Episode 345 Gavin Jenkins: "When Your Hobby Becomes More"

What starts as a hobby sometimes becomes something much more. In this episode, we follow the journey of a young racer inspired by his older brother’s ATV passion. From trail rides to discovering local XC events, his path to competition began on a sport quad—chasing the thrill and unknowingly following the tracks of a future WXC pro.

He began racing local events, learning the ropes and finding his place in the sport. But as his skills evolved, so did his perspective. Eventually, he found his strength not in the sport quad class—but in the growing and competitive Pro 4x4 division.

And somewhere along the way, he found more than just a racing career… he found a partner at the track who would later become Mrs. Jenkins.

This is the story of a homegrown racer finding his lane—on and off the track. Tune in, share with friends and family, and don’t forget to subscribe and like where you can. Thanks for listening!
