Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg (born September 27, 1981 in San Diego, California) is a professional freestyle motocross rider and professional off-road truck racer. Stenberg received his nickname 'Twitch' from his Tourette's syndrome, which he was diagnosed with at the age of eight. He started riding motorbikes at the age of two so his father could spend more time with him and keep him out of their dangerous neighbourhood.[1]
