Colin McCrae just rolled his car and still got the silver medal. he finished about 1/2 second slower than Travis Pastrana, who won his second gold medal in 18 hours after pulling off a double-backflip on a dirtbike yesterday
X-Games XIII- sled pulling?

 

Did you see Travis do the double backflip in the Moto-X????

 

He so would have 1st if not for that little incident. What a spectacular recovery!! Takes a guy with supper cool composier to pull that off.

 

That flip was CRAZY !!! I seen him do it on Nitro Circus and he flew further out and alot faster in order to get the 2 rotations. Last nights flip was more height than distance and it was awesome !!!
Travis went from dead last to 4th. in one lap at the GNCC race in Florida this spring. ( before his bike broke) That kid is a great talent but if he would have laid off the freestyle stuff he would have alot more than 1 stinkin' motocross title !!! Maybe we would not be calling Ricky C. the G.O.A.T. If Travis would have been serious about racing.

 

That back flip was incredible....!!!!

In his interview he said he was racing in the rally because he wants to pursue his career as a rally driver. Best time and he said asphalt was his weakest event..

 

That guy is insane. I´ve googled to see some videos of him and I must say his edit are bigger than his brain. If anyone finds a link for his X-games jumps, post it here or send me a pm

Your really have to see to believe how crazy that guy is

Edit: what the edit, found that double backflip @ youtube, absolutely incredible how clean he landed that jump. Big thumbs up!!! Kids, do NOT try this at home...lol

 

Yeah travis could have been great but freestyle and pro moto don't mix.They said after the double back flip, there were goin drain his knee then go practice rally.

They also said today it's been 4 years since the first backflip.I can't believe it's been that long ago, I still have the tape of Cary Hart doin the first backflip up the backside of the landin ramp in the gravity games.Then he went on to try it again at the X games and broke pretty much the whole bottom half of him and that ended his career.

 

yeah but now he gets to chill at home all day with P!nk

 

Yeah, I noticed today he was racin supermotard.He didn't do so good, but travis nor mcgrath did either.

Jeff Ward won it, oldest man to win a gold metal 45.

 

Travis pretty much had to give up Moto_X because of bad knees. The double back flip was awesome.

 

travis has said before, he doesnt really care about racing, he just wants to put on a good show.
