27-year old Tory Hett, one of the top female professional off-road riders in the world, returns to the 2012 Vancouver Motorcycle Show. Victoria ‘Tory’ Hett will be riding in the Enduro-X as she prepares for the ‘Olympics of Motorcycling’ – the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE).
In 2011, Tory has raced the PNWMA series, the Okanagan series, the Canadian Enduro Championships, and a few endurocross events in the U.S. She also qualified for the ISDE in Mexico and became the first Canadian woman to finish and take home a medal – winning a bronze. Her plan for 2012 is to fly to Germany and compete in the ISDE again, with the ultimate goal of bringing home the gold.
Tory has graced the cover of Inside Moto X Magazine and won the Desert 100 Women’s Class. The Canadian racer says that 2012 will be her busiest year and she is excited to ride at the 2012 Vancouver Motorcycle Show to raise awareness for team Canada and the women’s trophy team.

Upcoming racing year or career: My main goal is to promote my sponsors through high profile events like the AMA Endurocross series, the X Games, and bring home a Gold medal from the ISDE in Germany. I also plan to race as many PNWMA and OHSS races as possible.
My second passion is horses and I love getting out on my horse Sugar in Cherryville. I also really enjoy snowboarding and spending time outdoors camping or trying new sports.
