How I got started

MY DAD PUT ME ON A SUZUKI JR50 WHEN I WAS 3. WE STARTED RACING ENDUROS BACK IN THE EARLY 80`S.

Goals for the Future

I HOPE THAT I CAN HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON EVERYONE THAT I MEET. THIS GOD GIVEN TALENT THAT I HAVE TO RACE FLATTRACK THE WAY I DO IS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. I DIDN'T REALIZE WHY EXACTLY I COULD RIDE AS WELL AS I DO UNTIL I BEGAN TO TALK TO A LOT OF THE FANS AND I REALIZED THAT WHAT I WAS DOING WAS EXTREMELY INSPIRING FOR THEM. ONE GUY HAD SUGGESTED I SPEAK WITH DISABLED CHILDREN AS KIND OF A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER. WHAT A GREAT IDEA!! I SPENT A LOT OF TIME AT SHRINER'S HOSPITAL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I AM NO STRANGER TO SURGERY AND I GUESS THAT HAS HELPED ME BE A STRONGER INDIVIDUAL. I DON'T RACE LIKE MOST RACERS DO BECAUSE I'M NOT MOST RACERS....I'M JASON GRIFFIN....SOON TO BE NATIONAL NUMBER ???. SO LOOK OUT!!!!!!!

What inspires you to compete?

I STARTED COMPETING AFTER LOSING MY YOUNGER BROTHER, WHO RACED THE BIKE I`M CURRENTLY RACING, IN 2005 AND WILL CONTINUE TO COMPETE BECAUSE I ENJOY WHAT I DO AND IT SEEEMS TO INSPIRE A LOT OF PEOPLE RACING WITH ONLY ONE ARM. MY GOAL IS TO BECOME THE FIRST AMPUTEE GRAND NATIONAL RIDER IN AMA HISTORY.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I RACE EVERY WEEKEND. I PLAN ON ATTENDING MEDICAL SCHOOL AND BECOME AN OPTOMETRIST. WHEN IM NOT RACING OR STUDYING, IM IN THE GYM OR MOUNTAIN BIKING.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I WILL BE AN OPTOMETRIST, GOD WILLING AND THE FIRST AMPUTEE GNC RIDER IN THE HISTORY OF AMA.
