Coming in second to Hansen was the “King” of Moto himself, Jeremy McGrath. Jeremy is unarguably one of the most famous dirt bikers ever and has been competing in the X Games since 2004. Winning the silver in the Moto X Racing Men’s final brings McGrath’s X Games medal tally to four.

McGrath had to fight for his silver medal, and succeeded by making a daring pass when he tucked inside of a turn towards the end of the race to pass Josh Grant. Grant held onto his position and came in third behind McGrath to win the bronze.

“Some of the fastest guys in the world were racing. I haven’t raced in a while so I’m pretty surprised to be up here,” McGrath said atop the podium. “The track was really slick and challenging to ride but I had fun. It’s all about having fun.”

As Geiger sailed through the checkered finish line, she pumped her fist in triumph. Both Cruse and Sik were also able to make their moves when Patterson bobbled, and overtook her for second and third place respectively.

“This is a great experience,” said Geiger. “I really like being the first girl to win gold. I don’t think it could have gotten any better. Hopefully this will open doors to the other girls.”
