Default Travis Pastrana's double backflip

He pulled off for the first time in a competition at the X games. Couldn't find a video of the actual competition double backflip but here's a video of it in the making

Saw it and it was bad ***! He has a big set of nuts for that. One mistake and he would have been a tree with a motorcycle on top of him.

funny thing is - he still only got a score of 98.6 or something - who's the *** judge that DIDN'T give him a perfect score?

Yeah that **** is crazy. He won a gold in a rally car competition thing, and he's top seeded for the freestyle competition tomorrow. It must be nice being able to practice in the big pillow pits they have now.

I remember back when I saw tony hawk pull off the 900 for the first time. Those guys are nuts.

yes he did, couple of his big-nut tricks were a backflip superman, and a backflip Lay-Z-Boy. The backflip superman looked like death for sure!
