I have ridden down behind him at whistler... he is almost as fast as my crew and throwing twice the style, this kid is a bad ass and is probably going to be one of the best bikers ever....
His bike is full of 'Loaded' componants. If they were smart they would sponsor him. Think of the exposure they would get for sponsoring such a young, well known talent.
Awesome shot of Jackson! He's a really nice kid who absolutely rips! His little 3" travel Lil Shredder (full suspension for little people) bike is so cool!! You can get them with 16" wheels and as your child grows you can change the wheels to 20" and then with new dropouts go to a 24" wheel. Smart!! Psyched to watch Jackson and others grow up with bikes like this. The new age is now!!
When I was learning to backflip at the foam pit in whistler, he came in and started riding. He had the smoothest looking backflips, so when I asked him what I was doing wrong with mine, he gave me like 5 technique tips. And they all worked! Here I am, a 19 year old kid, taking biking advice from an 8 year old. He's the best.
Unreal, I can't imagine what the scene will look like 10+ years from now with all the new talent consistently popping up. In regards to Danny Hart's HUGE whip on his WC run from '11, I'm waiting for a rider in the future at some point to either flip the last jump or throw a huge superman seat grab and still win just because they can...
yeah jackson! read about him a couple of years ag, and hes already going this big now. he'll definately be pro in a couple of years if he goes on like this
