• Introduction

In ADVMoto Podcast #3, host Nathan Slabaugh explores the theme of “Getting Sidetracked” — how unexpected detours shape our journeys, both on and off the bike. This episode features two incredible guests: world-traveling photographer and rider Mark Wallace (MarkOnABike.com), and racer-turned-trainer Jocelin Snow, known for her inspiring comeback from injury and her performance at the BMW International GS Trophy. Together they share deeply personal stories of challenge, recovery, and gratitude that remind us adventure isn’t just a destination — it’s how we handle the detours.

• Episode Summary

From stolen motorcycles to life-changing crashes, both guests prove that the best adventures often come from setbacks. Mark Wallace recounts his full-time round-the-world journey — including getting stranded in Tanzania’s mud, having his GS stolen in London, and being quarantined for months in Argentina during the pandemic. Meanwhile, Jocelin Snow shares her remarkable recovery story after a career-ending racing accident left her in a wheelchair — and how her determination led her to ride across Alaska and compete in the GS Trophy in Mongolia and New Zealand. Together, their stories redefine what it means to stay the course when life takes an unexpected turn.
