“I’ve had a few bad injuries this year but am looking to come back real strong next season and am really looking forward to it, especially Woodville ( Jesse won the nats12-14’s class there as young fella). If I could pass on one bit of advice to the younger riders coming through out there it would be to learn your bike set up and mechanics and not just leave it up to dad or whoever. It has helped me heaps over the years to know what’s going on with the bike and given me the confidence to ride to my full ability. ”

Cheers for the interview Jesse, it was nice to see you and your crew up from Wellington enjoying the park – see you all again soon we hope and good luck for next year.
