Stuntwars 2007
I did it! All of my training for Stuntwars paid off! I pulled off something remarkable, finishing 1st place in both Individual Freestyle and Team Event. This victory was a huge accomplishment for me. The list of registrants included some of the most talented riders in the world. I was competing up against world champions such as factory BMW / Red Bull’s branded rider Christian Pfeiffer and Europe’s Godfather of the sport AC Farias, plus over 100 entry’s that included top riders from the USA.
The Individual freestyle comp was off the hook, the most difficult one yet. My run was flawless; I nailed all my tricks and didn’t make any mistakes. I knew I had to throw down my best run ever to compete with Pfeiffer and AC. In the finals, Christian Pfeiffer and I tied for 1st place. This has never been done before. To satisfy the crowd we agreed to go back out and battle once again for a tie breaker! Pfeiffer went out first, he rode very well but made some mistakes. I couldn’t believe it, the 15,000 fans were going absolutely nuts. The pressure was really on; I went out last and threw down a clean run, didn’t make any mistakes and scored high enough to beat out the world champion by ½ a point.
The Team Freestyle run was also outstanding. Our team’s name - “Five Men and a Baby”. This included the “Men” - Dan Jackson, Kane, Joe Dryden, Nick Apex, E-Dub Ernie, and the “Baby” - 15 yr old rider Aaron Colton. We worked hard during the week to choreograph a run. Not having a place to practice together we had to go through our run in our head. Sometimes walking through our run in the pits to mimic what it would be like on the track. In the end, all the hard work paid off, we worked together as a team and rode together as a team, resulting with another 1st Place finish!
This is a great way to kick the year off! I plan to keep the ball rolling, my next comp is Feb 10th in San Antonio, Texas. Inside the Alamo Dome during a IFMA FMX event with 40,000+ fans!
I want to thank all of you again for the support! Without you it wouldnt be possible!
Thanks, Dan Jackson – Team XMX

Saturday Oct. 7th was the 3rd annual CTC charity ride. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day, it was perfect, 85 degrees and sunny! Around 200 bikes came out for the ride. This was pretty good, considering Kansas City had 4 other charity rides that were planned the same day. With all the participants who signed up, we raised a little over $3100 for the Ronald McDonald House. This donation will go along way, helping all the children and family's who stay at the RMHC. I want to thank all of those who sponsored the ride and those who donated items for the raffle. The ride wouldn't have been such a success without your support! We are already looking forward to a 4th annual ride next year!!! A strong mind. A strong body. And a safe, supportive place to grow. These are things that every child needs - and deserves. Helping to provide these things is what we do.
Sincerely - Dan & Kortney
Below is a link to a few pics of the ride, thanks to DJ Starscream a.k.a. Sid #0 with Slipknot
for coming out and providing entertainment during the GO FAST after party!

RIDE INFORMATION - All BIKERS WELCOME
Start Location: Hooters, 119th Strang Line Road, Olathe, KS 66062
Date: Saturday October 7th, 2006
Registration: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM,

Contact Info: Dan Jackson - 913.221.5848 or Lorenzo Butler 816.820.7983
October is just around the corner and the 7th is the date set for our 3rd annual "CTC" ride. The last two years have been very successful. The number of motorcycle participants tallying close to 750 riders with over 500 bike entrys, raising a total over $4,000 for the Ronald McDonald Charity. This year's charity will again benefit the "Ronald McDonald House Charity" and will start and stop at the Hooters in Olathe, KS. (119th & Strangline Rd by AMC Studio 30) Purpose and Goals for the Ride - At Ronald McDonald House Charities, they strive to reduce the burden of childhood illness on children and their families. They provide temporary lodging in a home-like setting with private bedrooms, as well as dining, kitchen and recreational areas. Ronald McDonald House Charities cannot cure a child, but it can alleviate the worry and expense of finding a close, comfortable and affordable place for the family to stay. And, that can make a world of difference to a child bravely battling an illness. Last years event included an 80 mile motorcycle ride that looped around the city, breakfast was available before the ride at Danny's Bar & Grill, live entertainment, free prizes, food and beverages after the ride for those who donated at Smithers Customs Motorcycle Shop in Olathe. This year we are hoping to have a similar ride except with the start and stop point at the same location.

