Stilez Robertson Announces Retirement from Professional Racing
In a heartfelt and emotional announcement, 23-year-old Californian motocross racer Stilez Robertson has revealed his decision to retire from professional racing. The former amateur standout and factory rider made the tough call after a prolonged battle with a wrist injury that has plagued him over the past several seasons.
Robertson, known for his smooth riding style and impressive results as a youth competitor, quickly rose through the ranks as one of the sport’s most promising young talents. He captured the attention of fans and teams alike with multiple championships at Loretta Lynn’s and strong performances in his early years as a pro. However, lingering health issues—especially a recurring wrist injury—ultimately hindered his ability to compete at the highest level.
“It’s been an incredibly difficult decision,” Robertson said in a statement. “Racing is all I’ve ever known and loved. But after countless surgeries, rehab sessions, and setbacks, I’ve come to realize that my body just isn’t allowing me to continue at the level I expect from myself.”
Throughout his professional career, Robertson rode for some of the sport’s top teams and lined up against the best in both Supercross and Motocross. Despite the challenges, he remained a fan favorite due to his resilience, humility, and dedication to the sport.
As he steps away from racing, Robertson expressed gratitude to his family, sponsors, and fans for their unwavering support. “I’m so thankful for everyone who’s been on this journey with me. While this chapter is closing, I’m excited for what comes next and hope to stay involved in the sport in new ways.”
Though his professional racing career comes to an early end, Robertson’s impact on the motocross community will be remembered—and his next steps will surely be followed with interest.
