My name is Jenna Wood and I am from Manitoulin
Island, Ontario. I started riding when I was about
10 years old. My very first bike was a little Honda
xr70, however I quickly wanted something bigger and
faster after watching my older brother and his
friends ride. After riding for about a year on a
Suzuki rm85 my friends and family started saying
that I should try racing because they felt as
though I would be successful. I had been to many
races to watch my brother and his friends ride,
which really motivated me to take up racing. I
would also watch the girl’s races to see what
it was like, experience and competition wise. The
following year I joined CMRC racing and after my
first race I instantly fell in love. My friends all
told me to just take it easy and that your first
race is never going to be your personal best, but
after that first moto they quickly took it all
back. I went out there and killed it! I got a
holeshot here and there and even placed 2nd overall
that day for my first race against 16 girls. That
year I ended up 3rd overall and have raced ever
since.
The past few years I have really started to
enjoy motocross more and more. I sometimes even
feel as though I find myself enjoying the
competition against the guys more than girls,
mainly due to the women’s turnout at the gate.
I am one of the only girls that ride and race where
I live, which gets frustrating. Any girl out there
that has been in this position understands that it
is very difficult to be the only girl out there
sometimes.
Within the last 3 years, I have consistently
placed first overall and really want to make my way
down South to even bigger and faster races. I have
luckily been able to pick up a few sponsors over
these past few years to help me out with my racing!
I would have never gotten this far without all moto
friends particularly the guys that treat me no
different being a girl out there and help me out in
any way they can from riding advice to helping me
fix my bike.
As Ryan Sipes says it, “Motocross is dirty,
it’s hot, sweaty, hard on your body…but
man its fun, that’s what I do, its what I am,
its what I live for.”
