Jordan Roberts

Jordan Roberts was born and raised in Niles, Michigan, fifteen minutes away from the motocross mecca RedBud Track N' Trail. To not be an avid motocross enthusiast would be like growing up in Pittsburgh and not owning a Terrible Towel. Jordan can be considered somewhat of a historian of the sport since his first Yamaha minibike was sold old it had "metals" instead of plastics. This would be acceptable if he grew up in the 60s or 70s, but unfortunately, the year was 1996. From an early age he decided he needed to go to college if he ever wanted to earn a salary high enough to afford a dirtbike from the 21st century. Roughly a decade later, Jordan enrolled at Central Michigan University where he would later earn a B.S. (not that kind) degree in Marketing. An internship with Racer X eventually evolved into a full-time position where he now contributes to the magazine and website, is Editor and Art Director for The Racing Paper, and runs the Racer X booth at most supercross races and outdoor nationals.
