SCOTT athlete Rich Houseman wins 4X Title

SCOTT-sponsored athlete Rich Houseman has been tearing up the national DH, Dual Slalom, and 4X circuit all season with multiple podium finishes in DS and 4X. Houseman’s hard work and dedication have finally paid off at the NORBA finals in Aspen, CO with Rich taking home his first ever 4X win and taking the series overall title as well! Houseman has sported the SCOTT Nosweatxi and 89xi (click to view goggles) goggles all season long.



Houseman went into the finals with only seven points separating himself and Jared Rando. Houseman qualified in first place boosting his confidence going into the finals. He was almost a second faster than the second place qualifier and a few positions ahead of Rando. In the semi finals Houseman was facing Rando, Cody Warren, and Michael Hughes. Houseman and Warren finished ahead of Rando securing the National title for Rich! With the majority of the pressure off Houseman dominated the final round winning his very first 4X race an NORBA National Title!

Housemans words - “This was my biggest day as professional MTB racer! I want to say thanks to everybody that has supported me over the years, all my sponsors, and especially my wife Hillary.”

Congratulations goes out to Big House on a fantastic season!!!
