I remember watching this live on TV in my living room and jumping up off the couch knocking the coffee table over my pizza and my beer and not giving two shits about what happened to the carpet because it was the awesomest thing I've ever seen!

I remember when he did this, it was crazy!

Pastrana has done SO MUCH for off-road motorsports.
He's a hero in my book.

I was lucky enough to witness this live in my house. Might be the most iconic x games moment of all time

[lecho]

Tony hawks reaction is so rad in the full video

I remember watching this on TV as a kid back in the day, super epic and powerful moment in XGames history! God bless you all in Jesus name :)

Travis took the X Cames and and all the stunt riding jumps to another level, motorcycle or car he has ultimate control and super human skills 👍💯🔥💯👌

I was 9 years old. It was the first time I saw my dad cry. Fighting through tears he said “that’s so awesome.” 🤘

1980 Olympic hockey team, Kirk Gibsons homer and Travis landing the double back flip are my seminal moments in sports.

Kids instantly pulled out MX vs. ATV Unleashed after this

[julienofitness]

First time and in front of a large crowd is triple crazy

[BassFishingidk]

i can’t explain how much i would give to see this in person

[TylerRobertst-rob]

Can't believe this was almost 20 years ago already...

[Joseph.D.Marley]

Watching this in mid 2025 and it still gives me chills lol

[christianturizo]

Nunca tuvo rival!!! The legend travis pastrana...

[jacobfritchley]

I blame Travis for my 9 broken bones, 4 concussions, and multiple dislocations. It’s not a skill issue I swear🤔

[josephhermann]

The crazy part is they didn't give him a perfect score 🤣🤣

[BooBuKittyPhuk]

God, how do you train to do something like that? I'd be too scared to ever attempt it. I mean how do you fail without killing yourself before you get it down? Crazy skill and courage
