Jeff "Ox" Kargola
Better known as the “Ox”, Jeff Kargola is one of the biggest as well as one of the youngest riders in motocross. Riding since 1998, Ox consistently shows off his strong and smooth technique in every contest. Officially coming onto the moto scene during the 2001 Blue Torch Tour, Ox developed into an excellent natural terrain and freestyle rider. Standing at 6’2” and weighing over 200 pounds, he is the largest rider in the sport. Ox funnels his size and power into his riding style, pulling tricks like the backflip Superman seat grab and his signature trick, “The Oxecutioner”. After learning the backflip just in November of 2003, Ox now considers them “super easy” and spends most of his time traveling all over the world, riding in demos. “I just like to make the tricks that I’m doing look as good as I can possibly make them,” says Ox, “I just like to have fun and throw some style into it.”
