Jackie Ives’s Career Highlights

Jackie’s from Exeter, California, where her dad (Mark) used to race dirt bikes when he was younger. After watching her dad race, Jackie decided she wanted to ride a dirt bike – before she even learned how to ride a bicycle!

So, her dad got her started riding out in the California desert when she was five years old, on an ‘old school’ Suzuki RM50 two-stroke, complete with the metal gas tank. When Jackie was 14 years old, her dad traded some landscaping work for a brand new 2001 Honda CR85

In 2008 she was named the ‘WMA Amateur of the Year’.

In 2009 she made her professional debut. Her best overall finish that year was at High Point Raceway in Pennsylvania – 10th overall. At the end of the season, Jackie finished 17th overall in the point standings and was nominated for ‘TWMX Female Rookie of the Year’, along with Sara Price and Vicki Golden.
