I personally think he will eat shit if he tries one, but I would be happy to be proven wrong. Thats alot of momentum to get together on a bike, let alone land.

nah someone stupid enough will build a huge jump and try a triple, you could probably still get killed trying a triple into a foam pit

i doubt it, if he didn't do it in best trick why would he do it in the freestyle. I'm assuming sunday is the freestyle event where they have a whole run to do tricks .

He probably will try it but i dont know how many of you ride or follow mx because he has been hurt a lot the last few seasons and is trying really hard to not get hurt this year so he can race supercross in 05

whatever he's a fucking pussy, he was talking shit in commercials all over the place claiming that he was gona do the double back and he pussed out. fucking pussy ass cunt, then in that 22 lap race he pretended his bike wouldn't start when he slid out and quit racing because he was doing so bad.


Why do black people dislike me? If it wasn't for white dudes they would still be slaves.

^ He never claimed he was going to do it, he said stuff like, 'We'll see.' He's really just a kid out having the time of his life. Also, despite what you said, he never pussed out. He still ran his final run, getting second no less, with a fucked up wrist, broken foot, messed up back, minor concussion and that black eye (which he said didnt matter). Phrosty, i know that if you even pulled a muscle, lets say skiing, you would quit right there, go home and complain about the pain. Compared to Travis, a very accomplished athlete, your just a whiny little bitch who talks shit about people but never does anything about it. Even though I still love your insults man, I gotta defend Travis with this one.
