Jordan Thackeray kicked off 2021 by landing our first cover with a ridiculous channel ollie at Daveside DIY in Bristol, and from there, the phenomenally talented Essex native spent the year getting reacquainted with transitions the world over, as he came back from a knee blowout in 2020. By the time summer came around, it's safe to say that Jordan was back operating on close to 100% again, as he floated his way around the country, attending (and winning) a variety of events, and jumping on board any and every road trip available.
Have a scroll below for some of Jordan's assembled highlights of 2021, and - as always - keep an eye out for him and his trademark transition annihilation as the country begins to thaw...
