Injuries defined Wil Hahn’s career. Even at his height, when in 2013, he had to race the last 250 East Supercross race with a hand he broke in timed practice. He persevered to win the 2013 AMA 250 East Supercross Championship.

Although officially Eli Tomac’s factory Kawasaki teammate for the last two years of his career, Wil always seemed to be hurt during his green days. During his career Wil rode for Star Yamaha, MDK KTM, Troy Lee Honda,  Geico Honda and Team Kawasaki. At the end of the 2016 season, he missed getting one last chance to finish out his career on the racetrack because of injuries, but when an opportunity came to race the 2016 Australian Supercross Championship later in the year, a healed-up Wil signed on. Then, at the final Australian race he announced his retirement.

After retiring, he joined the Geico Honda team program to help with their amateur riders and then became the team manager for the Star Yamaha team. Wil was born on December 23, 1989. He is 33 years old.
