Travis Rules

[MdubSTYLIE]

Big ups to my boy Brandon Dosch. As some of you know I am a bmxer (racer). Brandon grew up racing in Michigan, long time friend and one of the best dirt jumpers in the world. Today he competed in his first xgames in bmx park. I couldn't be more proud of a dude I remember when he could even jump a bike. He was like 9, man am I getting old.

Pastrana with the double back in his freestyle run. He made it look so easy. Unfucking real!

I read somewhere yesterday where he pulled out of the best trick contest because he would not attempt the "toilet paper roll" or whatever they are calling it. In three attempts he only landed one(extremely scetch at that) into a mulch ramp. You know if Travis pulls out that has to be one dangerous trick with way too much risk.

Nice link curve. They showed him doing the 720 toilet paper roll into a foam pit yesterday during the xgames. If Travis is unwilling to attempt this than no one should. But during the segment Travis said;" would someone else please pull this off so I don't have to." Classic Pastrana. I would have thought there would be less risk in this trick than the double back. But I dont know shit about flipping a mx. I guess it would be because you cant use the throttle to initiate the momentum like you can with the flip. Obviously a more difficult trick no doubt(720).

double

Glad you guys posted this or I would have completely missed it this year. I don't watch ESPN and I didn't hear anything about it.
Amazing that guys are now throwing a double back like it's nothing. Travis' toilet paper looks super hard but it just doesn't have a wow factor.
Sorta like Tony Hawk throwing a 900.
The way these guys throw the Bmx bike and always land on the petals has made me wonder why noone has ever attempted to go off the jump, let go and throw the bike in a backflip, catch and land it. With all the shit they do it just doesn't seem like something that can't be done.
Any thoughts on that MDub?

I dont think we are to far out of seeing tricks like that. It has been done the other way around. What I mean is flipping the bike while the rider remains vertical. I have seen this done two ways, with the bike under the rider barrel roll style. And by swinging the bike by one handle bar off to the side (the easier way of the two.) But with everyone using foam pits and ski/pool jumps for training, the progression has been insane. The front flip superman last night was impressive, he through his body first and then let the bike catch up. I think with a little practice, into the water, he could front flip over the bike and catch it(like you are saying). That would be the way to do it over doing a backflip. That way you could push off to get away from the bike and initiate the flip while still holding on to the bars to keep the bike stationary in the air. Plus you would come back around hands first and could grab the bike and put it back where it goes. Next time I go to Rays MTB Park I will try to talk some of my friends to try it into a foam pit. I cant do a front flip or I would think about trying it myself. The key word being "think."

What I love about Bmx and MX jumping is how it's constantly evolving. I just gave you a scenario and you morphed it into multiple variations I had never thought about.
I grew up with my room pasted with Eddie Fiola pics. That was the pinnacle for me and the shit he was doing then is like warm up for these dudes.
While mx seems a little more limited with the weight factor it seems that BMX still has a lot of room to grow

You guys are all going to hate me! I live about 15 miles outside of Downtown LA. I didn't attend any X games events because im still recovering from Laguna both Physically and financially. If they would have had it next week I definitely would have gone to a few events.
