February 15, 2022 · Jumpflex® Athletes

Jed is from Taupo, New Zealand. He is 34 years old and has been riding BMX for 20 years. Jed's greatest attributes are whatever he is doing he gives 110% to be the best he can be, thinks outside the box and has the special drive to live passionately and follow his heart.

In 2011 Jed changed his life and the sport of BMX forever. He saw an opening in the sport, no one was jumping massive jumps! So he went and made some of the biggest jumps ever in action sports and successfully landed the worlds first triple back flip on a BMX. The video went viral clocking up over 2 million views over night.

Jed's accomplishment on this project made him an over night international super star and gave him the credentials to rock it with the best. In 2013 Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Circus came to New Zealand and recruited him for the NZ tour. From there he made such a powerful impact on the Nitro Family that he was instantly signed to the world tour. He has now racked up over 300 live shows all over the world.

Jed's drive to go bigger accelerated. In 2015 he stepped it up. He broke his own Guiness World Record and became the first person to achieve a quadruple back flip. From there Jed re focused his drive from his own personal progression to the want to help others. He then created and developed the Franklin Farm in Tokoroa. He did so to give back to the healthy outdoor lifestyle he so dearly loves and owes his life too to help others and enable them the same opportunities he has had.
