MOTO X: THE FIRST TEN YEARS | World of X Games

Moto X debuted at X Games in 1999, and this show chronicles the best motorcycle action from the first 10 years. It includes the greatest hits from the golden age of moto: 15-year-old Travis Pastrana winning the inaugural X Games Freestyle contest, Brian Deegan and the Metal Mulisha wreaking havoc, Mike Metzger blowing minds with back-to-back backflips. It’s all here, from the first 360s and body varials to one of the crowning moments of X Games - Pastrana’s legendary double backflip in 2006.
Some of history’s top racers are highlighted, too. Motorcycle Hall of Fame members like Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, Doug Henry and Jeff Ward all are featured capturing gold medals in disciplines as diverse as SuperMoto to Step Up.

[@BigHerm157]

Every time I see the double back flip from pastrana I get chills.

[@XGames]

I think that's the universal response at this point.

[@dogbite4093]

me too.. its still probably my favorite x games moment .. that and the first 900 from tony hawk

[@XGames]

@@dogbite4093 Same!

[@justinbarrett2343]

I want to see Travis do the triple back flip!!!!

[@garrett3234]

nothing was greater than being 9 years old watching Travis live hit a double backflip. insane still remember what exactly i was doing to this day

[@AlexNH56]

The best years of Xgames in my opinion! I don’t think there will be anything like these those ten years!

[@XGames]

The birth of a new sport, it was a unique and welcomed beginning!

[@VlogEpicness]

The early years were the best. I miss that energy and excitement.

[@XGames]

It's still there in riders like Jackson Strong and David Rinaldo.

[@timothyholland2927]

I miss the old days of X Games. And I’ve attended all three that were in philly.

[@XGames]

Probably bumped into you at some point...

[@timothyholland2927]

X Games probably, I was all over the place during those times, had vip for all three in Philly.

[@XGames]

@@timothyholland2927 Ah, those glorious times when we could be around other people...

[@timothyholland2927]

X Games with no issues or problems.

[@williamjones1893]

Timothy Holland I miss the old days of x games too 😢😢😢.

[@MrStripecker]

@xgames it would be a gift to any die hard fan of yours seeing replays from moto contests from 2004 to 2006 🙏🙏the golden era. Best times were at the Home Depot Center 😢 miss it

[@XGames]

Putting in the ask. Thanks for the input!

[@michiadams]

They should defenetly do that this year, there's no better time for it🤷🏻‍♂️

[@elliott9999999]

How many times can you say dude in a 20 second convo Deegan: yes

[@XGames]

Lol.

[@XGames]

Dude.

[@thegenxchannel80s22]

The evolution 10 years later is a more exciting thing to watch, riders were more extremes, the likes of levi sherwood and thomas pages doing those double backflips, special flips and that historic bike flips were truly awesome

[@androo357]

I remember watching that 2003 Xgames when Nate Adams threw that backflip heel clicker the first time, then Deegan and Pastrana battling it out. That was when everything changed.

[@kelsigraham4415]

There won’t ever be another Travis Pastrana, in my opinion the best of the best he really took freestyle to another level. The Mulisha has a lot of greats but Pastrana will always be the number one name in freestyle.

[@Bakuru]

Never. He is STILL a pusher of the sport and environment to this day. FMX arguably wouldn't be here anymore without him

[@DieselNDirt_]

THESE were the golden days of Freestyle moto X. So much progression in such a short amount of time and personally, I’d make an argument that these riders were, and are still the most talented riders to ever throw a leg over a bike. Simply because they were the guys who pushed the sport to where it is today. And of course, the Revelation 199 of Travis Pastrana on a whole other level. God bless the early years of FMX.

[@matthew1753]

The greatest years of all time. RiP Lusk!

[@XGames]

True legend.

Travis will stick anything he tries...PS-luv them 2-strokes!!!

[@HitnRunTony]

I remember watching the Travis Double Backflip live. I was on my feet in my living room 😂

[@___blaggard999___8]

I went to one here in ireland years ago, travis won that one too. The good ole days, respect.

[@tonexotero3044]

Travis Pastrana the king of Motocross free style 🤙☺️

[@sparksk8er]

We all can agree Travis is the undisputed king of FMX, but man I tell ya....Twitch was and still is my favorite

[@wesleyblanton2432]

Pastrana’s Double backflip is one of those events that you will always remember where You were when You first saw it!

[@WrathChild-NZ]

RIP Lusk

[@matthew1753]

Bring back speed and style xgames !!! All the young guys would kill it and some of the old heads too!!!!

[@XGames]

True.

Sad to see what fmx industry has become. Golden era

[@chrispark7933]

I remember the cary hart backflip gravity games in providence ri. Met so many chill riders there

[@sykoteddy]

This was a great nostalgia trip, up next is watching some ol' good Crusty Demons of Dirt =)

[@ethanbenfield2285]

I love progression but its a double edged sword. I love seeing the craziness today, but i miss when our heads EXPLOADED seeing a heel clicker and thought backflips were the holy grail

Was great times ever ✊✊

Metal mulisha were always douchebags. Corny assholes with their “bad boy tough guy gimmick”. Brian deegan still hasn’t done a 360, just a tweaked backflip.

He just pulled a double backflip 360 a few months ago. Twice as high as his double flip and twice as crazy. Dudes still got it 👍🏻

[@backwithabang5842]

The hype is completely gone. We have awesome fmxers today, but cause of all the social media and stuff they have no personality at all....it was never the tricks only that get the crowd to the games, it was the all american kid pastrana, the bad boy deegan, cowboy kenny bartram, mad mike jones, tommy clowers, nate Adams...everyone had his personality and no one ever Attacked a fmx Track like travis did, thats why theres no hype today...the ogs are gone.

Lol that metal mulisha look did not age well they all look so goofy standing there acting tough 🤣

[@jasonrees6012]

I see why they were a militia ...they all look the same. Talk the same , and act the same .Pretending to be poor white boys ... because ,you know if people found out that it costs their parents tens of thousands of dollars , well then they're not so cool .Why don't they tell all the kids watching how much it would cost their parents to get into dirt biking. Skipping high school and washing out of the sysytem, you know ,what really happens . Lots of hype in this sport , I love it , but the lights are bright .
