He started riding trials at age 13, earned the #1 plate when he was 14, scored 55 wins in a row and was #1 four years in a row. In 1968, Jim switched to motocross, racing several days a week at Ascot, Saddleback, Carlsbad, and Bay Mare. In 1973, Honda hired him as a developmental rider to help refine their CR line.
