[citation needed] Jordan is a 40-year-old native of Denton, Texas and the only child of single mom, Peggy Aitken.

[citation needed] Though he put his education on hold, Jordan plans to go to college and get an engineering degree.

Jordan makes the "tips" that skaters wear on their fingers for when they put their left hands on the ice on turns.

Jordan Malone now supplies much of the national team, at cost, and sells tips to other skaters to make his money back on the initial investment.

Jordan began inline speed skating in 1990 at the age of 5, and participated in his first international race in 1995.

Jordan left the sport of Inline with a total of 8 Junior and 6 Senior World Championship titles.

She also spent years driving Jordan to practices and meets, including a two-hour trip to Waco, Texas every weekend.

First, while warming up at a meet, Jordan slipped and his left foot hit the boards and twisted, resulting in a spiral fracture.

Jordan spent four months in a walking cast, during which he could only train by riding a bike or running in water.

When Jordan woke up in a hospital in Switzerland, they told him he broke his upper jaw, lost four teeth, and had been convulsing during the 20 minutes it took to stabilize him at the scene.

He is the first skater (still the only male) to ever qualify for both Inline and Short Track World Teams, and he did so in consecutive years.
