Jared
Jared became serious about mountain biking in 2010. He grew up skateboarding and snowboarding across Wisconsin and Illinois. His love of snowboarding brought him to the Alpine Valley Resort in East Troy, Wisconsin where he instructed at their ski/snowboard school for 10 years. Jared is aggressively playful on the trail. He enjoys fast flowy downhill with drops and features to chunky, rocky technical terrain.

Both Kelly and Jared owned and managed Lake Superior Gravity Series (LSGS) from 2018-2024, where they handled the overall scoring and promotion of the series. They also promote the events across the upper Midwest, encouraging riders to experience the various trail systems.
