When Travis did the double, I never, EVER though a triple would be possible under an conditions or circumstances. That was hands down the most amazing thing I have ever seen, what else can even be said? Unbelievable.

It's just getting stupid. To try to compare that to Evel is ridiculous, it's out hucking the last guy, airbags and foam pits have ruined true daredevilry.

Maybe, maybe not, but computers definitely have.

Throttle up to 88.3 mph and you'll hit it perfect!

Also: landing-ramps that are taller than the takeoff.

Jesus. Are these people completely prepared to die or something?

The risk vs reward doing something like that I compare to going to war on the front line...very real risk of death.

Holy shit !!!!!!

Bruh he doesn't have anything I just quad flipped my Yamaha rmx 480 3.5 stroke over a 400+ gap, ps I'm sponsored by monster,rockstar,nos energy, metal mulisha. Really though how does the guy spot his landing?!?! I guess just pin it and hope for it. Can't wait for Nitro Circus Live in STL got my tickets! Fmx has gone aloooong way since heel clickers and no handed landers, it's insane man...

Wonder why they don't do these insane stunts in front of crowds like Evel and Robbie Madison did? Sheehan could have made a few million bucks if he would have done that for a New Years No Limit stunt.

Josh isn't doing it for the money, his motivation is a lot different. He is one of the most humble guys I know.

Anybody remember California games on the ps1?

It had a bike level where you could flip it, everybody was like yeah hahah! As if.

25 years later and it's been tripled, on a bloody moto !

That guy is true legend, heroic.

Josh is such a laid back guy who gives respect to everyone he meets, a huge ambassador. I remember he did one of my coaching schools and I was half way through the school before I even realised who he was. He just fitted in like an average student.

Yeah that's right Mossy - he's not the type to brag about himself Grinning

He's a very humble and down to earth bloke with so much talent, determination and the will to succeed.
