now if you dont do a backflip on every jump you dont have a chance of winning

how can you say that? travis throws down a double back, tonight hes gonna throw down a 360 backflip and people are now going for front flips..i mean once you hit the peak its hard to do different stuff with the bike, but people are still pushing the limits.

I see Mike is excellent at motorcycling, which is an understatement. Though I'm not into racing, I heard about him recently from a friend because him and I share a rare interest totally unrelated. I won't say what it is as to not embarrass him. But my friend says he's as devoted to the subject as I am (love for a certain animal). Anyone know how I can contact him?

Fun fact, Metzger has one testicle. True story.

I reckon the near flat landing at 0:39 is more full on than the actual back flips.

@suzukiracer99 and no just a backflip but backflip indy / backflip no hands and other crazy tricks with backflip, they make backflip to look so easy today but that happend with any sport.
