Wow...Anyone watch ESPN 2 last nite????

Just when I thought I had seen it all with the whole back flip thing.....Travis busted out a DOUBLE back flip into his foam pit and he said he may use it in the actual event.Holy Mama!!! And Chuck Corothers did a complete off the bike 360 and then landed back on the bike again.

UNREAL!!!! I fear though that soon someone is going to get seriously hurt or possibly killed.Can you imagine a 90 foot gap,double backflip coming up short? OUCH!!

Anyone else see it too??Totally sick!

sounds nutty and crazy and "death defieing".

VMX_krazyman821 · August 07, 2004, 04:10:35 AM

I'd say its nutty.How do you flip a 220 pound bike twice in the air?....sick sick sick.But kinda kool.

thormx985 · August 07, 2004, 04:59:37 AM

i just got done watching the step up event and Mcgrath put it to um! wooot woot he took home gold. score one for the racers in a fmx event he he.

errrrrrr buyten deserved to win

i mean poping ur shoulder out twice and still riding ?!? he def. deserved a win. no offense to mc its awesome to see him win

VMX_krazyman821 · August 07, 2004, 02:24:04 PM

I watched it too,it was pretty awesome.Not taking anything away from Buyten,but Mcgrath did beat him fair and square.It was pretty cool....Am I not alone when I say Metzger looked like an idiot?

Bunny · August 07, 2004, 06:25:09 PM

Yes, Metz was really silly there. It was amazing to see these to great guys (MC & Buy-10) cheering each other on to make the step up on each new level, that shows real sportsmanship.

VMX_SKYmx99 · August 07, 2004, 07:11:04 PM

Ah I missed step up. Damn. MC won? That is awesome!

Bunny · August 07, 2004, 11:13:45 PM

yeah, it was very close.

I think Buyten could have made it but he went up the left side too far and hit one of the poles. his front was up and I believe his back would have barely made it up over it.

VMX_krazyman821 · August 08, 2004, 12:58:55 AM

Hey Alex,not only did you miss MC win,but you missed what he did on his first attempt. He did a Nac-Nac over the high jump!! Now that was pretty damn kool!! 8)Im glad he won,not taking anything away from Matt of course.Oh,by the way,Im soooo glad Tommy Clowers lost.I hate to be mean,but I just cant stand him.

VMX_SKYmx99 · August 08, 2004, 01:32:33 AM

Same here. He's kinda like RC IMO. I like the out going half stupid ones. lol AKA: Pastrana.

VMX_krazyman821 · August 08, 2004, 01:35:33 AM

I like Travis also,wait until you see his double back flip!Truly unreal!
