Jakob got started in the sport thanks to his parents, who were both passionate mountain bikers and still ride today.
For him, it was natural to go out riding with them while growing up—and once he discovered downhill, he was hooked. Stevie Smith was Jakob’s biggest inspiration as a kid. He realized Stevie was just a normal guy from the same part of the world, and that showed him if you put your head down and work hard, anything is possible. Jakob’s daily routine includes hitting the gym in the morning, riding or trail building during the day, and finishing with a sauna at home. His favorite place to ride is Squamish, B.C., where endless trails and new ones popping up keep things exciting. He never gets bored!
