Freestyle motocross champion Ronnie Renner and supercross racing star Ricky Carmichael, despite coming from vastly different styles of dirt bike riding, shared a gold medal in Moto X Step-Up.


Douglas High graduate Matt Buyten won bronze in the event.


Renner and Carmichael each cleared 34 feet in the event, essentially a motocross high jump, but neither could clear 35 feet.


Carmichael, the most decorated racer in motocross history, won gold in the event last year in his first attempt.
