Jacko Strong wins Moto X Best Trick, landing the first-ever competition front flip. Travis Pastrana, expected to be one of the highlights of the event, crashed two times and had left the place. Cam Sinclair placed second with a double backflip with nac-nac variations on the second flip. Double backflip variations are practically unheard of in FMX competition. And third was Josh Sheehan.
