[Fffffft65]

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

mom! your embarasing me

[wrestling45]

Looks like the same way Carey bailed on his second attempt just not as nearly as high.

[jboy15fullcaliber]

double backflips back then were so primitive! all u had to do was one backflip on one jump, land it, and do another on another one and land it and the crowd would go fucking nuts lol :)

[bandhunter21]

i think its funny how he didnt even land in and there flippin the fuck out ahahaaha

[xKILLZONAx]

announcer is dumb. the bike is 190lbs not 250

[bmxrider7945]

you got the year messed up this was from 2000

[Danielhsv0]

But he crashed!

[andres100depredador]

wtf now he can do double backflip so wtf is that ??

[kurleedaddee]

@andres100depredador Its to show his progress from when he couldn't do a backflip until now.

[fakeras123]

@andres100depredador lol you dumb ass he don't made double backflip with first time lol he start slow slow like all the riders none made combo tricks with first try is just a old video and show us .. Travis Pastrana trying to make a backflip we know today is something easy for them many guys do double or with other drinks hart attack,indy,no hands and more but some years ago was really hard to make one backflip with your dirt bike and they try to coppy backflip from bmx like same way.

[ebw156tytop]

@andres100depredador

That was in 1999, you can see that was a big deal back then

[diehard430]

@andres100depredador this was also in 99 idiot

[zhred]

@andres100depredador you must be stupid!!? this was 1999, its 2011 now

[GuitarRonnie13]

wow. We have come so much further. Crazy!

[TheColts1027]

he didn have the double back close to thinking bout it lol

[thedeem0N]

I'm pretty sure this happened in 2000...because it was DEFINITELY After Carey Hart did his at the Gravity Games in 2000

[gatchea]

this is Actually the 2000 Xgames

[deathkillzyou]

he was 15 acually. they ssaid it on x games today

[kurleedaddee]

@deathkillzyou 15 @ the time then. That year he turned 16. Same difference.

[jonasv19]

where from #199 does anyone know the reason?

[Brk4no1]

@jonasv19 They say he has 199 lives

[jonasv19]

@Brk4no1 Oww 

[1061996SKATER]

how old do u think he was when he tried that

[kurleedaddee]

@1061996SKATER 16 years old. He was born in 1983.

[kurleedaddee]

Yet another reason why I post these vids. Glad to see other people can remember vids like this and reminisce what they were doing at that exact time.

[m1j3]

I remeber watching this live with my mom I was 5 

[jonasv19]

if he landed it he was the first in the world xD

[kayoss420]

Backflips were unheard of before 1999-2000. I remember watching the first one ever landed in 2000. The crowd at the X-Games went fucking nuts!

[KHEBIKER15]

much respect to travis..worst backflip ever..crowd goes wild :L

[voteforitnow]

where backflips not common back than?

[cstellanos]

Thats X Games 6 SF 2000.

[no1pastranafan]

i like that he tries backflipping and he gets grounded for life. lol. but he gets ungrounded at the end of the second run. anyone know where to find his jump into the pier after one of his runs. not sure which xgames it was.

[Fourwheelracer9]

It was X Games 5 at San Francisco.

I've been trying to find that same jump into the pier but no luck as well.

Let me know if you find it. Please (:

[no1pastranafan]

@JDOG9087 I just got a bunch of stuff from his new year's day jump. I'm looking for the jump that he did into the bay after he finished his run at the x games.

[mrkayaker]

and he was 16!

[bikercc]

he should of gotten back up and tried it again

[dwoodsy11]

tha backflip may not be how it is today if travis hadnt done that, thank u so much travis, the sport wouldnt be tha way it is if he wasnt around
