After 10 years of racing professional supercross and motocross—in which he was able to capture a 250SX East Region Championship and a 250MX National Championship, and several 450SX and MX race wins—Trey Canard called it a career in 2017.
“I love racing and my passion for doing so has not changed, but there comes a time in every racer’s career where you come to the realization that although the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak, and I know in my heart it’s time to call it a day,” he said at the time. “I’ve had many injuries throughout my career and have always done my best to heal and bounce back. However, I feel I am not able to push myself to the level I need to in order to be competitive at the highest level of racing. I am sad to say goodbye but also extremely grateful and thankful for the last 10 years of my life. I never could have dreamed I’d do the things I’ve been able to do, to live out a childhood dream and meet and become close with so many wonderful fans and industry people.”
Since retiring, Canard has stayed in the industry as a test rider for American Honda and a coaching representative for the U.S. Motorcycle Coaching Association (USMCA). One of the nicest guys in the pits, Canard recently gave a TEDx talk and talked about a ton of different things. Check it out below.
