Millsaps is just 22 years old, but he has a lifetime of SX and MX experience under his belt. An accomplished 9-time AMA National Amateur Champion, the Duke turned pro in 2005 where he took third place in the Supercross 125 East Series and won the East/West shootout with current team mate Andrew Short.  He made even more of a splash in 2006 when he exploded on the national scene, winning the AMA Supercross Lites East  Championship aboard a Honda CRF250R. No sooner had the last gate of the SX season dropped than Millsaps jumped up to the 450 class, riding in the AMA Motocross Championship on a CRF450R, where he shocked the veterans by taking third overall.

But then lady luck showed just how fickle she can be. In 2007 Millsaps broke his femur just before the start of the Supercross season, and he suffered another injury just as his leg was healing.

In 2008 Millsaps was back: healthy, ready and raring to win. And win he did, with two Supercross victories and eight podium finishes. Then, just into the outdoor nationals, Millsaps was injured again, this time with a separated shoulder.

Cut to 2009: Millsaps had a good Supercross season, finishing eighth overall but standing on the podium four times. Then at Hangtown early in the Motocross season, Millsaps was once again injured, this time hurting his neck and taking him out for much of the season. So for 2010, Millsaps is in a familiar situation. He’s had much of the off-season to get fit, and he’s healthy. He’s on a great bike with a great team. And he’s hungry to win. All he needs now is a little luck and a season without injuries.
