Looked pretty on the ball and like the comentators said, I cannot understand why one of the judges failed to give it the full score. Would have been pretty messy had he not pulled it off. Thumbs up to the dude, not the sort of thing that Id ever consider doing, sure earnt that gold medal thats for sure.

I saw that and it looked truly awesome !!!
Especially how he landed perfectly as well with both wheels touching at the same time.

Was watching this with the missus yesterday, and she was well impressed as was I. Damn crowd didn't sit down for 15 minutes. His mom was thankful as all hell too. Apparently when he was out back preparing for it he said to her, "I think I'm going to do the double. If I get hurt, just remember that I love you, and I'm just having fun". Way to freak your mom out, eh?

And busting a trick like that on the 2nd day of X-Games when he's down for 7 more events? What a goddamn legend.

very very cool

Thats a pretty cool way to make sure your name goes down in history

That boy's name will go dow in history (of X games) because he brings something new nearly everytime! It was awesome to see.

Holy fuck, just watched that about 3 times in a row. Followed Travis's career off and on ever since he was doing small jumps on a minibike as a very young child. The guy is amazing. We are oh so lucky to have the likes of both him and Rossi riding in our lifetimes.

That's incredible to hear! I taped it since I had work and I've yet to see it

Maybe another few years practice on the Montesa and I'll be able to do some of that stuff

That guy should be the king

**Colapop** · 6th August 2006, 10:52

He already is - a King among mere men.

That was f**ken awesome puts a whole new meaning to throwing a bike around

Yeah I was at the Cock & Bull last night, and I got a glimpse of it, and I thought, what the fuck? I didn't know that was doable on a motorcross bike. A BMX maybe, but I thought motocross bikes had too much angular inertia. Obviously just give it heaps of panic revs to keep it going around. No doubt people will be nailing themselves trying to replicate this trick... I reckon there might be the odd fatality.
