Step Up

Contestents for Step Up: Ronnie Renner, Matt Buyten, Tommy Clowers, Brian Deegan, Myles Richmond and Todd Potter.

They start at 30 feet in height where all six riders make it easily. The bar is raised to 34 feet six inches and they've all cleared it. Tommy Clowers is going to be the first to attempt a new height record - 35 feet six inches! He touches the bar and it falls to the ground. Tommy doesn't make it in his second attempt. Todd Potter doesn't make it as well.

Brian Deegan now will attempt the new X Games Step Up record height - 35 feet six inches. And he does it! New record! And Myles Richmond makes it too! Ronnie Renner clears it too! Matt Buyten is trying to defend his Gold Medal. He doesn't make it on his first attempt, but nails it on the second attempt!

Now they set the bar at another record height - upping it one foot to 36' 6". Brian Deegan and Myles Richmond fail on both attempts and are out.
