Travis Pastrana and his Nitro Circus took over the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas last weekend for the first time ever on US soil. Making the trek from Australia to the US to perform in front of a capacity crowd was Osiris’s own FMX whip master, Jarryd McNeil. During the show, 3-time defending X Games Biggest Whip Gold Medalist, Todd Potter, initiated a Best Whip contest with the crowd acting as judges. Potter and McNeil both laid down their own variation of the whip, but only one could win. In the end, fans roared with a standing ovation for McNeil, giving him the win over Todd Potter. This contest set the stage for what’s to come this summer in Los Angeles from Biggest Whip’s top competitors, because Potter doesn’t like losing and McNeil is on top of his game right now. Bring home the gold, McNeil. You can do it!
Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham broke down boundaries of what is humanly possible by landing the first ever front flip in a wheelchair on the Gigant-a-Ramp. Wheelz is a true inspiration to us all, showing the world that anything is possible with a positive mindset.
