1999 Gravity Games Travis Pastrana Final Run

[@leestuart38]

Keep in mind that Travis also invented over half of the tricks in this run, at 15. What a legend

[@oh_look_bananas]

Which ones?

[@kyleheaser351boombaby]

@@oh_look_bananas also a freddy murcury fan

[@quaussiemoto3939]

Also the fastest rider ever to race in the AMA

@@oh_look_bananas I think the lazy boy, maybe the nac nac, to name a couple

[@rycar8774]

Nac Nac was invented by Jeremy McGrath.

[@dk212]

What I always loved was his pure mx approach and powering through every corner. So rad. No one rode like him.

[@username69420h]

It was to his benefit, the faster you get through those turns, the more tricks you can do, which improves your score. Genius to do it that way. Nyjah Huston does this in his competitions, get in as many tricks as you can, spend as little time not doing tricks as possible.

[@Sb-do6xc]

So nice to see a run without stopping every two seconds to lift flip levers or tighten steering dampers

[@conan837]

Hahaha so true

[@racingfuel28]

This was also back when freestyle riders actually knew how to ride a bike. The reason the era of Travis, Nate, Kenny, Brian, Mike Metzger, and most every other freestyler from the late 90s and early 2000s was so fun to watch is because they knew how to ride a bike. They raced for years before they did freestyle, because up to that point FMX wasn’t really a thing, so they knew all the fundamentals of riding. Now guys in the X Fighters or whatever know cool tricks and stuff, but you aren’t going to see them racing the course like this, because they don’t really know how.

[@Sb-do6xc]

@Ben Coker so true they were all so quick around the course. I get bored after 1 or two runs now. Where as then i could watch it over and over

[@socks2441]

yeah, and the turns. i have not seen anyone roostering turns and actually riding while doing fmx before.

[@Largedoinker69]

@@racingfuel28 this is not true at all😭 no one puts their kid on a dirtbike and says go do tricks before you know how to ride. everyone learns fundamentals while riding and still to this day people don’t immediately set their sights on freestyle, not to mention the fact that the trucks being thrown now require focus and perfection on every takeoff so it’s not really reasonable to be railing around the whole area

[@Benisreallycool]

I remember watching this live, truly one of the defining moments of extreme sports, just opened it all up and showed how much more there was to come!

[@Benisreallycool]

I should have finished the clip before commenting....

[@pault7333]

Man I love watching this guy ride never stops and always goes full throttle and pushes it to the limits. And definitely glad he is still here with us today he is a true down to earth guy I got the chance to meet and hang with him in Cleveland at the gravity games. Dude is my favorite extreme games athlete of all time. Much love from Ohio Travis stay blessed, safe, and healthy

[@kielfermil2359]

Remember how sick freestyle was before the backflip ?!

[@kyleheaser351boombaby]

Exactly! Far more style and fun to watch. BMX freestyle is experiencing this same thing, but for us it's tailwhips/barspins. Personally I'd love to see contests based on trick variety, amplitude and style. More beautiful/flowing/stylish runs adding a lot to overall score

[@braap8425]

@@kyleheaser351boombaby ye exactly same with dirt jump and freeride mountain biking, they all pushing them self to the limits but no more style, its just about doing a 3 whip flip, cashroll or whatever rotation trick it is

[@kltklt2513]

The really freestyle

[@rodbelding9523]

I agree. Tricks were so much more creative before everyone had to start doing backflips.

[@Rimraz]

OG freestyle! Dirt jumps and no back flips! Wide open on a 125! Unreal.

[@NVE]

i had a souped up 2000 rm80 with an fmf exhaust when i was a kid because of travis lol.

Man the old school freestyle we all knew and loved still gives chills so many years later. And espn though freestyle would die off after a few years thank god for X GAMES BABY

[@sharonsheppard4506]

Rm looking good love the rm old school

[@jaminjosh23]

Talk about a throw back, I remember watching this as it aired.

[@Theupstateidiots]

It's amazing to see what motocross has evolved in to within 20 years. To think this was barely scratching the surface is amazing.

[@Landonmoto39]

I love how he attacked the entire freestyle course like he was racing it

[@MotoBoar]

Brutal, simply brutal, and he was just a teenager! Deep respect for Travis

[@germac16126]

Tout simplement fabuleux ! Quand on voit ce qu'il était capable de faire à 16 ans on comprend la suite de sa carrière. Un homme hors du commun !

[@Texastrailrider]

Suspension sure has came a long way.

[@bhill7807]

Funny watching these old clips was such a new sport the announcers had no clue what to say

[@Petsprz]

I'm was at the maximum level of excitement when I'm watching this back then.

[@kltklt2513]

These years were the really freestyle...There are no words to describe Travis

[@trvawter]

Great to see x games WITHOUT a back flip and everyone is freaking out! Ahhhh the good ol' days....

[@nico52carr]

It’s so cool to see all the different tricks he can do, way cooler than any backflip combo people do today

[@buck_maize111]

1:40 That double heel clicker with feet back on pegs before the next heel clicker is still 🔥

[@anthonymcculloch156]

It's so refreshing to watch all videos and not have to look at backflips constantly

[@MrJokkoma]

Dirtramps, short landings and a 125 bike whit 0 error margin on the inruns and still pulling the tracks biggest jumps like a boss!

[@shawnfreeoftyranny8849]

Travis's mom so nervous she cannot look ? If she only knew where it was gonna go. I was on this then and at the Philly games in 02'. Was trying to do it myself in spare time but the progression was insane. Then so many times thinking it just cannot go any further and it still does.

[@billygildark4565]

To this day 20 years later I still haven’t seen any fmx no handler lander like that.....

[@kyleheaser351boombaby]

Not exactly like that in a contest, but I've seen a few insanely crazy no hander landers far beyond this in danger level/skill level. This was rad, and honestly just looked great, but there are people doing stupidly dangerous no hander lander variations in and out of contests

[@69mjar]

Fricken legend!

[@elliottaylor8344]

This was so rad at the time 🙂

[@ryanbarker4422]

What a run.

[@antonio_qp]

Wow! my uncle brought this VHS when he was working in the USA in the late 90s and early 2000s, if I'm not mistaken there was another one documenting Pastrana's life, or if it was this one, I don't remember it well...

Bring back rutted fmx courses ! Back when you had to know how to ride a bike to compete.

[@kyleheaser351boombaby]

I'd argue also bring back non-flip maneuver contests. Less dangerous, more style, wider variety of tricks. This was simply more fun to watch than modern contests. Too many flips in my opinion. Or at least a limit to the amount of flips. Loved this.

[@kyleheaser351boombaby]

also higher point values on style vs trick danger

[@shayneno999]

@@kyleheaser351boombaby I think limit flips would be the go. I remember as a kid when new upright tricks came out it was awesome! You had to buy a magazine or vhs/DVD to find out what riders were up too. Glory days
