He pulled one a while ago up in OR or WA or something on a video shoot.BikerBoy28 said:Double backflip!?!

Well, when the rest of the race guys can pull double backflips on a 250lb bike, I'll agree with you.SuspectDevice said:Will the damn kid get this freestyle crap out of his blood soon and get back to racing? FMX is even worse than Tyler Klassen, IMO.
but sadly fmx is where the money is when it comes to endorsement deals and all that. he did much better than i thought he would in the rally. ken block also did better than i thought seeing as how he went to rally training school in late 2004.SuspectDevice said:Will the damn kid get this freestyle crap out of his blood soon and get back to racing?

i like to see you backflip ANYTHING other than on a trampoline:mumble:SuspectDevice said:How is a double backflip even at all related to any skill that is relevant in motocross? They might as well be wearing leotards and riding pommel horses.
Exactly my point. Let's see you do a double backflip or a backflip heart attack on a 250lb moto, then you can talk all the **** you want.SteezyWeezy said:i like to see you backflip ANYTHING other than on a trampoline:mumble:
It's not related to racing, you're right. Doesn't mean it's pointless, or unrelated to dirtbikes.SuspectDevice said:How is a double backflip even at all related to any skill that is relevant in motocross? They might as well be wearing leotards and riding pommel horses.

funny . . . you got pretty excited when jamie ford hucked 50ft off that teeter-totter a few weeks ago, even posted video of it on various forums. last i checked teeter-totter hucks have nothing to do with dh racing . . . doesn't mean it wasn't cool though.SuspectDevice said:How is a double backflip even at all related to any skill that is relevant in motocross?

I wouldn't quite go that far. Travis owns everybody in FMX, but go try to pull for him at a motocross or supercross race. You get to cheer for him for about 3 laps, then he get's FUBAR'ed and coasts the remaining 15 or so then pulls out. As a paying customer, it's not that entertaining. About as fun as tuning in to watch Palmer qualify for a main then pull off track. EDIT: More like 1 lap actually...Watched Pastrana live at Atlanta cartwheel right out of the start gate in the main. Tuned in to OLN to watch Palmer in 125 motocross only to see him eat it in the start and jack his hand. Whooppee...blt2ride said:I saw Travis put down 35 solid laps during the Supermoto race, and then, less than an hour later, he was out there on his FMX bike winning the FMX finals. Seems like he's a pretty well-rounded rider to me.

yeah, he sucks at racing. . . . .
and last i checked, he and palmer both had to qualify for the main events so if someone else "deserved" it more than them maybe those guys should have tried a little harder in the heat races. only way to "take somebody else's spot" is to beat them.
