Jarryd McNeil - Throwing Whips and Moving Dirt

Riders Lounge Podcast - Freeride / Freestyle Motocross and Action Sports

Buckle up! This is one rip snorter of a Riders Lounge Podcast interview with one of Australia’s greatest motocross exports who has completely taken the disciplines of Best Whip and Step-Up to new levels and he is clearly not scared to call a spade a bloody shovel.

Actually today, you’re going to be educated on the history of Freestyle Motocross.

As the intro goes… the first ever backflip on a dirt bike was not actually done by Carey Hart.

I am like 99.9999% of you who definitely followed the narrative of early 2000s FMX that Carey Hart at least attempted it first (and I guess the industry is divided on who actually LANDED it first between Hart and Caleb Wyatt who rode away) and while I heard rumours way back in the day that someone else had tried it, I didn’t believe it until I saw it. 20 years later… here we are.

Jarryd actually blew me away during the middle of this Podcast – I had no idea and I wasn’t really going to believe him until he sent me through a video showing it. So that completely came out of the blue and I didn’t expect in this interview but I’ll upload the video and you can see for yourself.

But the real reason I wanted to catch up with Jarryd was to talk about moving dirt. I don’t think I have seen another rider so passionate about machines, excavators, skid steers, dozers, loaders, dumpers or anything else that can move tonnes of dirt and make jumps.

Oh, and talk about Whips! Lots of Whips!
