mdemko Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Did Travis ever name the 720? I thought it was a rodeo flip from BMX and trsvis called it the Toilet Paper(TP) Roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Graves Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Sorry RKM but the triple backflip wont happen, he did it on a special ramp that they want to use instead of the megaramp. The ramp is at more of an angle so you can get more air while using a smaller roll in, its supposed to be safer but idk. X-Games should be sick tho none the less. Enduro X is gonna be pretty sick and FMX is gonna be inside of the staples center for the first time which will be interesting to see what they do for the layout.

That's why I put "Possible", never know with some of those guys though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkproductions Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 well, pastrana is sadly out for the weekend (at least my guess would be), because in best trick he landed on his side, just like last year, and broke his right ankle and foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he's out of the rest of X games and a bit of Nascar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
