AIMING FOR TWO OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS
His father Geoff runs Arizona's KTR Family Action Sports Center, one of the nation's first dedicated skateboarding training facilities. It originally started as a skatepark built for Jagger and his older brother, Jett, when they decided as kids they wanted to focus on skateboarding instead of gymnastics. He describes himself as "beyond competitive. If you challenge me in golf or ping pong or pool or whatever it is, I'm gonna try and beat you." He aimed to compete in both street and park events at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo "because it's important to show from the start that it's possible. That's the point. I got told by everybody that this goal wasn't possible, and I want to say it is. I talked a lot about this with Shaun White. He said it was a lot like when he competed in slopestyle and also competed in pipe and how different it was. It's very hard to make both teams, and that is the goal. The goal is to win two Olympic gold medals." (forbes.com, 22 May 2021)

FAMOUS FAMILY
He and his siblings are all named after famous people, including older brother Jett [named after Joan Jett], younger brother Koston [after skateboarder Eric Koston] and his other siblings Bowie and Hendrix. "I don't think my parents wanted any of us to be rock stars, they just love music. Their first date was at a Rolling Stones concert." In his youth Jagger tried playing the guitar, but he had already broken both elbows due to skating, and couldn't hold it properly. "My dad was always okay with the risk [of getting hurt], but my mum's been through some stuff with us. Having eight broken bones before I was 13 - my mum had to deal with that."

At the 2012 X Games in Los Angeles, CA, United States of America he became the youngest competitor ever to take part in the X Games at the time, when he was age 11. (redbull.com, 24 Mar 2020)
