The Aussie FMX crew did our country proud at the 2016 Austin X Games, bringing home silverware in every Moto X competition.

Step Up

In the epic spectacle that is Moto X Step Up, Australia’s Jarryd McNeil boosted to a height of 33 feet (10m) to claim equal first with Czech Republic rider Libor Podmol. McNeil beat some big FMX names to win Gold including Nate Adams and Ronnie Renner.

Best Trick

Moto X Best Trick was again an Australian white-wash. Jackson Strong stomped a front flip to win the Gold while second place finisher Josh Sheehan pulled a double backflip. You know the level of FMX is getting ridiculous when a double backflip doesn’t win best trick! Clinton Moore claim third.

Moto X Quaterpipe

France’s Tomas Page was the only rider to put a stop to the Aussie domination at the 2016 X Games. Page won Gold in the Moto X Quaterpipe competition with a BMX-like “Flair”, backflip 180. The insane trick gave Page the win, ahead of Aussie riders Josh Sheehan and Clinton Moore.
