When things get tough, sometimes they only seem to get tougher and that’s how the weekend went for SuperMotocross rider Jordan Jarvis at Daytona International Speedway.

Set to be the only female rider taking on the 2023 edition of the Ricky Carmicheal-designed Supercross course at Daytona International Speedway, Jarvis went into the weekend with high hopes, even though she only had the chance to train for Supercross since mid-October, unlike the top riders that have been training since October and racing for the last eight weeks.

Luck would not be on her side this weekend. The weight of her preparation lay heavy on her shoulders. During Media Day for the Daytona Supercross race, Jarvis made a mistake on a small jump when she missed her back brake pedal and was sent to the ground.

In the split-second decision, she pulled her arms in and the impact of the fall radiated through the bottom half of her arm and elbow.
