Freestyle Motocross Rider Jumps Across World's Largest Grill

By Autumn Johnson

In the blazing heat at high noon today, freestyle motocross rider Dustin Miller repeatedly jumped his dirt bike across the top of Juicy's Outlaw Grill, the largest grill in the world, at the Alameda County Fair.

Tense spectators watched as Miller made the jumps appear effortless as he sped the Suzuki RM 250 dirt bike up the ramp, through the air, over the grill, whipping and sometimes flipping mid-air. 

Jeff Tilton of TNT FMX announced to the crowd, "We are combining the two best things at the fair... FMX and fair food." 

The 20-foot-tall-grill, owned by Brett Enright, holds an interesting claim to fame after cooking the world's largest hamburger, which weighed a whopping 777 pounds, setting a new record in the Guinness Records in 2011.

Enright, who said before the event that he was not nervous, was impressed by the jumps made by Miller.

"I thought the back flip was amazing," Enright said. "That was awesome, check another thing off of my list."

Miller, 32, who has been riding FMX for 12 years, says he felt totally in control during the jumps. 

Watch the freestyle motocross show daily at 1p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the Alameda County Fair.
