Destry Abbott is an absolute legend in the off road racing world and we at the WannaBes were honored to talk with him about his career and the advice that he has for anyone that rides a dirt bike. As a factory rider for fourteen years for the Monster Energy Kawasaki team, Destry won ten major championships as well as seven gold medals at the famous International Six Days Enduro (ISDE). Destry also won five AMA National Hare & Hound Championships and has competed in enduro cross in the X-Games. Destry has had an incredible life not only as a multigenerational off road racer but also as a leukemia survivor, which you can learn more about in the featured film Strong on Amazon. 

Strong is a must see movie about Destry's battle with cancer and will really make you appreciate his upbeat attitude and constant positive outlook on life.

Destry is also father to Cooper Abbott who is a recently signed FactoryONE Sherco rider. 

We first interviewed Cooper a few months back and you can see that episode here. 

Destry now runs the DA8 Training school where he works with pro racers and moto enthusiasts to help them improve their riding abilities. Destry has a wealth of knowledge and is an amazing instructor. We could have talked with Destry for hours and probably not even scratched the surface of the wisdom that he could share with us. We will have to do another podcast in the future where we talk more about techniques and training for everyone's riding benefit.
