Twitch claims he wants to ride in Canada


Here is a video of freestyle motocrosser Twitch talking about what he has been up to since his injury. He had a bad crash and had 7 months of recovery in a wheelchair due to a shattered ankle and spinal cord problems. He claims he has now started to feel ready to pull off some tricks on jumps, but for now is just getting back into his comfort zone. The way he has been getting back into comfort is by riding in the hills of California. The hills is known to be a popular spot for motocrosser's in this time of the year, because they have rain which makes it easy for them to dig and carve jumps in the valley. He mentions about halfway through the video that he has gained an interest with going North of the boarder to Canada to ride some of the hills in the west. His friends recently told him that they were in Canada and that within one day they saw unlimited riding locations which have potential to be great. Stitch is nickname for Jeremy Stenberg, who was born in the year 1981 in California. He has always been known as a dare devil and a freestyle motocross rider, his nickname came from his tourettes syndrome. Twitch is laos involved with racing off road trucks with the Lucas Oil championship series. He appeared on MTV"s True Life in 2006. He has also placed top 2 in numerous x games over the past 10 years. Below is a picture of an example of what the Hills would like in California or Canada where he digs jumps out of. The jumps can send the rider up to 100 feet in distance.
