he roughs up the dirt because it becomes hard packed from 230 lb. bikes landing on it from 50 ft off the ground...and how nice of you to let it slide, like you were going to do anything anyways

i love how after he did that he's like i should have died just there.
he said he never wants to do it again and he shouldn't have landed it cuz it's almost impossible.
he's so fucking crazy get the nitros circus movies and you'll see how nuts travis and his friends are. i respect that dude so much. other people in other sports should be more like him he's stoked on everone and everything how tyte is that.

Travis is right up there with Shaun White in terms of pure awsomeness. It's one thing to dominate a single sport, but to get top 3 in a totaly diferent sport is just sick. His whole xgames was so packed with events and qualifying, half the time he didn't even practice with the rest of the guys, yet still pulls off 3 gold out of 4 events. Simply amazing.

he's so lucky all he does is has fun and gets paid to do it he doesn't even have to go to events for money.

kid, think about that for a second: motorcycles don't have reverse
but i can see what you are saying, maybe BMX'ers will try it

But they do have a clutch and neutral...so theoretically they could land backwards but probably not take off backwards. Theoretically ofcourse.
Which leads me to my other point, bmx is so entirely homo.

are you joking bmx is hard as shit and way sick. mabye not x games bmx but street riding is dope.
and landing backwards on a dirbike would be nearly impossible because once you're backwards you're gonna need to stop the back tire which will make the back end raise a ton which will fuck your shit up a lot.
but they are starting to use quarter pipes in freestyle which is sick.

could you repeat that because it sounded like you said:
"Fuck motox. All they do is copy BMX and huck themselves. No style, no need for me to watch that nonsense."
but that would be retarded, so I think I must've read wrong

no you heard the retard right.
cuz so many fuckin bmxer's do cordova backflips and strippers and oh ya 100 foot jumps. sounds a lot like bmx. bmx is sweet but not anything like dirtbiking bmx does influence dirtbiking a lot but then so does snowboarding to skiing.

There's a ton of style in BMX and moto x.
Just like I'm sure there's some kids in a BMX online community after the winter x saying "skiing is so gay, I hope they remove it just like rollerblading"
you can't appreciate a sport by just watching the x-games. we should all know that after the switch 1080 comp at the xgames this past year.
before you criticize a sport, go see it at its best, not at the x-games where the focus is to win money, bring yourself and your sponsers exposure on national television, AND bring the best tricks that will impress the judges.
All times are Eastern (-5)