*** Proud New Sponsor - EVS-Sports ***
Check out the new gear offered by EVS-Sports at www.evs-sports.com
EVS-Sports is now a proud sponsor of Team XMX. I want to give a special thanks to Brady over at EVS-Sports for supporting what I do best. Stunt Riding!!! EVS-Sports offers the Best Protective Gear for your body. I wont ever step foot on my bikes again without EVS-Sports Knee/Shin guards. I cant remember the last time I had a bruise on my knee and lower leg over the past year!!! Thank you EVS for keeping me safe! Heres a little story about EVS-SPORTS...
THE EVS STORY...
The year was 1985... in a cloud of dust, a loud crash and the agonizing screams of pain and defeat. Everyday people that push the limits surround themselves with outcomes like this. This is what makes an “EXTREME” athlete, an individual that shows no bounds and is willing to put it all on the line. So what does an athlete do that is always putting them self at risk of injury ... they find quality protective gear. As the story goes, a motocross rider that injured his knee one too many times decided that the everyday pain he was going through was enough! Out of this an idea was born, I'll make a product that will protect my knees while I ride. This was the birth of genius and a company that is focused on keeping riders in one piece. The original product, the AMX-5 knee brace, which has been worn by some of the world's most prestigious athletes was the building block for today's most complete extreme protection product line ever. And with extreme athletes plagued by the injuries of increased speed and fierce competition....EVS product development was excelerated. Several catalogs later and yes, more seasoned staff, EVS pressed onward. The product line growing, extreme sports gaining in popularity, and key alliances being formed with the likes of Parts Unlimited, Tucker Rocky, MC Stuff , Gary "Professor" Bailey, Travis Pastrana and other top athletes, EVS was on the move. With the same dedication extreme athletes put into their sport and the endless moments of sweat, blood and tears.......EVS has spent the past 2 decades solely focused on the safety of you.
Don't be a fan.....be a player.

National champion stunt biker set up local charity ride
By Garth Sears, Special to The Olathe News
At first glance, Dan Jackson is average. He has a house in Olathe, where he has lived for about eight years. He works at a local phone company. He gives back to the community. He's 28 years old and has aspirations for the future. But a deeper look reveals that Jackson is anything but average. He has a wild side. While he's doing complex stunts on a motorcycle, often in midair, people call him "Crazy Dan." He tours the country, from California to Texas and Florida to Pennsylvania, participating in what he calls "freestyle sportbike riding." His stunts are dangerous, but he's got them down cold. In 2002, Jackson was the National Sportsbike Freestyle Champion runner-up. A year later, he took the title for himself. But it isn't easy having his hobby. Since he works Monday through Friday, but does shows hundreds of miles away on the weekends, he maintains a hectic schedule and makes many sacrifices. "Pretty much all my vacation time I use traveling around. I try to do stuff every weekend," Jackson said. "I drive all night to get somewhere on Friday night, do a show, competition on Saturday, and Sunday drive straight home. "All my vacation is spent driving the truck somewhere. I'm an adrenaline junkie, I guess." Despite his busy life, though, Jackson's trying to raise more support for himself around Kansas City. "I'm trying to promote myself to get more credibility locally, instead of all this national stuff I've been doing," Jackson said, "so I can do more stuff for people here." Some of that "stuff" includes setting up charity bike rides in Olathe, similar to "Bikers for Babies." A few years ago, Jackson set up a charity ride called "Circle the City" charity ride. The event raised over $4,000, which was donated to the Ronald McDonald House. This year, the third annual ride, will start in Olathe on September 23, wend through the wider Kansas City metro area, and finish back in Olathe. As for Jackson, he's still got a lot on his plate with a stunt-bike rider. He's booked with shows all summer, up until the ride. ESPN's X-Games are considering adding his sport to their competitions, he said. Jackson also maintains two websites. One, teamxmx.com, is his official website. Another, learntostunt.com, is "an online school for teaching people how to ride," he said. He even may eventually open an extreme sports bar and grill in Olathe. Indeed, Dan Jackson is anything but average. Smithers Customs of Olathe currently sponsors the Circle the City ride. Others interested in sponsorship for or participatation in the ride should contact Kortney Nelson at info@teamxmx.com or call (913) 221-5848.

Back under the Knife! I had kneed surgery on Friday to remove the screws in my femur. Before I went in I was very excited about this surgery. Having the screws removed from my leg was going to alow for better mobility in my knee. Well, it didnt go so good! Waking up after surgery the doctor tels me that one of the screws was stripped out while being put in and he wasnt able to remove one. Now Im left with a screw in my knee, which means this fall when the rod was supposed to be removed, probably will not happen.
To be continued in the fall...

