Jacks thoughts going into 2015:
"After struggling through 2014 with a right rotator cuff shoulder injury that just wouldn't let up, I couldn't wait to say hello to the off season, especially when to add insult to injury I broke my left collarbone in September riding motocross. By December I was back to riding the downhill bike and went out to Malaga for a holiday with RoostDH where I started to feel the love for riding fast again. I spent the following two months training hard in the gym and on the XC bike to regain the fitness I had at the start of the 2014 season. I've just been back to Malaga for a pre-season training trip, again with RoostDH, and feel stronger and faster than ever and can't wait to be racing again!
"2015 sees the start of a project I’ve been thinking about starting for a couple of years, my own UCI world cup trade team, One Vision Global Racing. This is giving me even more enthusiasm to race, perform and achieve my goals and dreams in the sport. I can’t thank the teams’ sponsors enough for their support: Trek, ONeal, Pacenti, MRP, Works Components, Fox/Mojo, Bontrager, Fusion, Dirt Factory and Ticky Bikes. I’m also incredibly grateful to my own personal sponsors, Schwalbe, DNA Sports Performance, Apolonia House and my mates Rick and Mark. I also have to give a massive shout to my old man Phil Reading who is managing the team and doing an amazing job. I can’t wait to get to the BDS and World Cup races with my teammates, Pistol and Jamie, and get racing!"
