I have mixed emotions about this part of our sport after being involved with RiderDown and seeing all the injuries that occur from our tamer (if you can call it that) side of the sport it sort of scares me that these guys have become role models for our young dirt bike riding children. Travis is an awesome yougman and I mean him no disrepect for what he and the others do, they are incredible athletes. We are hearing of children under ten with ramps at their home practice tracks and to me that gets scary. I'll get off the soap box. Enjoy this piece of Xgames history. This was on DV12's website.

I was almost in tears right along with his mom Debbie. Its hard to believe when I see Travis in action that it is the same polite and soft spoken man that I have met in person.

He has nerves of steele !!!

The double back flip is amazing - I'm glad it was Travis pulling it off too.

Joe some folks would probably think your nuts and setting a bad example riding wheelies and fooling around on that crazy Trials bike!
