Monster Energy sat down with Jarryd McNeil to discuss the upcoming 2018 X Games in Minneapolis, Minnesota and get a feel for what it takes to compete on the biggest stage.
Jarryd McNeil, 26, Born in Kerang Australia, Step Up, Best Whip, Quarter Pipe
I've attended 8 and medaled 9 times, my first was LA 2010.
For us action sports riders its the olympics of our sport, especially growing up in Australia as a kid we dream about going to X Games!
Watching my mates compete in other events like BMX Big Air Kurtis Downs, FMX Best Trick Jacko Strong, Levi Sherwood, Rob Adelberg.
Just buckle down and practice as much as possible!
Nothing really special just run through the motions and make sure I feel comfortable on the ramps.
Not a lot of free time at X Games with 3 events, media and sponsors signings its pretty full on.
My Family won't make it to America this year but will be at Sydney Australia to support me but I will have my GF Kelsey and mechanic John there which is great!!
Can't wait to see Ryan Williams he is finally getting a chance to compete in X Games BMX big air.
Them all they are all in X Games because they are the best at what they do!!
Bikes are dialed!! Im riding two different bikes the Yamaha YZ450f for step up and the Yamaha YZ250 for best whip and quarter pipe.
You have to go up to come down lol so take off is important but land is also just as important because you have to ride away.
Don't have a speedo!!
Wish I could eat thats the hardest part about competing "nerves”.
Anything Rise Against!
Has always a dream to be in America at X Games but never thought it would actually become reality! Dreams do come true!
Always working on new projects at the McNeil Farm.
Nitro Circus touring America and Europe, Nitro world games, X Games Sydney and spending time at home.
I’d really like to thank Cam Sinclair, Blake “Bilko” Williams, Travis Pastrana and Mum and Dad.
Always gonna sent it!!
