Hey, what's up guys? Welcome back to the Whiskey Throttle Media Amateur Spotlight. We're here today with

Gavin Towers. He's riding for the NSA Yamaha team. What's up, Gavin? How are you? Pretty good. How are you?

Trying to recover after the Super Bowl. But hey, man, I appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself? Give us some background on you and where you're

from? I'm from Pennsylvania and I've been just riding since I was... tell us a little bit about yourself. Give us some background on you and where you're from.

I'm from Pennsylvania and I've been just riding since I was four years old and have a lot of fun with it. And then I've just been rehabbing lately just from an injury and then we're really

excited to get back going this year. I'm going to finish out kind of my amateur career through

these next eight months,

just doing maybe some outdoor races, definitely Loretta's and stuff like that. So I'm really

excited. Some background information, just like I've just been riding forever. And yeah.

Outside of racing, what are your favorite things to do?

Outside of racing, definitely snowboard, which being home this whole winter definitely stinks.

Watching all my friends go snowboarding and stuff like that.

Love to play golf.

I mean, like a lot of racers, wakeboarding and stuff like that. But now since this knee injury and I realize how much rehab goes

into these knees, the snowboarding and the wakeboarding, probably going to slow down a little bit.

But yeah, those are probably my three favorite things outside of racing to really do.

Yeah, and we'll talk about your injuring a little bit, but those things that you like to do,

a lot of those things put a lot of pressure on your knee so it might be something that you'll look about the next time you do those activities.

Oh, for sure.

I tell everybody that I'm like, man, before like snowboarding stuff, like hitting the jumps,

like rails and stuff like that, I don't think about it.
