"...I've been riding dirt bikes for fun since I was 6 years old. I started racing bicycles when I was 8 years old." After racing all over the country, Jeff won several state championships and also a world champion title. He still rode his dirt bike on the weekends when he was not involved in some sort of BMX racing. It wasn't until Jeff was about 13, and quite literally, eventually grew out of bicycles, quickly heading to six foot six, and wanted to start a career in dirt bike racing. He competed all over the west coast, especially California in numerous circuits and series. He won a Southern California Championship series, as well as a Northern Series, and also a Top 5 finish at the World Mini's race.
Jeff raced until he was 17 years old, it's also the same time he started practicing and performing freestyle motocross (FMX). A rider named Adam Pierce, who lived nearby, was doing an FMX demo later that week and asked if he would like a chance to perform with him. Since he always loved doing tricks at the track, during practice and just about anywhere he could he thought why not give it a try. Jeff got the opportunity to do a few tricks and hit the ramp for the 1st time. "I had an awesome, successful, first show, I was hooked!" After that weekend he never raced again. Now he's done hundreds of expeditions and contests to include; Placing 6th at the X-Games.
When ask what Jeff's future goals are he replied, "Be safe, stay healthy, promote my sponsors the best I can and take gold at the next X-Games!"
