Travis Pastrana Doing First Backflip in Supercross, showing up Chad Reed

Chad Reed and Travis Pastrana doing a hot lap when Pastrana caps it off with a backflip over the finish line jump!
San Diego Supercross
February 9, 2008

[@von551]

the best part was Pastrana's interview after the hot lap. he said he was peer pressured into it by Reed. He was going to call pastrana a pussy for the rest of his life if he didn't flip the finish line. that's peer pressure right there.

[@paulycannoli2138]

Damn you commented this 15 years ago!! Hope all is well

[@johndoe1778]

@@paulycannoli2138 haha bruh he's probably in an Olds home by now 😜🤣

[@hudsonja]

reason 1 why Pastrana is the #1 all around rider, backflip during a race and multiple freestyle championships.. dude's a legend

[@jasonhenry7520]

Joseph Hudson Uhmm I don't think that was technically during a race bud. At a race yes, during no.

[@jasonhenry7520]

Joseph Hudson He is still a baddass tho lol

[@hudsonja]

Jason Henry details, details lol

[@jasonhenry7520]

haha would be amazing if he would have pulled that during a race tho. Dangerous but amazing.

[@laneruarks4350]

backflips at 2 mph, off trees, ends of races, and doubles them

[@lilbuddyko]

that has to be one of the most EPIC things to ever happen on a SX track! Just think how sick it would've been if he done that during the race...i would've lost my mind!!!

[@610610billy610610]

35 people are AMA officials

[@bewimotos]

thats how you pump the crowed... man nowadays racers are scared to make a nac nac for show off

[@briankfs]

last time I checked a nac nac doesnt win a race.

[@ridered7262]

@@briankfs Tell that to McGrath

[@ShepardOfficial]

@@ridered7262 He just busted the nac on the finish line. Thatd be like saying touchdown dances win the superbowl.

[@BH-nf5lv]

Nick Self doesn’t matter, he still did it

[@ShepardOfficial]

@@BH-nf5lv I fail to see the point in your statement. I clearly agree he did it, why say that? Lol

[@jarrodchambers8185]

Kids watching this have seen so many backflips now. They’re amazed that crowds were in the stands.

[@LT1Davo]

This comment Haha

[@rodbelding9523]

Pastrana is the best action sports athlete of all time, I have no doubts. Supercross, FMX, rally cars, NASCAR. Seriously, he's done it all.

[@andrewison4728]

Pastrana on a whole nother level with freestyle. The best motorcycle rider to ever live. Race and freestyle champion and innovater

[@xploited-lp9tz]

I'll argue that the late Nicky Hayden was the best motorcycle rider.

[@Suzu92]

That in my opinion one of the best parts,I had field seats wich kicked ass to see him soo close.Good job on the vid.

[@garyroberts7257]

Pastrana is absolutely fearless and has the abilities to back it up

[@tomarto11]

amazing.. he must be one of the gutsiest people to ever live.

[@kevinsmith2747]

That’s pretty coo. However Musquin’s light neckless is also pretty coo. Someone out there knows what I’m talking about

[@vanwisely4092]

Kinda

[@cadenreese8656]

yeah his LED Leatt neckbrace, and then he had the light up tech 10's from AStars too

[@Mxripper199]

[@ejwall]

[@fedup7941]

Pastrana is the ultimate entertainer.

[@accorgitene]

I love that man!

[@gnevnev]

such a legend

[@DngrDan]

I just did this in MX vs ATV All Out and felt cool. Got me wondering if anyone has done that in real life. Of course it was Travis Pastrana. I can only imagine how cool HE felt

[@jeremypiper4309]

I thought I was the only person who played that game haha

[@DngrDan]

@Jeremy Piper I think we might be the only two in the world because those online servers were DEAD when I played it

[@amazingman40]

that was awesome i was there and i went to the one where he did the double backflip and that was insanely awesome

[@danframe]

yup both really amazing riders

[@BUFFETBOYSusa]

i was there and it was awsome got a picture of him upside down doing the backflip

[@tiago_musik_SD]

i was there in '08 when it happened at Qualcomm Stadium

[@evanjanse4038]

God bless, Jesus loves you. Rip Qualcomm

[@HIPfreez226]

i love both of them

[@jackrobertson7888]

The best bit is how he checks up to hear reed hit the finish because he hadn’t jumped it before to see how hard reed hit it 😂

[@invertmini5996]

Glad i saw this irl. :')

[@squantotheboywonder]

i just recently got and rm 125 i love it i want to race but i cant find any 2stroke races.

