Twitch
Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg is the king of step-up and one of the most naturally talented freestyle moto-x riders riding today. He makes the most technical moves look smooth and easy, despite the fact that he was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at age five--hence his nickname, Twitch. Twitch is quite the character and a funny little bastard, a total clown that will not hesitate to yell at people on purpose and blame it on his condition.
Originally from Santee, California, where he was born on September 27, 1981, Twitch currently resides in Winchester. He started riding at the ripe old age of two when his dad got him a motorcycle for Christmas. Freestyle moto-x reared its ugly head in Twitch's life at age sixteen, courtesy of early freestyle influences like Mike Metzger and Brian Deegan in the Crusty Demons videos. These days, Twitch can often be found riding his 2005 Honda with friends and Metal Mulisha teammates Deegan, Ronnie Faist, Beau Manly and Collin Morrison at the compound, as well at Mike Metzger's place. "We just have fun riding our bikes. It gives you a feeling like nothing else does. I don't know, I just love doing it," commented Twitch recently.
Besides riding moto-x, Twitch enjoys skateboarding, listening to music like Danzig and the Kottonmouth Kings and taking care of his daughter, Katrina. His career highlights include winning the 1999 Triple Crown in his hometown of San Diego, nabbing the 1999 LXD Freeride Championships in Las Vegas on a 125 ("I got tired of getting 5th and 6th. I wanted to win, so I just went out there and ripped.")--not to mention scoring a medal at the 2001 X Games for step-up and the 2004 Triple Crown Freestyle event. His future goals are "To become a millionaire one day". Considering the large amount of natural talent Twitch possesses, I'm sure he will easily make his dreams come true.
