Stenberg Whips It Good In Moto X Best Whip

“Twitch” Wins As Fan Favorite in Text-To-Vote Competition

 

California’s Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg threw it sideways with style Friday to reclaim the X Games gold for the second year in Moto X Best Whip at the STAPLES Center.

“I’m not going to lie, it feels pretty awesome. I’m pumped to come back and get my second gold medal and win this. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time,” Stenberg said.

The win marked Stenberg’s ninth X Games medal in his 13th year of competing at the event.

Jarryd McNeil threw his bike with some solid extension to take the X Games silver, his third medal in the best whip competition after a bronze in 2011 and silver in 2010.

Todd Potter, who has taken home three X Games golds in Moto X Best Whip, took home the bronze.

In Moto X Best Whip, riders showcase their ability to throw a 350-pound machine sideways and bring it back with  style  in a 10-minute  jam  format.   This  discipline  is 100 percent  fan judged,  and their  best attempt is voted in via test message.
