Jack said he felt lucky to have been successful in his BMX career and now he wanted to give back to the community where it all started.
“Being from Bundaberg myself and starting my BMX career there at the age of 16, I noticed there was never really any events or anything for us to look forward to,” Jack said.
“After traveling the world riding contests and shows in front of thousands of people, sometimes it’s crazy for me to think it all started just riding my bike around Bundy skate park.
“The Bundaberg community has always shown me a lot of love and support, so it only feels right for me to give back to my town.
“Last year I hosted the #4670 Jam for the first time and the turnout was incredible. I’m looking forward to making sure the 2017 event is bigger and better.
“I want the day to be fun for everyone. Even if you don’t ride come down, check it out and enjoy the show.”