[@MadwillMusicOfficial]

[@MrDrWaldo]

[@deegan463]

[@MXguy198]

[@mexrich97]

[@siren0770]

hangtown way to go!! i live right by there, that is a hard track!

[@Henkkathehenkka]

Was travis in the race with the others , or was he just there to do a show?

[@ipathbomb92]

[@99isaac999]

i love you travis

[@willharbin3735]

[@michael575538]

[@BeastyJake97]

[@Turbojeep23]

travis is the backflip king. he did 8 backflips in 30 seconds.

[@yhefri15]

wats the cc?...sorry i just got my dirt bike and is a suzuki yellow is the same as the one that travis have but is a 125..and i think is four stroke cuz is not taht powerful...and i don't know wat's that cc ?..=/

[@CnRDirt]

espn? or wat channel on dish?

[@FMG49]

who won?

[@joebloggs2534]

What year was this?

[@fallen771]

He first did this at Daytona supercross in 06, though didn't land it. Still pretty crazy.

[@afpj96]

What a beast

[@texasted73]

Awesome!!!!

[@7viewerlogic670]

Awesome!

[@mkifyousayso]

at 0:53 he was like "...What could possibly go wrong?"

[@rookiefmxrider]

Yeahhh!! CRF 250R AWESOME TRIAL BIKE!!!

[@thinyourface]

@sicman47 He isnt banned he is just not allowed to.. he does it anyways because thats how he roles. Flip anything and everything.

[@yzkx711]

cc means cubic centimeters. you can find it on your motor somwhere

[@WrathChild-NZ]

depends. 4 stroke has more torque but is heavier, tho the cc can go up to like 500cc.

[@mikeneumann4660]

Legend

[@eskimo112233]

wooohooooo!.... :D travis is the best

[@careysk8]

its so crazy when they put on the flame througers

[@camclutch195]

ya it was on nitro circus

[@abassett22]

it depends on the cc's

[@OPEK.]

I was there!

[@rookiefmxrider]

5 time motocross winner over a ktm 125 and a cr 250, Awesome baby bike!

[@Mast3rChef119]

favorite two guys on a bike. only way it would be better is if RC was out there

[@luxy881]

I know how an engine works mate I was referring to the overall size of the engine not the cc when I said about the head size. Fair call on the emissions then my bad. You said in your other comment 4 strokes are double the size cylinder wise??

[@Markbabb]

travis is just that fucking good

[@masterod1]

masters of the Bike.. Amen

[@rustypotatos]

Shivers

[@TheChuck9mm]

reed backflip too?

[@randyblue9829]

everyone who said anything dumb about this vid watch revalution 199 it will shut all you people that know nothing about his career.

[@hondarider219]

seeing an FMX legend on arace track is sick

[@jordangamble3515]

You do know Travis competed in supercross before his freestyle career began right?

[@RandyRaz1]

Awesome

[@cbirk246]

All terrain is fun dude.

[@AxleRods]

Still cool as hell

[@snowvalleyrat]

Did Reed do a trick too?

[@TheM2o0]

just a fat whip

[@Koltync]

@xcrosskid ya definatly but he could go sideways or front to back who knows but i know that he is king

[@JakeFerrero708]

Such a fuckin legend

[@kramerican]

So did Travis lose the race then?

[@PaulAllenOnline]

pastrana rules!

[@amazingman40]

@cmscarl yea that is

[@jwctex14]

@forbzy61 I don't know, because it is unsafe in a race I guess,

[@druminsk8]

@agratias716 yeah but even as a kid he thrived at fmx and ik its a championship and all but pastrana will always put an xgames medal before a title

[@yamacrash]

Dude is nuts

[@KTMenduro200]

Only Pastrana man only him...

[@dirtbikingdragon]

Who's getting this recommended in 2021!?!?

[@ErlandasDeksnys]

Toughest dude ever

[@agabla]

cc is cubic centimeter and is the size of the engine so urs is a 125 cc

[@jwctex14]

@forbzy61 No, he got fined and pentalized for doing a backflip during an AMA race.

[@druminsk8]

@shinfo002 dude he raced out doors and indoors before duuh and i meant in the only area pastranas any good aka the freestlye aspect its a hot lap obviously reeds not trying but pastrana would destroy reed in freestyle because they both have theyre areas of expertese

[@YoungLudd]

wish i wouldov been there

[@M3Pilot]

i thought it ment cylinder capacity

[@AKmikeW]

damn, flippin a four stroke! is this jst a mess around lap or what?
