WMX racer Jordan Jarvis is living a dream deferred
If the WMX series had not taken a four-year hiatus from 2020 through 2023, Jordan Jarvis' stats would rival those of Lachlan Turner.
Jordan Jarvis, a racer in the Women's Motocross series (WMX), has experienced a career defined by missed opportunities and perseverance. As the golden era of Women's Pro Motocross Championship (WMX) concluded in 2009, Jarvis was still too young to compete. Despite being a pre-teen, she began making a name for herself and went on to win the WMX Championship in 2018.
She also won the Loretta Lynn's Women's (12+) championship in the same year. However, the WMX went on a four-year hiatus, and by the time it returned in 2018, Jarvis was too young to compete in the previous years. Jarvis has since competed against men and qualified for a men's 250 Pro Motocross race in 2020, becoming the first woman to do so.
In the 2025 season, Jarvis finished sixth or better in all but one moto, a performance that led to one of the most exciting races in WMX history. She ended the season with two podium finishes and a fifth-place finish in the season finale at Budds Creek. Looking ahead, Jarvis aims to improve her training and strength to climb higher in the WMX Championship.
