With Pat Moore (featured in issue 12.4) busy, Jake Welch took the reins and headed the adventure for this episode of “Blueprint.” Jake teams up with John Jackson, a legendary rider who spent the past two seasons unable to ride due to an injury. Jackson gives insight to a rider’s recovery process, in aspects both mental and physical. Although he claims the transition back into filming at such a high level is intimidating and difficult, the footage of him riding doesn’t show it.
