About Jarryd
Aussie Jarryd McNeil is a 9-time XG medalist who has used his bike bending abilities to win two consecutive gold medals in Step Up. He was perfect in route to clearing 44 feet in 2017 and, had his challengers stayed in the contest, he had height to spare. He wants to top Ronnie Renner's 2012 record height of 47 feet. A former excavator, McNeil now lives in the United States and dates the daughter of off-road legend Destry Abbott. Will once again attempt to medal in 3 MTX disciplines: Best Whip, Step Up, QuarterPipe High Air. He crashed out of QuarterPipe High Air in 2017. No athlete ever has won 3 Moto X gold at the same X Games.
