Jackson Goldstone
You’ve seen the viral video of the pre-school-aged sensation shredding his balance bike to school, but that was just the preface of what Jackson Goldstone was poised to accomplish on a mountain bike. Still early in his riding and racing career, Jackson’s skill and savvy on two wheels is years beyond what his age may indicate. As a first-year Elite racer, the Santa Cruz Syndicate team member won two World Cups and finished 2nd overall in points (only missing out on a chance for the overall because of a flat at Snowshoe) in 2023. His home-country victory at Mount Saint Anne marked a highlight in the young rider's career, but the next few years promise more of the same.
