37-year-old Florida native Ronnie Renner took home his seventh gold medal in the Moto X Step Up Thursday night in Austin by clearing an incredible 34-feet.
It’s his third gold in a row in the event, making him the first athlete to win three Moto X Step Up gold medals in a row since Tommy Clowers in 2002.
“I would’ve never guessed 20 years ago when I started watching X Games that I would have my own gold medal—especially seven of them!” said Renner after his win.
Bryan Smith (USA) won the first ever X Games Harley-Davidson Flat-Track championship with a time of 8:20.168.
