Needs a few more camera angles, but awesome none the less

Pretty impressive, but I still don't think it gets close to this

I remember reading about Travis when he was a very young kid.

They were at Lorretta Lynn's and none of the 125's or 250's had attempted the triple in practice. He pulled over to the side of the track and asked his dad could he have a go.

He then hit the triple on his big wheel 80

I wouldn't want his hospital bills though, his body must be fuct.

quite right.

the angle and distance of the ramps are calculated - all he hadto do was press the fast pedal to reach the right speed. had enough cage and safety equipment than anyone could do it really.

requires nowhere near the courage of the bike jump.

Oh he's not short of courage (or insanity depending on your viewpoint) or indeed bike skills

I saw a lot of guys doing jumps on the downhill mountain bikes. Did a few myself. Not a single one came off a racing/freeriding "career" without a major injury. I won't list mine here, but I don't do big jumps anymore. And they're not big compared to those guys!!
