@nick26695 once upon a time people didnt do backflips just as a warm up thing... there was actually a time that this was considered impossible. and that time wasnt all that long ago. ten years ago people would never even think about doing this other than in crazy fantasies that they would never attempt. this was the first time ever that anybody did two backflips on consecutive ramps (back to back backflips) and it was a HUGE deal. today's equivalent: back to back double backflip variations.
I was in the crowd. At the time, this was the best trick a rider could pull off. It really is amazing how much the sport has evolved over the last decade or so.
oh saw that on TV when i was 7 years old. at like 10:30 at night in the 2002 x gmes. everybody says he did it in contest b4 that but that is the firt time he did it in contest. he did the backflip to backflip 4 the first time in the 2002 freestyle motocross x games. amazing
Well, I'd still be amazed if someone just did singular backflips one by one, in a row. I mean, we gotta remember (the audience) that even ONE backflip on a motocross bike is amazing. And he pulled them off really well. Amazing, I'd say :)
i remember watching this for the first time on tv t was the cooest thing ever. now u have pastrana doing 2 in one jump. what are they going to be doing in another 5 years?
what happened to him disappeared of the face of the earth
