Dad's comments 2010

3.10.10 Nice riding on tuned bike. Fell in last trying for the lead otherwise could have been placed higher. Jordan wasn't happy but I was as he was getting used to new bike.

11&12.9.10 Good overall for the British Championship hitting top 15. Great qualifying, puncture in 1st then big crash in 2nd race. 3rd race ok good fourth and fifth but last at starts not helping. Well done for the season lets now build for next year.

4&5.9.10 Well done 9th Overall in CJSC Championship reached club target of top 10 great riding all year despite as much bad luck as you can put in a 45 gallon drum. Fast riding but must stay on if you do then you will post top 6 each race. Really looking foward to next year should be really good. Brilliant top 10 in fastest club buy far in the land now lets see if we can get the National target next week of top 15 in BYMX.

22.8.10 OK couldn't wait a full month and we went to Wroxton. Two Brilliant holeshots and led first two races until near the end. Half way around last lap in the second race back marker got in the way and got mugged. This was after some great racing from the front three battling all race. Third race good fight back from 8th to 2nd. FIRST OVERALL Great riding son!

31.7.10 & 1.8.10 Still feeling the effects of last week whic I don't blame him. Kept crashing 9 times in first three races. Don't worry the meal at the pub was nice. Lets have a month break and see what happens when you return.

25.7.10 Had a great practice day rode great. Second lap of practice jordan crashed and the next rider rode over his head flat out and shatterred his Arai helemt. He wasn't the same. Well done son for trying.

17/18.7.10 Had loads of issues with new bike running hot and stopping. Think we sorted out for the Sunday but it was too late then. Jordan rode well. We decide to have a bit of fun and wait until they all went round the first corner and then chase. Got to 11th in first race Sunday in two laps then crashed. Still Jordan was riding well.

3&4.7.10 Foxhills was awesome racing! We used the hills which Jordan rode great. As Chairman I cost Jordan top 10 as I had no time to look after his bike and the pipe off the exhaust to the power valve split in half. The weekend didn't start well as he was in the top 10 in the first race and the rider in front fell and the Marshall didn't put the yellow flag out and Jordan crashed on top of the fallen riders bike. I didn't even have time to speak to him let alone walk the track with him. Jordan had a great attitude however with good starts rather in the back 3 he would have easily made top 10. His riding was great coming from the back with two bad races and rides from the back against the best competition in the country 12th Overall was a fantastic result.

25&26.6.10 Great track Jordan rode well. Bike let him down in first looks like the fuel jet got stuck open in first race. Great riding in a pack from 11th to 24th. Holeshotted last then had real bad crash and smashed clutch housing. Starts were getting better all weekend. Well done son.

19&20.6.10 Great fun weekend. The most relaxed weekend at a national we have had and Jordan rode great. Fourth race was awesome he crashed broke the throttle housing but still managed to race from last. Great meeting to build from.

13.6.10 Jordan was late to bed all week, stayed up sneaking PSP under covers and not eating. Son what do you expect! Rode great on Saturday practice but you were so tired on Sunday. Had to make you eat. If you want it you have to help yourself! Didn't fall off this weekend and rode well at times.

6.6.10 Well we will write this one off to experience, poorly graded and prepared track, Jordan not with it. Forgotten already.

22 & 23.5.10 Jordan was riding really well kept getting towards top 10 11th 12th 14th's etc then fell. 20th Overall wasn't bad would have finished in top 15 if you could stay on!

15 & 16.5.10 Jordan you were awesome in Qualifying 15th but tried too hard in the races crashing everywhere. However now found out that the shock was serviced wrongly and set up for someone 12 stone not 5. Put that one down to experience.

8 & 9.5.10 Jordan you were awesome so fast you were great, aggressive it looks like it is going to happen now. Ok you crashed three times whilst in top 10 but with over 20 national riders I am well happy with your riding not really bothered with the overall although 14th is fine, top 10 was what you deserved. Riding fast the falls will stop as you get stronger, well done great effort!

2.5.10 Jordan rode great today after a fall in the first race spolit the overall. 2nd and 3rd race good solid races riding great. Well done.

17 & 18.4.10 Jordan was good after he crashed in all races. Got up into top 15 and then rode scared. I saw a lot of good stuff this weekend though, if he can get over the nerves he will run top 15 easy. Fourth race hit gate then crashed on whoops came from 1/4 lap off last through to 22nd out of 40. In last got to 13th then realised where he was and froze went back to 21st. Jordan you will get there keep up the good work you rode well this weekend again positions don't tell the full story. Proud of you son!

11.4.10 Jordan was good in the first race then went off the boil as I think he got tired as we just returned from holiday. Great start in second race though the potential is there so keep it up son. First hard pack for 7 months so expect a little wareiness.

27 & 28.3.10 Jordan was great in qualifying just 4 seconds off top 10 on a near 3 minute lap then things just did not go right. 1st Race 6 riders went down on first straight including Jordan and Jordan's power value got damaged. Chased from last to 17th then bike was really sick ended 23rd. Horrenous first lap crash into the back of Jamie Osborne whilst 12th when Jamies clutch expired and lost a near lap then fell a further twice trying to catch up. I think this upset him for the rest of the meeting as he wasn't the same after that. Second day and hoping for a better day but crashed many times in each race whilst riding through from bad starts. Last race crashed four times on last lap lost 6 places. Good effort son just was not our weekend. Lets hope this is all the bad luck for the season in one weekend. You were fast enough for a top 15 finish. Lap times are all wth a fall.

6&7.3.10 Jordan rode fantastic a little eagar though and cost a top ten finish. First race great from 21st to 9th. Second race went from 33rd to 8th on first lap then crashed remounted way down up to 11th then crashed over the bars and kinked the throttle cable in three places. Had to crawl to the finish with the throttle at full chat to get points for 29th. Last race crashed 5 times, had to plead with Jordan to slow down got into top 10 twice but crashed. Sunday saw a more consistent day but with really bad starts no better than 33rd rode fantastic to get back to the positions he did. Second race fell twice. Jordan you have really come on now you must get the starts to go with your riding then you will really mix it with the top national lads. 15th Overall with that competition was great despite the falls no less than 17 regular national lads and all the fast ones. Well Done!


28.2.10 We went to Dunkirk last weekend practising and Jordan was on fire! Rode really well this week but conditions were against us. Both bikes had problems in practice and first race. They DNF's Jordan because I push the bike that broke down in practice back to pits after the end of the race he finished and they crossed him off score sheet. Didn't even know until we got home as they never put results up on the day. Put this one down to experience as the meeting was a JOKE! We won't be going back to Northampton again they are an embarressment to the sport!!!!!!!

7.2.10 We went to Dunkirk last weekend practising and Jordan rode really well. Today he was fantastic. His highest start was 15th. First race worked hard into to top 10 up to 7th then droped a place. In second he went from 16th on first corner up to 6th dropped it then chased through to 7th. In the last was he was just awesome. He gated nearly last went for inside on second corner and crashed into bank. From dead last (19th) he just tore up the place, he was on fire. On one corner he took four riders from 10th to 6th then managed to finish 5th. He was so fast he was up on the pace with top and I mean top national riders. Jordan you were just awesome today. I think you now have got it!

3.1.10 What a bad day Jordan is really struggling to get to grips with he deep sand. Clutch went in first, Jordan was wrongly flagged as winner in second got flagged of into pits then the carried on. Still haven't put Jordan back where he was. Last race crashed all over the place don't know what to do! Meeting was poorly run.
