Man xgames in the 2000s was the best ! It just doesn't have the same feel today ,, seats are empty! ,, before social media took over ! Before everyone was on their phones , you just lived in the moment
Yeah when Josh Sheehan landed the triple, that was just ridiculous I really don't want to see anybody try that again, hitting a ramp at nearly 60 miles an hour being probably 70 something feet in the air, I'm glad Josh did it because he landed it and I'm glad no one else has tried it, one of the few tricks I feel that way about because, well yeah.. anyways, unreal!
To me I've always seen Travis pastrana as the hero of motocross. Even watching him on his shows and doing things off the bikes, the guy had zero fear and was amazing to watch
It's so overwhelming that within the space of a couple of years the backflip went from the most electrifying move to a common move in everybody's arsenal
I'll never forget watching Travis back flip twice that night n all the flashes from all the cameras in the background... Never happen again not a moment so big in the sport..
Same... Travis is the only pro-race driver I've ever met that I've struggled to talk to... He's been successful at everything... He has wins in some form or facet in pretty much every form of motorsport except off road trucks and formula cars... Dude is one of the most talented people with a motor under him ever... Period... He's driven everything: Mx, Sx, FMx, WRX, WRC, Nascar... Dude has done fuckin' everything.
That is why Travis Pastrana is my idol and hero. So is my father, but Travis is hands down the most amazing human being alive. The significance of what he did, then to apologize to his mom for worrying her and putting her through that. Its just what i respect. How you treat animals and your mom. This guy is the pinnacle of what i consider to be a truly awesome human being.
Being in the staple center that night was a feeling I’ll never forget. Everyone collectively holding their breaths as he went off the lip and when he landed the walls shook, I was just about in tears of excitement watching my hero pull that. 13 years of ago at that time and still remember it like it was yesterday. Forever the 🐐 199🙌🏻

Let's give some credit to Carey Hart. He's the one that showed the fmx backflip was possible. He lit the fire. And now, if you "only" do a backflip, something must have went wrong.
It’s wild how much milder the crowds have gotten over the years.. wish the energy would come back again!! So rad. I remember growing up watching those earlier x games!
I still remember staying up late to see Travis go for the double and fell asleep during the comp. I woke up right as Travis was hitting the ramp. It was like a dream. I don't think I slept at all the rest of the night. Had to watch it a hundred times just rewinding
Caleb Moore did this on a snowmobile on the Winter X Games and Brett Turcotte almost did this on the Winter X. Also Brandon Cormier wins last snowmobile freestyle with the similar trick
David Rinaldo just brought it back this year for best trick and kinda added his own style to it. Was really cool to see someone else busting that trick out.
The standing "OHHHHHHHHHH!!" From both casters when Travis landed. You knew that was a moment in world history right there. closest thing to Modern day Evil knieval.
To this day I'm upset that Pastrana didn't get a perfect 100 for the Double Backflip that night LOL It was literally the best moment in X Games history, hands down 💯💯
I remember when you would go get your favorite dirt bike magazine & then rent the best video & then get home and play Jeremy McGrath Supercross 98 with your buddies. Those were the times! 🎧😁🤟
Man, moto used to be the biggest sport at the X Games. Those were the days. I honestly think it has just reached a point where the likelihood of serious injury or death is so high, it doesn't have the same mass appeal it use to.
Pastrana was obviously a shoe-in for multiple entries in this video, but when I saw it in my subs my first thought was "Mike Metzger, back to back flips". I'm glad you agree! Is it just me, or has the popularity of these events really dropped off from those 'glory days'?
2:00 was the opening backflip monumental or something? (The gap length?) Because I'm not seeing any other reason that average run is in this vid. And the 360 was done earlier, so I'm confused

Travis's double flip clip still gives me chills with how insane the crowd is even before he goes off.
That night was electric.
And to think he has now landed a triple 3

