No doubt. That was a wild flip to throw. Honestly just jumping a mx bike is nuts. But to do what these guys do is insane.

Savages

No

it will get harder. i predict in 10 years they will be on 500cc 2 strokes, or some insane electric bikes pulling tripple back flips. shame that the marketing around this event isn't near the same standard as the athletes themselves

I think the problem is that it’s kind of hit the ceiling at least now. The last 10 or so years it’s either a double backflip or a front flip that wins

Honestly it's only because there aren't enough personalities anymore. I don't think it is too dull (even though it is a little dull still, for the same reason), but there isn't really a face anymore. The only person that might get recognized by someone not a hard-core fan (or Japanese if it's Taka) is Jacko Strong, and that's because of Brian Deegan, the leader of the Metal Mulisha, one of the groups that started this sport. When this first kicked off at X Games in 99, everyone in it was a known commodity. Anyone that liked this kind of sport KNEW who these people were. And the ATHLETES knew that too, so they worked with that as much as possible, played the roles WWE style as much as they wanted to. You had people like the Godfather Mike Metzger, The Destroyer Nate Adams, Cowboy Kenny Bartram, riders from the Metal Mulisha like Jeremy Twitch Stenberg, Todd Potter, and of course Deegan, and so many others. And then of course.....you have Travis Pastrana. Travis Pastrana is the Albert Einstein of this sport. The Gordan Murray. The Michael Jordan AND Jackson. You see where I'm going with this 🤣 he was the personality AND the innovator. He was the wonderkid. He is the reason, even to this day, that FMX is what it is. And that's also part of the problem. He's STILL that. He still is the person doing that, because not really anyone else is taking up that mantle. Some people are for other sports, like Ryan Williams for BMX, or Moto Shibata for skateboarding. But no one is really taking that "face of the sport" mantle here in FMX and it sucks. Badly

Progression has come along way 4 sure! If a guy just throws a single backflip and no combo it's a throw away run. Also you heard the commentators mention it without a double backflip and or Frontflip your not cracking the top 2

Hands down by FAR the best freestyle rider ever. No one I see doing the flair variations and bike flips like him!

nope, retired from competing

@@MrStripecker really I don’t remember him saying anything ab it. That’s sad he made x games interesting

What do you mean? That’s what the format is…best of two runs.

You just wanna see people get injured? If you land your best possible run why go do it again?

I’ve been thinking the same thing, kind of dull and boring without the sound of fans.

Ten seconds left

😂

good to know i wasnt the only one who noticed it

😂

No…you do back to back front flips you deserve a gold. Judges were very solid and fair

Jacko is great, but Rob just better at this point he did a worlds first never been done. Jacko could probably do the same stuff as rob though

@@Fallen_0nes I would like to see gregg duffy in x games and do a double front flip, he won nitro world games with a double front flip

@@GrowingDownUnder for best trick yes…not for freestyle haha. Way too difficult

@@GrowingDownUnder using a "cheater ramp"

sabes que es lo que le mueven al volante cada ves que caen ?
