does anyone have that pic of the sequence of the guy doing a double back.  it was like on some dirt jump or something in the woods i think.

I almost cried, seriously. And i'm glad he didn't get a 100, nothing is perfect, there will always be progression. I feel a 99.9 would have been better.

DAMN, that will make the sport have to progress so much, give it 2 years and it will be a stock trick like a backflip now

I agree with thomson, If they had given him a perfect hundred, what would a double backflip no footer be?

yeah fuck 360s they all look like off axis backflips, the underflip was pretty cool but 360s are definitely not real 360s, only pastrana does a decent one.

wow a double backflip, what a surprise. I dont like how they like prep the jump for him and they set it up like they know what he's going to do. The course should stay the same for everyone, and it should be a surprise what trick each person does, I hate how the announcers know whats going down because of practice. Its a competition for christs sake, not watch some riders throw some shit then go all out for one rider. lame.

Wow sick!! I'm so glad there is finally a new trick in fmx, the single backflip was so fucking boring. How can you be entertained by the same trick for 5 years? Props to travis
