MATTHEW STOKES
New Image TransCanada Motorsports Racing was formed in 2019 with the goal of supporting a professional women’s motocross team to compete at select events across Canada. The creation of this program was to fill a void within the sport of women’s motocross in regards to the lack of professional teams and sponsorship opportunities available to female racers in comparison with their male counterparts. Team Owner/Manager Lawrence Hamm wanted to provide a platform through which talented female riders were able to elevate their skills, and gain support to allow them to compete at a national level. In 2022, New Image Racing competed at the Canadian Thor WMX Nationals, in which three of its four riders finished within the top 20 in the country.

JORDAN GLEDHILL
Jordan Gledhill here! I have been riding dirt bikes for 19 years and have been a professional Freestyle motocross for the last 5 years. I came from duck tape graphics kit and riding bikes that were over 20 years old, while trying to compete against brand new bikes. After 10 years of straight racing, I started to realize that it was not my true passion. At the age of 17 years old, I decided to take a different path. To become a professional Freestyle Motocross Rider.
