Sounds like a good kid with a good head on his shoulders. I wish the best for him and his family and hope he stays focused till he finishes school.

thats awesome his parents work so hard to keep him in school. so many of these kids just get homeschooled from a young age and miss out on that part of their life. can't wait to see him go pro

lucky kid to have such devoted and caring parents that r keeping him level headed and seemingly appreciative. i think this is the JGR bound kid when he turns pro and all.

Watched Cooper ride at Mesquite Nev. last year at the Mini nationals. He was clearing a quad jump on a 150. Everyone was amazed. Kid has major talent. Watch this guy in the future. He's a good one with an obvious great family backing him. Sure is a great sport we all love ain't it.

I used to think cooper webb was sort of over rated, but you know what? after seeing this vid i can see that he`s a really awsome kid and a great rider, and besides, he would do wheelies around me lol.

Hats off to cooper for staying in public school because I'll admit its not easy and I wasn't able to keep doing that so it means alot for a really fast kid to be doing that. He probably knows what its like to see all the idiots that wear their jerseys and stuff to school because they thinks its the bomb.

Overrated? Mark my words, CW is going to win championships in the pros. Very smart racer and grounded.............and amazing bike skills. He was faster in a couple sections at Ponca and Branson than anyone else, A class big bikes included.

Met this kid at Lorreta's last year, seemed nice and was SUPER fast. Good to see he has a balanced head on his shoulders too :)

CW is a great young man. Our son grew up racing against him on PW50's back 2000 & 2001. Good to see someone you know like that "make it" Good luck to him & his family in the future.

He came off really good in this interveiw. But nobody is mentioning that his mother is a teacher at the school he goes to, yes it's great he's in public school but 99% of other top amateur riders simply miss to many days.

Hmmm, God bless and keep all of them, I truly hope this kid makes it into the Pro leagues. :-D Always a treat to see good people get just rewards.

I was very impressed watching Cooper ride. He was invited to Bermuda and rode at our Boxing Day & New Years day classic. He has a promising future ahead of him. Glad to see that he continues his education & is taking it very seriously. Best wishes & Good Luck from the motocross community here in Bermuda.

cooper is a great kid on and off the track. I have been lucky to just be able to practice with him at some off our local track here in North Carolina. He and his frends have made this website called easternedia.net. It is an alsome website to visit. I've been able to see coper ride his 250 and man is he fast. He is going to be someone to watch for in the next couple years.
