Jenn Jackson Leads US Pro Cup Series Following a Triple-Victory in Fayetteville!

Tuesday, April 9, 2024

Liv Factory Racing athlete Jenn Jackson earned her first-ever US Pro Cup wins, taking the top step all three days in an impressive sweep.

Jenn Jackson of Liv Factory Racing secured a remarkable triple-victory at the second US Pro Cup in Fayetteville. After achieving two podium finishes at the season opener in Temecula, Jackson and her Pique Advanced 29 prepared diligently in the Thousand Oaks area for the upcoming races in Arkansas.

Held in iconic Centennial Park, the courses featured elements like rock drops, punchy climbs, ledges, and roughly 500 feet of elevation gain per lap. Despite feeling less than optimal in the second XCO race, Jackson's performance exceeded expectations, propelling her to three consecutive wins and the lead in the US Cup Pro Series.

“The weekend couldn’t have gone any better,” Jackson remarked. “Three wins and the lead of the US Cup Pro Series! I came into this race-block aiming for podiums and eyeing the opportunity to get my first win, so we checked a lot of boxes.”

Commenting on the course, Jackson added that "while not particularly technical, the Fayetteville track is always high speed. You have to focus on where you can eke out the momentum, make those accelerations, and also avoid the sharp rocks which [historically] wreak havoc [here] every year.”

With good form and a bomber Pique Advanced 29 setup, Jackson accomplished what she had set out to do. Under dry, windy, and swift race conditions, Jackson expressed feeling “strong and composed standing on the climbs in the first two races,” a sentiment that was clearly reflected in her weekend-winning performance.
