Richard Irwin may 2004 : All I can remember of Jason was him jumping us in the park where he grew up in Bristol (Hillfields Park or the Rec as it was known). I was the smallest at the age of eight and was made to be the last in a line of 22 people side by side, but Jason cleared us easily every time from a two brick high ramp. It was not until just a few years ago that I discovered who that BMX champ is, WOW.

1997 Cover and interview : Ride US #27 may 1997.

After his interview in Ride, Jason Davies found himself a home on GT. Jason's now living in the US, and should be doing shows and contests all over the states.
Ride UK april 1997 : Jason Davies got a lot more than he bargained for during his usual Winter holiday in the USA: Powerlite [GT in other words] offered Jason a two year pro deal, with full salary and shows/tour, contests, and lodging at the GT house. Given that he's just perfected his ideal bike with KHE, the Beater, the choice was a tough one: but Jason has always wanted to live the pro life, ride for a living, and live in America. So he took the deal and is signed up to ride for Powerlite USA until 1999! We wonder what KHE, who just spent $10,000 on tooling and jigs to make Jay's frame, think of it all...
