Metz is crazy...45fter off a steel ramp right into an 80fter over a dirt gap...and it only looked like there was 20 ft of setup between the two. Total rythum section style.
I think its about the most imressive thing I've ever seen.
The video is already up at xgames.com and I guess it will be on tv sunday.

bob also did the loop switch with no top on the loop. so it'd look like this () just pretend there is a line on the bottom

last time it was so cool, i was walking outside and the grass kept saying ouch as i walked on it, and then i looked up and pulled a star out of the sky with my hand and took it apart

God...those flips were UNBELIEVABLE. Totally insane....they were so perfect.
What really blew my mind though was hoffman's no-handed 9...i totally didn't see that coming at all. I was ready for Metz to do the flips, i was not ready for hoffman. The Condor is king.
Skate doubles was intense aswell...the board transfers were sooooo sick. That would be so fun.

Yea i've been riding bmx since for 6 years, and i never expected that no handed 900 either, that is seriously unreal. 360 flip on a dirtbike... i'm VERY skeptical, a lincoln i could see.

Damnit! I missed Metzger's run because had to go home to sleep. I saw Skate doubles and the transfers were sick as hell. I thought that the Killer B's shoulda won though.

UNREAL. There are going to be some sick variations with inverts now. How come nobody has tried spinning in motox? I've never ridden a bike like that and I can imagine the difficulty of it, but with the whips they do I'm sure somebody will eventually flatspin the bike around.

Cary Hart got the rid of the demon last night in big air. He skipped paractice then skipped his first two runs. On his last and only run he hit the backflip cold turkey. He dragged a foot for a slip second on landing but otherwise road away clean. You cant even see it in real time and it wasnt until the commentators noticed him lipming that they went back and saw it in slow-mo. He did it off the ramp just Metz...it was ill. But Metz stepped it up again and nailed a no-footed to no hander lander backflip for the gold. Hart took silver and Degan Bronze. FMX will never be the same. They need to invent a new neck so they add in bar spin variations.

'HIGHLIGHTS
-- Half of Travis Pastrana's first run took place after official time had already expired. Travis kept cruising the course, giving the crowd what it wanted...backflips. Seven total in one run. He scored a 96 (5.5 higher than Mike Metzger in second). '
'Pastrana Injured in Step-Up Event
Still Has Enough Points To Win Overall
Aug. 4, 2002 -- There were a few anxious moments at the dirt track on Sunday afternoon when Travis Pastrana's bike got away from him during a later stage of the Step-Up competition. Pastrana was trying to clear an outstretched ribbon 30 feet in the air when his bike began drifting out from under him, leaving yesterday's FMX champ to freefall into the landing. The mediacal staff responded immediately and Travis seemed in good spirits as he was taken away. GravityGames.com will update his condition as soon as more information becomes available.
