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!"

 Nah, nothing to do with the music, just a proper bike being ridden properly. No xc bikes, no pedalling up a hill, no silly tricks, just someone riding a dh bike down a hill, rapidly. Its only my opinion, but these are the sorts of vids that make me wanna ride.

 Ive been lightly following jack since 09 from the dirt vids and couldnt believe the riding talent of the guy, hes sooo close to shocking the WC scene with a big placing and I hope that rotator cuff heals up and doesnt feel like mine [weird popping in/out feeling]. Best of luck for the season Jack, Hope to see ya rip at St Anne

 I'm studying in Madrid this semester and it's absolutely killing me that I don't have enough cash to rent a bike and bomb down any of these beautiful Spanish trails! Great riding, great vibes, great video!

 Sick video, good riding and great style as always. I always remember jack in more fluoro and colours so it seems odd when he's more subdued. Pro outfit though.

 Good edit jack. You should fix up the line on the left at motril. Would be sick. The race line on the right is mint too with the steep chute.

 Nice vid...for tip you should edit out the wind noise, especially shots at the end where sound wasn't even needed...wind noise distracted the shot.

 You must be really important in your town in order to just assume that you speak for everyone. I never understood people like yourself and the militant stand that you hold against certain types of music. Newsflash, we're all different, and we all enjoy different things (like music for example)! Crazy concept, I know! So if you have nothing nice to say, then don't say it at all, trollolololol.

 You can find it on YouTube, but I buy my music usually on Beatport, iTunes, or Bandcamp. Not only is the quality better, I like to support the artist as well.
