toddyboman Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I just watched Travis Prestrana (sp) do a DOUBLE BACKFLIP ON A MOTORCYCLE. I'm not a motor cross guy or whatever. But that was CRAZY, yet really cool. Did anyone see this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Re: x-games That would have been awesome. I seen one guy try to do a 360 and halfway through he changed his mind and he didnt make it. He landed sideways on his bike and smoked the ground. i think he was ok though, he walked off but it lookde like he was in pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HoytShooter8 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Re: x-games That was one heck of a moment, I'm not much for action sports but somehow when it's on I watch like a fan would. I think I heard him mention to his mother after the jump that that was it for him, he might not return to that part of the competition. Talk about ending that part of a career on a high note, that was a crazy jump.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hes one heck of a dirt bike rider.....Ive seen him race Supercross a couple times. Id really like to see this double backflip though.

Guest HoytShooter8 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Re: x-games That's what I heard him say to his mother, he thanked her for supporting him, and then said he was going to focus on the other competitions he was entered in the future, and that he was done with best trick.. I'm with you though, I'd like to see what else the kid can do.. Unbelievable amount of skill and courage, it's always something when somebody takes their sport to a new level.. Outstanding jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdvantageTimberLou Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: x-games I seen that on ESPN as well and all I can say is WOW!!! That was impressive, how do you practice something like that? You break something your done for awhile, not to mention you can break you neck!! Those boys have some big kahunas, that is for sure!

MUDRUNNER Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: x-games That was pretty amazing.I remember a few years ago just doing a back flip was a huge deal, and now they do it with regularity.I think Pastrana ended up winning three medals in the X games this year.
