Meet the Team

Ok, it’s not so much a team as it is two aging kids

who enjoy using land, sea, and air to their fullest potential.

Jack
Scott

Jack and Scott have spent a lifetime twisting throttles on dirt and street, seeking out new rides, and looking for adventure. If it moves and can carry you or you can jump into or through it they consider it pretty much the definition of a good time.

Jack is married to Scott’s sister Penny.

Jack & Penny, Scott & Kerrie had a good time with their Mini Coopers through the Tail of The Dragon and surrounding areas for a week.

Jack is a nurse manager who is known for doing things which could result in him needing the services of his profession. He is also a grand sportsman feared by all fish.

Jack and his son Shawn are rabid NASCAR fans. Bristol seems to be a regular destination for the two of them.

Scott and Kerrie

Scott is a software engineer who seeks adventure and is known for dragging others into it along with him. After learning about Sam Correro’s TransAmerica trail it took him all of 10 minutes to decide he would ride it. It took Jack about the same amount of time to agree to join in the adventure. It was the start of an 18 month process preparing for the ride and arranging 6 weeks away from work.

Scott started riding unicycles at an early age and has introduced many in the family to this fun sport. While they still ride classic unicycles the electric unicycles are now the ‘one wheel’ of choice because of their speed and range. Scott has now ridden more than 2000 miles on an electric unicycle and Jack is now collecting miles too.

Scott and his wife Kerrie both enjoy riding dirt and street motorcycles as well as watching others ride them. They travelled the Supercross circuit in 2021 and 2022 to attend all the races – living in a camper for most of two years.
