The Future of Mountain Biking

I am proud to report that our 4 year old nephew, Jackson, has just completed his first Shimano Youth Series Race back in Indiana (part of the DINO series). We are all so proud of him and his excitement about riding bikes at such an early age! Karen and Trent gave us the full report!

Lining up at the start with the big kids! Jackson (center) has his game face on.
Jackson settling into his pace displaying great form (head up, good arm stance!). He also appears to have great focus and concentation.

A commanding finish! Reports have it that Jackson loved going across the finish line so much that he went back several times to relive the experience!


Jackson's first mountain bike race was a success!

It sounds like Jackson will definately be competing again during the 2007 season after some focused off-season training. This training will likely include more bike riding, razor scooter riding, gymnastics/tumbling, sledding and other assorted sports.
