Moto X - Mike Metzger (Menifee, Calif.)
It will be extremely hard for Mike Metzger to top his performance from this summer's X Games VIII in Philadelphia during his first appearance in the Winter X Games. Known as "The Godfather" for his innovative presence in freestyle motocross, Mike made jaws drop this summer when he pulled the first back-to-back backflips to win the gold in Moto X Freestyle. He then added variations to the backflip for yet another gold medal in the Moto X Big Air competition, and followed those performances with a silver medal in Step-Up. His riding crowned him X Games VIII's Best Overall X Games Athlete with a signature custom Fender guitar. After Mike's accomplishments in Philadelphia, the sport of freestyle motocross will never be the same.
