eyeswideshut 1 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Travis Pastrana is the first person ever to do a double backflip in competition...EVER. The trick that was thought to be impossible was just executed perfectly and the judges only gave him a 98.60. Everyone thought it deserved to be the first and only 100 but not the tight ass judges. Congrats to Travis! I witnessed it LIVE, on television that is. It was simply Amazing. PIC below obviously isnt the double. If they release a video tomorrow ill post it. INSANE!

darthYENIK 8,859 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Yeah it was gnarly. He said he'll never do it again, but it's only a matter of time. Video Link to post Share on other sites
ToyMachine 1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Yeah, yeah, a double backflip. Next year we'll see a double blackflip no handed lander, a year after with a heelclicker. This sport evolves like crazy. Link to post Share on other sites
GTA3Rockstar 3,016 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 That is crazy. 'Cause today I saw a video on the internet of some guy do the double backflip, not that one but it was Travis. Pretty awesome nonetheless... Here Link to post Share on other sites
eyeswideshut 1 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 It was probably in Nitro Circus which is a movie that came out not too long ago. The differenc ebetween the movie and the X games was in the movie Travis was landing in pure dirt and it wasnt as hard as the landings at the X Games so for him to pull it off in comp was simply amazing. I recorded the video on my digital camera and I watch it like crazy because I still cant believe it. I dont think there will be any double backflip variations and I think Travis will do it again but maybe not in a competition. Someone will come along and do something even gnarlier and stupider. As Travis Pastrana says I have the will and the stupidity to try ANYTHING! and he proved it. Link to post Share on other sites
I Love Anna Kournikova 1,985 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Yeah, I was watching it live too. It was simply amazing. I dont think anyone else will do it for awhile. Link to post Share on other sites
