Eliot Jackson is a former professional Downhill Biker and World Cup Racer, and a Red Bull Presenter. He is also the Founder of the Grow Cycling Foundation, and the CEO and Founder of Reggy, an online discovery platform for mountain biking race/ride events. On Reggy, you can also connect with other riders and with the MTB community at large.
Eliot grew up in Oklahoma and would later move to California. At a very early age, he was infatuated with motocross, a passion he shared with his brother. Splitting his time between summers in Oklahoma and winters in California, he competed in several championships and claiming several titles along the way.
At the age of 18, he decided to try out another sport: mountain biking. There was no stopping his thirst for competition, and for the next 12 years, Eliot participated in many US and World championships. In 2015, he finished 2nd in the Pro Downhill Class at Crankworx New Zealand.
Despite constant riding and competitions, Eliot worked on other projects in tandem. He pursued a degree in computer science and started his own music recording studio. Seeking to combine his love for the mountain biking community, his programming skills and a desire for entrepreneurship, Eliot created Reggy, where he hopes to inspire and help connect the next generation of racing and riding enthusiasts.