"A Few Loose Screws II" - Movie Trailer
August 14th, 2005
this past week has been nuts! i went out to travis's house to learn the back flip and to back flip my streetbike into his pit and get some nutty footage for "A Few Loose Screws II" It was off the hook, never a boring moment at travis's house. got to hang out with alot of cool riders...pro skateboarder Ryan Sheckler fmx star Cowboy Kenny Bartram, Andy Bell, the nitro III film crew, plus many many more. His place is like a mad house. People are coming and going non stop! The riding and insane stunts Travis and his crew were doing for Nitro Circus III were CRAZY! Im glad I made it back to KC in one piece. Unfortunately my friend Ben Smolen who helped with filming and the drive out there didnt make it back with me today because he is in the hospital. He is in Baltimore Shock trauma with a broken femur, a huge gash in his chin, severe bruises, and is in a lot of pain. After I pulled off the flip a few times, he decided to give it a try. His 1st attempt was pretty good. He got upside down 1/2 way and landed on his head. His 2nd attempt wasnt so good. We told him to hit it a little faster and to pull harder. Well thats exactly what he did.....only he went to the right! He launched off the ramp, totally missing the pit and landed on top of the bob cat used to pull the bikes out. (I seriously thought my friend just died) It was the sickest crash to witness in real life. The whole crash is on film and will be featured in AFLS II and Nitro 3! You won't want to miss out on this one! I want to wish Ben a speedy recovery on this mishap! I know hes going through alot of pain right now and will be for the next few months! Everyone please keep him in your thoughts! Dan
Thanks Again Travis for the hospitality and making us feel right at home this past week! Learning the backflip was amazing along with all the other insane stunts that were pulled off! Nitro Circus III is going to kick ass!
Heres a pic of my 1st backflip attempt...I made it all the way thanks to travis and his advice!

There were almost 46,000 people on hand at Houston's Reliant Stadium, (where the Houston Texans NFL football team plays). The stadium capacity is 75,000 but when the XSBA riders took to the floor under spotlights and fireworks on Saturday night you would have thought that the stadium was at capacity. Eight of the XSBA's hottest stars were on hand to put on the 1st ever street freestyle feature show inside a dome or arena. The concrete surface was prepared and had adequate traction, however as the night went on, the surface became less functional. Despite the slick surface, the riders put on a show that was beyond amazing as the crowd lit up with every acrobatic maneuver... ending with a 50' endo by Teach (McNeil), which by the crowd reaction, you would have thought that he did a back-flip. Thomas Evans was rockin' the microphone with Lurch, and did a great job with the color commentary. Everyone had a great time at the pit party which opened prior to the show. The XSBA riders signed autographs for 1.5 hours before opening ceremonies and another 1.5 hours after lasting until almost 1:00 in the morning. The crowd had a great time and took to the sport very well... so we expect big things for the future. XSBA would like to thank everyone who supported the Houston XSBA event, the riders, photographers, regional and national media, sponsors, and especially the fans who turned out in force. Your energy was contagious! The final competition order:
(name / score)
1. Pat Stephens (92.0) Hon929
2. Chris McNeil (91.9) Kaw636
3. Tony D'Orsi (91.1) Hon900
4. Grant Sunday (90.6) Suz600
5. Kane Friesen (88.7) Suz1000
6. Ronnie Hurst (87.6) Suz1000
7. Dan Jackson (87.0) Hon954
8. Warren James (86.0) Suz929
Stay tuned for other potential Clear Channel events in which the XSBA may be included, such as ramp-to-ramp FMX (non-dirt) programs, Monster Truck Thunder Nationals (non-dirt), and CCE/NBC's newly formed Dew Action Sports Tour events in Louisville, Denver, Portland, San Jose, and/or Orlando.

January 22nd 2005 - US Freestyle competition at Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX
Saturday night January 22nd, 8 of the U.S.’s top street freestyle riders will be competing for a $10,000 purse inside of Houston’s Reliant Stadium. The event is sanctioned by Clear Channel's XSBA and will be held in conjunction with Clear Channel's Freestyle MX program. It will also include Motard Fiddy (50cc) races, and Shifter Kart races. This event is invite only and there will be representatives from Clear Channel's Mountain Dew Action Sports Tour (formerly Gravity Games) attending the event. Due to time and space restraints, the opportunity for open qualifying sessions for other riders did not present itself as a feasible option. The riders were chosen based on prior involvement in the XSBA, availability, commitment, and overall riding capabilities. Many capable riders were discussed, however the final 8 competitors that were chosen are as follows: ‘Crazy’ Dan Jackson - (2003 XSBA National Champion), Patrick Stephens Freestyle, Tony D Freestyle, Chris ‘Teach’ McNeil, Ronnie ‘The Hitman’ Hurst, Grant Sunday KC's Most Wanted, Warren James, KaneOne

Just got home from a weekend trip down south (Dallas, TX) to ride in the warm weather. I want to thank Shugga and Patrick Stephens for giving us a place to crash. The weather was pimp for riding on Saturday, but decided to rain alittle on Sunday. That didnt stop us from riding...it was still over 60 degrees. Saturday was CRAZY, on the way out to the riding spot, Patrick decided to pick up a BUM hitch hiking off I-35. We bought him some beer and fed him some food and then filmed with him all day. It was great! We got some hella funny footage of him riding on the back of bikes, riding the fiddy's and even captured his first wheelie crash on the 400EX. At first I thought we killed him cause he didnt move, then he came to and just complained about his back hurting. I gave him a few vic's and that set him straight. Footage of all this will be featured in Patrick Stephens part 2 video release... PSF 2, and im sure a few shots will be thrown in to A Few Loose Screws II. Both are to be released sometime in 2005!

