Exactly. Todd Palin is a goofball.

The whole thing is a recipe for disaster. They are pressuring him into doing a very very high consequence trick, and when that gets pushed people often end up paralyzed. Double flips are risky business when there's another entity involved, there is a reason only Pastrana has done one, and BMX has seen some very nasty injuries from doubles.

People are just watching to see him annihilate himself. Check out Vicarious by Tool if you want more on that subject.

Pastrana has done more then one, he's only done one in comps. And as for them pressuring Levi to do it, they pressured pastrana for 2 or 3 years (like when he first did it into foam) be for he decided he was going to. There is know doubt pressure for Levi to do it but he's going to be the one that makes the finall cal and he won't do it if he thinks there's not a reasonable chance at landing it or atleast bailing out good, you don't get to that level by making dumb calls.

botom line the guy is trying a new trick, a new trick that is fucking insane in my opinion, so instead of hating why cant you support someone who is progressing a sport similar to yours. i agree there isent as much divirsity in tricks as there is as skiing,  but.... the the guy is fliping a 450 pound machine twice. he has the same passion as a lot of us skiers do so i feel like we should so some respect and stoke on it. if not why don't you go and try to land a single backflip on a snowmobile.

this is extream sports....we should support it.

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be

Like:
"Killed by the husband" ...
"Drowned by the ocean" ...
"Shot by his own son" ...
"She used a poison in his tea,
Then (she) kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies.

Don't look me at like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other (you)
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child,
Watches him die,
Hands to the sky cryin "why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die from a distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
Neither the brave nor bold
Nor brightest of stories told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

I need to watch things die from a good safe distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain fallin' down
Drum on grave and ground

Part vampire, part warrior,
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal.
Sing to the death rattle.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men.
But pull your head on out (of) your hippie haze
And give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy.
It's like blood to a vampire.

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I.

Snowmobiling is garbage, anyone whos primary use of a snowmobile is for racing or jumping is a stupid redneck piece of shit. If you say otherwise your worthless down-syndrom driven opinion is not worth noting by me or anyone else. Do everyone a favor and  dunk your balls in a shark tank so you dont produce any more idiots like yourself~

that bitch with the mic pretty much interviewed him out of his 2nd try. "We will see you tomorrow?"
NO, we will see you NOW stomping your new trick on your 2nd try.

he didn't land it and nobody said it was historic. and even someone as smart as you couldn't land a double back flip on a snowmobile.

hmm i see everyone hate on snowmobiling taking over airtime, but its frustrating seeing people hate on this guy.

What i mean is, please dont hate until you have actually had some experience on a snowmobile. Learning to even hill climb properly takes a lot of skill and courage in itself.
Snowmobiling is one of the hardest, tiring, strenuous sports I have ever done. Its definitely not anything easy. I have respect for anyone jumping those at all. Its a scary machine with lots of power.
Im pretty sure the sled that guy was using could beat a Viper in a drag race... thats how much power it has.
I have mad respect for what that guy did and sure he didnt land it and it didnt count, but still that was insane.

And to the guy ripping apart snowmobilers and how they are "red kneck and white trash," you pretty much dissed a large majority of the ski industry.

cause he had a 50/50 chance of getting seriously fucked up and he managed to pull it around and not get fucked up is why he claimed. i think that took so much balls and i bet that jump wasnt even meant for dub backs, just like the slopestyle course wasnt built good.

they can never compare him to travis pastrana.  And to quote above he iddn't' land and  still claimed it.  He should have manned up and tried again.

I couldn't agree with you more on them pressuring him into doing the trick. Brian Degan faced the same deal a few years ago to do his 360 roll in moto best trick and runined himself tryin.  However Pastrana is not the only one that's done Double backs on a dirt bike.

Scott Murry's first double at about 2:10 He has done a few and had lots of bad attempts.  The guys a beast.
