He then shifted focus to national events, garnering multiple podium finishes and top amateur honors in the National Enduro Series.  2020 was the year to put all his energy into qualifying and representing the USA for the 2021 ISDE.

Joel has dreamed of qualifying for the ISDE for many years, watching YouTube videos and hearing about all of the amazing stories.  

For the last 5 years, he has pursued qualifying for  ISDE, but in 2021, he made it a priority.  

"Representing the USA is priceless!"

One of Joel's favorite tracks is in his home state by Stumpjumpers Motorcycle Club in Packwood, WA.  The old "lumber mill" track has a bit of everything, from big marble river rock, tight single track and bark sections, to asphalt sections.  "There's no explaining the feeling of going as fast as your bike will go down the asphalt to backing it into the corner."  

Ricky Russell is a favorite mentor and hero, simply because of the way he holds himself. He's unselfish, always giving helpful tips to anyone that inquires.  Ricky is humble.
