That video was definitely worth the wait! Marxdog is the man! What do we have to do to get Steve to do it?

How cool of a guy is Pastrana. I would have to think it would be impossible for anyone to not be a TP fan.

That was awesome. Well done Travis!

Only critique of the video is that they should've included the Dune Goon clip somewhere for people that haven't seen it/context of the nickname. Otherwise great job. Must have been surreal being at the Pastrana compound.

I wish there was a behind the scenes to the behind the scenes video, video. After Swizcore's write up I had pretty high expectation for the video edit.

I gotta say, that was really impressive. I don't think I'd even want to straight air into that foam pit and Travis was boosting flips into the pit. Respect!

I've been working on the flip myself. One day seems like a lot to think about!

Impressed! Pressure must've been pretty good to just walk into a scenario like that with no flip skills and do it all in a day. I would've been cool with flipping the mini into the pit and retiring my trick career. Good for him.

To have TP199 say he was the best student he's ever had is the biggest compliment one could probably ever have in this sport. Freestyle or not, to have the most gifted rider ever (in my opinion) praise you has to feel amazing.

As far as the pressure goes, I honestly feel like Marxdog went into that not even thinking failure was an option...he said he would do it halfway joking on one of the biggest media outlets in moto, then TP and Michelin say "Alright guy here's your shot", he didn't have much of a choice....probably just kept repeating to himself "do whatever he tells me to do, you'll be fine"...and everything we have heard he did just that.

With that kind of pressure, anything is possible.

Loved Marxdog before, now I am a legitimate fan.

Well done!

No video at all, just a blank screen, I'm on windows 10 / latest updates / google chrome / latest updates, html5 is not disabled via the chrome options either...

Will not play on edge or mozilla for me either, but I prefer chrome for general use.

I'm pretty tech savvy, I've tried several things and no luck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man, I still can't believe everyone got so interested in this project, but it's awesome. Thank you to everyone who followed along while we were there and checked out the video. Swizcore did an awesome job on it I think. TP was awesome, he's a genuine dude just like you would imagine. Having him compliment me the way he did, on multiple occasions, has been surreal almost. I'm running with it though for sure. Thanks again everybody for the kind words, support, and congratulations. It's been rad to say the least.
