Jordan fractured his T4 and 5 vertebrae and contused his spinal cord while mountain bike racing in the first ever Coeur d’Alene enduro bike race; a two-day event. On the second day of the competition, Jordan wanted to make sure that he practiced the finish line jump so that he wouldn’t do it blind in the race. Jordan rolled it once the night before, but that morning he carried far too much speed, and went well past the landing, thankfully he tucked his head before impact. Jordan was knocked out and knew his life would be taking a dramatic and frightening detour from the previous plan.
