Jhak Walker: Enduro Racing, Mindset, and the Beta 250 Two-Stroke

Jhak Walker is having a strong 2026 season, and I got a chance to catch up with him after his Pro 2 win at the Rhode Island National Enduro.

We talk about the deep rocks, rain, ruts, technical hills, and wild conditions he dealt with in Rhode Island, where he swept all six Pro 2 tests and won one test outright. We also discuss his first-ever National Enduro overall victory at the Barbed Wire National Enduro, where Jhak became the first Pro 2 racer to take an overall win.

Jhak breaks down what has changed in his riding this year. We talk about not overriding the track, looking ahead, hitting marks, using your legs more, working on form, and why sometimes riding with intent is more productive than simply trying to go faster.

We also get into his pre-race warm-up routine, how he approaches the first test of the day, the mental side of racing, managing expectations after a big win, and why he likes racing the Beta 250 RR two-stroke.

Thanks to Jhak for coming on the show. Enjoy getting seat time.
