    Travis's double flip clip still gives me chills with how insane the crowd is even before he goes off.

      @dmeemd7787 Před 3 lety +11

      Yeah when Josh Sheehan landed the triple, that was just ridiculous I really don't want to see anybody try that again, hitting a ramp at nearly 60 miles an hour being probably 70 something feet in the air, I'm glad Josh did it because he landed it and I'm glad no one else has tried it, one of the few tricks I feel that way about because, well yeah.. anyways, unreal!

  • @kabeerahmed4588

      Same... Travis is the only pro-race driver I've ever met that I've struggled to talk to... He's been successful at everything...
      He has wins in some form or facet in pretty much every form of motorsport except off road trucks and formula cars...
      Dude is one of the most talented people with a motor under him ever... Period... He's driven everything: Mx, Sx, FMx, WRX, WRC, Nascar... Dude has done fuckin' everything.

    That is why Travis Pastrana is my idol and hero. So is my father, but Travis is hands down the most amazing human being alive. The significance of what he did, then to apologize to his mom for worrying her and putting her through that. Its just what i respect. How you treat animals and your mom. This guy is the pinnacle of what i consider to be a truly awesome human being.

    Being in the staple center that night was a feeling I’ll never forget. Everyone collectively holding their breaths as he went off the lip and when he landed the walls shook, I was just about in tears of excitement watching my hero pull that. 13 years of ago at that time and still remember it like it was yesterday. Forever the 🐐 199🙌🏻

  • @davespringer777

    Let's give some credit to Carey Hart. He's the one that showed the fmx backflip was possible. He lit the fire. And now, if you "only" do a backflip, something must have went wrong.