"Ride of the Century" St. Louis, Mo hosted by the Streetfighterz (www.streetfighterz.com) Whoaaaaa, what a weekend! We didnt get out of KC until 7:30pm on Friday, so we arrived into downtown St. Louis around 11:30pm. This is when all the madness started! The Streetfighterz had a special VIP party for all the stunters set up at this bar called "The Drink". Thats pretty much what we did. And did alot of it! Party'd it up with everyone...the Starboyz, Streetfighterz, KCMW, Shockers, PBZ, New York boyz, Drew Stone, all the girls, and the locals. It was off the hook. Saturday, everyone woke up feeling like ass! Most of us made it up in time for breakfast at the Embassy. The food was great! After breakfast everyone pretty much got ready for the RIDE and then chilled over at Vaghn's house. This part of the day really sucked! Everyone was still hurting from all the alcohol and the hangovers that were not going away. Around 3:30 we all met downtown St. Louis in front of the Arch for the ride. Over 500 bikes showed up along with stunt teams from all over the country. A few riders even made the trip down from Canada. (www.uponone.com) The ride was nuts, all the lead bikes ripped it up for miles on the rear wheel. I rocked the helmet cam and captured alot of pimp wheelies along the way. After the ride everyone was hungry so we bailed pretty fast and went down the the landing area and ate a nice dinner at Jake's Steaks. After dinner everyone was tired and full, so we ended up crashing back at the hotel for a few hours. Then, it was that time again, time to head out to the landing area and meet up for some drinks with at "The Drink" It was ruff at first, but after a few drinks the hangovers had washed away and all the madness would start all over again. Sunday morning check out time was at noon! I missed breakfast and didnt wake up tel 11:59. Everyone was really hurting , we had to pack up really fast. We werent to worried about the check out time, but the fact that everyone was meeting downtown in front of the Arch at noon to ride had us in a hurry! After about a 100 point turn in the parking lot (all the Rams fans were tailgating) we managed to get the truck and trailer out of the lot and on the road. We met up with everyone and headed out to a secret Industrial Park where the streetfighterz practice. Around 50 bikes showed up and it turned out to be a pretty sweet day. Johnny of KCMW had a little get off on a stoppie crash, but other then that it was a safe day of riding and turned out to be a excellent day for riding! Drew stone was onsite filming for his next Urban Streetbike film. Kortney and I ran the cameras too and got alot of pimp shots for A Few Loose Screws part II as well. After the long day of riding, we stopped off in St. Louie for a quick bite and then voyaged back across the state for home to Kansas City. Check out this link to see all the pics from the trip!

Kort and I drove down to RMHC today and presented the Ronald McDonald House with all the donations from the "Circle the City" ride! Total donations came to $3,824.00! I hadn't put in my own donation yet, so I donated $176.00 to bring the grand total up to an even $4,000.00!!! The staff at RMHC were excited and very appreciative of the ride. I myself want to thank everyone for comming out! I'd say close to 500 bikes showed up for this charity event, and it took all of us working together to provide this large donation! I also want to thank everyone who helped with the ride... Smithers Customs, Red Bull, Dannys Bar & Grill, Olathe Suzuki, Ferodo, Sha-Sha Fine Shoes, LBZ, KC Sportbike, Copa Racing, Alpinestars, Impact Video, Tantalus, KC's Mostwanted, everyone that helped pass out flyers and everyone else for coming out for the ride!

Sunday was my 1st time on the bike since April 4th! (broken femur on the 5th) I tell ya, it felt good to finally be back on the street bike again. Its been a long summer sitting at home wishing I could throw my leg over a bike and ride! Sunday, that time finally came around at a show up in Waterloo, Ia! I blew off the cobwebs, put some gas in the 954 and decided to tear it up! I really didnt get to crazy on the bike, basiclly I just cruised around for 30 minutes doing slow wheelies and a few burnouts here and there! Heck, it felt like I was just on the bike a few days ago! After about 5 min on the bike, I decided to pop some wheelies! I was busting out stand up no-handers and slow 12 combo's within minutes. I cant wait for the knee to get full movment and really start practicing. Right now I can only bend my knee 103 degrees. I need 145 degrees to reach full movement! I was unable to sit down on the 954 and ride. I had to stand up the entire time! LOL
I want to thank Johnny, Mikey, and Aaron from the KC's Mostwanted stunt team for performing for me this weekend! They put on one heck of a show for the Harley Davidson Battletrax Event up in Waterloo, IA. I look forward to riding with all of them and a few others this weeknd for my 2nd annual Circle the City Charity Ride! Heres a link to the pics from the show up in Waterloo: Waterloo, IA Battletrax Pics
