CHIT CHAT - EVAN WALL

Words: Evan Wall

The off-season has been pretty sweet for me so far! It kicked off with the Sun Peaks CEL. I arrived home from the last EDR round in France on a Monday night and didn’t even unpack my bags. I had a few days at home, and then loaded the moto and bike into my truck and headed for the interior for the best race of the season! I was so stoked to be there for that, and no better way to round off the season with some good ol’ lift-assisted Canadian Enduro. After that trip, I spent some time shoving new suspension into the truck because mo’ suspension travel = mo’ shuttles = better training! Riding season lasted a good bit in the fall, and when winter finally showed up, I made the most of it, getting heaps of backcountry skiing in.

After two great years with Devinci Global Racing, their priorities changed, which left me looking for a new team for 2024. I’m stoked to say I’ve locked something down, although I can’t say who just yet. My only hint is you probably wouldn’t guess it… I’ll be racing the EDR circuit again and plan on tacking on a few extra races while in Europe, including some mass start shenanigans! Through the off-season, I have been building trail with SORCA part-time which has been allowing me to prioritize training while not being stressed about the bills. Overall, I’m super happy with the winter of riding, skiing, building, and training. I’m stoked for racing to get started! It hasn’t been confirmed which Canadian races I’ll be attending, but definitely expect to see me riding as many CEL races as I can this summer! Thanks for all you do for the sport here in Canada year after year!
