The FMX Triple Flip Returns

[@keepwalkn]

RIP Jay Archer. This video hits hard. I’m crying. 😢

[@BNatoAk]

I just had to Google Jayden Archer, yep, that's a damn shame 😢. Not sure why this vid hit my feed but I'm glad I got to see a bad ass in his prime!

[@teemohnay]

The fact that Sheehan did this to a solid ramp landing is fucken insane. I remember watching that video back when he first landed it. Absolute insanity.

[@dmeemd7787]

120%!! This is one of the few tricks that scares the shit out of me and I almost did not want it to come back because the risk is just too damn high but these guys are good and yeah, what Josh did is untouchable!!

@@porterde08 yeah because all the other guys never used the cushion or foam pits to practice their tricks, hand over the copium brother!

[@MrStuwr250f]

As an Aussie and a Gold Coaster, I’m super stoked and proud for the locals...also puts Josh’s triple achievement to a timber lander into perspective too!

[@BeachBumBoatsmith]

Yeah I didn't think of that! Josh's landing made all kinds of noise too.

[@Wutzmename]

Thank you for acknowledging that. Landing into an airbag as opposed to a ramp is not even on the same page but with different dangers as we see with the broken femur because the bike landed first taking out much of the cushioning effect but landing into a ramp HAS ZERO CUSHIONING EFFECT WHATSOEVER.

[@emojack]

Thats true. I love the fact that this event lifted stadium fmx to a whole new level while at the same time making sheehans six year old jump even more impressive. Its less of a progression but more of a miracle in two different worlds.

[@Mexxx65]

R.I.P Jayo :( a Bonafide Legend of FMX Condolences to his family and Beth.

[@MrCombs234]

Brings a tear to my eye man. Been watching FMX for 20 years and when I saw Travis do the first double back I couldn't believe my eyes, and now here we are at the triple. So happy for these two. Keep pushing the limits fellas. Buying my son his first dirt bike in a couple months. Maybe he'll be up there attempting the next impossible stunt in 20 years. Cheers. 🍻

[@UpYourArsenal]

I explicitly remember them calling Mike Metzger's two consecutive backflips a "double backflip" -- because we were still in an age where we didn't think people would push it much further. The 2000's were peak motorsports. Then the Jake Brown skateboard Big Air incident... Sports in general were at their greatest in the '00's.

[@Wutzmename]

AwWwWwWwWW Now check your testosterone levels because I think you may be producing too much estrogen.

[@shadoninja]

Travis landed his on a dirt ramp though.

[@thisismelsemail1217]

I need more freaking like buttons! This gave me that same amount of energy and excitement as travis doing the double backflip for the first time in world history. I can't even begin to fathom how difficult this was. The dude broke his FEMUR on an AIRBAG. Stop and think about that for a second. Literally the hardest bone to break in your body was broken hitting an airbag. I just can't dude.... So much talent and hard work in one place. Just insane....

[@ensporium8857]

The competition double onto dirt was ground shattering! FMX Hall of Fame 💯

[@ian9toes]

I reckon he landed on his bike to break his femur

[@thisismelsemail1217]

@@ian9toes That was my first thought as well but in all the footage at least it looks like he landed right next to it and he had his legs in the air when he landed which makes it even more gnarly that he broke his femur lol.

[@hobmarg]

@@thisismelsemail1217 looks like bike maybe took the air out of the bag in the area he landed in after it? So way less cushion, brutal crash!

That stadium should've had 3 times the amount of people in it for 2 people doing a triple

[@carlyedwards1135]

Would of been if the ticketing and organisation wasnt such a circus.

[@erased84]

@@carlyedwards1135 agreed. Ticket situations especially in the US is a fucking joke. Ticketmaster would’ve charged hundreds if not thousands of dollars for tickets. I don’t know how much X-games tickets cost these days but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that they’re not cheap

[@noahrhodes122]

They got fuxked around with dates because of the weather and it had to be on a Monday instead of the weekend

[@snuglife599]

Weather canceled the event until a Monday afternoon…

[@gordondeitz7838]

The times

[@flyg13]

This is just crazy, I don't think people truly understand just the height alone these guys jump. Then you add even a single flip into the mix is just mind blowing, then you add 2 more to that... yeah I'm dead. Saying this is amazing is literally an understatement. Just so effortless!

[@YvyWinter]

20:31 I'll remember him like this, RIP.

[@arnycain]

Well done Harry and Jayo! I get goosebumps every time I think about the moment they landed it

[@tonyfnd]

Goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time I watch this .. brings back memories of watching Travis hit the first double live and Deegan hit the first 360 live. F’n Awesome. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@Wutzmename]

Jesus Christ!! What's up with all the estrogen sissylalas crying in the comments section. Get some testosterone supplements bro.