It looked unreal. I've watched the clip so many times, and my brain still has a little trouble believing my eyes.
The stuff they're doing now is just insane to me. That fact that nearly all of these pull double backflips like its part of basic training now
To me I've always seen Travis pastrana as the hero of motocross. Even watching him on his shows and doing things off the bikes, the guy had zero fear and was amazing to watch
I mostly watched X Games as a kid for the skateboarding but always got so excited when a Travis Pastrana run was coming up
It's so overwhelming that within the space of a couple of years the backflip went from the most electrifying move to a common move in everybody's arsenal
Beat me to it
Not true at all
In the unchained document they said it best if u can’t flip it was ur retirement
I'll never forget watching Travis back flip twice that night n all the flashes from all the cameras in the background... Never happen again not a moment so big in the sport..
I watched it live too and yeah, that feeling was just indescribable
I got goosebumps just reading this and thinking about it lol

14:37 even his bike is proud of him
Love re living all these moments. Although it breaks my heart to see all the empty seats in the more recent clips :(
Right when it was ONLY in Cali at staples inside especially in the early days
Travis is insane. Double backflip on a dirt bike. Skydiving without a parachute. Racing rally cars.. he’s the true x games goat
Travis is a freaking madman !!! That double will always be the peak of the sport! The energy in that building is insane!
The crowds now vs before is just sad
It’s fuckin dead today 😔
matt johnson facts
S T no i mean even prior look at xgames 2019 best trick
@El Chapo not sure, i just think nowadays it doesnt have the hype it had in early 2000’s

Travis after his double:"I hope I never do it again"
*ff 10 years*: "yeah I think I'll go for a triple"

