I have been entertained, mostly by the engineering that went into all this.

still takes some nads to actually do it as the guy has broken a lot of bones doing other things, so they don't always go right

This does seem like they had this wired.

I checked it out cause of this thread. That was lame as hell. At least leave on the cape if you’re going to clear it by 100 feet.

The whole deal is that it wasn’t on a dirtbike with big suspension and that he did 3 jumps in one night. You can see teenagers jumping this distance one after another at local tracks, but on dirtbikes.

Here’s Mike Metzger doing a backflip over the Caesar’s Palace fountains...

That dive into 2 feet of fountain water was pretty dangerous itself.

I feel really bad for getting this reference. Pedro and his BIL had a fight.

The irony is that this is some of the least entertaining stunts Travis has ever done. The original Nitro Circus shows were awesome.

Yeah anyone familiar with Travis or MX/freestyle in general knows he could have done this blindfolded. But I can’t think of many things on tv on a Sunday night better than this. Though I do love me some Wicked Tuna...

Damn good stuff but nothing from X games amazed me more than Jake Brown walking away from this. Even Travis P was amazed. LINK
