That must be one hell of an event, looks way more exciting then the Xgames.

I liked the event. Tricks were awesome to see, but in my opinion it's not as incredible since it's off a cheater ramp. I mean, I can't do it, and neither can anybody else, but who has had access to that ramp? Only a handful of guys that are in with TP have hit it. I am more impressed with a single front off a normal ramp. The scooter guy that won bmx was mind blowing.

Disbelief no one was carted off.

That was Travis' purpose for creating the Nitro games. Put competition back into the FMX events.

Kicker ramp or jato rockets ,2 front flips is exponentially more insane than one,plus he thru some trick in there to boot if i recall.

Hell, a double back got 3rd,lol.

Pretty cool to see a racer from our area, turn his talent toward this madness. That double front flip requires a serious set of nuts bro!

I don't think that scooter guy is a real person. I'm pretty sure they figured out a way to pull him out of a video game. Did you see how straight his body and the bike were on that front flip thing he did? That was unreal.

Front flips have been done on none assist ramps. But the jump arc seems too low whit out that ramp.

Just hope the event was a success money wise so they can do one next year

A double front flip is crazy, but the "cheater ramp" puts an asterisk on the trick. For me, a proper single front flip on a normal ramp is just as impressive. But i'm no expert when it comes to FMX.

Btw the double backflip superman/tsunami combo was insane.

My uncle who can only afford to buy used shit and 10 year old quads likes to bring up how TP really messed up by not continuing to race.

Good times.

I do not get those events.. Skateboarding should be in pools and on the street and dirt bikes should be on dirt

I reluctantly watched it after having flashbacks from the last video I saw of the dude that tried it before , I hate seeing when this stuff goes bad.
