Bereman Tops Inaugural
FMX Fite Klub
J
arryd McNeil hosted the first-ev-
er FMX Fite Klub at his freestyle
playground in Southern California,
July 28. Like the Moto and Flat
Track events that took place earlier
this year, the FMX event was cre-
ated as a live Pay Per View event
on Fite TV with no fans in atten-
dance due to Covid-19 restrictions.
It included just six riders that com-
peted in Best Whip, Step Up and
Quarter Pipe. In addition to McNeil,
Tyler Bereman, Colby Raha, Cole
Seely, Tom Parsons and Dereck
Beckering competed in the rela-
tively casual event.
Bereman proved to be the best
rider among this select group by
first taking the win over McNeil in
the Best Whip competition. The
riders competed in pairs with the
other four riders ranking the winner
of each pair to move forward in
the brackets. In a bit of a surprise,
Beremen backed up his Best Whip
win with a win over McNeil in the
Step Up with a height of 37 feet.
Raha finally put an end to the
Bereman domination by taking the
win in the Quarter Pipe competition
with an amazing 38-foot leap. Bere-
man finished second in Quarter
Pipe to wrap up a strong day.
Bereman earned the Grand
Champion and FMX Fite Klub belt
winner as the overall winner of the
FMX Fite Klub.
Tyler Bereman
won the Best
Whip and Step Up
competitions and
was the overall
Grand Champion
at the first-ever
FMX Fite Klub
competition.
Just for fun, the riders ended
the event with a pit bike race that
also included Jeremy "Twitch"
Stenberg and Ryan Villoptoto,
who were both announcers for
the event. McNeil used his home-
track advantage to take the win.
