Jason's love for riding started at an early age in Lakefield, Ontario, riding a BMX. In his teens, he and his family moved to Kelowna, BC. There, he fell in love with mountain biking and renewed his thirst for the freedom and adventure that two wheels (regardless of the bike type) could provide. He also found that competitive cycling was a tremendous personal outlet, providing opportunities to be humbled regularly, to expand his knowledge of himself, of human physiology and an opportunity to explore the art of riding. As a result, he has acquired a range of riding and competitive experience - from BMX, road racing(from crits to Randonnee's), Cyclo-cross and Mountain Biking in all of its shapes and iterations (including slopestyle, 4x, XCO, ultra-XC, DH, Enduro).
