Going back to the days of Darcy Lange and Dusty Klatt — and even Al Dyck before them — British Columbia has always produced incredible riders who’ve found success both in Canada and on the world stage. Thanks in part to being able to ride almost twelve months of the year in certain parts of the province, as well as competitive and well run regional events like the Future West MX Championships and the West Coast AX Series, riders in BC have had plenty of opportunities to develop their craft. One of the young and talented BC riders making waves right now is Lincoln Green, who this past summer found success at both the Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National in the USA and the Walton TransCan in Ontario. Racing his Kawasaki KX250, Green dominated the Open Junior class at the Walton TransCan, showing that he has a very bright future ahead of him. We caught up with Lincoln as he settled back into life at home in Lake Country, BC, enjoying a brief off season.
Hey Lincoln! It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two months since the Walton TransCan. What have you been up to since returning home in August?
Hey Chris, thanks for taking the time to chat with me. Since returning home from Walton, I took about three weeks off the bike to recover. I’ve also been mountain biking, working, and hitting up some Future West MX races. Overall it’s been pretty chill, but after such a busy summer, it’s been good to relax a bit.
You won a Walton TransCan Championship in the Open Junior class. Can you take us through your week and what it meant to win a title at Canada’s biggest race?
It was a super cool experience winning the Open Junior Championship. I’m really happy to get a championship, but I struggled with my starts all week and the speed I wanted wasn’t quite there. Overall, it was a great week at Walton. The facility impressed me with all the changes, and the event was really well run.
From talking to numerous people since the TransCan, it sounds like most really enjoyed themselves. You’ve been progressing well over the past several seasons. What things have you been working on, and what do you think you’ve improved on the most?
Thanks, Chris. I’ve been really focusing on myself and not the people around me. I’ve also been dogging out the 30 minute motos at MTF. I’m working as hard as I can to be the best version of myself on and off the bike. I think my bike control in rough conditions has improved the most.
That’s great to hear, Lincoln! Obviously your hard work and talent have led to a successful 2026. We know you’re a BC kid, but where in BC do you call home, and when you’re home, what do you like to do away from the track?
My home is in Lake Country, BC, which is located between Vernon and Kelowna. Away from the track I enjoy riding enduro and bicycles. I also like hanging out with my friends and family. I’ve been working a lot and want to save up to buy a truck.
It sounds like you live in a beautiful part of BC. Okay, you had a great 2026 season — you went to Loretta Lynn’s and did very well, and you won a Walton TransCan title. What does the next few months look like for you, and what are your plans for 2027?
Loretta’s was super fun and a great experience. Getting two overall podium finishes and winning a moto in each class was so cool. Hopefully I can build on that success and have another solid year in 2027. The plan is to head back to MTF to train in mid October, and then I’m going to finish off my Junior race career at Mini O’s in November.
Next year, I’ll hopefully head back to Loretta’s in the B class, and I also plan to race as many events as I can in both Canada and the USA.