[@WrathChild-NZ]

The speed of the rotation was insane! I never though it could ever be done in a stadium as when sheehan did it he had a gigantic run up

[@dennisossianderrmplmtcst2053]

Totally agree, just astonishing! The balls, audacity, tenacity and courage to get back on that bike after those hard landings in broken bones. Blows my mind! 🌟🙏🌟

Watching this contest brought me back to that same moment in LA when Travis was doing the first double flip. So many butterflies and I was just watching behind my computer screen. Ya'll are mental and are the modern day equivalent of super heroes. WE ARE NOT WORTHY 🙌

[@fandam801]

This took me back to the early 00’s, when FMX ruled the action sports world. I remember it got absurd and almost 50% FMX on FuelTV (rip) but man it was so entertaining to watch.

[@weatherton]

Absolutely amazing! Can’t believe these guys are able to keep pushing this sport further and further.

[@stespin]

9:15 With a hit like that from that height, from the viewers perspective, the simple fact that you hear screams and not silence is already a relief.

[@DannyDoggedYou]

Hence why they were so quick to get him that green whistle

[@Scrildo1]

I remember back in the day when a single flip was unheard of and the most insane thing was a really ridiculous tailwhip. Now these dudes out here doing triple flips. I tell you what Travis Pastrana and the nitro circus crew really changed and elevated the game big time!!!

[@jakedoyle8934]

My kids will be watching in 10 yrs time ... the fmx quad flip returns. Never say never travis. Will always be someone something bigger better

[@fllwnathan]

got insane chills when he landed on his bike. hearing a man scream like that is different bro

[@jesseosterhout907]

22 years ago we never thought moto would be doing the hardest box tricks too! Insane!!

[@jaket7716]

Man it’s crazy how far this sport has come, but nothing will ever beat the raw and pure adrenaline of Pastranas first double flip. That double flip really turned the page for what was possible in FMX.

[@vanmeyer7038]

A lot of people don’t even know that the nitro athlete manager, Chris Haffey is a legend to another community. I grew up watching Chris Haffey put on a pair of skates and tear up any hand rail, gap, half pipe or skate park placing 1st place in pretty much every pro event there was! He was without a doubt the GOAT aggressive in-line skating! 😮

[@smicksmookety]

As a regular person I see the jumps and just see spinny bikes, it's cool to know how much work went into getting the bikes to be spinny.

[@Budsport_TV]

Big ups to Travis for continuing to push the sport like he does for these new guys

[@mrfeelgood992]

Travis is just such a legend in the sport.

[@johnscustomsaws]

Rip jayo forever be a legend

[@lilwarthog]

Broke my femur right below the ball in my hip well BMXing at the local track. That was the worse fucking pain I have ever felt in my life!!! Glad to see this guy bounce right back too! Never stop doing what you love!!

[@Drop9071]

I didn't even know that this was physically possible, somehow I've never even heard that they were attempting a triple. Whenever you think about Travis Pastrana and the Nitro Circus, they are the ones pushing the limits of whats possible and progressing each and every sport they possibly can. Incredible people can accomplish the unthinkable.🇺🇲👍

[@Daniel-nf6cj]

was a time when single backflip was impossible lol i still remember carey hart doing the first one at the gravity games in 2000, what a time to be alive!

[@kingcosworth2643]

The first back flip by Carey Hart, as cool as it was, he didn't stick it, it was absolutely a stack. Now sure it was much closer to a land then it was to a wheelchair, but a stack none the less. Still better than anything I could do

The thing that makes this particularly wild to me is just how short the run-up is to the ramp. Like when Sheehan did his, he’s riding through the woods for what feels like 500m before even seeing the ramp.

[@Dzeroed]

Action sports always remind me of the first time I went to college. It wasn't "I'm better than you" like it was at Primary and High School anymore, you know? It's like- "I look, I have this knowledge- I will teach you everything I've learned. Now you need to do it better so we can both learn together." It's not just a sport, it's a philosophy for LIVING

[@JesseK410]

Some serious hang time there, WOW the bike was on the limiter for a min! I cant imagine how it feels to land on the bag it must hurt after hella landings! MADDOG

[@DiscgliderPete]

Not to take away fro Hart and the 2000 X games, but the First ever backflip on a dirt bike was landed in 1985ish by Jose Yanez. Jose was also the stuntman who executed the backflip for the bmx movie Rad.

Barely comparable but I have looped a hang glider dozens of times which can result in tragedy if done wrong and the glider tumbles. Anyway for me the feeling afterwards is always approximately 10% excitement/joy/satisfaction and 90% relief. I bet that’s the same feeling for these guys too.
