Webb had an amazing Supercross season winning 8 of 17 races including the final race of the season where his strong finish earned him his second Supercross championship. Webb now sits 11th on the All-Time wins list with 19 career victories. Astoundingly, all those wins were captured in the last three seasons.
Webb is competing against Japanese snowboarder, Yuto Totsuka, Norwegian snowboarder Marcus Kleveland and two-time World Surfing League champion Gabriel Medina.
