Just saw the jump. That is a modern bike made to look like something Evil used. There will never be another Evil, no one will ever try to jump those hunks of iron like he did. That look like the normal X-games jump.

Not that I think he's top 5 all time, but flinging a motorcycle around precisely is extremely taxing on the body. If you don't think a shite load of physical training goes into what he has done his whole career, not really sure what to tell you.

Motocross itself (not necessarily freestyle) is the most all around physically demanding/toughest sport there is.

Yea, I’m definitely serious. I’m sure most athletes need the spatial awareness, dexterity, balance, strength and cognitive abilities required to do what he is able to do with a 250lbs dirt bike, a rally car, a stock car...that shite isn’t being done by any regular unathletic person. Just because a ball isn’t involved doesn’t mean it’s not athletics.
The definition of athlete is something along the lines of someone who has the skills to perform games that require strength, agility, and fitness.
