Jackson Strong is the man of the hour after his win in FMX Best Trick at this years X Games in Ventura. The win puts him as one of the all time greats of the sport. Jacko is from humble beginnings, growing up in the rural town of Wagga Wagga Australia and spent his life honing his craft on his custom built compound.