Wow the energy of the 2003 X Games was so different. I started watching in like 2008 and I was still a kid. I had no idea how crazy it was then.
15:50 to 16:00 is one of the greatest camera shots in the history of sports. Iconic.
I still get goosebumps watching Metz doing those back to back backflips
Amazing memories ❤️ never forget Metzger’s “double” backflip, and Pastrana’s double. The world was watching Travis that night. Chills.
When Mike Metzger hit those backflips it was like time stood still for me as a kid.
Let's give some credit to Carey Hart. He's the one that showed the fmx backflip was possible. He lit the fire. And now, if you "only" do a backflip, something must have went wrong.
Lands a double backflip “I’m sorry mom” haha such a LEGEND
It’s wild how much milder the crowds have gotten over the years.. wish the energy would come back again!! So rad. I remember growing up watching those earlier x games!
that backflip body varial is the best trick of all time ...my gawd!!!!
I was so big into motor x and the video games with it, THP back in the early 2000’s
I remember being a kid watching Mike Metzger in Philly that summer. It's still one of the top freestyle runs I've ever seen
We Love You, Chuck Carothers!
Chuck Carothers, You Are The Man!
The first one is still one my top fav moto moments! 🤘🏽
I still remember staying up late to see Travis go for the double and fell asleep during the comp. I woke up right as Travis was hitting the ramp. It was like a dream. I don't think I slept at all the rest of the night. Had to watch it a hundred times just rewinding
He did!,,, I had to tap back ten seconds or so “first person to land a back flip”
yeah same xD
I miss the old days of the x games in the staples center. It doesn’t have the same energy in the big stadium.
7:53 I think he ment front flip lol
Theres so much nostalgia watching this on cable tv
Tp is the goat of all sportsmen imo. Weapon
I will always remember where I was when I saw Travis do the double backflip
I had a lunchbox of travis pastrana sending that double backflip as a kid, jesus that was a nostalgia trip
Gotta say, I teared up on Mike Metzgers run. A very special run for sure.
Killer mix, Rock On!
Amazing! Insane! Fabulous....! Much much respect!!!
and all this began with supercross racers having fun in the dunes...
Travis's double backflip is iconic
That trick chuck did has to be the hardest trick ever. Nobody even does that trick ever. Everyone is afraid of it.
Caleb Moore did this on a snowmobile on the Winter X Games and Brett Turcotte almost did this on the Winter X. Also Brandon Cormier wins last snowmobile freestyle with the similar trick
Tomas page's does this trick
@@garrettsomero3622 no he doesn't
How is this trick called?
David Rinaldo just brought it back this year for best trick and kinda added his own style to it. Was really cool to see someone else busting that trick out.
04 step up battle was awesome remember watching it live!
The standing "OHHHHHHHHHH!!" From both casters when Travis landed. You knew that was a moment in world history right there. closest thing to Modern day Evil knieval.
Wow. . .really great super amazing🤩🤩🤩
Chuck Carothers, You Did It!
Crazy how most of these tricks are common now
Great tricks and clips, but Carey Hart coming back after his injury and nailing the back flip is one of my favorite moments.
I remember Kyle Loza when he first started and won his first gold medal, then followed up the next time with another gold, he was so underrated.
Old 2 stroke freestyle was amazing 😎
I remember watching Travis do the double live. It was absolutely insane!
Travis is the Real Goat 🐐 For ever
To this day I'm upset that Pastrana didn't get a perfect 100 for the Double Backflip that night LOL It was literally the best moment in X Games history, hands down 💯💯
If not TPs double then it'd have to be Tony Hawk's 900
We Missed You, Chuck Carothers!
Kingwood Texas 👍👍👍
Travis when he tired to do the mulisha twist was iconic
Travis=🐐
Dang this was sick!
that first front flip was cooler then a normal front flip lol. travis double was the best i witnessed live tho
Travis's legend
the Carolla is way under rated
Malachi Roll was definitely taken from PS2's Freekstyle 😂😂❤️
best part Rinaldo screaming 5:09
I remember when you would go get your favorite dirt bike magazine & then rent the best video & then get home and play Jeremy McGrath Supercross 98 with your buddies. Those were the times! 🎧😁🤟
Oh my god
He on xgames bruhh
Freestyle in the coliseum was elite
Вот это мастерство!
Where did the crowd go? Sad seeing those empty stands.
I remember seeing Mike Metzgers' double back flip live...I'm glad he did that in Philadelphia
all the best tricks were done on 2 strokes....2 stroke is king
I love 2 strokes but I don’t have time to rebuild that often 😂
X games was so special back in the day when it was just in Cali at staples now it feels empty
Travis Pastrana the king of motocross freestyle 👍🥰
Pastrana es legendario, fue un antes y un después desde su doble backflip en los xgames
love moto cross
Metzger was always my favorite guy in FMX growing up
Chuck Carothers, You Won A Gold Medal! 🥇
Man, moto used to be the biggest sport at the X Games. Those were the days. I honestly think it has just reached a point where the likelihood of serious injury or death is so high, it doesn't have the same mass appeal it use to.
Firts Dobel backflip from TRAVIS in X games....,
I remember this moment
Pastrana was obviously a shoe-in for multiple entries in this video, but when I saw it in my subs my first thought was "Mike Metzger, back to back flips". I'm glad you agree! Is it just me, or has the popularity of these events really dropped off from those 'glory days'?
For sure. 03-06 was the best. Mulisha and pastrana. Riders today are amazing but meh.
I seen this moment 10 years ago and now
5:00 this trick is crazy... 😱
Travis,s the best 4 ever🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌
Travis Pastrana is the greatest of all time
Jamais on aurait réussit à faire sa avec no y'z des années 80 mais aujourd'hui elle sont tellement bien équilibré et marche plus fort aussi
Kyle Loza is my favorite of all time❤️
At 4:00 deacon knows he's gonna loose i still remember that night even nate adams was 2 place beat him too
No deegan 360? Ahh the good ole days when they actually promoted Xgames....
2:00 was the opening backflip monumental or something? (The gap length?) Because I'm not seeing any other reason that average run is in this vid. And the 360 was done earlier, so I'm confused
Heeel YEAH babe
I'll never do it again,but It was time,i have that skill ,so did it again.

So technically, Chuck did FMX's first-ever body varial type trick in 2004
