Jeremy Stenberg on Growing Up Tough

Jeremy Stenberg is a force of nature. If you ever spent time watching freestyle motocross or the X Games, his name probably rings a bell. That’s because he spent no small amount of time on top of the podium, bashing it out with the likes of Travis Pastrana and other madmen. These days, the guy spends his time knocking trophy truck fenders in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, and while he’s less likely to snap a bone nowadays, gunning for the checkered flag takes no less grit.

Which is why Polaris stopped to talk with Stenberg. The manufacturer has a new tagline: Tough Doesn’t Quit. It’s aimed at highlighting the inspiration and engineering that goes into building machines that take the kind of abuse we dole out on an average weekend. Some of that inspiration comes from the likes of racers like Stenberg who have faced all manner of challenges only to dust themselves off and keep swinging. Check out the video below to hear Stenberg talk about his childhood growing up with Tourette Syndrome, overcoming massive injuries, and what it takes to keep going.
