
